Ever since Karthi entered the film industry, there has always been speculations about an anticipated pair up with his elder brother Suriya.

Looks like the brothers are finally coming together making the wishes of their fans come true with 'Maattrraan'.


Yes, K.V Anand's upcoming film 'Maattrraan' starring Suriya and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead will be partially fulfilling their fans wish to bring the brothers together. May be not in Tamil but atleast in Telugu.

The hot news emerging before the film’s release is that Karthi has dubbed for one of the twin characters in ‘Brothers’ which is the Telugu release of ‘Maattrraan’.

Karthi is known to be quite adept with the Telugu language and has put it to good use for his brother for the first time ever.  This will further boost his appeal in the Telugu industry  where a number of his movies have already been dubbed and released.

We all know that the Jayam Ravi is portraying a boxer in his upcoming film 'Boologam' co-starring Trisha and directed by debutante Kalyana Krishnan. It is produced by V. Ravichandran of Aascar films and is inspired from the life of a real life Asian boxing champion named Madhan.

The first look of this film has been released and Ravi is looking beefed-up with a strong physique. He puts on an aggressive stare in a tight red sleeveless top. Trimmed stubble, spiked hair and some big gold chains complete his 'rough and tough' look.

Fans of the 'chocolate boy' romantic hero might find this look really interesting and different.

With the release of A.L Vijay's 'Thaandavam', Vikram has lined up a major surprise for his ardent fans.

For the first time in his acting career, Vikram is sporting a 'six pack' for one of the fight sequences in the movie. Though, Vikram has a very muscular physique that he has flaunted in his earlier movies, this is the first time that he is sporting such abs for a film. It is expected to be one of the biggest highlights in the film. 

For this, Vikram had hired the same trainer, Alkhas Joseph, who works with Suriya. The trainer, who travelled with the actor to the shooting locations in London was impressed with the actor's commitment and dedication to fitness and was surprised at his muslces given the age. 


This 'six pack' image was splashed all over the media by the producers on the day 'Thaandavam' released. Now that was one awes-trucking marketing move, one must say that the expectations of the film shot up after seeing this dashing macho image.

After all that hype that the film has created, does it meet the expectations of the audience ? Find out yourself at a cinema near you.

Vedhika Kumar, the gorgeous looking actor, best known for her roles in 'Muni (2007)' and 'Sakkarakatti (2008)' has acted in Telugu and Kannada language films too.

"Language is never a barrier when it comes to expressing human emotions... They are universal! I would love to explore other industries too, provided I am offered an interesting role," said Vedhika, who is currently filming for Bala's 'Paradesi' co-starring Adharvaa and Dhansika in the lead.

Sharing an actor's experience of working with the ace director, Vedhika found director Bala to be very polite and amicable contrary to her expectations of a very tough taskmaster as his reputation. She even mentioned of being apprehensive on signing the project but yet reluctantly agreed to it in order to create a good name for herself.



"Bala has a brilliant approach to get the work done from his actors. He doesn't panic and is very gentle even in tense situations. He can only be understood through experience and I cherish mine having worked with him," signed off Vedhika sharing her work experience with the 'Paradesi' director.

After a debut alongside 'Chiyaan' Vikram with the Suseenthiran directed 'Rajapattai (2011)' that almost went unnoticed, Deeksha Seth has been on the lookout for good Tamil projects.


The hot-sexy model/actor is now awaiting release of her upcoming Telugu project 'Rebel' co-starring Prabhas and Tamannah in the lead. Deeksha is also part of STR's 'Vettai Mannan' that is hibernating due to Simbu’s tight schedules.

However, now we hear that directors are now looking at Deeksha as a possible replacement for Anushka, for it is believed that she has similar physical attributes as the latter. It can be recollected that Vikram, during the making of Rajapattai, praised the pretty actor saying her height and talent will make her the most sought after talent in the town. But, the below par performance of the film at the box office made his prophesy go wrong. 

Will Vettai Mannan do the magic for her? Only time will answer that.

Kajal Aggarwal might have just lost a big project opposite the most happening actor in Tollywood.

The gorgeous actor and her successful pairing with Prince Mahesh Babu for 'Businessman' was supposed to be repeated in an upcoming Telugu movie to be directed by Sukumar.

Reportedly, a lavish song was also shot with Mahesh Babu and Kajal Aggarwal with over 1000 group dancers at a cost of 2 crores. Now, that Kajal busy with her prior commitment with a couple of Tamil films, she is unable to allot dates for shooting her portions for this project with Mahesh.

With this unforeseen development, the makers of 'Sukumar's untitled project' are left in the lurch with no other option then to look for an appropriate replacement for Kajal.

Now, the lavish song that was shot will count as a loss for the producer as they are scouting for a new heroine, preferably a tall Bollywood model.

Director Mysskin had earlier planned to make a sequel to his ambitious superhero project 'Mugamoodi' that was marketted as Tamil cinema's first superhero movie.

Mysskin wanted to start the sequel soon after the film's release, However, there are reports floating around that Mysskin is planning to direct and produce another film soon in which he might also play the lead role. 

Now, what would happen to the much expected sequel of Mugamoodi?

The director has to clarify his stand on this sequel, which our source says would definitely happen in the near future.

Shriya Saran is a self made success story who has successfully scaled dizzying heights of stardom.

The actor recently found herself helpless and stranded in Mumbai traffic with a punctured tyre after driving over a pothole. She was thoroughly embarassed and felt even worse because some of her friends from abroad were visiting her at the time.

Shriya was rescued by her father and a Mumbai cab did the rest.

The pretty lass expressed her gratitude to her father as well as her cabbie for saving the day for her and her friends.

As reported earlier, Anushka is keeping her offers on hold so that she can allot dates to Ajith's 53rd film to be directed by Siva of 'Siruthai' and 'Alex Pandian' fame. 

We now hear that Anushka might be roped in to replace Richa Gangopadhyay in Karthi's Biriyani to be directed by Venkat Prabhu.

Anushka is already pairing up with Karthi for 'Alex Pandian' and sources aver that their pair is very good. Plus the producers of Biriyani, Studio Green, have already worked with Anushka in films like Singam then and now its sequel and Alex Pandian. This might have factored in the director considering her for Biriyani too.

Will Anushka jump on board the Biriyani team or will she keep the project on hold ?

Watch this space for an update !

The 3D trend is beginning to pick up in Tamil cinema.

Our filmmakers are noticing the crowds that throng the cinemas to watch Hollywood 3D flicks and are looking to bank on that demand.

First it was director Shankar who re-released the blockbuster Sivaji in 3D recently and now we are hearing that one of last year’s surprise hits ‘Kaanchana’ is soon to go 3D as well.

It has been reported that famed Telugu producer Bellamkonda Suresh is backing the project that involves converting the entire original footage into 3D format. He admits that it is indeed a long and painstaking process and would take almost 6 months before it is complete.

As a value-add the re-release will feature a brand new song with Raghava Lawerence and Lakshmi Rai. The comedy-horror that was memorable for casting Sarath Kumar in a bold role will be delivered in Tamil and Telugu under the 3D format.

As we reported earlier, Bollywood was bowled over by ‘Kaanchana’ and Sanjay Dutt had reportedly agreed to reprise Sarath Kumar’s role. It will be interesting to see if they will shoot the film in 3D at one go.

Anushka is currently awaiting release of Vikram's 'Thaandavam'. Following which, she has other films up her sleeve like 'Irandam Ulagam' with Arya, 'Alex Pandian' opposite Karthi and the Suriya starrer sequel to Singam.

The sexy belle is now being considered to pair up with Ajith for his 53rd film after 'Billa 2' and the untitled film directed by Vishnuvardhan.

Meanwhile, being the hotshot actor that Anushka is, other language offers are also knocking her doors. But, the actor wishes to keep all other films on hold, so that she can accommodate Ajith's 53rd that is to be directed by Siva of 'Siruthai' and 'Alex Pandian' fame.

Anushka intends to consolidate her strong position in the Tamil film industry by signing as many big hero flicks as possible.

Now isn't that sweet news for her numerous Tamil fans.

Earlier there were reports that Shruthi Haasan would be performing for an item number in the Ram Charan Teja starrer 'Naayak' directed by V.V Vinayak and co-starring Kajal Aggarwal and Amala Paul in the lead.

Shruti rubbished these as baseless rumors and said that she has no such intentions of becoming an item girl any soon.

The hot-sexy damsel who recently received accolades for her roles in the Dhanush starrer '3' and 'Gabbar Singh' with Power Star Pawan Kalyan is currently busy with a Hindi film helmed by choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva.

This yet to be titled Hindi film is a remake of  Prabhu Deva's 2005 Telugu hit 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' and would launch producer Kumar Taurani's son Girish Kumar as the hero with Shruti Haasan, Randhir Kapoor, Sonu Sood and Vinod Khanna forming the rest of the cast.

Well, it’s not the first time he will be doing it as we’ve seen the youthful Yuvan Shankar Raja make an appearance in his own songs earlier too.

Yuvan first appeared in the film 'Punnagai Poove' singing along the peppy "En Kadhal"; he then graced the screen in the opening minutes of 'Saroja' with "Cheeky Cheeky" and was recently featured during the end credits of 'Billa 2' for the track "Gangster".

Now our sources tell us that director Suseenthiran has convinced the young music director to appear in a music video for a song from ‘Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer’. We hear that this is the only portion remaining in the production and it will be completed this week.

The audio of the film would have six fantastic songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja and is proposed to be launched on October 12th, 2012 at Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai. The album would only have four of the six tracks released prior to the film as the director feels that the lyrics of the other two songs would give out the plot details.

Suseenthiran, this time around is certain that he has a winner in his hands with ‘Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer’ starring newcomer Santhosh and Manisha Yadav who was seen in Vazhakku Enn 18/9.

we hope the audience also feels the same after watching the movie.

Controversial godman Nithyananda who has constantly been in the news for all the wrong reasons has reportedly hired a Bollywood PR expert to mend his image in the public eye.

The much hyped PR person has been supposedly recommended by the godman’s VVIP followers with credentials of working with top ranked Bollywood stars like Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra.

Dale Bhagwagar, a hot-shot PR expert recently confirmed of his association with Nithyananda and revealed that he will be his official spokesperson. It is the same Bhagwagar who handled Public Relations for Shilpa Shetty during her highly publicized stint on the UK Reality TV show 'Big Brother'.

There are speculations that the self-styled godman has shown interest in participating in India’s biggest reality show 'Bigg Boss' that earlier featured the likes of Rakhi Sawant and Sunny Leone.

Is the 'Godman' now interested to become a 'Showman'?

Indian cinema’s evergreen 'Dream Girl' Hema Malini received a tremendous honor from the Norwegian government when they released a stamp in praise of her contribution to Indian cinema.

The distinction was bestowed upon the actor during the 10th Annual Bollywood festival in Norway that was held recently.

Hema Malini who was last seen in Tamil appearing in Kamal Hassan’s ‘Hey Ram’ was present at the event along with her daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol.

The actor who also served as a Rajya Sabha MP with the BJP, quipped during the felicitation that it came as a total surprise and she didn’t have the age to jump up and express her feelings on receiving such an esteemed recognition.

Samantha seems to be on a roll since her comeback from illness.

There are reports suggesting that Samantha has signed Suriya’s upcoming film to be directed by Lingusamy and now we are hearing from our sources that she is also being roped in for director Vikram Kumar’s next outing ever since his successful ‘Yaavarum Nalam (2009)' and 'Ishq (2012)’.

This film in discussion will be very special in the sense that it will feature three generations of the Akkineni family – the legendary Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna and his son Naga Chaitanya. We hear that the movie is going to be called ‘Thrayam’ and will be a Telugu-Tamil bilingual.

The director is reportedly hunting for the second heroine and the shooting will commence on December'12 with its release planned for August, 2013.

Post the success of 'Sundarapandian' and with the imminent release of Kumki, Lakshmi Menon is the new darling in town. She has been noted for her acting skills as well as for being tall and homely.

People who saw 'Sundarapandian' must have surely noted the little scar on the actor's left cheek. Lakshmi reasons a childhood injury as a cause for that scar and ruled out any sort of plastic surgery to remove that mark.

Lakshmi Menon is also a good singer and wishes to follow her fellow actor from Kerala Mamta Mohandass by getting into playback singing.

For those who are asking whether Lakshmi would do glamorous roles in the coming future, it is an emphatic 'NO!' from the actor, who wishes to maintain her homely image earned thus far.

Taapsee has been linked up with some young actors in the recent past and her latest link-up seems to be with the hunky and handsome Arya with whom she is working in the yet to be titled Ajith starrer directed by Vishnuvardhan.

The debonaire actor brushed these reports away as baseless rumors stating that it has only been a few days since she started shooting with Arya and she has barely interacted him.

Taapsee mentioned that she is happy being single and is looking forward to her upcoming releases and her Bollywood debut with 'Chashme Baddoor' co-starring Siddharth and Ali Zafar.

Expressing happiness for her contemporaries like Tamannah Bhatia, Ileana D'Cruz and Kajal Aggarwal being well received in Bollywood, Taapsee hopes to do well too.

While Thala Ajith is currently busy with his yet to be titled film with Vishnuvardhan, talks are already buzzing about his next film with 'Siruthai' fame Siva, who is supposedly busy giving finishing touches to his script for the actor.

There were rumors that Ajith had asked Siva to rework on the script but the director asserts that he didn't get any any such information regarding the script from the star.

Ajith is reported to have a fresh role in this film that is expected to be a mass emotional entertainer. Siva believes that he can do wonders with a superstar like Ajith with him.

If everything is in places, the project would start rolling in December with Anushka Shetty being expected to join in as the female lead opposite Ajith for the first time in their illustrious careers.

Now, this project sure promises entertainment unlimited.

Jiiva is awaiting release of his next film 'Neethaane En Ponvasantham' directed by Gautham Menon and is currently working with Ahmed for 'Endrendrum Punnagai'co-starring Trisha in the lead.

Actor Trisha, the gorgeous looking belle is a year elder to Jiiva and this age difference hasn't come in the way of their on-screen chemistry which is expected to be crackling.

Trisha had earlier paired up with STR, another younger co-star in 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa' that was lauded for their realistic and intensive romantic scenes in the film.

Hope this Jiiva starrer will also have the same romantic vibes as 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa'.

Meanwhile, the young actor who just had an ambitious release in the form of Mugamoodi wishes to take off to Europe for a brief week-long vacation with his wife and son. Once returned and rejuvenated, Jiiva intends to sign more projects while others like David and Yaan are in various stages of production.

Telugu movies are slowly gaining prominence in Tamil Nadu with films like the Mahesh Babu starrer 'Dookudu' and Power Star Pawan Kalyan's 'Gabbar Singh' raking in the moolah. S.S Rajamouli's Eega, the Telugu original of 'Naan Ee' and Allu Arjun's 'Julayi' that had a splendid run in Tamil Nadu are another such winners.

Following the above mentioned movies, there is a fair bit of hype for the Raghavendra Lawrence directed 'Rebel' starring Rebel star Prabhas' opposite Deeksha Seth and the very popular Tamannah in the lead.

The theatrical rights of this movie in Tamil Nadu has been sold for a record breaking 33 Lakhs while the actor's previous film was sold just for 11 lakhs.

Although the presence of the ever beautiful Tamannah and Lawrence's direction has the given the required push for such rates, it also proves the growing market for Telugu films in the state.

Kajal Aggarwal is firmly on her way to superstardom in the Tamil industry with happening films opposite superstars like Vijay, Suriya and Karthi. She has also eyed success in Bollywood but doesn't rule out balancing movies in all languages.

Kajal also shared of her dreams about a future husband who according to her must be a very pleasing man who doesn't lose his temper at all. He need not be a handsome guy but should definitely be tall as Kajal herself is pretty tall.

Now all the tall men out there do try your charms on the beautiful Kajal.

Whenever there is a two heroine subject coming up, people sharpen their ears and wait to hear about catfights. But Nayantara and Taapsee, who are acting together in Vishnuvardhan’s project, have no intention in indulging themselves in a petty wars of words.

On the contrary, we hear that they both bond like long-lost friends reunited.

Recently Taapsee expressed that Nayantara, who is also the assistant director of the film, made her feel very comfortable on the sets.

Ajith, Nayantara and Arya have prior experience of working under Vishnuvardhan, but for Taapsee this is her first film under him. This is where Nayantara is said to have played her role of ‘comforting’ Taapsee.


On the other hand, a major portion of the film is said to have been completed. The team was recently spotted shooting in OMR, Ambattur and many other spots in Chennai.

Actor Madhavan has wrapped all his projects and has taken up golfing in a big way. He is on a break from shooting for films and is currently in Chicago for an intense physiotherapy to take care of an irksome knee problem that he has been suffering.

Actor Arya, Maddy's co - star in Lingusamy's 'Vettai' advised and even forced him to work out with him and improve his fitness levels. Although initially, there were complains, he later decided to listen to Arya.

The actor recently took it to Twitter and shared a photo of himself with a new haircut. Most of his fans have been blown away by how great he is looking now after having lost oodles of weight.

Maddy's efforts have been finally paid off and is reportedly looking like a million bucks looking better and younger than before. He was pleased with the great feedback he has received from fans and said he has been trying hard to shape up and is happy with the results.

Now we can't wait for him to return to the big screen!

We hear reports that hottie Tamannah has impressed Bollywood filmmakers with her talent even as she’s just filming for her debut film ‘Himmatwala’ with Ajay Devgn.

Tamannah has been reportedly offered a role opposite Akshay Kumar in his next outing that is going to be the official remake of the Tamil super hit ‘Ramana’ directed by A.R. Murugadoss.

Sources tell us that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has bagged the rights of the film and reputed producer Vipul Shah will be backing the venture.

Earlier there were rumors that Jayam Raja was picked to direct the film but that news is yet to be authenticated.

Monal Gajjar, the young starlet who is making her debut in Tamil cinema with ‘Vaanavarayan Vallavarayan’ recently collapsed on the sets in Trivandrum.

The actor who is now enjoying the success of her Telugu hit ‘Suddigadu’, supposedly suffered from indigestion that led to this unfortunate situation that stalled the shooting.

The good news is that Monal is now out of danger and will be back in action at the earliest possible.

‘Vaanavarayan Vallavarayan’ stars Krishna of ‘Kazhugu’ fame along with Ma Ka Pa Anand. This film also marks the return of the legendary Sowcar Janaki after a hiatus of almost 15 years.

The film is directed by Rajmohan who debuted with ‘Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puravum’.

Jiiva and Trisha are getting together for the first time in their career for 'Endrendrum Punnagai' directed by Ahmed of 'Vaamanan' fame.

'Endrendrum Punnagai' is touted to be a romantic comedy also starring Vinay Rai in a supporting role.

Model turned actor Lisa Haydon was earlier roped in to play a major role in the film. But she had opted out of the film suddenly citing date issues.

Now we hear that Andrea has been roped in to replace Lisa.

Harris Jayaraj is composing music for the film and R Madhi will be behind the lens. The shoot for the film has been scheduled to kick off on September 17th at Binny Mills, Chennai.

Singam 2 to be directed by Hari with Suriya in the lead is likely to have another top heroine, other than Anushka and Hansika.

It seems Hari is trying to rope in either Shriya or Nayanthara for an item number in the film. Devi Sri Prasad has come up with a rocking song, we hear. An official confirmation is expected from the makers’ side.

The film will hit the floors on September 26th and the director has brought on board all the key actors from the original. Santhanam too has been roped in and it is expected to be a laugh riot with him and Vivek sharing the screen space.

After the release of Barfi, Ileana has made a huge mark in Bollywood and is now eyeing Mumbai for a possible house so that she can settle there for good.

The hot looking actor is now being flooded with new movie offers and and is causing the actor to make plans about moving in with parents to Mumbai, since she is from Goa and her parents live there nearby.

As is known, Ileana is a huge name in the Telugu film industry with continuous hits including the recent 'Julayi' and 'Nanban' in Tamil.

Now, would the actor say goodbye to the South and chase glory in the Hindi industry like her predecessors?

Ileana's fans in the South would be worried a lot following this Mumbai move, if made by the actor.

The much talked about Priyamani starrer 'Charulatha' graces cinemas this week spanning nearly 200 screens across Tamil Nadu and close to 1000 screens around the world.

As a mark of genuineness, the filmmakers have revealed that this movie is indeed an adaptation of the Thai cult horror film 'Alone' for which they have legally acquired the remake rights.

It is quite a refreshing sign when filmmakers duly acknowledge their source of inspiration and give it the mention and credit that it deserves.

‘Alone’ is the tale of a deceased siamese twin returning to haunt her surviving sibling.
