'Jilla' Starts Rolling from May 13th

During the shoot of 'Velayudham', it was Ilayathalapathy Vijay's parting gift to the associate directors that he'd enact his script. And thus was conceived 'Jilla' by director Nesan. The film is based in the temple town Madurai and we hear that most part of the film is to be shot in a majestic set that has been erected to resemble a traditional south Indian house. The story is family based, as we are informed, but the team, however, decides to draw a line there, keeping the rest of the outlook on the movie a secret. The team had a photoshoot, which was kept under wraps, in a leading studio in Chennai, with the lead pair - Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal - posing for the camera. Having had a satisfying outcome, the team has decided to go on the floors from May 13th, in Madurai, with most of the cast crew being canned, including Kajal and Mohanlal. Vijay, however, will join them only later, by June 3rd, when they would have shifted to Chennai screen set up, after about half a month of shooting in the temple town. Meanwhile, taking a sneak peek into the film, we also managed to find out that Vijay's screen name is proposed to be Shakthi. The film is produced by RB Chowdary and music for 'Jilla' is scored by Imman. The cast crew also includes Soori, Thambi Ramaiah, Nivedita Thomas and Mahat. The film is expected to shoot at a rapid pace.

Vishwaroopam 2

The first part was a phenomenal success, with the movie creating waves even now. Everyone was excited to know that a sequel was to be released, for 'Vishwaroopam'. On constant updates, it has been reported that the film is gearing up very quickly. The proof of the pudding is here - 'Vishwaroopam 2' will hit the screens on August 15th, this year, across 3000 theatres, all around the globe! Seems like we don't have to wait too long. The news was declared by one of the executive producers of the movie, VTV Ganesh. He also said that the film has been created in a budget of Rs. 50 crores, as a portion of the film was already shot during the canning of the first part.

It was rather quizzical as to why the portions where Andrea appears, in the first part, did not seem to have high importance. The team says that this doubt will be clarified in the sequel, 'Vishwaroopam 2', which will explore the depth of her character. The movie is set on the backdrop of India, unlike 'Vishwaroopam' that predominantly focused on the terrains of Afghanistan.

Nayan Dances for Kuththu Song in 'Ethir Neechal'

'Sathiyama Nee Enaku Thevaiyillai' is how the song penned down by director Durai Senthil for his upcoming flick 'Ethir Neechal' opens. Nayanthara, who usually does not accept offers to do special songs, except like 'Balleilaka' from 'Sivaji', had given a nod to perform in this kuththu song from the film that stars Siva Karthiyan, Priya Anand and Nandita in the lead.

The director, a former associate of stalwart directors Vetri Maaran and Balu Mahindra, was quizzed about the song, to which he replied "The song was excellently composed by Anirudh. We designed a set to resemble a highway motel, in Nagercoil. In the night-like settings, the song was shot over a three-day span." But how did the glam doll nod to do this special performance? It was none other than the producer of the movie, Dhanush, who convinced her to do the number! Incidentally, Dhanush also plays a cameo in the film.

Director AR Murugadoss recently gave the mega hit movie "Thuppaki" with Ilayathalapathy Vijay. This film is now being made in Hindi by AR Murugadoss himself while the lead role are Akshay Kumar andSonakshi Sinha. Sources say that this film will take a minimum of on year to be completed.

Sources also say that this action flick director might have plans of making a romantic movie sometime in the future too. This film is to have newcomers in the lead roles, which is unlikely for this director as he is someone who makes films with top heroes only. AR Murugadoss recently revealed that his topmost dream was to make a film with the legendary Kamal Hassan and we hope his dreams come true, because honestly, a film made by these two will be a dream come true for us too!

"Dam 999" banned in Tamil Nadu

"Dam 999" is a film that is based on the controversy between the State of Tamilnadu and Kerala over the Mullai Periyar dam. The state fears that the release of such a film may cause political unrest in Tamilnadu.

The film waas supposed to be released on the 25th of November 2011 but was being postponed due to unavoidable reasons. The Tamil Nadu government gave permission for the screening a day ago, but changed their minds again today. Sohan Roy, the director and producer of "Dam 999" filed a complaint saying that the film was released everywhere but in Tamilnadu, so the court should allow for release here too. The court has not taken that into heed as they say that an entire state's well being is more important to them than an individual's wish.

Tamil "Vishwaroopam" in Hyderabad!

Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroopam" has been opted out of release in Tamil Nadu due to court orders. Kollywood, the home of the legendary Kamal Haasan is unlucky enough to miss this revolutionary film of his.



A small ounce of comfort for the Tamil speaking audience would be that the Tamil version of "Vishwaroopam" did get released today! Not in Kollywood though, far away in the city of Hyderabad Prasad Theater in Hyderabad has taken up the bold move of releasing the Tamil version in a state which isn't Tamil Nadu. We hope that such a move might in turn encourage the court to allow the release here too.
