Daughter Makes ARR Proud


Despite being world famous, theirs is one of the most unassuming families. And it is yet another Hosanna moment for the Mozart of Madras, for this is a first event of its kind in his family. Music director AR Rahman's daughter has come out in flying colours in her class 12 examinations. The results were just announced and it turns out that the musical genius' eldest daughter Khatija has secured 94% in her high school exam. In an official release, he praised the Lord and declared the happy news and also expressed his delight over his daughter's results.



ARR is busy with a lot of composition commitments across languages and is currently awaiting, like all his fans, the release of his next album, 'Mariyaan'; the film is directed by Bharat Bala and stars Dhanush in the lead. The single track that released from the movie, 'Nenje Ezhu' is a chart buster and a crowd favourite.

The Yuvan-ARR bond has been growing stronger with each passing day of late. YSR sung for AR Rahman in Bharat Bala's Dhanush project, 'Mariyaan'. And ARR is to attend the music launch of Yuvan's 100th, 'Biriyani'. Now the latest is that the two will be performing on stage for 7th Vijay Awards. The channel's official Tweet reads "Oooh!!! This is just in: ARR and Yuvan to perform together on stage at Vijay Awards May 11th event."



The event will also have the 'Mariyaan' team attending it. The awards function is expected to be a grand event to be held on May 11th.

Nayan - Arya to Tie the Knot


Hot and happening from the sets of 'Raja Rani', we have some juicy input. If the rumour is to be believed then it is a sensation for, south Indian damsel Nayanthara and Kollywood heartthrob Arya are tying the knot! We hear that the love sparked between the on screen rage on the sets of 'Raja Rani'. They have left the audience in awe from their earlier film together, 'Boss Engira Baskaran'. Now they are also sharing the screen for Vishnuvardhan's Ajith project.

Meanwhile, we are given to believe that the marriage news may be hoax and purely a marketing gimmick, owing to the activity session to be conducted by the 'Raja Rani' tomorrow. However, the breeze is making a buzz nonetheless.

'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.

Vijay awards will be featuring their 7th edition this year and it just gets bigger and bigger. Already a star studded event, the ceremony will be mad much grandeur by none other than King Khan himself. The actor who is currently filming "Chennai Express" was approached by Vijay TV to felicitate the function and he seems to have given the nod readily. Chennai express is a love story and has some Tamil celebrities playing parts in it. The award function from Vijay TV is quite creating a sensation every year with both quality wise and presentation as well. The preparations are in full swing and the event is set to take place in Chennai with an official word to be out pretty soon.

Ajith's new fan on the block



Still basking on the success of Kumki is homely girl "Lakshmi Menon". Both her previous films, Sundarapandiyan and Kumki were huge hits and the actress had a meaty role in both the films. She is currently paired up with Sasikumar again for the upcoming Kutipuli. Her palpably innocent looks has garnered the youngsters pretty well indeed and the actress is cloud 9 considering her good time. Recently during an interaction with the media, she revealed that her favorite stars in Kollywood are Suriya and Ajith. She further quipped that, if offered a role with Ajith as the hero, she would promptly accept the offer without demanding any salary. Now that's something only for our Thala, so any producers and directors listening to this?

Maniratnam to sign up Gautam Karthik again ?


Maniratnam's craze for experimentation is a lesson to most of the budding directors; he still continues to do that. Though his recent flick Kadal might have been an average grosser, there is a talk in Kollywood that the ace director has already zeroed in some important aspects for his next flick.


Though initially there were rounds of whispers that Mani is to direct a Hindi film, the latest buzz is that it will be a Tamil film indeed. Maniratnam is known for repeating his lead actors in quite a number of films, Arvind swamy, Madhavan and now this time it seems Karthik's son Gautam Karthik will be back in Mani's film. An official announcement with the rest of the plans is yet be out from Mani's camp.
