Official confirmation is awaited on that one. There is also a talk about a remake of Murugadoss's Vijaykanth starrer, Ramana with SRK producing and starring in it. It is also being reported that Aamir is thinking of remaking 7aum Arivu. Clearly Bollywood is very taken with Murugadoss after the colossal success of Ghajini.

VIJAY TURNS TO CAMERA MAN!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay shot a scene for his AR Murgadoss directed Thuppakki in the crowded streets of Mumbai ! Ace cameraman Santosh Sivan was supervising the camera crew for a particular important candid crowd scene. Taking a cue, Vijay went behind the camera and took an instant shot. Later Santosh commented to the unit that it was “perfect shot in sync with the required scene.” On Sunday in crowded Linking Road Bandra, Vijay acted and operated the camera himself. A tricky crowd scene had to be taken quickly while he was enacting a scene, with the unaware public. Our Ilayathalapathy rose to the occasion and in a flash shot the scene while Santosh sir was checking the lights in the background. There was only one take as Vijay sir was spotted by the public  

THUPPAKI EXCLUSIVE UPDATE

Thuppaki is progressing in a record breaking speed, yes the ace director AR Murugadoss and award winning cinematographer Santhosh sivan working on a record speed in order to complete the film before June.

This fast pace approach is for "vijay" since he is keen to join Gowtham menon's "Yohan" by June. Till now the team completes a 45days successful shoot and the crew is very much happy with the output.

The entire crew is leaving to Hong Kong tomorrow for a 10days shoot, since AR Murugadoss completed the shoot of 7aam arivu in 85days and Ghajini in 60 days, he can easily pull this one says the sources, More over Santhosh sivan is very fast which makes the director a happy man.

As of now Thuppaki is slated for Deepavali release.

KAJAL AGARWAL IS HAPPY!

Kajal Agarwal is a happy girl these days. She has her hands full.The star's career graph is on an upswing at the moment. In Kollywood, she is working on A R Murugadoss, which has Vijay in the lead and K V Anand's Matran.

Her back-to-back schedules include Special Chabbis opposite Akshay Kumar in Hindi and two projects - one each opposite Ram Charan Tej and Junior NTR in Telugu. 

Kajal Agarwal Said to media that, 'I'm excited about working with Vijay. I'm equally thrilled about working with two fantastic directors Anand and Murugadoss. The other motivating factor is that I get to play two different roles. That's quite a challenge.' 

THE MAGIC OF ASKA LASKA


One of the toughest decisions a commercial director faces is to decide where to place his songs in the structured screenplay. They have to be positioned at correct intervals to give the much needed break and also ensure that they do not hamper the narration of the movie. There are umpteen examples where during the audio launch the song is a super hit but when we get to see the actual picturization, the enthusiasm dampens. Or where the song itself is an average melody but the visuals are so stunning that it is set on repeat in our playlists.
The mania for a song that clinches the audience’s interest and delays their decision to step outside for a smoke started with Manmadha Rasa and Appadi Podu. Manmadha Rasa had a pencil framed Dhanush and Chaya Singh gyrating aggressively to suit the beats of the number. The song was so catchy that many stayed through the otherwise slow narration to watch them thump their feet in the big screen. It worked wonders for the movie’s collections.
Illayathalapathy has been a dancer’s delight. His grace and seemingly casual dance performance has caused quite a stir in many a movie. From Allthota Boopathy to Appadi Podu, from Nee Illai Naan Illai to Chillax, from Kumbida Ponna Theivam to Aska Laska, he has mesmerized theater goers with his dance prowess.
Shankar is famous for erecting larger than life sets for his songs. His trademark structures and graffiti keeps us spell bound. With KV Anand’s Midas touch Sahana Saral Thoovutho was a visual extravaganza. Rendakka in Anniyan was an artist’s delight. So when this task master had just a couple of songs to weave his magic in Nanban, his creativity went to work overtime.
The beauty of Aska Laska lies in the ingenuity with which it is picturized. Although he tries to stuff a single song with his signature style, he doesn’t compromise on the quality. The lyrics support the change in background. From beds of tulips to our village vayal velli, he transports us effortlessly. If the song itself is a good melody, the visuals lift it further and make it a slogan your murmur when you step out of the halls.
Shankar is not a man who is reluctant to experiment. So he takes a step further and adds another song towards the end of the movie. Although this was missing in the original (3 Idiots), he comes out with flying colors. The song is fast, beat rhythmic, Illena’s belly dancing becomes a treat to watch and the audiences don’t complain.
This year is yet to see another high in terms of audio but the magic of Kolaveri di will not be put to rest until we see the visuals on screen. It can make or break another record.
If the music director has to sweat to string together a tune, the choreographers swelter to get the actors to gracefully tap their feet. The art directors come up with appropriate sets and the cinematographer has to capture all of this tastefully. Although the song itself is the brain child of the director, there is scope for creative enhancement in each of their hands. The team has to work synchronously for the audience can tell whether it would be a visual treat or a chance to get out and get some fresh air.
If they can make them vacillate in this decision even for a second, then the magicians have been triumphant.

AJMAL IN VIJAY'S STORY

Director Rudhran, who is a former associate of Vikram Kumar of 'Yavarum Nalam' fame, has started a film titled 'Vetri Selvan', with Ajmal in the lead. He says he actually penned the story having Vijay in the mind.

"However, due to some reasons, Vijay is not part of the movie. The film is about three individuals (Ajmal, Mano and Sherrif) who bring about a change in the society. How they are able to make it is the crux of the story," Rudhran says.

Ramesh Kumar, who made a big mark with 'Oomai Vizhigal', is the cinematographer of the movie, the director says and adds: "Radhika Apte plays the heroine. Music is by Mani Sharma and lyrics by Madhan Karky."

Stating that he initially named the movie 'Ranam', Rudhran says he then changed it to 'Sathyavan'. "However, I felt the need to give a positive title to the film and then I changed it as Vetri Selvan, a name symbolizing victory."
