A couple of months back there was much ado about Ajith’s growing beard, and the cine journos in Kollywood were going wild spinning yarns of stories about the bearded actor.

Then news was out that the reason behind Ajith sporting the beard was for a new look in his upcoming film ‘Aegan’. We have online channels also flashing certain pictures of the actor cocooned in woolen suits wielding a gun. Real cool pics. This is one hero who looks great with any look or costume that he dons.

Recently, Ajith was spotted with the lightest of stubble and glasses, and looked really ….oomph. Sources suggest that this is another look that the actor will sport for the film. Sources also suggest that the bearded look that Ajith doned for the film were for the flashback scenes.

Ajith will soon be seen together with the heroine Nayantara of the film ‘Aegan’, for the songs shoot.

The director of this film dance choreographer Raju Sundaram has promised to give the audience a great entertainer. Suhasini Manirathnam plays pivotal role and Navdeep plays Ajith’s half-brother in this film.

This film so far has made the right kind of hype, something which has surely raised the curiosity of the movie goers.

Director Simbu Devan is optimistic that ‘Arai En 305il Kadavul’ will become a big hit. Having established his credential as a director who can handle humor with ease in ‘Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi’, Simbu Devan is keen to repeat the magic in his next.

“It is again a hilarious entertainer starring comedians Santhanam and Kanja Karuppu in the lead roles. They are talented actors who handle their role well. Prakash Raj plays Lord Narayana, while Jyothirmayi and Madhumitha play the heroines”.

“A spontaneous and articulate actor, Prakash worked round-the-clock in our movie. He improvised the role and added sheen to his character”.

Simbu Devan further adds that the highlight of the movie is a song shot in grand locations wherein the actors appear in astronaut’s costume. Vidyasagar’s music is another major highlight.

Produced by Shankar’s ‘S’ Films, the movie will be released this summer.

Joining the long list of old titles like ‘Ayirathil Oruvan’, ‘Nam Nadu’ it is now the turn of Sivaji classic ‘Deivamagan’. Recycling the old Tamil titles has become a fashion statement in Kollywood today.

Interestingly ‘Deivamagan’, featured Sivaji Ganesan in triple roles. Produced by Box Office Company, the movie features a debutant Dev in the lead role. Meera Jasmine plays the heroine.

Directed by Vettri, Deivamagan will go to floors soon. According to Vettri, “it is no remake of the Sivaji classic. It has a gripping storyline sure to entertain masses. Audience love to watch commercial entertainers laced with entertainment. ‘Deivamagan’ would be one such venture which would appease masses”.

Actor Prasanna has emerged the blue eyed boy of Kollywood. The young actor has had three successful films this year, at a time when other movies are failing to pass the muster at the box-office.

Prasanna’s ‘Sadhu MirandaaÂ’, directed by Siddique, Mysskin’s ‘AnjatheyÂ’ and ‘Kannum KannumÂ’ received positive reviews and managed a good collection.

A happy Prasanna says,” I am really fortunate to begin the year in a fantastic way. Three hits in three months is no mean task. I thank my fans, producers and directors. Hopefully my next ‘Achchamundu AchchamunduÂ’ goes on to become a hit. ‘Sadhu MirandaaÂ’ proved that I can handle action roles with ease. ‘AnjatheyÂ’ was different from my earlier films as I had tried my hands successfully at playing an anti-hero’s role. ‘Kannum KannumÂ’ is an emotional pot-boiler where I won rave reviews for playing a matured role”.

Everyone knows that Anuya makes her debut in ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’, starring Jeeva, and produced by Vikatan Talkies. Few would have known that she was selected through internet. Anuya Bhagvath, who has finished her course in acting in Pune Film Institute, has so far acted in many tele films. She has also acted in renowned filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s film.

Anuya, who is learning Tamil, has seen Jeeva’s films after getting booked in the film as his pair. She is quite impressed with Jeeva’s acting skills. “He seems to have got the Gold Medal even without studying in Film Institute”, was her complement to the hero of her first Tamil film. It is worth to note here that she has got Gold Medal in Film Institute.

Though she debuts as heroine, she wants to do varied roles including villain and comedian, as she wants to make lasting impression in many roles. She also wants to learn a lot on various genres of filmmaking including technical skills.

There were many producers, who gave advance to the successful combination of Dhanush and Vettri Maran after the stupendous success of ‘Polladhavan’. Dhanush and Vettri, who were finding it tough to decide about their producer, have now decided to do another film for Five Stars, who produced ‘Polladhavan’.

Raja, the producer of ‘Rameswaram’, was one among the producers who gave advance money to Dhanush and Vettri. Now that they have decided their producer, they have started repaying the advance. It is learnt that they have started the process with Raja to whom they have repaid the amount promptly.

The film by the duo is expected to be started by June. It is said that Dhanush will come to Vettri’s project after finishing his project with director Suraj, who gave a hit movie ‘Marudhamalai’ starring Arjun last year.
