Shreya’s ‘Silambattam’

We all have 24 hours for a day but looking at the number of films Shreya is acting in, looks like 48 hours for a day is not enough. In Tamil, she has 'Kandasamy,' 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' and a new film with Ajith. She has two films in Telugu. Her Hindi films include 'Ek' with Bobby Deol, 'Mission Istanbul' with Abhishek Bachchan. There's also the Hollywood film and a song with Vadivelu. Shreya's catalog does not end here. For many months Simbu's 'Silambattam' has been gathering grime and the project is being re-energized again. Saravanan turns director with this film. There was great gossip earlier about whether Simbu would be acting in this film. Now it has been deep-rooted that he is. They have approached Shreya to do the heroine role and it seems as soon as she heard that her quote was satisfying, she immediately okayed without even hearing the story. Simbu has first complete 'Kaalai' and then 'Kettavan.' It would be hardly amazing if Shreya has by then become a Hollywood dream girl! Shreya in a Hollywood film! Going to Hollywood is the vital aim of Tamil film personalities. When people were wonder if it would be Kamalhasan, Maniratnam or Shankar who would lead the list, Shreya has overtaken them! Ashok Amritaraj is a Tamilian who is a big producer in Hollywood. He is producing a film titled 'The Other End of the Line.' Directed by James Dodson, the film stars Jesse Metcalfe. When traveling together on a flight, Ashok has narrated the story to Shreya. A Mumbai call centre girl is in contact with Jesse in the US. The calls turn into love and the call centre girl flies to the US to meet Jesse. Shriya liked the story and immediately gave her call sheet to act as the call centre girl. This unexpected meeting on a flight has landed Shreya a role in Hollywood! Actually Ashok Amritraj had approached Priyanka Chopra for the role but she could not accept it as she had no free dates. That turned lucky for Shreya! One can say Shreya has a lucky mole!

Vishal on Nayantara, Simbu, Love and more

Simbu and Nayantara's 'love affair' during the filming of 'Vallavan' was well known and their onscreen chemistry fueled the fire. And then the 'break-up' happened leading to a plethora of speculation. Both tended to their businesses (filmmaking) and the fire seemed to have died down. But then there was a faint semblance of smoke leading to the thought that 'there can be no smoke without fire'. Both sitting next to each other in a protest meeting on the Cauvery issue, with countenances that revealed an untold story. They appeared as though there were vacant seats next to them. Their supposed 'patch-up' was the icing on the cake. And what's more…. news of Vishal and Trisha being instrumental for the patch up became top news. The man who seems to be in the headlines rather constantly for 'associations' with women, Simbu, denied emphatically about a 'patch-up' terming the conversation as a casual chat. If he had left it at that, things might have died down. But then our-man-flint has literally fed the press with delicious content by saying that 'Nayantara is in love with another actor'. Many started wondering if Simbu had been appointed Naynatara's spokesman. Speculations started with all permutations and combinations in mind. Since Vishal and Trisha were present during the supposed 'patch-up', grapevine worked over-time with two possibilities. One is that 'new lovers' Vishal and Trisha wanted to get Simbu and Trisha together. Another version was that the actor mentioned by Simbu was none other than Vishal.

Simbu as Billa

Silambarasan has expressed his admiration for Ajith on several occasions. His maiden directorial venture 'Vallavan' saw Silambarasan play a youth who admires Ajith.

Actor-Politician dad Sarath Kumar is all supportive of his daughter Varalakshmi's debut in Kollywood. Even though Sarath Kumar has given his daughter full freedom and believes that she is a mature and intelligent girl who can handle anything on the sets of Poda Podi with Silambarasan, he is still being a typical father and being a protective dad. If sources are to be believed, Sarath has talked to all his close friends in the industry, to watchout for his daughter and inform him immediately if, she is into any kind of problem.

A song shot in a grand and aesthetically appealing set which costs a fortune, with a bevy of beauties dancing along, has always been the cynosure of his father T. Rajendar's films, and it is also so now in his films. Simbu makes sure every film of his has a song with a grand set and eye-popping models.

Her choice of film however has raised a few eyebrows. The trouble-prone Simbu is now getting ready to launch yet another new film of his. He had been accepting quite a number of offers in recent past, but none of the films has hit the theatres.There was one which was almost complete, but he ended up creating some misunderstanding with the heroine and has now forced the producer to bring in a new one and is now reshooting more than 40% of the film again with the new heroine! This time, he has accepted the offer to star in a film named 'Poodaa Poodi'. It is in this film that Varalakshmi is going to make her debut in. the film's director had first approached Sharat Kumar to get his consent. He said that he had no objections if his daughter was willing. The title might not be the final one as its still not sure if they will use the title Thiru Pooda and Thirumathi Poodi. Another possible title is Mr Poda Mrs Podi.

Vishal and Nayantara's sizzling 'cuddly….cuddly' stills from the movie 'Sathyam' cried out loud about a 'hot relationship' happening. This prompted Vishal who is known for his clear way of speaking to come out and categorically deny any love affair with Nayantara. However he said, 'we meet up every week as with other people as well just as colleagues from any industry do'. He also added in a jocular vein that Nayantara would not act with him again especially because of the 'torture' he had subjected her to during filming. He had wanted her to reduce weight and get in shape for a song which she obliged and said it had done a world of good for the song sequence. But then the usually unambiguous Vishal has also added some fuel by saying that he is in love with an actress and found nothing wrong if an actor and an actress marry. He however did not name the actress. 'Do people consider it strange for a software engineer to marry another software engineer? Then why shouldn't an actor marry an actress?' he asks. He also denied 'arranging' the meeting between Simbu and Nayantara by saying that when the two were conversing, the lights came on because the party was over and that he along with his friends left the place.

Silambattam’: Dhina out Yuvan in

Yuvan Shankar Raja, the favorite music director of Silambarasan, has been roped in for the film 'Silambattam'. This has effectively puts Dhina, the original music composer of the film, out of the project. Dhina however, has no regrets, as the decision was taken by Silambarasan after consulting him. Though Simbu, who has a special taste for music, has high regards for Dhina's talents, he prefers Yuvan, as both of them work brilliantly as a team to bring out excellent stuff. So Simbu decided to go for Yuvan and he explained his feelings to Dhina, who gracefully accepted to step down. The decision is also viewed by some as a two-in-one strategy of Silambarasan. Since Yuvan does music for 'Kettavan', Silambarasan might have thought that the time spent for the composing could be useful for both films. The teaming up of the successful combo of Simbu and Yuvan has undoubtedly increased the expectations of 'Silambattam', which is growing on a steady pace.

Kaalai Movie Review

Cast : Silambarasan, Vedhika, Sangeetha, Nila Direction: Tarun Gopi Music: G V. Prakash Production: NIC Arts Chakravarthy You wouldn't expect a classic tale of movie making from a director – Tarun Gopi – whose previous official document include a hardcore commercial potboiler, Thimiru. Having said that, we did expect a racy entertainer with Simbu's return after a brief sabbatical creating enough and more hype. However, Kaalai, Tarun Gopi's second venture and first with Simbu is a classic case of too much in too little time. With too little scenes that substantiate the sense of logic, Tarun Gopi has royally squandered an opportunity. Less said the better about the story. Simbu shares his name with two other people - one villain and one cop-turned-baddie and the situations arising out of it promise enough curiosity for a while as soon as the movie opens. However, it eventually fizzles out when the movie takes a turn for better or for worse. Seema – Simbu's grandmother – slays five men, mind you when she was only ten, since they flouted her father's advices and distilled alcohol illegally in the village also involving in other shady activities. The villagers, for her noble act, consider her their head after her return from the prison and are peaceful under her reign. However, trouble crops up in the name of a police officer – Lal – whose ego is hurt when challenged by the fellow policeman's son that he can't find anything illicit in Simbu's village, ruled by the godmother Seema. Lal tries - but to no avail - to nail somebody from the village for any charges and ends being thrashed up the villagers. Predictably, he returns back with a vengeance and in the dirty war, burns Seema alive. Enough reason for Simbu to seek retribution for his loss. Simbu returns to Chennai, uses the tried and tested formula to woo Lal's daughter Vedhika, and after a couple of duets seize her as a hostage on revenge of his grand mom's death. With a script that has more holes than a fish net, it's evident that Simbu could just not help the ship from sinking. However, his mind-boggling stunt scenes and the dance sequences especially for songs 'Kutti Pisaase' and 'Kaalai Kaalai' are stupendously performed. Particularly, Kutti Pisaase might send his fans on a homesick trip to the good old days when Simbu sang and danced 'I am a little star'. Vedika's character is left to deal with a few duets in measly outfits in exotic locales with an almost innocent face. Alas, she vanishes from the movie abruptly even before its end. Santhanam – Simbu duo's comic act has lesser than desired results. Veteran Seema's grandmother-godmother act refuses to fade after she is brutally charred alive in the movie. Sangeetha plays Simbu's aunt and yes, her role is of utmost importance. If you must insist, here is how. It's only when she gets spanked by Lal that violence erupts uncontrollably in the village. Lal's villainy seems to be born with him and he is prominent with his viciousness in the movie that is also swarmed with many other such likes. R.D.Rajasekar's camera brings in unsullied frames of fresh locales during the duet scenes. G.V. Prakash stands out in two songs and scores an average for background music. Had Tarun Gopi worked on the script for a taut screenplay coupled with some interesting twists, Simbu's Kaalai would definitely have been a joy ride. Outcome: Action

Silambarasan on Kaalai

Good news for all Silambarasan fans- his latest offering Kaalai is all ready for release and will be censored tomorrow. The actor while speaking on the film said, "Kaalai has come out really well and is expected at pleasing all my fan's ambition. The film is a full fledged entertainer and is targeted at the masses. On the music department, G.V. Prakash's tracks have fulfilled my expectations and am besieged by the response it has been receiving. In fact the audio sales of the film is testimony to this. The background score is thumping and will lend the desired impact to the film. I am all pumped up about the film and am eagerly awaiting the audience's reaction. It was a enjoyable experience working with director Tarun Gopi. He has worked hard to bring out this feel." Pongal is sure to be a treat for fans of this actor who have been waiting for a movie of their little super star who didn't have a single release in 2007.

Kaalai-Head on at box-office

Silambarasan's next film is Kaalai. There are lots of expectations from this Pongal release. Directed by Tharun Gopi, this film has Vedhika as the female lead. After Vallavan, this is Simbu's first release. Simbu was in the news in 2007, less for his movies and more for other news. But the actor has managed to leave all the controversy behind. Kettavan may have been stalled for the time being, but the actor is all geared up for the release of Kaalai for which he is currently shooting in Australia. Following Kaalai Simbu, will play the lead in Silambattam in which he plays a priest, a character which is faraway from his usual onscreen roles. Mumbai girl, Sanaa Khan makes her debut in this film.

Kaalai is hot property!

Silambarasan after his stretch across TV channels is now back to doing what he does best, acting that is. The actor was wavering between the sets of Kaalai, Kettavan and Silambattam when fortunately Kettavan had to be postponed to make way for speedy completion of Kaalai. To everybody's surprise the film went as per schedule, thanks to the fast thinking director Tarun Gopi who managed time efficiently and is working towards a Pongal release without any hitches. This film which has Vedhika playing his leading lady and the music by G.V.Prakash is already topping the visual aid. Latest we hear is that the post production work is nearing completion while the last song that remained to be shot is being canned in Australia. They intend putting it all together in time and the trade is already rushing to catch up on this buzz. Sources say that Chennai, NSC area is being talk for about 2.5 - 3 crores, an amount that was last heard for Vallavan. Fans will finally get to see their dancing sensation on screen.

Sangeetha may pair with Simbu’s Kaalai!!!

The latest buzz doing rounds in the industry is that Sangeetha has been roped in to play the second heroine to Silambarasan for a movie titled Kaala. Sangeetha is acting with Madhavan in 'Evano Oruvan' and now it is heard that Sangeetha may pair with Simbu.She was considered a jinxed actress in Tamil industry a few years ago. But she turns things around with a splendid portrayal in director Bala's Pithamagan. She followed it up with a bold portrayal in Uyir. Now the actress has completed shooting for Evano Oruvan opposite Madhavan. In Tarun Gopi's 'Kaalai,' Simbu is supposed to have 2 heroines. After Trisha and Asin were considered, the choice fell on Genelia. Then she was also dropped and finally Vedika of 'Muni' fame was signed on. They have asked for Sangeetha's call sheet for the other heroine role. There is an old villi role in the film and they are trying to get Hindi film actress Rekha to do it. Like Perarasu, Mishkin and Cheran, Tarun Gopi is also turning poet. With Vairamuthu and Tamarai, Tarun Gopi is also writing lyrics. The music composer is Yuvan Shankar Raja. Besides playing the lead role, Silambarasan has penned lyrics for a song. If everyone turns lyricist, what happens to the poets by profession?

‘Silambattam’ director in look for a theatre

Silambattam' is directed by Saravanan starring Silambarasan in the lead role. The director is in search of a theatre to tell his story on screen. The story of the film has a theatre as one of its strong components. Saravanan, while writing the story had the Virumbakkam National theatre, which is located in the outskirts of Chennai in his mind. But before he could ask the owners of the hall Ilayathalapathy Vijay had purchased the hall and started constructing a shopping complex in that place. The director was in search of another theatre and finally he had finalized the theatre which is located in Vishakapattinam.

Kaalai Music Review

Kaalai's Silambarasan, Vedhika, Sangeetha, Vadivelu and Lal in the main roles. Nila has performed an item number. Tharun Gopi, who gave the super hit Thimiru, directs Kaalai. Cinematography is by R.D. Rajasekhar and editing by Antony. G.V. Prakash Kumar's music for Kaalai differs from all his earlier compositions. His effort to present intelligent pieces contributes to satisfaction while listening. 'Kaala Kaala' by Benny and Mamta Mohandas is a tuneful melody. That Mamta is a singer with a difference is proved in this composition. She adorns the song, highlighting the beautiful nuances, pausing suitably in places, thus giving Benny's vocal competence a chance to shine. 'Guthka Lakhidi' by Lucky Ali and Sunidhi Chauhan is basically a western tune created using folk type orchestration. Lucky Ali's bold voice creates a refreshing feeling. Sunidhi's voice is a perfect foil to Lucky Ali's and also displays her innate talent. 'Kutti Pisase' is a typical Kuthu song by Suchithra and Silambarasan. By singing this song so beautifully, Simbu displays yet another of his many talents. Suchithra's voice sparkles with its usual charm; throughout the song one can feel that they are singing in harmony and with excellent rapport. The next piece in the album 'Eppo Nee' is a chorus supplemented by Madhusri's honeyed voice. Without too many musical twists and turns, the song stands out because of Madhusri's brilliant rendering. The gentle background beat is the icing on the cake. 'Vanduttaanda Kaalai' is a rap number that is interesting, both for its rhythm and content. The song begins with just lyrics and gains tempo as it progresses. It is thoroughly charged with joyful feelings. The last song is 'Veeramulla', based on an earthy tune and sung by Paalakkaadu Sreeram, Manicka Vinayagam and Tharun Gopi. Selecting voices that vary in texture and modulations, the composer has added a significant dimension and weight to the song, so much so that its energy and essence are almost palpable.

Kaalai going places!

Simbu is eagerly awaiting his next release Kaalai, which is to style the screens for Pongal. Meanwhile, director Tarun Gopi, currently busy with the postproduction work, is pondering over where to shoot one last song that remains to be canned. Finally, Australia was chosen as an appropriate location for this fast-paced song and the team was ready to travel there. Unfortunately, denial of Visas, for some unknown reasons, exacerbates the situation. Amidst this, Silamabarasan had to travel to Malaysia for the star night organized by the Actors' Union to raise funds for the construction of a new building. This had Tarun Gopi eyeing Malaysia as an appropriate location for canning the song as Silamabarasan was already there and that it would hasten things up. Now, that's a director who thinks on his feet.

Asin pairs with Simbu?

Exit Lekha Washington, enter Asin: this is the latest news from the 'Kettavan' Unit! At the muhurat of his latest film 'Silambattam', Silambarasan said that he had made many changes in 'Kettavan'. He evaded the question when asked whether the heroine Lekha was shown the door. Reliable sources, however, reveal that Silambarasan has decided to remove Lekha and rope in Asin in 'Kettavan'. It is known to everyone that Silambarasan is planning to re-start the shooting of 'Kettavan' only after finishing 'Kaalai' and 'Silambaattam'. The original producers too have opted out of the project and it will be produced under the banner of V. Ravichandran's Oscar Films. When Oscar Ravichandran approached Vijaya T. Rajendhar for Simbu's call-sheet for a new film, it appears that T.R. told him to take over 'Kettavan' instead of launching a new film with Simbu in the lead. It is said that Ravichandran had even agreed to and returned the Rs.3 crores of money that the previous producer of 'Kettavan' had spent. Insiders disclose that Simbu's sudden change of mind towards the VJ turned actor Lekha is the main reason for all the aforesaid changes. Add to this Silambarasan's new found liking for Asin and you know what all the fuss is about. Feelers have been sent to Asin to persuade her to accept the offer. One might think that Silambarasan is acting too big for his own comfort. But he can afford to do so, given his current market value. He is one of the leading saleable and bankable stars in the industry and has been the distributors' darling for quite sometime now. It is said that his market value is next only to Vijay and Ajith. Business circles say that his Kaalai has fetched Rs. 18 crores. So, Silambarasan enjoys the 'luxury' of changing the heroine after shooting more than 30 per cent of the movie.

Simbu`s `Silambattam`

Simbu will not have a release in 2007. His last release was Vallavan, in November 2006 Diwali. Now he has accomplished the shoot of his Kaalai, which the trade is hoping will hit the screens for Pongal 2008. The boy has an opening and if he plays his cards well, he will become the fastest rising star among the young guns of Kollywood!

This Friday (December 7) Simbu is going to start his new film Silambattam, for the impressive banner Lakshmi Movie Makers (LMM) for whom it will be their 25th film. It is also going to be the executive debut of cameraman Saravanan, a buddy of Simbu.

Guess what role Simbu is in performance in the film? He is going to don the role of a Apaavi (innocent) 'Poojari' in a temple who due to definite state of affairs is forced to take law into his hand!

The shoot of the film will take place in the temple towns of Kumbakonam, Tiruvayur, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and towns like Vizag, Rajhamundhry, and Hyderabad in Andhra. The star cast will also have Santhanam, Ganja Karuppu, Karnas and music by Dheena.

And the most imperative aspect in a Simbu film is the heroine. He and director Saravanan are going to launch Sana Khan a new Mumbai girl.

Three Jeevas - Simbu - Lal

You might have seen one actor playing three different roles, but have you ever seen or even heard of three actors playing one character. No, and why? Because, logically speaking, that is impossible. So that's not happening. But something is being attempted in these lines. Well, as per the story, three characters, all with the same name, chase the other two.

Now, we don't know who is chasing whom and for what. Confusing enough to be a Manoj Night Shyamalan film, but the good news is that the idea doesn't belong to him or even to Hollywood. It is much closer home, Tarun Gopi. Readers may be aware that Tarun Gopi is currently busy directing the Simbu-starrer, Kaalai.

A few weeks back Behindwoods.com had reported of Vedika dancing in the middle of the road in broad daylight for the movie. If you thought that things couldn't get any different, then you are wrong. The entire script seems to be out of the ordinary. Three characters have the same name – Jeeva, being played by Simbu (Jeeva 1), Lal (Jeeva 2) and new-face Sunil (Jeeva 3). Simbu is the hero and Lal is, obviously, the villain, and it is still not clear as to how Sunil fits into the picture.

So, we are told, the story is about No.1, No.2 and No.3 being involved in a game of hide-and-seek. So, assuming that No.2 is after No.3 and No.3 is trying to get to No.1 in order to keep away from No.2. Knowing that, No.2 chases No.1 to stop him from getting to No.3. But No.1, being the hero, gets to No.3 and goes after No.2 to stop him from getting to No.3. So, can No.3 keep himself away from No.2 with the help of No.1 and can No.1 take No.2 to task for going after No.3 could be the story. Oh boy! this is quite confusing, than interesting, but Tarun Gopi has promised a razor sharp script which will move at a great pace. There is also reportedly a lot to watch out for in the pre-interval scenes.

And finally, a status report on Kaalai. Everything is on track with a schedule in Italy being planned for next month to shoot a song featuring Simbu and Vedhika.

Simbu offers heavy package to Shriya

According to the latest buzz, Simbu reportedly offered Shriya a whopping Rs 65 lakh to act opposite him in his next film titled Silambattam. In fact, Simbu had insisted the producers of the film to sign only Shriya at any cost. According to the gossip, Simbu had received an advance payment for the film a few months ago. But the film, which was postponed due to various circumstances. Reportedly, Simbu has instructed the producers not to pay the director and also told the producers to cut corners with regards to the payment of all the other artistes who are yet to be signed on for the film. This is being done to compensate for the payment being given to Shriya.

Remix in Silambaattam!

Remixes highlight today's trend in song symphony for films.

Now it is Simbu's turn to feature an oldiest set to new and popular instrumentation. Simbu's Manmadhan had one of the best remixes 'En Asai Maithiliye' lifted from his father Vijaya.T. Rajendar's hit.

Now Silambaattam has 'Nalamthaanaa' from the classic Sivaji film Thillana Mohanambal.

Asked about the storyline, Silambarasan, says, "I plays a youth called Jeeva. There are a couple of other characters called Jeeva in the movie. For all their wrong-doings, I land up in problem. How I beat them forms the core."
Asked why a big break after Vallavan, he says, '"Vallavan was the result of my hard work. It took over a year for me to complete 'Vallavan'. I wanted my next to be more striking and rich in content. Clearly I took my own time."
Simbu further put in, "Kettavan which has been temporarily halted will resume this March. I would be directing the movie. A song would be recorded for the world renowned OSO Studios in London. It would be shot featuring Namitha with 100 junior artistes. We are planning to use only Indian musical instruments for recording the song"
"Silambatttam is ready to go to floors. Directed by cinematographer Saravanan, Silambattam is produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers. It is likely that Shreya may play my heroine. Dhina will score the music", says Simbhu.

Sneha in ‘Silambattam’

Simbu has a strange luck when it comes to heroine Sneha his films. On one hand, he has cool characters like Yana Gupta and Mandira Bedi. On the other he has a confusing Lekha

After 'Kaalai' and 'Kettavan,' Simbu is acting in 'Silambattam.' It is the first film directed by cinematographer Saravanan. After a tiny break from production, Lakshmi Movie Makers produce this film.

Simbu has two heroines in the film. Producer K Muralidharan says Sneha is one of the heroines, but Sneha herself is rather feeble over this.

Sneha is acting day and night as she has 7 film assignments on hand – 3 in Telugu and 4 in Tamil namely 'Aruvadai,' 'Pirivom Sandhippom,' 'Inba' and 'Pandi.'

Sneha - "Because I have no free dates, I could not act in 'Kaalai.' I would like to act in 'Silambattam' but the call sheet…" She lags.

The producer seems wedged on having Sneha as the heroine, so she may well end up doing silambattam!

Lingusamy's company Tirupathi Brothers took off with its maiden venture 'Deepavali' starring Jayam Ravi and Bhavana and directed by Ezhil. Since the film did not do too well, Lingusamy decided to take a break from producing films.

Now Lingusamy has decided that Tirupathi Brothers is ready to start its next project. His subordinate R Paneerselvam (as different from O Paneerselvam) will direct the as yet untitled film. It is said it will most probably feature Simbu in the main role.

It is all too easy for Lingusamy to direct his own production. Does he not want to take risks?"I started my making company with the intention of giving other directors an break. That's why I do not direct the films I produce," explains Lingusamy.Yes, he does indeed have a generous heart!
