Karthi to do a Telugu film!

Almost all Karthi-starrers ('Paruthi Veeran', 'Aayirathil Oruvan', 'Paiyaa') which were dubbed and released in Telugu were hits. This has made him to act in a straight Tollywood film, which he will be doing soon.

The actor, who was in Hyderabad recently to promote 'Naa Peru Shiva', the Telugu version of 'Naan Mahan Alla', told journalists: "My straight Telugu movie will be directed by Bommarillu fame Bhaskar."

He added, "I am indebted a lot to the Telugu audience for they have supported all my films. My next venture with Bhaskar will be my tribute to them. It will have all elements which Andhra movie lovers would like to watch."

In Kollywood, Karthi, who is back from his honeymoon trip, has started shooting for 'Saguni', a political satire. Directed by Shankar Dayal, a newcomer, 'Saguni' is expected to hit the screens for Deepavali that also marks the actor's Thala Deepavali.

Saguni's heroine: It is not Anushka or Shriya

Actress Pranitha made her debut in Tamil with Udhayan opposite Arulnidhi. She is very happy with the response she has been getting and says that everyone has only good things to say about her performance in the film. Pranitha has been hoping that the film will get her noticed and help her to land some good films.

It looks like Pranitha's prayers have been answered, because she is going to be Karthi's heroine in Saguni. Karthi's last film Siruthai was a smash hit, and he has been waiting patiently for a good script to follow it up. Debutant Shankar Dayal impressed him with Saguni and Karthi agreed to do it. There was talk that Shriya Saran or Anushka would be the heroine but Pranitha has been finalized.

Karthi, for a cause

Karthi Sivakumar has become the cause ambassador for Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSD), and called for support from the media to create greater awareness on the disorder so that, many would come forward to help the affected children.

Talking to journalists in Chennai on Saturday, the actor said, "Experts in the field say only six out of 40 LSDs can be cured through treatment such as enzyme replacement therapy. I request corporate firms and other institutions to donate to the cause and lend a helping hand to the affected children."

LSDs occur when the lysosome, the recycling centre of the cell, malfunctions, resulting in the breakdown in the cell. Depending on the area where the cell destruction happens, the patients suffer from organ failures and muscular disabilities.

This is not the first time for Karthi to lend a hand for a cause. Recently, he adopted a white tiger named Namratha at Vandalur zoo and contributed Rs 72,000 (which would cover six months of her expenses).

He said, "Awareness has to be created in the need to protect the animals, and I would like to visit the various wildlife sanctuaries during my free time."

Karthi and the Saguni update

Shooting of Saguni, the upcoming film of Karthi being directed by Shankar Dayal is proceeding in a satisfactory phase.

Siruthai Promo Video Songs

Siruthai Music Review

I haven't wrote a music review in ages, so I thought I should write one. So I picked Siruthai since it recently released. :) Siruthai stars Karthi and Tammana in the lead roles with Siva directing it and Vidyasagar is the music director. This movie is a remake of the 2006 Telugu Blockbuster Vikramarkudu. I think this ones going to be short.


Naan Romba Romba- This sounds obviously like the hero(Karthi)'s intro song. It has hilarious lyrics :D Its a  mass song yet has some classy instruments in the middle :) Its sung by Ranjith,he has one energetic voice! :) The song starts out with the jithatha jitha jitha from the movies original Vikramarkudu :D



Chellam Vada Chellam-Its a super cute duet with Udit Narayan and Surumukhi giving voices for the lead pair and Roshan with his little rapping. It has easy lyrics to follow and Udit Narayan actually is understandable :D Surumukhi has a really sweet voice and Udit is just as good :) Its classy, but like the song before it has a mass appeal in the middle :D 



Azhaga Poranthuputa-  Sounds like the item number of the movie :D Very "itemy" lyrics. :P  Oh and there are some Telugu lyrics in the beginning :D This ones sung by Malathy,Priyadharshini,and Laxman. I can see some hardcore dance moves in this one :D. Its a mass song, but its not super fast except in some places. 



Thalattu-This one is a sleep number :P I say this because its like a sleep lullaby, it sounds soft and peaceful :) It has some nice and sweet lyrics, the song is only 1:44 and sung by Srivardhini :)



Adi Rakkamma Rakku- This one is sung by Ranjith, Suchitra and Roshan. If you were looking for Vidyasagar's signature kuthu beated fear not, because its this one!!!  The singers do a great job, especially Suchitra she seems to always put emotion into what she sings. :) It has funny English lyrics in it too :D 



My Picks: Chellam Vada Chellam & Adi Rakkamma Rakku, loved/enjoyed these two :)


Final: Vidyasagar proves himself once again and he doesn't forget his Kuthu song! :D It will appeal to both the mass and class audience, for sure :)


Siruthai Trailer :

Karthi, Vijay and Dhanush to battle

Ilaignan, Kaavalan, Siruthai and Aadukalam have now been confirmed for Pongal releases. Earlier, there was a speck of doubt about Siruthai making it for Pongal but the latest from the camp is that the film is ready and raring to hit the screens.

So, it’s Karthi, Vijay and Dhanush competing this time and the movie buffs are waiting to know the final outcome. The countdown has begun and the D-day is not far off!

Kaavalan has its own set of problems especially in finding theatres while Siruthai and Aadukalam are having a smooth sail. Ilaignan on the other hand is backed by the TN CM as it is based on a novel penned by him.

Karthi to wed in 2011?

One question that looms large on Karthi is about his wedding. This hot and happening hero of Kollywood had refuted all rumors about his relationship with his co-star Tamannah and said that his family is looking for a suitable match for him.

When questioned about this during a recent interview, the actor once again reiterated that a hunt is on to find him a bride but his parents are yet to zero in on one. However, Karthi added that his marriage will take place soon. Can we expect the star to enter into wedlock in 2011?

Siruthai Trailer

Im sorry but Karthi can not look too manly, he is just too cute. He has such a baby face! :D But him and Tammana make cute pair :D

South is super: Tamannah

Tamannah seems to be happy with what she is. At a time when actresses from south are striving to make it big in Bollywood, the actress from the north says she would prefer to stay in the south.

"I am currently busy with projects in Tamil and Telugu. And I am happy with the roles I am being offered here. So there is no question of going to Bollywood at this point of time," the beauty says.

The actress, who is currently acting in 'Siruthai' with his 'Paiyaa' co-star Karthi, has been roped in act opposite Dhanush in 'Vengai', a film to be directed by Hari. "Both are interesting roles," she says with a smile.

In Telugu, she is acting opposite Allu Arjun, Junior NTR and Naga Chaitanya, all hot and happening actors of Tollywood. "For me a film is like a package, everything from the script to the hero to the director depends," she says.
