Sasikumar's new film from April

Director – actor Sasikumar is not put down by the under performance of his much expected ‘Easan’. The film could find favours only with the city audience and the non-urban fans expected another ‘Subramanaipuram’ from Sasikumar.
 
But all that is past and Sasikumar is up for his next. He is all set to launch a film titled ‘Poralai’ under his Company Productions. It will be a reversal of roles this time as Sasikumar will act in the movie and his best friend Samuthirakani will direct. 
 
Other leading actors confirmed so far are Allari Naresh and Ganja Karuppu. The leading ladies and other actors are being finalized.  
 
Music will be by Taj Noor who made a sensational debut with ‘Vamsam’ last year. Three songs have already been composed and ready. The shooting of ‘Porali’ will begin in April and the official announcement will happen in a few days.

Tamannah waits for Gautham and Shankar

Tamannah has had a lucky year with Paiyya turning out to be a blockbuster and the actress is waiting for Siruthai to hit the marquee to continue her success run. With hits and some good offers pouring in, Tamannah must be thanking her stars. But the lady still has some unfulfilled desires as far as her career is concerned.

She says that working with ace directors like Gautham Menon, Shankar and Sasi Kumar is her dream and is waiting for a call from one of these directors. Let’s hope Tamannah's desire is fulfilled soon.

Subramaniapuram in Hindi?

GV Prakash is soon to score the music for two Bollywood flicks and interestingly both these films are being directed and produced by Anurag Kashyap. During his visit to Chennai recently for the audio launch of Easan, Anurag had said that he is impressed with Sasi Kumar’s Subramaniapuram and requested him for DVD with sub titles.

Does that mean a Hindi remake of Subramaniapuram from Anurag is in the offing and GV Prakash is to score the music for it?

The buzz, however, is that GV Prakash will compose music for a romantic film, with strong importance to music, and another film to be produced by Anurag.

Arya is super: Siddarth

Today’s young breed of heroes has no reservations to praise each other. Most of them share a very good relationship and hardly have they missed an opportunity to show it in open.

Joining the list is Siddarth, who showers praise on Arya. “He is super. All his recent films are quite different from the usual stuff and he is proving himself as a versatile actor,” the ‘Boys’ hero said.

Siddarth, who is currently acting in a bilingual film titled ‘180’, says: “While his ‘Naan Kadavul’ was set in a totally new backdrop, ‘Madrasapattinam’ was about Chennai in the 1940s, and his recent ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ is a straight contrast to both the films.”

On his favourite films in the recent past, Siddarth says, “I liked ‘Kalavani’, ‘Subramaniapuram’ and ‘Kattradhu Thamizh’ a lot. I have bought my third DVD of ‘Subramaniapuram’ as the earlier two discs got spoiled after repeated playing.”
