Dhanush to sport three looks in 'Irandam Ulagam'

Grapevine has it that Dhanush will sport three different looks in the project he is working along with his brother, Selvaraghavan, tentatively titled 'Irandam Ulagam'.

The first of which is a young look where Dhanush sports a single earring stud, and has a more cool appeal, the second look has him sport a beard making the look give a whole gloomy appeal. The third one is something few of us have seen, Dhanush with a thick mustache giving a whole mature touch to his character.

Although expectations are raving high on this Dhanush and Richa Gangopadhyay starrer, the makers are keen about not revealing any information on the characters or the script. In fact, the announcement that 'Irandam Ulagam' is only the work title of the film has led to further expectations...

Amala Paul dubs for 'Vettai'

Although Amala Paul had worked in a few projects before 'Mynaa', this damsel from Kerala shot to fame and was recognized by critics only after working in this Prabhu Solomon offering. She is now being considered as a promising young talent in the Tamil film industry and has bagged herself some interesting projects with big names.

Grapevine has it that in her forthcoming film, 'Vettai', a multi-starrer directed by Lingusamy, Amala Paul will dub her own voice! 'Vettai' has Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul essaying lead roles and is gearing up for a diwali release.

IG had reported the rage the trailer of 'Vettai' is setting in theaters, that has Madhavan in a scene that makes one look back to earlier Maddy - Lingu blockbuster offering, 'Run', that released almost a decade ago.

An actor dubbing their own voice opens up chances of being recognized by prominent award committees and leading directors. Way to go girl...

Jiiva Marathon

Well I just went through my 2nd marathon, for a couple of weeks. This time it was actor Jiiva, who has acted in movies such as Ko,Raam,Siva Manasula Sakthi, and more. Here is the list of movies I saw, in order of my most favorite to least.

1. Ko

*ing: Jiiva,Karthika,Pia,and Ajmal

Everyone has that movie of a certain actor, in which they notice or become a fan of him/her. Ko was it for me. Jiiva once again proved himself as an actor, through this film. Jiiva also shared great chemistry with Karthika and Pia. The songs were just awesome! Till Ko I saw like 4 movies of Jiiva, which weren't very eye catching, but in Boss Engira Bhaskaran I thought he was pretty funny. 

Ko Review 

2. Dishyum

*ing: Jiiva,Sandhya

Loved it for its cute love story, about a stunt man and an arts student falling in love. I thought it was different how they fell in love. By the way nice acting done by both Jiiva and Sandhya. I have seen the movie twice, and still every scene is something to look forward too. 

3. Siva Mansula Sakthi

*ing: Jiiva,Anuya,Santhanam

SMS, is watchable anytime for me, I don't know why. I can turn it on anytime and still not get tired of it. The creds go to Director Rajesh for making it such a cool film. Shout Out to Anuya, for her commendable acting in her debut film. I still love the songs! :D

4. Rameswaram

*ing:Jiiva,Bhavana,Lal

Number 4 for the Jiiva and Bhavana pair, (they were adorbs) and the story. I also admired the awesome Sri Lankan Tamil, it was very different from the Tamil spoken in TN, and I like the sound of it. 

5. E

*ing:Jiiva,Nayantara,Pasupathy,Ashish Vidyarthi,Karunas

Out of all the Jiiva movies I've seen, this was the MOST different. His character had this negative shade, that later changed to a nice person. The Jiiva and Nayan pair was unexpected, but nice. 

6. Boss Engira Bhaskaran

*ing: Arya,Nayantara,Santhanam,Jiiva-Cameo

Since this is only a Jiiva post :D This ranking is only based on his cameo. His Cameo was hilarious XD Since it was Rajesh from SMS who directed it, his cameo had shades of Siva. :D

Boss Engira Bhaskaran Review

KT was named Tamil M.A before.

7. Kattradhu Tamizh

*ing:Jiiva,Anjali

At number 7 for Jiiva's awesomely insane acting! I still can't he didn't at least get a State Award, for this performance! Anjali and Jiiva made a cute pair :)) Once Again,Anjali is one of those talented debuts. The ending was surprising. 

8. Raam

*ing:Jiiva,Gajala,Saranya,Murali

Once Again, Awesome acting by Jiiva and it was only his third film! I find it sad that Gajala's career didn't take off well after the movie. Raam was a good suspenseful movie to watch. :)

9.Kacheri Arambam

*ing:Jiiva,Poonam Bajwa,J.D Chakravathy

For its humor mostly(satirical comedy), Jiiva's comical acting. Love the songs, they are so catchy especially: Kadavule Kadavule,Kacheri Arambam,and Vaada. :D Poonam leads the "Pair list" for Jiiva. Though all the other actress were pretty good, I don't know why Poonam seems awesome for him. :D I guess they just had a spark between them. ;)

10. Singam Puli

*ing: Jiiva,Divya Spandana,Honey Rose/Sandhya

Another one for Jiiva's acting! Wasn't excepting a character with that kind of negative shade from Jiiva. 

Singam Puli Review

11. Thenavattu

*ing:Jiiva,Poonam Bajwa

Sadly,this is one of my least favorite Jiiva movies, it failed to attract. Some good things: Jiiva-Poonam pair= Awesomeness! :D, And it also projected trans women in good light, unlike all the other movies that project the in a bad way. 

12. Pori

*ing:Jiiva,Pooja,

Another Jiiva movie that failed to attract. :( The only good thing: Perunthil Nee track. Jiiva and Pooja were very cute together,evidence: the poster above. :) 

Final Stuff: Jiiva is a skilled actor and a wonderful person. Make sure to watch out for his upcoming movies: Rowthiram,Vandhan Vendran,Nanban,and Mugamoodi! :) He also is turning a producer along with his bro,Jithan Ramesh, its said that his production company is going to be called Spiral Dreams.

Make way for 'Angane Thudangi'

'Angane Thudangi' is a rom-com that is directed under the captaincy of Nandini Reddy and produced under the Sri Ranjith Movies banner. The movie is the dubbed version of Telugu super hit 'Ala Modalaindi' and stars Nani and Nithya Menen essaying lead roles.

The film sees Gautham, played by Nani, who is in love with Simran, played by Kriti Kharbanda, and then he is injured in the head by Nithya, played by Nithya Menen. He is then hospitalized and things take a twist as Simran falls in love with the doctor treating Gautham and they even get married!

At the wedding, Gautham meets Nithya who was in love with the doctor, and later Gautham falls for her truly. What follows next and how he confesses his love to Nithya forms the rest of the story in 'Angane Thudangi'.

Although there was a mad rush in Malayalam for the remake rights of this film, the makers are confident and want to release the dubbed version. Nani has been on a promotional spree for this film, and Nithya Menen has carved a niche for herself among Malayalam movie fans already.

It will hit the screens all over Kerala on July 28.

'Ko' goes with Shahid or Ranbir?

The kind of magic that KV Anand's 'Ko' created among audience need not be talked about for movie buffs are still smitten by this Jiiva starrer. 'Ko' released this summer and starred Jiiva, Ajmal, Piaa Bajpai and Karthika in lead roles and the movie was an instant hit, what with the unique script and perfect composition of elements in this commercial thriller.

We had earlier reported to you that although many Hindi filmmakers were eyeing on this film and were willing to offer some whooping price for the remake rights of this film, it was Akshay Kumar who bagged it.

Although it was said that Akshay Kumar will don the role of Jiiva in the Hindi version, grapevine is now abuzz that Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor are being considered for this role, whereas Ajmal will mark his entry in the same role he played in the original, that of an aspiring politician.

However, an official announcement is yet to be made on this front. Do post your comments on who do you think will fit well for this role...
