Sameera Reddy opposite Vijay in Yohan?



Gautham Vasudev Menon, even as busy filming his first trilingual venture 'Neethane En Ponvasantham', seems to have zeroed in on the heroine for 'Yohan Adhyayam Ondru', his maiden film with Vijay.


If sources are to be believed, Gautham's 'favourite actress' Sameera Reddy would share the screen space with the Ilayathalapathy in this big-budget venture, which is set to hit the floors by early 2012.


"But an announcement is kept under wraps since Gautham wants to complete Neethane En Ponvasantham, before shifting focus to Yohan Adhyayam Ondru. Vijay too is happy to have Sameera on board," sources say.


Sameera was the leading lady of two of Gautham's earlier movies- 'Varanam Aayiram' and 'Nadunisi Naaygal'. In an interview earlier, the actress mentioned that she would act in a film without even listening to the script, if it is directed by Gautham.

AASCAR RAVICHANDRAN'S PLANS FOR VELAYUDHAM RELEASE




‘Ascar’ Ravichandran has been waitng for the completion of Vijay’s next flick Velayudham. He is looking at the film to release two of his films which are ready for long time.
Producer Ravichandran has completed ‘Leelai’ and ‘Moscowin Kaaviri’ but hasn’t been able to release them due to some inexplicable problem. These films are said to be lying in cold storage for the past one year or so. Queries with the producers’ aides revealed that he was looking for the ‘opportune’ moment to sneak in his films just prior to the release of a ‘big’ film – a Vijay or Ajith-starrer.
Prior to starting ‘Dasavathaaram’ with Kamal Haasan, Ravichandran had reportedly given some amount as ‘advance’ to Vijay to start a film. Now, he has launched the film ‘Velayudham’ with Vijay in the lead. Even as the film’s shooting begins soon, it would take at least 5-6 months for the producer to complete the film and its post-production work.
This gap would also provide him with the perfect opportunity to bargain with the distributors and theatre-owners to try and release his two films, ‘Leelai’ and ‘Moscowin Kaaviri’, citing that he has a Vijay film coming up for them.

An interview with Director Raja about Vijay and Velayudham

1) Vijay fans are waiting eagerly for Velayutham. Many of them have ordered fire crackers and waiting eagerly to do the first day milk pooja for Vijay. What can you say for them?


Ilayathalapathy Vijay has did an action rampage festival in Velayutham. It's worth a wait.


2) What is your opinion about making a film with Vijay?

Before 2 years, I met Vijay. He just asked me openly that, "You are always making films with your own brother and giving super hits. Won't you do a film with me?". I was so delighted to hear those words from his mouth and I narrated the story of Velayutham, in which the way i wanted to see Vijay in the silver screen as. At that time there was no political buzz surrounded Vijay.


3) Is there any dialouges in Velayutham to show Vijay as a politician?


In talking about Vijay movies, his fans always go to the theater to see their star's face in the silver screen only. If Vijay is with 500 fans in a spot, He will always pay attention to his fans and love to take photographs with all of them patiently. In Velayutham there is a dialogue, where Vijay says 'En Rasigargalukku onnu na naan aayutham ah maariduven".


4) Who is more responsible for a film's failure? Is it the story of the film or the hero?
The story is the first reason. Then comes the producer of the film. In my opinion, a brave director means, a person who fixes the hero in mind, for whom he is writing the script and makes a perfect story that suits him.


5) Did Velayutham gave the confidence that, it will break all the expectations while producing itself?

There are producers like Aascar Ravichandran, who won't even think about backing off or be scared to invest money to produce a big sum film like Velayutham for a mass hero like Vijay, who has a huge fan base.

Nanban in Both Tamil & Telugu for Pongal 2012


Shankar is all set to release his eagerly awaited multi-starrer Nanban starring Vijay, Jiiva, Ileana, Srikanth and Sathyaraj.

The film is almost complete except for some patchwork and half a song.Nanban is the remake of Raju Hirani’s mega blockbuster 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor and Bomman Irani. The big news is that the Tamil Nanban is now getting dubbed into Telugu.



The producers of the film Gemini Film Circuit (GFC) feel director Shankar by himself has a market in Telugu.  Ileana, is the most popular Telugu heroine. Jiiva and Srikanth are known to Andhra audiences, but the films hero Vijay is not a brand in AP.


At a time when Suriya, Vikram, Karthi and other heroes are household names in Andhra through their Tamil films dubbed into Telugu, Vijay’s films do not have a dubbing market in AP.


Now GFC and Shankar is making an effort to promote Vijay in AP and get the audiences to know him better. The buzz is that Vijay’s old films (most of them are Telugu remakes) are being suddenly being dubbed into Telugu.


Vijay’s Aadhi (a remake of Telugu Athanokkade) is now being dubbed into Telugu as Nene Raa Aadi!

Similarly a few other Vijay films will be dubbed into Telugu by GFC “for testing the waters” before Shankar’s  Nanban releases in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously  on January 14, 2012.

Jeeva Interview about Nanban and Vijay

How has Nanban shaped up?

Nanban has shaped up well. It has more grandeur, better quality. And, as it is Shankar sir’s film, it has his touch all over. We did not want to spoil the essence of the Hindi original. We have filmed in such a way that people who have seen the Hindi original will not say it’s not as good as the Hindi. Comedy has worked much better in Tamil and emotions have been conveyed beautifully. I can confidently say that if this film has been taken by anyone other than Shankar, it would not have come out this well. I can say this as someone who has seen the finished rough version.

Is there an influence of Sharman Joshi in your character portrayal in Nanban?

Our aim was not to disturb the original character even in the minutest way. But I feel the Tamil version will be more entertaining. That’s what I felt when I saw the film as an audience. And the finer emotions involving friendship are well brought out. I am very positive about Nanban. I cannot say there is an influence (of Sharman Joshi). I have portrayed the role in my individual style.

Abt Nanban unit?

It’s a great unit with Vijay sir, Sathyaraj sir, Srikanth, Ileana and Anuya, You would get the feel of having eaten a full course meal when you see Nanban. I am the youngest in the unit and Vijay sir is senior to me in age and in experience. It was a lively unit and we all had fun playing pranks on each other. We have all becomes good friends and I know Vijay from my childhood days when he has acted in some of our production ventures when I used to call him Anna. With this film, the bonding between me and Vijay has strengthened. And Srikanth and I have been friends for a long time. In this film, our travel has been more together and as there is no jodi for me and Srikanth, it was boring and since there was no other go, me and Srikanth have become the jodi of Nanban. It was good fun and also we had lots of travel in Nanban. We went to Andamans, Ooty, Coimbatore and Dehradun for the shoot.

ALL ABOUT 'FOUR' PLAY IN NANBAN

 Director Shankar is always known for that extra mile he goes to make sure his film appeals to all sections of the audience. And the man has employed the same tactics in his forthcoming film Nanban as well.
    

We hear the director is shooting a duet song for the film in a famous studio in the city and is making sure Vijay and Ileana’s looks in the same are remembered for years to come. 
    

A source says, “Vijay has four different never-seenbefore get-ups in this song and it takes him close to two hours to apply make-up and another two hours to remove it. Even Ileana looks different in the song. Shankar patiently waits while the actors get their make-up done.” 
    
Shankar is a director who pays a lot of attention to the way the characters look in his films. Many still remember Kamal Haasan’s look in Indian and Rajinikanth’s get-ups for a song in Endhiran. We’re sure Vijay too will now join the list.



Director Shankar assures grandeur in all his works. And the director is set to prove this once again in his forthcoming film 'Nanban', which has Vijay, Srikanth, Jiiva and Ileana D'cruz in lead roles.


"A song for Nanban was shot recently on a grandly erected set at a popular studio. Vijay and Ileana appeared in four never seen before get-ups for this number, which would be a visual treat to the audience," say sources in the know.


"All the four attires were designed by a team led by Shankar after carefully referring latest trends and styles. A lot of money and time was spent for the costumes and sets for this particular song," they add.


It is also said that it took two hours for Vijay to wear a particular make-up that was required for this number. "The actor was all patient and the director brought out the best from him. All is well with Nanban so far, aptly reflecting its tagline," sources say.

One lakh Junior artistes take part in shoot of Velayudham


One of the highlights of the upcoming film ‘Velayudham’ starring Vijay, Hansika and Genelia is a sequence involving over one lakh persons which was shot in a grand manner by ‘Jayam’ Raja. The film is awaited with great interest by Vijay’s fans who are hoping their star would repeat the success of his latest film ‘Kavalan’ which released early this year.



This is also the first time Raja is directing a film outside his home production and a hero other than his younger brother ‘Jayam’ Ravi. The film has music by Vijay Antony and is produced by Ravichandran’s Ascar Films. Raja assures that the film has been made keeping in view Vijay’s trusted audience (women and children). The film is hitting the screens on Deepavali eve next month.


Talking about the making of the film, Raja said “I have made optimum use of Vijay’s image and the heroism that he so casually exudes on screen. Likewise, both Genelia and Hansika have been given equal footage; I should also admit that both have rendered their utmost cooperation. Vijay Antony has worked hard to better his tunes which were appreciated in Vettaikkaran, his last film with Vijay. I’m told that the sale of the audio CDs and cassettes of the film has been doing fine.
“Ravichandran is a director’s dream producer and does whatever is asked from him. For a sequence in the film, I needed around one lakh junior artistes. Without bothering to ask me in detail as to why I needed so many people, he simply arranged for the same that too in Kerala and not in Tamil Nadu. The film has been widely shot in various parts of the country with just a song sequence remaining to be canned in the scenic locales of the Kashmir Valley,” he concluded.

Vijay's photoshoot with Angela Johnson


the Kingfisher Calendar girl is Vijay’s heroine in his new film to be directed by AR Murgadoss.
Last week, cameraman Sathosh Sivan did a hush-hush photo shoot at a Chennai studio with Angela and Vijay.

The results of the photo shoot are said to be amazing. Angela looks very glamorous and is said to be photogenic and Murugadoss, it seems is extremely happy with the outcome.

However, Murgadoss is trying his best to keep Angela under the wraps.

This untitled film is produced by Vijay’s dad SAC in association with producer Aascar Ravichandran and is expected to kick start by the end of the September.

Murgadoss will be working with Vijay for the first time in this action packed adventure film.

The untitled film will be shot by ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan.

The music director is yet to be firmed up, though there are rumours that Harris Jayaraj may do the film.

Cinematographer Santhosh Sivan Abt Vijay - Murugadoss Movie

It’s official internationally reputed cinematographer Santosh Sivan will be the cameraman of Vijay’s new film to be directed by AR Murgadoss.

The film will start rolling in a few days and will be produced by Vijay’s father SA Chandrasekhar in association with Aascar Ravichandran and marketed worldwide by Fox Star Studios.

Former Kingfisher calendar girl Angela Johnson is debuting as heroine opposite Vijay.

Speaking exclusively to sify.com Santosh Sivan said: “Yes I’m doing the Murgadoss directed film with Vijay. A few years back I was to do the Hindi version of Ghajini but it did not happen to various reasons. Now my directorial venture Ceylon got postponed. I thought during the break I will turn DOP (Director of Photography) work which I enjoy a lot. In Tamil I have only done DOP for Mani sir and Suhasini. I like Vijay films and looking forward to working with him and Murgadoss.”

Murugadoss gets ready for Vijay film


With two big tasks before AR Murugadoss getting completed by this month, the director is expected to start his next film soon, for which he would join hands with Ilayathalapathy Vijay for the first time.

"Murugadoss's maiden production venture Engeyum Eppodhum is seeing the light of the day on September 16. Six days after that, the much awaited audio launch of his 7aam Arivu will take place on September 22," sources say.

Though the Suriya-starrer is scheduled to release in the last week of October for Deepavali, the director will be technically free from September last week itself. So he would start the Vijay-starrer in October for sure, they add.

Get set for 'Nanban' logo


Anything that happens with director Shankar's ventures make headlines instantly and his latest offing 'Nanban' with the top young heroes of the Tamil film industry is no exception. The latest news flowing out of the 'Nanban' camp is that Shankar has come out with a creative icon for his 'Nanban.'


This symbol will be more or less like a logo for the film reveal sources close to the unit and they are also confident that it will be a hit with the movie goers. The symbol will be the three lead characters back-to-back with Vijay in the centre, and Jiiva and Srikanth on his either sides. The picture shows the stars adorning a crown and decked in jewellery all inclusive of the 'kundalas' (ear rings), necklaces and vanky (for their biceps)!


And for that modern appeal the lead men are clad in T-shirts!


Sources close to the 'Nanban' team revealed that Shankar was looking for a right image or an icon similar to that of Bollywood's '3 Idiots' which had the lead stars sitting in specially customized chairs. The image as well as the chairs became a huge fad after the posters were out.


Shankar might have wanted a similar USP for his 'Nanban' and that's when the idea to come out with a Tamil version of his 'Nanban' icon might have struck him!

Vijay to shake legs with International dancers for Nanban

Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth starrer Nanban shoot will be completed in the next ten days. This has been confirmed by director Shankar itself in his blog. The team has wrapped up the shoot of the film and is left with only one song which will be completed in the next 10 days.

It is known that the song will be canned on Ilayathalapathy Vijay where more than 50 dancers from various countries will be flying to Chennai this Monday to shake their legs with dancing legend Ilayathalapathy Vijay. The final editing of the film is also under progress and Shankar has asked Harris Jayraj to complete the songs for the audio release. In all aspects the audio is expected to hit the stores mostly in the month of October.

The film is the remake of the 2009 Bollywood blockbuster film 3 Idiots, which was adapted from the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. Nanban is also getting dubbed in Telugu.

Is Angela Johnson heroine for Vijay-Murugadoss Film?


A massive countrywide hunt was on by the local media to name Vijay’s new heroine for his film with AR Murgadoss.

Some of the names tossed around included Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra!

Well now it looks like none of these girls are any longer in the race, as they have all got big Hindi film commitments for the next 18 months.  Vijay is very particular about who plays the heroine in his
films.



Murgadoss has now gone the extra mile to please his hero who is also producing the film under his father’s (SAC) banner.

The grapevine has it that the heroine is likely to be the stunningly good-looking Angela Johnson, who graced the January month on Kingfisher Calendar 2011.

Angela  has a Chennai connect as she was born in Chennai to an Icelandic father and Mangalorean mother.



The bombshell is said to be a good dancer and is just 20 years old. Angela Johnson had been more in news for her alleged linkup with the hot and happening Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor than her professional goings.

She is yet to do a Bollywood film, though there are rumours she is doing Kya Kool Hai Hum 2.

When Murgadoss offered her the role in his next Vijay film, she is said to have jumped at it. There is a belief that those girls who make their debut in Tamil films opposite a big star or directed by a noted filmmaker, may make it big in Bollywood!


Angela Johnson can take a leaf out of Aishwarya Rai (Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar) or Priyanka Chopra (Tamizhan opposite Vijay)’s career graph and see where they have reached after doing a Tamil film.
Remember Katrina Kaif the current numero uno in Bollywood after her disastrous debut with Boom in Hindi, came to Telugu and reworked her career with the super hit Telugu Malleswari with Venkatesh!


Murgadoss and Vijay could not be reached for their comment. The Murgadoss- Vijay starrer will start rolling from October first week in Chennai, when an official announcement will be made regarding the film and the heroine.

நண்பன் பற்றி இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர் பேட்டி
