ALL IZZ WELL WITH NANBAN

Looks like Shankar is working hard towards releasing his Nanban for the next big festival, Pongal. After completing the last scene in the multi-starrer, the ace director wrote on his blog, “Nanban shooting is 100 per cent complete. Since Velayudham is releasing on Deepavali, Nanban will be for Pongal.” 

There were recent reports of Ileana’s tantrums on set while shooting for Farah Khan but looks like all izz well with the Nanban team. A source informs us, “The shooting was wrapped up five days ago, with a song featuring both Vijay and Ileana being the last one to be shot. It’s a melodious romantic duet, choreographed by Farah, and was shot in a studio in the city. Shankar will now concentrate on the post production work of the film and release it for Pongal.” 

A spokesperson of the production house that’s presenting Nanban, says, “I think Raju Hirani has done a brilliant job with 3 idiots. But after seeing the rushes of Nanban, I can say that Shankar has done an even better job. There’s a ‘Shankar touch’. He has made this film to suit the Tamil sensibilities, without altering the core of the story. We are looking to launch the audio, composed by Harris Jayaraj, by the end of November.”
