It is understood that the leading actors Vijay and Surya films are getting delayed due to Kajal Agarwal dates. Kajal Agarwal is now struggling to become number one actress in Tamil film industry.
In Tamil, she is pairing with Vijay in Thuppakki and with Surya in Maatran. She is also acting in one Hindi film and two Telugu films which have popular actors in the lead role. She is shuttling between Tamil Nadu, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
Two more songs featuring Vijay and Kajal Agarwal are to be shot for the film Thuppakki. Similarly one more song in Maatran featuring Surya and Kajal Agarwal are remaining to be shot. Kajal Agarwal had given dates earlier but the directors have not used it properly.
Now they have requested fresh dates from her. Kajal has already allocated the dates requested by the directors for other films and because of this, the shooting of Thuppakki and Maatran are stalled.
The release of these films could also be delayed. Director Murugadoss has announced that Thuppakki will hit the screens on Deepavali day but Maatran release dates can be announced only after getting Kajal’s dates. Only the parrot astrologer can predict when Kajal parrot will come to Tamil Nadu.

A small chat with Arya
Arya is currently acting in various Tamil films including Erandam Ulagam and Settai.
In a small chat with him:
Selvaraghavan making is of a different genre. Will it suit you?
Why not? How long will I continue to be like this? That is why I have chosen this. I have never paved my path. All this happened because of my first film director Jeeva. After completing my computer education, I was supposed to go to America but director Jeeva caught hold of me and asked me to act in Ullam Ketkumae. He said, "Do this film well and you will like cinema." I never knew anything. I did what he said. After this I got very much interested in cinema as mentioned by him. Instead of going to America, I became a full time actor. I feel that I should act in good films. Erandam Ulagam will be definitely such a one. I am confident that I will be going to next level after this film. I like the way Selvaraghavan makes this film. I have gained lots of experience. I am fully satisfied with him and his film. This film will be new to Tamil cinema.
At the same time you are acting in Settai. This will give you a different colour. Isn’t it?
Sure. That is a different colour. Our only aim is to make the audience laugh. We cannot bring the exact Hindi Delhi Belly to our place. We have reduced the pungency in it. At the same it is a bold story. The combination of director Kannan, Santhanam and Premgi is a new team. This is also a good experience for me.
You are sharing the screen with Ajith. Why this new trend?
I like Ajith very much. He will speak a lot when I meet him. He will speak also about my films. There will be genuineness in him. Every word he speaks will show the interest he has on us. Ajith is a role model for our kind of actors. There are days when I use to think, that if I go cinema I should be like Ajith. I was very much surprised on seeing Ajith sharing with small actors in the film Mankatha. I saw the film Mankatha with great eagerness. One day while director Vishnuvardhan was speaking with me, he said, "Arya, we will all rock together." Now this has happened. I am waiting for Ajith now.

Shruthi Haasan said that she will not dance for item number called Kuthu songs.
She while speaking said, "Many are asking me about the flop Hindi film Luck in which I debuted as a heroine.
I know that the film did not do well at the box office but when the film was released in the theatres, no one walked half way through the film.
This film did not do well at the box office because of my fate but I was not upset because of this. The cinema doors were always opened to me because I happen to be the daughter of a big star.
I got that rare opportunity. Though I am getting lots of offers, I am selecting the good ones and acting in it. I will ask my father only his opinion. I will not force him to get offers for me at any point of time.
He has also not forced me to act in any films. Many are asking me that whether I will dance for a Kuthu song. I like dancing but I will not dance for a single song and especially for a Kuthu song."

Deepika Padukone says that Rajnikanth is like a child
Deepika Padukone has mentioned that super star Rajnikanth is like a child. Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is pairing with Rajni in Kochadaiyaan.
Recently when she spoke about her acting with Rajni, she said, "Before the shooting could commence I would be tensed. Once the camera starts to roll I will transform myself as the character.
That is my habit. I was awestruck seeing Rajni’s interest and enthusiasm. I felt like that he was a child. Once the shot is over and when the director says Okay, you can never see the happiness and passion in any other actor’s face than Rajni. He will never forget to appreciate the actors who have acted well. The director of this film is his daughter Soundarya but he will behave with her like how he behaves with other directors.
Once the shot is Okayed he will ask if it has come out well with interest. You can see in the eyes of the stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan and Rajnikanth, their acting and over enthusiasm. Performance technology is the latest. This has been used in Kochadaiyaan. The actors do not need to participate in the shooting fully. Facial expressions and other expressions are captured separately. The digital takes care of the rest. It is almost like an amalgamation of reality and animation. This is a new experience for me."

Richa explains that why she has not acted in Tamil films after acting in Dhanush and Simbhu film
Richa gives an explanation that why she has not acted in Tamil films after acting in Dhanush and Simbhu films.
She said, "While I was acting in Mayakkam Enna and Osthi, I got the offer to act in Mankatha directed by Venkat Prabhu. I was in a situation that I could not accept it. Venkat Prabhu who understood this said that we can join hands in another film.
In between I was busy acting in other language films and because of this I was not able to accept Tamil films. Venkat Prabhu recently approached me to act in his film Biryani. I did not want to lose this opportunity. I immediately gave my nod.
Normally there will be importance for heroes in Venkat Prabhu’s films but in this film there is importance for the heroine. The shooting of this film will be commencing by end of this month. Young actors are very talented these days. In that way Karthi is in the first place. I am very happy that I am pairing with him in Biryani. Similarly I am also interested to act with Surya. I have reduced my weight to act in this film."

What is the story of Samar?
Samar is a film which has Vishal, Trisha, Sunaina, Manoj Bajpai and J D Chakravarthy in the cast. This film is directed by Thiru. The director while speaking about this film said, " Some believe that what happens in our life are determined by God.
Some are of the impression that we are the one who determines. Above there is some matter. We have narrated in this film what is that matter and how it guides us. How the hero approaches and overcomes the problems because of this is the story of Samar.
This is an action oriented psycho thriller film. Vishal dons the role of a druggist while Trisha is domiciled in Thailand. Sunaina is from Ooty. I have earlier directed Vishal in the film Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai. There is no connection between this film and Samar because this has a different kind of action. Vishal and Trisha chemistry has worked out well in this film. "

K V Anand speaks about Maatran
K V Anand while speaking about Maatran said, "Surya is donning the role of conjoined twins in this film. Both of them have opposite characteristics. This is a technically challenging story. Graphics should be perfect.
Many are asking me that how I got this idea. Shankar and I were going abroad for shooting of the song sequence ‘Oru Koodai Sunlight’ for Rajni starrer Sivaji. I happened to read the National Geographic Magazine.
There was a story about the birth of conjoined twins in Thailand in that magazine. There was a flash in my mind. When I came back to India, I started searching for such kind of twins. I got surprising information about these twins. With this I wove the story of Maatran. One of them has positive thoughts while the other one has crooked thoughts.
In real life also, there are twins like these. There are two minds in a body. Surya has done a fantastic job in this film. He has put all his efforts in this film which he has supposed to do in three films. I told him the story during the Ayan days itself. He listened to the story. Once I completed Ko, he asked me whether we can take the twins story in the hands.
We immediately started after doing a lot of homework. The names of the twins Surya are Akilan and Vimalan. Vimalan is a good boy. He will write poems. He helps others and eats vadais. He will not tell lies. Akilan is direct opposite to him. He will speak English, Pizza party and dating youngster. If Vimalan is a good boy, Akilan is a play boy. Surya has wonderful performance can be seen in this film. There is no separate comedian in this film. Surya is responsible for this."

Director Vijay tells that whether he has purchased a house for Amala Paul
Director Vijay is back after completing the shooting of Thandavam which has Vikram and Anushka in the lead role. When asked him about the rumours being spread about him, he said, "I am also irritated.
I am fed up answering these questions. Like moving with others I was friendly with Amala Paul. Is it wrong that if a director smiles at her heroine. They made it serious. They are going on spreading rumours as they wish.
I made up mind not to speak about these things but they are not allowing me. The reason for all of these things is that I am a bachelor. The media people are trying to get me forcibly married. I will soon get married to a good girl so give me some time.
There was news that I have bought a house in Kadhar Nawaz Road and purchased a BMW car for the use of Amala Paul. It is true that I have purchased a house and a car but those were not for Amala Paul. My parents are only living in that house. Why should I give my hard earned money to Amala Paul? It is better to avoid this subject."

Will Samantha pair with Surya at least?
Samantha who had quit big directors film Kadal and I has now got another opportunity. After Maatran, Surya will be donning the lead role in Singam 2. After completing this, he will be joining hands with Lingusamy.
The heroine selection has already begun. Lingusamy is very firm that Samantha should pair with Surya. In the recent times, Samantha has been avoiding offers because of her skin problems. Samantha who had earlier quit I and Kadal has now got the third opportunity. In case Samantha refuses this film, the offer might go to Parineeti Chopra who is the sister of the Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra.

The director felt that Trisha would be the appropriate actress to pair with Mohanlal but Trisha did not agree for this. Sources close to Trisha say, " Trisha is getting lots of offers in Malayalam but she is busy acting in other language films.
That is the reason she was not able to give call sheet for Mohanlal’s film. Trisha is currently acting in four Tamil films. Now she has no time to act in Malayalam films.
The crew members give us a different version. One of the crew member said, "When we approached Trisha for her call sheet she demanded a salary of Rs 40 Lakhs. She refused to reduce her salary. Malayalam film industry has very small market and hence we cannot pay excessive salary to heroines."

Anushka is very busy in the Tamil films Alex Pandian, Thandavam, Singam 2 and Erandam Ulagam. She is acting in four big films simultaneously. She while answering our questions said:
Is it true that you got cinema offers by teaching yoga to cinema actors?
Yes. I will go the house of cinema actors and teach them yoga. Telugu director Poori Jaganath is one of the persons who learnt yoga from me. He only mentioned that it will be good if I act in films. I thought he was playfully telling this. Then he became serious and told me that I should act. Through him I got the opportunity to act with Nagarjuna in the film titled Super. After this I had acted in the film Lakshyam. This was the film which made me known to the world. I had donned a role of bubbly girl and that is my real character.
There is news that you have stopped acting in Telugu films and that you are even refusing offers given by your close directors?
I cannot say that I have stopped acting in Telugu films. How is it possible for me to not act in my mother language films? I am interested to act in Telugu films than in any other language films. I have lots of Tamil films. I am acting in Thandavam, Singam 2, Alex Pandian and Erandam Ulagam. Each film is important to me. All these films are multi starrers. I am forced to concentrate in Tamil cinema. This is an inevitable matter. That is the reason I am not seen in Telugu films. I am having two Telugu films in hand which has Nagarjuna in the lead roles. I have accepted these films earlier. Once my call sheet in Tamil films is over, I will definitely act in Telugu films.
There is also news that you are boycotting Telugu films because you are not able to compete with young actresses?
I don’t know what to say about this. Again I am telling that I like Telugu cinema. I love to act in Telugu films. Now I am busy in Tamil films.
Karthi speaks about Saguni
Karthi after completing Saguni is busy with Alex Pandian. When asked Karthi that how his film Saguni has come out, he said, "Very superb. It is a good film. One person comes to solve his personal problem.
In this process he gets strangled with public problems. How he comes out of this and solves his problems is the rest of the story. We have narrated this with action and comedy. There will always be politics around us.
Those who do not do politics will get trapped in politics. For every second every one of us gets trapped in politics. This is the base of this film. This film is about me who journeys from a village to city. Radhika, Mumtaz and Kotta Srinivasa Rao are all wonderful actors. It was challenging for me to act with them.
The height of comedy was in Siruthai. I feel that this film will overtake Siruthai. The reason for this is Santhanam. In the epic Mahabharata, wherever Saguni appears, there will be entertainment. He will not spare anyone. This film will also be like this. So far I have never seen such a shooting spot. It was so gala."

The Hollywood producer approached me seeing my acting as a Tamil actor. I took this as an opportunity and agreed to act in Hollywood film but I will not be a permanent Hollywood actor and stay there. I will continue to act in Tamil films. Tamil cinema only made me grow up. Only this has taken me to Hollywood level.
I will never forget Tamil cinema and audience. I am making Viswaroobam in Tamil and Hindi. At this stage I cannot say that whether there is any difference in the story in these two languages. You will come to know only when the film is released. The title of the Hollywood film is yet to be decided. I am writing the story for my Hollywood film.

This film is not being dubbed in Tamil. This is a direct Tamil film. The story of this film is about twins born confounded. When I heard the story, i found it was very challenging so I accepted it. We have seen these kinds of twins in newspapers and TV channels only.
I have not seen them personally. How difficult it would be for them. There will be so many problems like anatomy and medical problems. There will be many more problems. On the whole this is a tough role.
Many are asking me that whether I am ready for this role. Yes. I don’t want to lie by saying that I had learnt their body language by sitting with them for 10 days. I have only read that how their body language will be. That’s all. There is also a question that whether the twins will come confounded in the film Charulatha. They will come confounded as well as separately. I cannot narrate the whole story. This is a fantastic thriller film."

Matters regarding to my acting and related to that only should be known to the public. I feel like that. News regarding my personal life is unnecessary. I don’t want to speak about that. It is not necessary for others to know about it."

I am proud because I produced Urumi says Prithviraj
Prithviraj said that he was proud because he produced Urumi.
Speaking to the media in Chennai, he said, "Cinematographer Santhosh Shivan approached me and said that he was going to make a film on Vasco Da Gama in Malayalam and whether I can act in it. I immediately gave my nod.
This was supposed to be a high budgeted film and because of this there was shortage of funds. So I became the producer for this good film.
I invested most of the money I had earned. Many warned me but I boldly invested. This film has done well in Tamil also.
This film is being appreciated throughout the world and is also receiving many awards in the film festivals and because of this I am proud as an actor and producer. I will not continue to produce films.
I am planning to take this film to Hindi. After this I will dub it in English. Actors like Arya, Prabhu Deva, Vidhya Balan and Genelia had reduced their salary for the sake of me and the film.
Some refused to take the salary. It is true that I am not acting in Tamil films. I am very clear that I should not act in worst films and that is the reason for this gap."

Paramu who is the head of Surya and Karthi fan associations have written a very interesting song. The song begins with the lines Kandha Kaara Vadai. Karthi has spoken punch dialogues in this song.
Anyone who has the flair for writing lyrics can approach me. I will give opportunity to people based on eligibility and talents. Karthi’s name in the film is Kamalakannan while Santhanam’s name is Appa Rao Rajni.
They will be called as Kamal and Rajni. Many are asking that whether there is a song based on this. There is no song like this. I have composed music for 25 films in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films.
