In Pokkisham, Padmapriya pairs up with Cheran for the second time; they have worked together earlier in Thavamaai Thavamirundu. Padmapriya, who has a penchant to learn new things all the time, has decided to make the most of her participation in a film directed by Cheran, whom she regards highly as a director. Every morning Padmapriya is present on the sets of Pokkisham exactly at 7:00 a.m. - well before her schedule - to assist Cheran in his directorial work.

Speaking about this, Padmapriya said she has always been creatively inclined and always wanted to present her thoughts in a convincing manner. She thinks film direction gives her ample scope to convey her ideas in a better way, and that is the reason she wanted to learn this art. She said that she is quite lucky to be getting an on-the-job training directly from a master of the trade.

This is not something new to Padmapriya as she had been almost an assistant director to Cheran in Thavamaai Thavamirundhu.

Remember that in all his films, Dhanush has done comedy himself or had little known comedians with him. So when Vadivel was signed up in his latest film Padikkathavan it was news. But now the twist in the tale is that Vadivel has been dropped by the unit like a hot potato as “he was too difficult to handle”.

In fact Vadivel, the highest paid comedian ( Rs 7 Lakhs per day!) shot for two days in Hyderabad when he started throwing his weight with director Suraaj. A source close to the unit say that Vadivel was unhappy about the comedy track written for him with Dhanush including a scene which had the hero beating him.

After all, how can the king of comedy get beaten by a young hero when he says that superstars like Rajnikanth and Vijay waits for his dates, pleads with him to come on time and is treated like a hero himself on their sets! It seems on the Padikkathavan sets, Vadivel openly shouted at the director and asked his Chamchas to write his lines, which saw the hero and the unit see red.

And the latest news is that director Suraaj has decided to replace Vadivel with Vivek who is his arch rival. Vivek who is also busy has given immediate dates and is all excited to replace Vadivel and be a part of a Dhanush film for the first time.

The team is sure that Ladam is going to be a path breaking film in Tamil.

Aravindan is the new hero whose tagline in the film’s promos reads, “they called him cockroach”.

Incredibly, the 3D model (designed just like Rajinikanth) would do exactly the same actions that the star performs in the studio.

How does this karate-kicking kid feel about working down south? "My best friend is Tamilian and her mom makes it a point to talk to me in Tamil!” she explains. Returning to her core theme she adds, “The other day, I watched a Tamil film in which a young hero - I don’t remember his name - did a brilliant job as an action hero. That’s the kind of passion that I would like to exhibit in my roles.”

And how did she get into karate in the first place, so unlike a typical model? "As I’m tall, I’ve always been into sports like kabaddi. Most of my friends are into karate and introduced me to it. The last four years have been a journey,” she explains. What does she think about Chennai, the home of Kollywood? “I never expected this sort of wild partying,” she says. “Nightlife in Chennai is much better than Bangalore or Hyderabad.”

While speaking on this matter, Shreya said that she is really happy and excited about her name being discussed for Marmayogi, and like all heroines of Kollywood, she too wants to act alongside Kamal Haasan. She said if she gets to act in Marmayogi, she would achieve the status of having acted with the “Twin Stalwarts” of Kollywood, as she has already acted with Rajinikanth in Sivaji. But Shreya said she is afraid this will not take place as she already has her hands full, juggling with films in Tamil, Hindi, and English (Kanthaswamy in Tamil; Ek and Mission Istanbul in Hindi; The Other End of the Line and What is cooking? in English). She had also signed up a film with Dhanush long ago, the shooting of which will begin in December.

She is not confident that she would be able to accept Marmayogi or any other film at present. She quipped she is looking for a miracle to happen which will enable her to act in Marmayogi despite her overloaded call sheet.

She played the second female lead opposite Shivaraj Kumar in director Naganna’s recently released Kannada film "Bandhu Balaga"."I made a foray into the Tamil film industry after I got married. Now, I am here to work in a Kannada film," she said.Jyothirmayi, who has acted opposite Malayalam superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty, says an actress is just like any other working woman.

"I don’t think that an actress is different from other girls who continue their career after marriage. We also have the same feelings and run our family like any other ordinary person. For an actress, there is nothing wrong in getting married when she is at the peak of her career," she quipped.After doing a diploma in public relations and journalism from the Kerala Press Academy, Jyothirmayi started out as an anchor for Asianet and City Channel. Then she acted in a few serials and walked the ramp as well. Her first big screen venture was the 2000 Malayalam film "Pilot".

Jyothirmayi says that fans have now matured and can differentiate between the personal and professional life of an actress."When I did an item number in ’Idhaya Thirudan’ directed by Sharan, many people thought that audience would not accept an item song from a married actress. And the song became popular.

"I worked as one of the heroines in the recently released film ’Naan Avanillai’ and it was a big hit. My first Tamil film ’Thalainagaram’ was also a big hit. I am happy that the Tamil film industry has whole-heartedly accepted me. I am sure even the Kannada film industry will also accept me."Incidentally, Jyothirmayi has played a character with negative shades in "Bandhu Balaga".

"Yes, the character has some negative shades in the beginning. But finally my role will be much liked by the people. The script is so good that it has provided equal opportunities to all the characters. I am happy to work with such a big star as Shivaraj Kumar in my first Kannada film," the actress said.Jyothirmayi stressed that she shares a good rapport with her husband and that he never interferes in her professional life.

"My husband is a gem of a person. There is a good understanding between us. He realises the expectations of the industry from an actress like me. He never objects to me doing glamorous roles. It’s entirely up to me to accept or reject a role."

It is also heard that Shreya Saran, whose career has been growing phenomenally these days is also looking forward to play the lead in Marmayogi. Shreya got the rare and great opportunity of working with Rajni in Sivaji and is eager to work with Kamal too, by which she would achieve the much-coveted and esteemed status of having acted with the “twin stalwarts” of Kollywood.

It is also rumoured that Kamal Haasan has decided to shoot the war scenes of the movie in Switzerland so that no news about them leaks out, as such a news leak would kill the awe that these scenes could generate when released.

"I still get compliments for my bikini shot in Billa. It’s been a while since its release, but my look in the film has received wide appreciation. I was given an option to wear a one-piece swimsuit if I was not okay with appearing in a bikini. But I was aware that I had the right attitude, so when I wore it for the shot, I was really comfortable. Rumours were there that I was paid a bomb for wearing the bikini, but there"s no truth in it. I will never wear a two-piece for a film again! I’ve done it once and I’m happy the audience accepted me. So if I did it again, I don’t think it’ll remain special. I also believe in doing things just once and I don’t believe in repeating my act," she revealed to a national news paper.

"I’ve been dragged into controversies unnecessarily. So I like to keep to myself and spend time with my family. I do my work, give it my best and head home. Because at the end of the day, it’s your work that matters. I haven’t thought about moving to Bollywood. Work here keeps me busy. When I’m not shooting, I watch films or hang out with friends. I’m very close to Ramya Krishnan and her family. She’s been with me through thick and thin. I like maintaining a balance between work and friends. I’m feeling very content right now and am happy staying down South," she said.
