The newspaper reports- “The shooting for Viswaroopam was to start from the first week of June but the plan was squashed when director Selvaraghavan walked out of the project.

A source close to Sonakshi is also quoted as saying -"Sonakshi was extremely professional, while explaining her case to Kamal . There is no animosity between Kamal Haasan and Sonakshi.""

On what he gifted Ranjini after their engagement Karthi said: "It was an i- phone which was useful for me too, as I wanted to chat and talk to her everyday".
The Karthi invitation to the media is only for the wedding reception at a five star hotel in Chennai on July 7. The actor's marriage is to take place at Coimbatore on July 3.

Kajal Agarwal is a kollywood heroine!
Posted by RSK on 10:44 AM
Lately, there were so many rumours about actress Kajal Agarwal in connection with her alleged comment that she never considered herself to be a South Indian actress as she is a North Indian by birth. Though she subsequently issued her clarification, explaining that her comment, which appeared in a Mumbai tabloid, was misquoted by the media, the actress still cannot believe all this happened to her!
She said that she has no idea from where all these rumours started and was upset on hearing that South Indian film fraternity wanted to ban her. "I will never be disrespectful to the Telugu and Tamil film industry. I have been brought up to respect my roots. And my roots are in Tollywood and Kollywood. So I'm really hurt and angry that someone has started this whole 'ban' issue without as much as bothering to speak to me.''
Kajal flashes fire as she says, "I have not heard from any association nor have I heard from any one of consequence wanting to ban me because I guess everyone responsible and in a position of power knows the real truth. I have had super success in Magadheera, Maaveran, Mr. Perfect and with the grace of God, my career in the South is going upward. Why would I wish to give up something so good?'' The actress also maintained that she would do Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films simultaneously and there is no question of choosing one over the other.
