Vijay,Ileana liplock in Nanban?
Posted by RSK on 10:48 AM
"It is a long liplock scene which was well received by the audience. But it may not be retained in the Tamil version. Even if it is there, it would be shot in a way that you miss it if you blink," sources close to the unit say.
'3 Idiots' is being Tamilised by Shankar as 'Nanban', with Vijay, Srikanth and Jeeva playing the lead roles. Ileana is the heroine, while Sathyaraj plays her father. Music is scored by Harris Jayaraj.
"Nanban is getting shape fast. Shankar has made some slight changes to the script to make it appeal to the Tamil audience. There may even be a fight sequence to satisfy Vijay fans. But we are not sure about it," sources say further.

Amsterdam is one of Shankar's favourite locations, especially the Tulip Gardens, 'discovered' first by Yash Chopra, in the famous Silsila song.
Shankar has done even better during the 'Flower Festival of the Keukenhof Gardens' in full bloom with tulips and other flowers making it a riot of colour on screen for the Kumari, Kumari song in Anniyan. The song featured Vikram and Sada, with Vivek in the background.
Now Shankar and Harris Jayaraj the Anniyan composer have come out with a peppy melody which will be picturised on Vijay and Ileana in Amsterdam and partly in Zurich in Switzerland.

Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan requires a whopping Rs. 100 crores!
Posted by RSK on 11:50 AM
Ace director Mani Ratnam's proposed Tamil-Telugu bilingual period drama (titled Ponniyin Selvan in Tamil and tentatively titled Veerudu in Telugu), starring Mahesh Babu and Tamil heroes Vijay, Arya and Anushka, has been reportedly shelved.
According to sources, the film has been put on hold due problems in finding the funds. The film requires a whopping Rs. 100 crores, it is said.
After the financial failure of Raavan (Raavanan in Tamil), which was also made with a huge budget, corporate houses are showing no interest in spending huge amounts on a risky subject like Ponniyin Selvan, it is heard.
Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan dropped?

Rumormongers in Kollywood say that Ponniyin Selvan may be dropped. Though the reason for this is not out, the rumors are getting strong day by day. At a stage when all the actors and actresses were said to be finalized, this comes as surprise to many. Also director Mani Ratnam went on a tour recently to scout for locations to shoot this trilingual.
Vijay and Mahesh Babu were roped in to play the male leads while Anushka and Priyanka Chopra were touted to be their onscreen pairs, it may be recalled. Let’s wait for an official announcement on this project.
Nanban team spotted at Skywalk mall..!
Posted by RSK on 8:10 PM
The shoot had to be held in the midst of tight security as a huge crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars. Shankar was very strict and sent crew members around to issue instructions to the crowd. Onlookers were asked not to use their cameras or video recorders.
Vijay did the scenes like the consummate professional he is and took only three takes to perfect the shot. Ileana had a little more difficulty as she struggled with her Tamil but in the end, the director was satisfied.
Harris Jayaraj is almost finished with the music and the audio will be released soon.

Simbu,Vijay celebrating Jai’s birthday
Posted by RSK on 8:29 AM
Jai was shooting on his birthday (April 6) with Simbu for Vettai Mannan at Binny Mills near Chennai airport.
Ilayathalapathy Vijay too was shooting on an adjoining set action scenes for his Velayudham.
STR and Jai were shooting some deadly action scenes using seven cameras and 60 stuntmen. Suddenly STR realized it was Jai birthday and wanted to cut a cake.
STR thought of inviting Ilayathalapathy, but he was a little hesitant as he doubted whether the star would come. Remember that STR and Jai are big supporters of 'Thala' Ajith ?
When Vijay came to know about STR's dilemma, he immediately said he is coming over "to celebrate Jai's birthday".
All of them had a blast and the loudest clap was when Vijay gave a piece of the cake to his look-alike Jai.
Shankar’s Nanban for Diwali!
Posted by RSK on 11:54 AM
Shankar is working at record speed to wrap up Nanban. He has already completed two schedules and is planning on maintaining the same speed for the third schedule which is due to begin soon. The super-successful director usually takes a long time to complete his films as he is very particular about detailing and also has a tendency to re-shoot extensively.
But given that Nanban is a multi-starrer with big stars like Vijay and Telugu sensation Ileana who are also involved in other projects and have limited dates, Shankar is working at a fast and furious pace in order to avoid date hassles and other complications.
Insiders say that the director is urging Harris Jayaraj to give him all the songs quickly so that the audio launch can be held in September making a Diwali release possible. Two songs have been completed and Harris is working round the clock to finish the rest of the music. Will Nanban explode in theatres on Diwali? We certainly hope so.

Tollywood heartthrob Mahesh Babu is hitting the headlines often after associating himself with Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan'. The mega budget multi starrer flick is in the race with Rajinikanth's 'Rana' for letting out news frequently.

Hansika Motwani’s sweetest friend?
Posted by RSK on 9:43 AM
Hansika Motwani has found a new friend and she is all smiles about it. “He is the sweetest friend I have ever had,” says the actress on Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay, with whom she is sharing the screen space in ‘Velayudham’.
“We are having a great time on the sets of ‘Velayudham’ directed by ‘Jayam’ Raja. Vijay is very co-operative and so down-to-earth,” says the actress, who is expecting three big releases in Kollywood.
Apart from ‘Velayudham’, her forthcoming movies in Tamil include the Dhanush-starrer ‘Maappillai’ and ‘Jayam’ Ravi-starrer ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ (both to be released by market leader Sun Pictures).
“It is not easy for a budding actress to bag three meaty offers even before her first release. In that case, I consider myself very lucky,” says the chirpy girl, who is a name to reckon with in Tollywood and Bollywood.

Vijay like to act in films like ‘Raja Chinna Roja’!
Posted by RSK on 10:18 AM
Actor Vijay has become No.1 again. In a recent poll conducted amongst Tamil film buffs across the globe, Vijay has made a record of 47% Vijay followed by Ajith Kumar 38%, Rajnikanth 9% and Suriya with 6%. The actor recently happened to meet journalists for a press meet, which indeed was almost like SOS meeting. When journalists questioned him on politics, he kindly requested them not to point out any questions over the arena.
The actor said, “I am really thankful for my fans for being so patient and welcoming me with the good results. Now my complete focus is towards Velayudham and I am exerting my earnest efforts to make it a successful movie. I would like to act in films like Superstar Rajnikanth’s ‘Raja Chinna Roja’ that is meant for children. These days, Agriculture has been reduced to core. I am looking to be a part of such movie that enhances the importance of Agriculture.”
