After his successful debut movie ‘Sillunu Oru Kadhal’, director Krishna is all set start his next venture. Publicized as a musical, this film will star Richard, Keerat and Gayatri in the lead roles.

Sathya, will be the music director of the movie and has already recorded five songs for the movie. The shoot of the movie will be starting from February 6th and is expected to wind up by May. This film will be shot exclusively at Ooty, this film will mainly target the young crowds.

This film will be produced under Krishna’s home banner ‘Motherlands and White Field’.

Krishna who is the relative of Sivakumar and Suriya was associate director in Kaaka Kaaka and also played a cameo in Minnale as a lorry driver who quarrels with Vivek at a traffic stop.

The shooting of superstar Rajinikanth starrer ‘Kuselan’ will start on February 15 in Chennai. Rajini, who is expected to return from Himalayas by the second week of February, will come to the sets soon after his return.

The choice of the heroine and other details are expected to be announced during the first week of February.

The movie, directed by P. Vasu, is a remake of Malayalam movie titled ‘Katha Parayumbol’. The story revolves around the friendship between a superstar and a hairdresser. Pasupathy plays the role of the friend.

Interestingly Rajini’s role is said to be reflecting his own life. He is believed to play his real life character as Rajinikanth.

P. Vasu is meticulously working to make necessary changes to suit Tamil and Telugu audiences, as the movie will be a bilingual project.

1. Pirivoam Sandhipoam: Directed by Karu Palaniappan, the film deals with the bonding of a woman with the new relations she finds after marriage life. She gets more and more attached to them and it’s a topsy-turvy situation when she along with her husband has to move for a different place. Cheran and Sneha on the lead roles have done a wonderful job and Jayaraman does a cool job…

2. Pidichirukku: A low budget movie making good results among the audiences who liked this movie. The film has a simple storyline of romance genre but that’s quite entertaining.

3. Pazhani: Bharath comes up with a different action role and credits goes to Perarasu for depicting him differently. Kajol Agarwal doesn’t make up to the expectations while Kushboo wins the laurels. The film has all entertaining factors and this would be a movie to kill your time.

4. Bheema: Vikram starrer Bheema has been of great expectations right from the beginning movie was launched before couple of years. The film brings us with new dimension of action stunts and spine chilling climax. Two best reasons why you should watch this movie is the excellent performances of Vikram and Prakash Raj along with good direction by Lingusamy. On the other hand, we have two reason why you shouldn’t watch it, the story and more violence….

5. Kaalai: Tarun Gopi had raised great expectations with the success of his previous flick Thimiru, but its disappointing when you watch the movie. Simbhu tries to make good presentation and succeeds in it. The film could have fetched good credits if it had been shaped with better handling of script and powerful screenplay.

6. Vaazthugal: Despites sharing same backgrounds of family set-ups as that of Pirivoam Sandipoam, Vaazthugal fails to top the chart with dragging screenplay. Madhavan should now stop coming up chocolate-boy roles and opt for some unique roles as he had done in Evano Oruvan. Seeman does a good job in direction, but few dialogues were excellent and that others were annoying….

Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan will now join hands with the Walt Disney Productions, who are expected to produce his forthcoming film ‘Marma Yogi’.

Walt Disney Productions, which recently tied up with Yash Raj Films for a full-length animated feature film called ‘Roadside Romeo’, wants to expand its operations across the country. So they have decided to start a venture with the versatile actor cum filmmaker.

The Kamal-Walt Disney venture will be co-produced by Bharath Bala, who produced A. R. Rahman’s patriotic music video Vande Mataram. ‘Marma Yogi’ will also bring Kamal and Rahman together after a long gap.

’Marma Yogi’ will be a period film, set in the seventh century, which will have erstwhile Bollywood heartthrob Hema Malini.

Kamal and Hema Malini had earlier teamed up in ‘Hey Ram’. Asin, the heroine of ‘Dasavadharam’, will play a key role. The film will probably be directed by Kamal Haasan.

’Marma Yogi’ is the title of one of MGR's blockbusters (1951), which happened to be the first Tamil film to receive an 'A' certificate. Kamal has earlier done a movie with the title of another MGR film (Sathi Leelavathi, MGR’s maiden venture as hero, which came in 1936).

‘Marma Yogi’ is said to be one of the costliest films ever made in India with a budget of Rs. 90 crore. Kamal will shortly go to the US to discuss the production of this film, which is slated to be shot in Thailand. The shooting might get started by February.

Director Shankar’s dream project Robot which is reported to be a mega budgeted venture, never before heard in Tamil film industry, will take off after the Boss wraps up Kuselan. Meanwhile rumours are rife that Shankar has flown to Mumbai to hold talks with former Miss World Aishwarya Rai to cast her as the female lead for super star in Robot.

Readers may recall that Ms Rai was one of the top line choices for heroine in Sivaji. But due to date problems, she could not sign on the dotted line earlier.

Sources also reveal that Shankar may be successful this time in getting a positive reply from Ash as Rajnikanth shares a special rapport with her father-in-law Big B who might influence her decision. Discussions are on and we will keep you posted…

Kaalai movie stars Silambarasan, Vedhika and Nila in the lead roles. Kaalai is directed by Tharun Gopi who gave the super hit Thimiru with Vishal earlier. The cinematography is by R.D.

Kushboo dons the role of the sister, while Bharath plays the brother. Kajal Agarwal plays the lady love and Biju Menon, M.S.

Latest on 'Robot': Earlier we reported that Nayantara is in the reckoning for ‘Robot’. The girl, who has acted with the superstar twice, is believed to be quite interested to grab this opportunity.

After ‘Sathyam’ with Vishal, Nayantara has signed up for a movie produced by Ayngaran, featuring Vijay in the lead.

The only hiccup for the actor is that ‘Robot’ requires more dates than she gives for any film - almost double.

The initial buzz over ‘Sivaji’ put Trisha on race and so is the case with ‘Robot’ as well. Trisha has handful of movies at present in Tamil and Telugu. By the time the shooting for ‘Robot’ starts (most probably by July), she would have finished all her commitments. The grapevine says she might be lucky enough to get chance to act in ‘Robot’.

Meanwhile, it is also rumored that the ‘Robot’ team is contemplating with the idea of going with Shriya again. Since she is also doing a Hollywood movie, her presence might bring in more business in international centers.

Earlier, there was a buzz that Deepika Padukone, the latest sensation in Bollywood, would be roped in. The team has neither denied nor confirmed the news. Her successful maiden venture ‘Om Shanthi Om’ has propelled her into stardom overnight. Her inclusion would definitely enhance the business in Hindi belt and in international centers.

The team is now working on the script and shooting of the film is expected to be started from July. Writer Sujatha, Shankar’s long term team mate, will be in the team. Now the story discussion is going on.

It is almost confirmed that Shankar has booked the young and happening cinematographer Nirav Shah.
