Villu director changes track!

Prabudeva who is directing the film 'Villu' will be a hero again.

When acting did not get him success, Prabudeva took to directing.  He was lucky that his films were successful. He is one of the leading directors in Telugu cinema.  His first directorial venture 'Pokkiri' was a thumping success.  Now he is directing 'Villu' with Vijay.

But he still longs to be a successful hero.  Now he has got another chance.  He seems to like the story narrated by Ravi Chakravarthy who produced 'Allaudin' with him.  He is likely to take up acting in the film after completion of 'Villu'.

He is also getting many chances to act in Telugu films.  He has got a chance to act in a Tamil film by Thankar Bachan.  So, he has decided to rest from directing films forsome time.  Even while directing films, he may act in films.

It is a good decision and we wish him all the best.

'Varanam Aayiram', 'Aegan' in USA

'Aegan' and 'Varanam Ayiram' are slated for release on the 24th and 28th of October respectively. Latest developments are that Bharat Creations, a leading distributor of Tamil and Telugu films in the United States of America has acquired the distribution rights for these films. Vikram's 'Kandasamy' and Vijay's 'Villu' which would release much later have also been acquired by Bharat Creations.

Both 'Varanam Ayiram' and 'Aegan' are expected to do very well. Suriya is at his best in 'Varanam Ayiram', which chronicles the life of a man from childhood to old age. Suriya has undergone drastic physical changes to portray the physical characteristics associated with youth and middle age. Surya will be seen in dual roles. For director Gautham Menon this is his seventh film and his earlier movie with Suriya "Kaaka Kaaka" turned out to be a major blockbuster. The Gautham Menon - Harris Jayaraj - Suriya team is all set to recreate the magic once again. Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana and Simran co-star with Suriya.

'Aegan' is the debut film for Raju Sundaram as director. The film stars Ajith and is the remake of the successful Hindi movie 'Main Hoon Na'. Nayantara, Navdeep, Suhasini Ratnam, Nassar and Jayaram will also be seen in the film. The combo of Ajith and Nayantara is highly anticipated as both sizzled together in 'Billa'. Ajith - Nayantara - Yuvan Shankar Raja, the people behind 'Billa' are expected to conjure the magic once again with 'Aegan'.

Vijay & Ajith in AVM

Villu team is back from their Euro trip that lasted for about a month. As soon as the crew returned, the next leg of shooting seemed to have begun at AVM Studios. Scenes of Nayantara meeting Vijay in his office, the plush interiors of which were made to reflect an office abroad, were shot. Although the team was in Europe for quite some time, the indoor shoots that demand continuity are to be shot in Chennai.

Interestingly, Ajith has also been spotted these days in the AVM Studios. Aegan is more or less wrapped up completely and is ready for a Diwali release. Post-production works are in full swing and Ajith is busy with the dubbing which would go on for three days, sources mentioned.

Vijay's Villu not for Deepavali

Here is an shocking news for Vijay's fans.  Their hero's movie Villu will be released only for Pongal and not for this Deepavali.

To be noted here is that the producer of Ajith's Aegan, Ayngaran, is producing Vijay's Villu.

While Aegan is complete is getting ready for release the producer decided to release Ajith's movie first.  Lots of work has to be completed for Villu and hence the decision.

Nayantara and Vadivelu Duet Song in Villu

Vijay-Nayantara starrer Villu is moving on at a breakneck speed. The film has garnered huge expectations as the winning combination Vijay and director Prabhu Deva are back together. It may be recalled that their Pokkiri was a smash hit.
The director had filmed a song sequence in which Vadivelu and Asin danced to the tunes of Suttum Vizhi Chudare in Pokkiri, which created a laugh riot among the audience. He once again intends to do the same but this time it's Nayantara who will be shaking her legs with Vadivelu for the song "My name is Billa." This song will be filmed on the floors of AVM Studios.

Nayantara - Aegan Vs Villu

Nayantara and she will tell you about how she discovered that staying on top is harder than getting there. She is a star who not only outlasts her flops but is forgiven for them.

After two consecutive duds like Kuselan and Sathyam (her biggest flop) Nayantara still rules Kollywood. But post Sathyam release, the actress was consciously avoiding the media, refusing to speak about her future moves and has a wall around her.

Recently the media went to town about her salary (rumoured to be between Rs 1.25 to 1.50) which is the highest paypacket any Tamil heroine gets. Kindly discount Aishwarya Rai getting Rs 6 crore to do Endhiran, because it's an exception.

The whole issue of her salary was stirred up after Lingusamy signed her up to do a film at a whopping rate with Karthik. There were rumours that he was not happy about paying her such a fat salary, after Sathyam fiasco and was on the lookout for another heroine.

Says the leading distributor in Tamilnadu: " Nayantara is the only heroine today who commands an opening, as she is able to attract the youth and family audiences. Her combination with superstars work wonders for the film. But if the story of the film is weak no superstar or super heroine can save the film. "In a way, Nayantara makes the marketing of Aegan and Villu easier for its producers Ayngaran International. Of course the success of these two films will determine whether she gets another round with them.

Vijay is afraid of Nayantara

Vijay's most expected Villu is to hit the screen for Pongal 2009.  Vijay is starring with Nayantara and Vijay is worried a lot about the luck of his pair.

Almost majority of Nayantara movies are failing in box office and none of the movie which projected and advertised a lot about Nayantara is sure for flop.  Example:  Kuselan and Sathyam

Vijay is said to be advising his producer not to highlight much on Nayantara.
