Ayngaran International has decided to take a gamble and release their long delayed Vasantha Balan directed Angadi Theru for Pongal.
After his critically acclaimed Veyil was screened at the Cannes in 2007, a lot is expected from Vasantha Balan’s new film. The film has newcomers in the lead.

The film's dialogues are written by the famous novelist Jayamohan, and music is by G V Prakash. In an earlier interview Vasantha Balan had said: "Angadi Theruvu has emotions, love and a lot of human feelings. Just like every house has a tale to tell, so does every street, hence the title.”

Cold war between Lakshmi Rai and Padmapriya
It seems there is cold war between Lakshmi Rai and Padmapriya. Both of them had a clash in the sets of Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam with regard to who is talented.
Simbhu Devan who had earlier directed Imsai Arasan which had Vadivelu in the lead is directing this film. Lawrence is doing the lead role. This film is a cowboy story. All the actors and actresses are adorning cowboy costumes.
Padmapriya and Lakshmi Rai are also starring in this film. Both of them were constantly telling that they are the heroines of this film. This statement has led to difference of opinion between them. So, both of them had almost tortured the director by telling him that their role should have more significance.
The director was really in a tough position to compromise them. Padmapriya had remarked, “The whole country who have seen Mirugam, Thavamai Thavamirundhu and Pokkisham knows about my acting skill. Can she act like me?” This remark had reached the ears of Lakshmi Rai.
She got wild and quipped that she was more talented than Padmapriya. But somehow Simbhu Devan was able to keep the situation under control and has successfully completed the shooting. It is also important to note that Sandhya is also one of the heroines in this film.
The cold war between the two was very much felt during the audio launch of this film. Lakshmi Rai use to come in glamorous dress for these kinds of functions. In order to contend with her Padmapriya for the first time came in glamorous attire.

2009 best Actress in Kollywood
In Tamil films, where heroes are either super humans or superstars, there is no place for talented actresses. Heroines are just used to add glamour to the film.
Last year, the woman-centric film Poo gave Parvathy ample opportunity to showcase her talent. But this year, we only have Ananda Thandavam, where the heroine is the mainstay of the film.
Here are the actresses who have really impressed us this year.
Tamanna
Films: Ayan, Kanden Kathalai, Ananda Thandavam
Undoubtedly, 2009 belonged to Tamann. From the way filmmakers are lining up behind her, she will be the most sought after actress in 2010 as well.
The top slot, which was vacant when Asin shifted to Bollywood and Nayantara to Telugu cinema, has now been taken over by Tamannah. With Ayan -- the biggest hit of 2009 -- Tamannah has truly arrived.
The superhit was followed by the Tamil remake of Jab We Met, Kanden Kathalai. Tamannah made the character her own, and no one compared her to Jab We Met heroine Kareena Kapoor.
But she was the most impressive in Ananda Thandavam, the film adaptation of Sujatha's novel Pirivom Sandipom. As Madhumita, Tamannah showed that she could be innocent and cunning at the same time. It was the best performance of the year.
