Jayam Ravi celebrates his birthday today

Jayam Ravi, who celebrates his birthday today, is currently busy with Prabhu Deva's Ich and Ameer's Aadhi Bhagavan. After debuting in Jayam, Ravi gained a new identity – Jayam Ravi and ever since, he has been marching successfully in Kollywood. His brother Raja directed him in Jayam, which was produced by his father Mohan, a famous film editor. After that, Ravi, a trained martial artist and dancer, churned out hit after hit like M. Kumaran s/o..., Mazhai and Unakkum Enakkum. And this tall broad-shouldered actor marched ahead with Santosh Subramaniam, Dhaam Dhoom and Peranmai.

Cloud Nine may change the title of Jeyamravi's Ich

Two films with fancy small titles are contemplating how that will be received. One is Pushkar-Gayatri directed ‘Va- Quarter Cutting’ and the other is Prabhu Deva directed ‘Ich’. Both films are backed by reputed banners, Cloud Nine Movies and AGS Entertainers respectively.

While speaking at the audio launch function of ‘Va- Quarter Cutting’, Dhayanidhi Alagiri of Cloud Nine Movies categorically said the title of the film is only ‘Va’ and Quarter Cutting’ is just a tag line. He also said ‘Va’ is a clear Tamil title and hoped it will pass through all stipulation and regulations (Read tax exception for Tamil titles).

For the Prabhu Deva directed ‘Ich’ there may be a decision soon to change the title. Apparently people feel the ‘Jayam’ Ravi and Hansika Motwani starrer title is not Tamil enough for obvious reasons. What could be the new tile? Sources say they have a long but catchy title ‘Ennai Vittu Odi Poga Mudiyuma’ under consideration. We like it.

Both the films are at the final stages and will hit the theatres this year. ‘Va’ had its music release last week and ‘Ich’ is all complete but for two songs.

Jayam Ravi's Ich name to change as Cards

The music scores have been almost complete and the audio is expected to be launched during the month of September.

Ich is in the last final leg of shooting schedule and a name change is on cards say sources close to the film unit.

Jeyam ravi - Hansika's Ich movie shooting has completed

Prabhu Deva's directorial venture Ich, starring Jayam Ravi and Hansika Motwani in the lead roles, has completed its final shooting schedule recently. The first schedule was delayed due to some untimely rain, and the whole cast and crew worked overtime to make up for the lost time.

"The shoot in Paris was unforgettable. The character I play in the film is probably one that is closest to my heart. Lolitha, as the hero Ravi calls me in the film, is funny, feisty and very now. The mood on the sets and its extended shoot in some of the beautiful locations in Paris has been nothing but fun and that's exactly what the film is all about," Hansika said to a leading daily

Though the name of the character Hansika Motwani playing in ‘Ich’, directed by Prabhudeva, is Lalitha, ‘Jayam’ Ravi, the protagonist of the film would call her Lolitha throughout the movie.

“There is a specific reason behind his calling me Lolitha and you would know it once the film gets released,” the actress, who has returned from Paris after completing the shoot of the movie, says.

Happy about bagging promising projects in Tamil, she says, “I am thrilled that my first three films in Kollywood are with three big stars- Ravi, Dhanush and Vijay. All of them are very cooperative and helpful.”

She adds: “While ‘Ich’ is a romantic entertainer, both ‘Mappillai’ and ‘Velayudham’ are mass movies, which would appeal to all sections of the audience. I am waiting with excitement for the release of these films.”

“It is learnt that the entire song will be shot in Paris. “It’s a soft, romantic song which will be shot over seven days. Kat, who admires Prabhu Deva as a choreographer and a director is keen to work with him, and is rearranging her dates to fit in his film. She has in the past done a couple of Telugu films but this is the first time that she will be doing a Tamil film.”
