Johnny would like do a breezy love story next

Renigunta’s box office collection and rave reviews are keeping the director and the hero busy these days. Director Panneerselvam has left for Andhra and will soon start the process of directing the VIP starlet soon. On the other hand hero Johnny is held up hearing scripts for his next.

We called-up to the young talent and enjoyed the soothing rain song of ‘Renigunta’ before we heard his hello. We started off the chat by asking about his plans, the actor shared, “It’s my dad who is choosing the scripts for me. He will filter the scripts and then it comes to me for my opinion. I’ve heard 10 scripts as of now and I’ve chosen to do a breezy love story next and that’s my dad’s guidance too. My dad has advised me that, it’s a smarter choice to avoid action subjects so early in my career.

“My dad has a great envisioning power and he can give a fresh dimension to a script and enhance it so well. My dad has a lot of assistant directors as his friends and they come to discuss and enhance their script with my dad’s idea too,” shared Johnny who is all praises about this dad…

Renigunta director Paneerselvam joins Tamanna in 18 Vayasu

Renigunta’s director Paneerselvam is all set to direct 18 Vayasu, which is touted to be a short term project. Soon after completing this venture, the director will move on to a Telugu film. The yet-to-be-named film will be produced by Bellamkonda Suresh.
Once again, Paneerselvam has decided to work with newbies. This time around, he has roped in Rohit, nephew of former Chief Minister of Andhra, Mr Chandrababu Naidu. There are also discussions to sign up Tammannah to star opposite him.
But, with a bag full of offers from various quarters it is still not clear if the lady will accept it or not. Shakthi will wield the camera and Mani Sarma will score the music for this film.

Renigunta rejected by the censors

The controversial Tamil film Renigunta which was to release as per schedule this Friday (Nov 27) has been refused a censor certificate by the Regional Censor Board in Chennai for “showing violent and gruesome scenes enacted by children in graphic detail.”

The film as per sources in the industry has now been referred to the Revising Committee in Mumbai. The subject of Renigunta is highly controversial as it shows children turning into contract killers.

The film directed by Panneerselvam and produced by Mahendra Kumar Jain has newcomers like Johnny, Sanusha, Nishanth and Sandeep.
