Ramesh Kanna follows Vadivelu's footsteps

After Vadivelu made huge success with the 21 Pulakesi movie, many comedians in Kollywood followed him and have experimented with hero roles.

Now Ramesh Kanna is all set to follow his footsteps and is trying to see his luck in a hero’s role.

But there is a small difference between him and other comedians turned heroes. He will direct himself in this film!

He will take care of the story, screenplay and the direction of this upcoming movie! Incidentally this is not the first time that he is directing a film. he has already directed Ajith’s Thondarum movie.

IlayaThalapathy Vijay thanks Asin

As Vijay’s 51st movie Kaavalan is nearing completion, the producers seem to have decided to dispel the confusions involving its title. As a result, a ‘title introduction’ event was held this evening at the GRT Grand Days Hotel, Chennai. The event was attended by producer Ramesh Babu, Vadivelu, Vijay, Asin, cameraman Egambaram, director Siddique and financier Anbuchezhian. The event saw speeches from the movie’s cast and the director himself.

Vadivelu, who came first, had only praises for Siddique. “Although I have heard a lot of stories and acted in a number of movies, this film is special to me. I am sure this film will be a milestone in Vijay and Asin’s career,” he said. He also mentioned that there is nobody quite like Siddique when it comes to action comedy. “If he doesn’t find any part unconvincing, he will ask us to take a break and practice,” he added. He also requested Siddique to direct at least one movie in Tamil every year.

Asin, in her brief address, wanted Kaavalan, her 3rd film with Vijay, to be a hatrick. “I have always wanted to be part of a sweet, simple and clean love story. Having watched Siddiques films since I was a kid, this is like a dream come true for me to act in his film,” she said. Incidentally, this is also Asin’s 3rd film with Vadivelu.

Vijay delved into the title hullabaloo in his speech recalling the troubles the movie has had since its inception. “We wanted Kaavalkaran but couldn’t acquire the title. Before we named the movie, everybody was quoting Kaaval Kadhal and we finally settled with Kaavalan,” he said. He expressed thanks to Asin for having extracted time from Bollywood, after her 3 year break in Tamil movies, to be a part of Kaavalan.

Siddique was rather reticent in the evening and spoke only a few words, thanking the crew for their cooperation, requesting similar support in the future.

Meghna Sundar says that she is very big fan of Vadivelu

Meghna Sundar who did the female lead role in the film Kadhal Solla Vandhen says that she will not get sleep until she sees a person. Who is that person? It is our Vadivelu.

She is fanatic fan of Vadivelu. She will not go to sleep without seeing Vadivelu’s comedy. Even if she misses it for a day, she feels that she has lost something.

Meghna while speaking about this said,” I love Vadivelu sir comedies very much. I will not miss even a single comedy by Vadivelu.

After coming back for the shooting I will not go to sleep without watching Vadivelu’s comedy. If I miss his comedy scenes I will feel very miserable. I am an ardent fan of him.

Of all his comedies, I like the comedy scenes in the film Winner. Whenever I see the comedy of this film, I will laugh till my stomach aches.”

Vadivelu’s advocate made an appeal to a Sessions Court

Vadivelu’s advocate on Friday made an appeal to a Sessions Court Judge in Chennai not to grant anticipatory bail to the actor’s one-time close aide Singamuthu in a threat case.

Vadivelu and Singamuthu who had worked together in several films have been accusing each other over buying of a property. A complaint was also registered at Chennai Crime Branch and investigations are on.

And a case is reportedly pending before Metropolitan Magistrate Court at Saidapet. Meanwhile Singamuthu, according to reports, filed an anticipatory bail plea with a Sessions Court in Chennai.

When the petition came up for hearing Friday, counsel for Singamuthu stated that all allegations levelled against him were false. However, Vadivelu’s counsel Paul Kanagaraj denied the charges and said the bail plea should be rejected.

Many directors are planning to cast him as a hero in a film. But Vadivelu did not permit this. He was telling that his son can act at the appropriate time. Now Vadivelu has mentioned that the time has come and has decided to introduce his son as a hero. Vadivelu is currently listening to stories from various directors to make his son as a hero. So he is waiting for a good story. Vadivelu while speaking to the media about this said,” My son Subramani has an interest to act in films. I am in search of a story which would be suitable for him. I am listening to stories from three directors. I think that one of these stories would be suitable for him. Instead of being a comedian like me, he will be introduced as a hero in a film which has acting, comedy, romance and action. I am handing over my son to the people of Tamil Nadu. They will take care of him.
Now I am busy running forward. Let him chase me and catch me. I am really proud that I am handing over my son to the people of Tamil Nadu when my market is good.”

During the recent raids on Vadivelu, the Income Tax department stumbled on the fact that the comedian has purchased property worth several crores that turned out to be forgeries.

Now Vadivelu has accused his friend and associate Singamuthu who used to appear with him in comedy tracks of cheating him of several crores of rupees by forging property documents and threatening him with dire consequences.
On Tuesday Vadivelu personally lodged a complaint with Chennai Police Commissioner T Rajendran seeking action against Singamuthu and others who had allegedly cheated him in connection with the purchase of land.
Says Vadivelu: “I came to know that these were forged documents only after the IT raids Singamuthu had helped me identify and buy some of these properties which were sold to me using forged documents."
Vadivelu added that like in many of his films he ended up looking like a fool.

Comedy star Santhanam will replace Vadivelu in Guru Sishyan with the latter walking out of the project.
It was initially publicised that Vadivelu’s performance would be one of the highlights of the film. However, Vadivelu opted out of the film, alleging that no scenes were shot on him even months after the commencement of the shoot.
Following this, Santhanam has inducted into the team by director-producer Shakthi Chidambaram; music is by Dheena. With Sundar C. and Sathyaraj in lead roles, the film, though inspired by the title of a Rajinikanth hit, is not a remake. Guru Sishyan does have a remix song 'Vangaonn' from Bhadrakali.

Poonam Bajwa once again joins Jeeva in Katcheri Arambam

Poonam Bajwa who is pairing with Jeeva in the film Katcheri Arambam said,” Most of the scenes pertaining to me have been completed. This is not the usual heroine role.

This is the first time I am doing a role like this. In the first half I will be donning a different kind of role and in the second half I will be doing the just opposite role. I cannot say at this stage whether that role will be a negative one.

I had paired with Jeeva in Thennavattu and for the second time I am pairing with Jeeva in this film. Our pair has been received well among the audience. Even in this film the chemistry has worked out well. This film is not out and out action film but it also has comedy and sentiments.

Vadivelu is doing the comedy part. I am also acting with Vishnu in the film Drohi. There is a condition that I should not speak about Drohi so I am not in a position to speak about this film.”
