Vaanam audio launch in London on October 15

Looks like Superstar's Enthiran has already created a new trend in Kollywood, i.e. having audio launches abroad. The next to follow the trend is Sumbu's Vaanam, remake of the Telugu super hit Vedam.

The film's music launch will be held in London on October 15. According to Vaanam's music director Yuvanshankar Raja, all the songs in the film are peppy and will surely rock the charts. The story evolves around five people, who meet in the climax of the film, due to unforeseen circumstances.

Vaanam also has Anushka, Bharath, Vega, Prakashraj, Sonia Aggarwal, Jayaprakash and Ganesh in prominent roles. The film is expected to grace theatres in December.

Anushka has huge hope about Vaanam

Be it a bikini or traditional wear, Anushka always sizzles. With her performance in Arundhati and Vedam, this talented actress proved that she is not just a pretty face. Now the actress is currently busy with Vaanam (Tamil remake of Vedam) alongside Simbu and Bharath. Interestingly Anushka plays the role of a sex worker in Vaanam, which has five different stories with one common climax.

According to the actress, the Tamil version is going to better as the script has been changed according the suit the tastes of Tamil audiences.

Is Vaanam Movie title changed?

‘Vaanam’, a multistarrer which has STR (Simbu), Bharath and Sneha Ullal among others playing lead roles, may go for a title change, say sources in the know.

The film, a remake of Tollywood hit ‘Vedam’ is directed by Krish, who made the Telugu original too. It is based on the lives of five youngsters and Simbu is playing Cable Raja, a cable TV operator.

“Since the makers of the film feel that the title is not catchy, they are seriously thinking about renaming the movie. A list of titles is being worked out and a decision would be made soon,” say sources.

Interestingly, it may be recalled that Simbu too has changed his name recently. He has asked his fans to call him STR henceforth, the short form of his full name Silambarasan Thesingu Rajendran.

Siddharth says Putham Pudhu Kaalai movie likes Telugu Vedam

The crew members of multilingual actor Siddharth’s new film 180 (Putham Pudhu Kaalai in Tamil), directed by Siddharth's mentor P. Jayendra and produced by Kiran under the banner of SPL Cinemas and Agal Films, held a media briefing at Hotel Taj Deccan, Hyderabad. Hero Siddharth, heroines Nitya Menon, Praya Anand, Jayendra, Kiran and others took part in the meet.

While talking about the film, actor Siddharth said that 180 is like Vedam and Prasthanam. "At present, films like Vedam and Prasthanam are making waves in the industry. I too want to do such a film. This script (180) really comes under that genre. Apart from the regular features which the audiences wish to see in my films, 180 would tread the path of Vedam and Prasthanam. Now, I have variety in my film, for which I always vied. I hope this film would entertain both Telugu and Tamil audiences," he said.

Director Jayendra said: "It is a complete romantic entertainer. The story would unfold in Hyderabad and would proceed to the US. It is a city-based love story. We are doing it simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil with the same title. The regular shoot of the film has already commenced."

Mamtha Mohandas feels bad for not acting in Vedam movie

Mamtha Mohandas is dejected. She missed a life opportunity of acting in the recent Telugu super hit film ‘Vedam’. It was Mamtha who was first approached by the producers to play the role which Anushka played later.

Mamtha did not show interest in the film because her recent Telugu films were very ordinary and more over she was gaining more popularity as a singer than as an actress in Tollywood. While the reputation as a singer was growing Mamtha felt playing the role of a sex worker at this stage may hamper her growth as a play back singer. All these made her to stay away from ‘Vedam’.

Now that ‘Vedam’ is a super duper hit and Anushka has moved many places up the number Mamtha regrets her judgment. She has more reason to worry as ‘Vedam’ is now being remade in Tamil with the same Anushka and Silambarasan by the big banner Super Good Films.
