“Arya will reach greater heights than Vishal and Karthi”

Director Lingusamy is known for giving several hits in the past, particularly with Vishal (Sanda Kozhi), Madhavan (Run) and Karthi (Paiyya). He is now directing Vettai for which he had roped in Arya as the lead star.

To a question on why he chose Arya for the role, Lingusamy had said that Arya had always wanted to be a part of his project and Vettai seemed to be the right choice. The director added that he had no doubt that Arya would reach greater heights than Vishal, Madhavan and Karthi.

Vettai is being produced by Durai Dayanidhi for Cloud Nine and Yuvan Shankar Raja will score the music.

Yes you read that right. Action hero and playboy Vishal has confessed in his blog he hasn’t been sleeping much as he used to.

Talking about the loss of sleep, Vishal reveals that he is preoccupied about movies always and his desire to become a director is fast pulling him in. Coming to a solution to get some peaceful sleep, Vishal has identified a problem stating that his mind doesn’t listen to his body and vice versa.

Bala Avan Ivan actress is Nivedita

Bala is up and running with his not-so-serious comic caper Avan Ivan starring Arya and Vishal in the lead. While he seems to have finalized the rest of the cast, the coveted heroine position was up for grabs until now.

According to sources, Bala has zeroed down on Nivedita, an actress whose previous credits include Kadhai and Porkkalam. Although both the movies bombed at the BO, let’s hope Bala’s faith in Nivedita does not fall short.

It is worth a mention here that Bala had already signed up Janani Iyer as one of the two heroines.

According to the sources, Vishal has almost shaven his head with thick beard, which faintly reminiscences Surya’s looks in Nanda. The actor has been avoiding invitations for social events so as to keep away from public glare. It seems that director Bala has insisted him not to reveal his looks until the film’s shooting are completed. Meanwhile, buzz is that Aarya’s non-punctuality has stalled the shooting and Bala has returned to Chennai. Sources from both the ends remain closemouthed pertaining to the sudden halt of filming.

The first shot was taken on Vishal, as Arya will be joining the shoot a few days later as he is busy with Boss Engira Baskaran shoot with Nayanthara in Chennai.

Bala is hoping to complete Avan Ivan in two schedules and under 100 days of shoot. But the big question being asked in Kollywood is will Bala a director who takes a long time to shoot, complete the film on schedule?

Debut heroin Janani Iy in Bala Avan Evan

National award winning director Bala is starting the shoot of his next film called Avan Evan with Vishal and Arya. The film has a new heroine a Tamil girl Janani Iyer.

Janani said: “I am a Chennai girl born and brought up here and studied at D AV School at Gopalapuram. Then I did my computer science course from Savitha Engineering College. Avan Evan is my first film. But I have done modelling for over 150 ads including national and regional ones.
Jananini always wanted to be an actor as it is her passion in life. So how did she land this film with Bala? “Director Vijay (Poi Solla Porum) is like my guru and he told me that Bala sir was looking for a new face for his film. So I tried my luck by going for his audition. Bala sir after the audition told me that I fit into the role.”
Janani is not allowed as per her contract to speak to the media about her role or the film. Anyway,she has so far made the right moves, and has the potential to be the first Tamil girl after Trisha to make it big in Kollywood.

Is Pooja joins Bala's Avan Ivan?

After taking a much needed break from the terrifyingly intense schedules of Naan Kadavul, Bala is back with his next film Avan – Ivan that stars Arya and Vishal as brothers. Avan will be Bala’s first attempt at a full length romantic comedy. Although he’s finalized Janani Iyer for a female lead role, the movie still needs another heroine.

Bala agrees that Varalakshmi Sarathkumar’s name was under consideration, and that she later dropped out. Now he’s being faced with the question: Isn’t Pooja the obvious choice? But no, says Bala. “I have made her life hell in Naan Kadavul and want her to relax now,” Bala replies in a matter-of-fact way.

Neetu Chandra have planned to act in 10 films this year

Neetu Chandra made her debut as heroine in the film Yaavarum Nalam. Now she is currently acting with Vishal in Theeradha Vilayattu Pillai.

While speaking to the media, she said,” I am acting in five films including Ram Gopal Varma’s Run. Acting with Amitabh Bachchan is the most unforgettable experience. An actress life in Hindi film world is not base on one’s personal life.

Only talent is respected her. If I am talented I will be noticed. I think people have started noticing me. Many are passing remarks on me. Some are giving sermons on how I should live. Whatever I feel that is good I will do it. I have to work hard to make a living.

I have planned to act in 10 films this year. I don’t want to waste my time by chit chatting with anyone. It is happy to be lonely.”

Pooja joins Bala once again

After ‘Naan Kadavul’ the cute actress Pooja is right now enjoying her time judging reality shows. Now the grapevine is abuzz that director Bala has offered a lead role for his next film with Arya and Vishal.

The director, who is hunting for a fresh face for another female lead, is keen to sign-up Pooja, they say. Earlier rumours were making rounds about Sarath Kumar’s daughter Varalaxmi being offered a lead role in this film. But as Sarath Kumar is not that interested to let his daughter enter cinema as of now, the plans have been changed, say the birdies.

It’s worthy to mention that Pooja was earlier prepared to do a cameo role in a film that was to be produced by Moser Baer and that has Arya in the lead. Sadly, news made it clear that the film is shelved for some reason.

Let’s see if things will work out for her this time…

Good News for Vishal. His home production GK Film Corporation’s Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai, will be marketed by Sun Pictures.

The film has Vishal in the company of three beauties Neetu Chandra, Sarah Jane and Tanushree Datta. The catchy music of Yuvan Shankar Raja is climbing the charts.
Says Vishal: “ TVP is a complete entertainer with all essential ingredients which my fans and the youth audiences are sure to like. The film will release in the first week of February.”
And with Sun Pictures marketing muscle it is a win- win situation for the actor. The film is likely to release on February 5 or 12, ideal for the Valentine day weekend.

Reema Sen and Vishal is good friends

We all know that Vishal has three beautiful arm candies in the name of Tanushree Dutta, Sara Jane and Neetu Chandra in Theeratha Vilayaatu Pillai. Recently it was disclosed that Sneha plays a pivotal cameo in the film. However there were also talks that there could be a surprise 5th lady but the matter was kept under wraps. But as per the latest grapevine in the industry, the fifth damsel is nobody but Reema Sen. Further research revealed that Reema is indeed doing a role in TVP and it is only for Vishal and for the friendship that the duo shares. Our source also disclosed that Reema Sen and Vishal have been good friends from their Chellame days and it is this friendship which is the reason for her to figure in a small cameo in Vishal’s film

Theeradha Vilayattu Pillai audio launch on this month

Actor Vishal had to persistently drench himself in absolute trouble with his career graph getting down terribly with all his previous films flunking at box office.
Now, the young actor is so invigorated with his upcoming film ‘Theeradha Vilayattu Pilla’. Just like his previous films, he ropes in a debutant to wield megaphone for this film. The film is directed by newcomer Thiru and is produced by Vishal’s home banner ‘GK Films Corporation’.
The film has three hot girls – Tanushree Dutta, Neethu Chandra and Miss India Sarah Jane in female lead roles. ‘Of course, the list doesn’t end here as there is other couple of hotties making their appearance in cameo role’ says Vishal.
The actor clearly admits that ‘TVP’ isn’t a remake of Hindi film ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’. The film’s audio will be launched somewhere in mid of December while it hit screens on Pongal…

Sony buys Theeratha Villaiyatu Pillai's audio

Sony Music is an aggressive mood to acquire Tamil film titles. The latest acquisition is Vishal’s home production slated for Pongal Theeratha Villaiyatu Pillai (TVP).

TVP is said to be a romantic comedy entertainer, with peppy music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Recently Vishal and his team Neetu Chandra,Sarah Jane and Tanushree Dutta were in Australia picturising two songs for the film. Another song was choreographed by Bollywood choreographers Bosco-Caesar in Mumbai.

The Yuvan-Vishal team has always delivered hit music in the past like Sanda Kozhi, Thimiru. Let us hope Sony has a winner in the music of TVP when the audio releases in December.

Difference between Vishal's real life and film hero

“The Vishal you see in films is totally different from the real Vishal. He is trendy, suave and cool. In contrast, he is shown in films is an angry young main who comes to the city from a rural area only to cross swords with baddies,” says the actor’s new director Thiru.

Busy directing Vishal for ‘Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai’, the debutant filmmaker says, “I know Vishal when I was working as an associate director for ‘Sathyam’. I wanted to bring on screen some real life qualities of Vishal. The end product will be ‘Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai’, which will make you glued to the seats right from the first scene.”

Reports have it that Vishal is playing a playboy in the film. So, is he a Casanova in real life? To this question, Thiru says, “The film only showcases certain stylish qualities of Vishal. The playboy character he is doing has no similarity to him. He is a gentleman in real life.”

On rumours that the film is inspired by a Hindi blockbuster, “there is no truth in such baseless reports. The script is original, different and will be new to Tamil cinema. The movie will tell you the answer once it hit the screens.”
