Vijay starrer ‘Vettaikkaran’ is having a huge opening at the B.O. in south India.

Even in Kerala, where it was released with 75 prints, a record for a Vijay film, it has had a great opening. The film by debutant Babu Sivan has Ilaiya Thalapathi doing his typical song - dance-fight routine with aplomb. Anushka Shetty, though has an insignificant role, oozes oomph and is a treat to watch.
The grand opening came as a breather to the superstar, who was reeling under back to back flops in `Kuruvi`, `Azhagiya Tamizh Magan` and `Villu`. The actor has thanked Kalanidhi Maran for promoting the film so well.
Vijay is currently busy with `Sura`. The film unit has just come back from Hyderabad and we hear that half of the shooting is over.

Komal opts out of `Director`s Special`

Just a week after director Guru Prasad addressed a press meet to announce his `Director`s Special` with him in the lead, Komal has decided to opt out of the film; he says he had found the film and the role beyond his abilities.

Komal says though he is very much comfortable with humour, he is scared of satire.
"I was even offered `Kallara Santhe`. But I did not want to do because it was a political satire. `Director`s Special` is also a satire and I think the concept and canvas of the film is huge and beyond my capacity. I found the one line of the film very interesting, but when I heard the screenplay, I realised that I would be unable to do it," said Komal.
Komal also says that it is better to opt out the project before it begins rather than complaining after everything is out. He says that it purely his decision to opt out of the project and there was no pressure from anyone.

Ganesh replaces Arya in Mohanlal film

Ganesh Venkatraman, who performed brilliantly in `Unnai Pol Oruvan`, has been signed up to play an important role in Mohanlal`s next.

Arya, who was finalised for the role, backed out later as he got a call from his mentor Bala. And the chance went to Ganesh, who debuted in Kollywood with Radha Mohan`s `Abhiyum Naanum` and shot to limelight with just his second film, `UPO`.
Ganesh had shared a great rapport with Mohanlal when they were working for `UPO`. Hence, Mohanlal had no hesitation to suggest the other`s name for the important role.
Arya was to have acted in Mohanlal`s `Casanova`, directed by Rosshan Andrews. But, the project was shelved in the beginning itself due to financial constraints. Mohanlal and Rosshan combined to make `Ividum Swargamaanu`, scheduled to release this Christmas.
Now, when they have decided to revive the project, Arya got an offer from Bala, who made him an actor to reckon with his `Naan Kadavul`. The actor, very keen to establish himself in Kollywood, could not resist the offer from Bala, says our source.

The actress, who has completed more than 100 films, said that the demise of her mother made her "very lonely and unsafe." Hence her decision to marry her lover.
Shakeela denied reports saying that Mammootty and Mohanlal were the reasons behind her exit from Mollywood. The actual reason, she says, was "my season in Mollywood was over. And hence I have changed my nature of roles too."

Komal opts out of `Director`s Special`

Just a week after director Guru Prasad addressed a press meet to announce his `Director`s Special` with him in the lead, Komal has decided to opt out of the film; he says he had found the film and the role beyond his abilities.

Komal says though he is very much comfortable with humour, he is scared of satire.
"I was even offered `Kallara Santhe`. But I did not want to do because it was a political satire. `Director`s Special` is also a satire and I think the concept and canvas of the film is huge and beyond my capacity. I found the one line of the film very interesting, but when I heard the screenplay, I realised that I would be unable to do it," said Komal.
Komal also says that it is better to opt out the project before it begins rather than complaining after everything is out. He says that it purely his decision to opt out of the project and there was no pressure from anyone.

Ganesh replaces Arya in Mohanlal film

Ganesh Venkatraman, who performed brilliantly in `Unnai Pol Oruvan`, has been signed up to play an important role in Mohanlal`s next.

Arya, who was finalised for the role, backed out later as he got a call from his mentor Bala. And the chance went to Ganesh, who debuted in Kollywood with Radha Mohan`s `Abhiyum Naanum` and shot to limelight with just his second film, `UPO`.
Ganesh had shared a great rapport with Mohanlal when they were working for `UPO`. Hence, Mohanlal had no hesitation to suggest the other`s name for the important role.
Arya was to have acted in Mohanlal`s `Casanova`, directed by Rosshan Andrews. But, the project was shelved in the beginning itself due to financial constraints. Mohanlal and Rosshan combined to make `Ividum Swargamaanu`, scheduled to release this Christmas.
Now, when they have decided to revive the project, Arya got an offer from Bala, who made him an actor to reckon with his `Naan Kadavul`. The actor, very keen to establish himself in Kollywood, could not resist the offer from Bala, says our source.

‘Vettaikkaran’ opens big

Vijay starrer ‘Vettaikkaran’ is having a huge opening at the B.O. in south India.

Even in Kerala, where it was released with 75 prints, a record for a Vijay film, it has had a great opening. The film by debutant Babu Sivan has Ilaiya Thalapathi doing his typical song - dance-fight routine with aplomb. Anushka Shetty, though has an insignificant role, oozes oomph and is a treat to watch.
The grand opening came as a breather to the superstar, who was reeling under back to back flops in `Kuruvi`, `Azhagiya Tamizh Magan` and `Villu`. The actor has thanked Kalanidhi Maran for promoting the film so well.
Vijay is currently busy with `Sura`. The film unit has just come back from Hyderabad and we hear that half of the shooting is over.
