Trisha has said in an interview that she is not keen on acting in Bollywood films because the taste of Bollywood audience is very different.

The actress is one of the top stars in the Tamil and the Telugu film industry but she has acted in just one Hindi film – Khatta Meetha – till now.

"Bollywood audiences are very different compared to Tamil audiences and their taste for movies also differ drastically," said Trisha adding that she does not have much ideas to star in Hindi films as she is content with her career graph in the south Indian industries.

Her last release Mankatha opposite Ajith Kumar in the lead was a remarkable hit and she is currently busy with the shooting of the Vishal starrer, Samaran.

Dhanush has said that he would offer bulk dates or even bulk years, if Selvaraghavan wanted him to act in Aayirathil Oruvan II.

The actor revealed that he was supposed to do Parthiban’s role in Aayirathil Oruvan but finally director Selvaraghavan decided against casting him.

"Initially Selvaraghavan wanted to cast me as a Prince in Aayirathil Oruvan but since the role went to Parthiban, the character turned out to be a King," revealed Dhanush adding that he began preparing very hard to get the right characterization when Selva told him about the role.

"In fact, when Selva told me that I am not in for the role, I felt very bad and could not sleep for a week", said Dhanush.

Hence, in case Selvaraghavan confirms Dhanush in Aayirathil Oruvan II, he would allot bulk dates or even years!


Looks like Bruna Abdullah, the Brazilian - Arab model who is working with Ajith for the second installment of the Billa franchise, Billa II can't stop gushing about how awesome it was to work with him.

Bruna recently tweeted saying:


Bruna was last seen in a miniscule role in Desi Boyz, which is fast losing its steam at the box office. Her shoots with Ajith for Billa II in Georgia in Eastern Europe are apparently over. After finishing her shooting, Bruna is back in Mumbai.

'White skin-u girl-u girl-u, Girl-u heart-u black-u ..!
Eyes-u eyes-u meet-u meet-u, My future dark!
Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di?'

These are the lines of a soup song that is now being played or replayed on YouTube and updated on Facebook as status messages. This new song was officially released last week and is a part of the upcoming Tamil film 3, directed by Aishwarya Dhanush starring her spouse Dhanush and Shruti Haasan in the lead.

3 is the directorial debut of Superstar Rajnikanth's daughter Aishwarya Dhanush. His son-in-law Dhanush, apart from starring in the film as the lead also sung the Kolaveri song that has gone viral over the web with over 27.4 lakh hits on YouTube ever since its launch.

“Why this Kolaveri Di is as simple as it is silly. Perhaps that is what has made the song a phenomenon,” says Dhanush.

The wacky lyrics stemmed from an impromptu jam session a couple of months ago. Dhanush entered the music studio, heard the catchy tune and as the tune goes, took a mic and just started singing.

"The song details the story of youngsters who have been “ill-treated in love”. We have deliberately used the lines 'I am sing song... soup song.. etc.' ‘Soup’ is slang for an unfortunate situation. In fact, even now we do not have a lyrics sheet for the song, it was sung on the spot and we forgot to write it down! We knew that the song would be a hit but we never imagined it would scale this high,” said first-time music director Anirudh Ravichander, the 21yrs old passout from A.R Rahman’s KM Conservatory Music School.

“We had to take those breaks because we were laughing uncontrollably,” says Dhanush.

“The movie is being produced by Rajnikanth’s daughter, his son-in-law is singing the song and Kamal Hassan’s daughter is acting in it. How much bigger can it get?” wondered Anirudh, who was later revealed to be Aishwarya's cousin.

“Phones have been ringing non-stop. More than anything people are just laughing. The song has raised expectations for the album, scheduled to release in mid-December and there is a lot of pressure to ensure that the other songs of the film are as good,” adds the composer.




Nargis Fakhri says she spent hours in the dubbing studio and hoped to hear her voice onscreen.

Nargis might have been linked to actor Ranbir Kapoor, her co-star in her debut Bollywood film, but when asked about the veracity of these reports, Nargis Fakhri maintains that she has no time for a relationship and brushes off queries about being romantically involved with the Kapoor scion. What's even more surprising is that the 31-year-old New Yorker had no idea who actor Ranbir and director Imtiaz Ali were before she signed up for the film that shot her to stardom.

"I had no idea about either of them. For me, doing the film was more like an art project. I just fell in love with the script the moment I heard it," said Nargis.

The former model admits that making the switch from the ramp to the big screen wasn't very easy either.

"It was very difficult initially; acting is a very intense job. It was difficult to adjust to the acting environment. Moreover, I had to get used to being in a new environment without my friends or family. But I enjoyed it," she says, adding, "I remember spending 10 hours in the office, from Monday to Sunday, dubbing for my own scenes. I did 5-10 scenes, but I don't know why they weren't taken. I was very upset that I didn't get to dub for myself."

While Nargis is aware of the appreciation that has come her way for her role, her greatest admirer so far has been Ranbir. "He has seen how hard I worked on this project, and it's great if your co-star gives you credit," she says.

And though the actor is just one film old, she has already bagged three endorsements and kickstarted a brand war of sorts. Quiz her about snapping up deals for which actors Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were also under consideration, and she says, "I don't think I am taking over from anyone. I have been doing ads for some time and this is not new to me."

And if B-town buzz is to be believed, the newbie Nargis has been signed up to play the female villain in Rakesh Roshan's sequel to Krrish. "I am not doing this right now. At the moment I am just taking my time," she clarified.

Trust Aamir Khan to be humility personified.

Before flying off to London to shoot for Talaash, the actor drove down from Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar to meet Jackie Shroff.

A little birdie says, "Shroff was shooting for Ananth Mahadevan's Life Is Good. Considering Khan's star status, he could have easily summoned the senior actor to visit him. But he felt that since Jackie was shooting and is also his senior it would not be be right on his part to call the actor to where he was.

Instead he preferred to drop in on the sets personally. We assume Aamir Khan had dropped in to discuss the finer details of the project that launches Tiger Shroff." This development gives credence to talk that Aamir will in all likelihood launch Jackie Jr under his banner.




Bollywood is on a remake spree, especially from movies down South. The latest film that will be remade in Hindi is Sukumar's 'Arya 2'.

Ronnie Srewvala has bought the rights of the 2009 Telugu romance that was a follow-up to the actor's and the director's previous successful film, 'Arya'.

'Arya 2' had Allu Arjun, Kajal Aggarwal, Navdeep and Shraddha Das in the cast. This film was also been dubbed in Malayalam with the same title and had become a blockbuster.

"The film, 'Arya 2', has a lot of commercial elements. In fact, the music of the film was so successful that Salman Khan acquired rights of one of the cult songs, "Ringa ringa", and got it remade into the superhit "Dhinka chika" for 'Ready'. This original song by Priya Himesh was played at cricket stadium during the breaks of IPL matches and the 2011 cricket World Cup that was held in Bangalore," says an industry source, .

Though the director for the remake of the film is yet to be decided, there are talks about Sukumar himself making his Bollywood debut with the movie. Of course, the official remake of "Arya 2" can't again have the same "Ringa ringa" number but all attempts will be made so that the Hindi music is a huge hit too."

Looks like when it comes to exhibiting oomph wearing a red hot two piece, sultry Bipasha Basu didn't have any challengers in Bollywood and then came Fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who turned out to be one hell of a challenger.

The ultimate “bong bombshell” Bipasha feels great about her sexy image, but to slip into a bikini for ‘Players’ the actress had to compete with the lissome beauty Sonam Kapoor.

Interestingly, the makers of ‘Players’ floated a contest to rate the sex quotient between the two actresses.

In a recent media event, Bipasha let her cannons loose and animatedly talked about her sizzling bikini act to which Sonam had no option but succumb.

So, finally it has emerged that Sonam Kapoor will not be seen in the itsy-bitsy two-piece and it is Bipasha who would up the oomph quotient with her red bikini and fab toned body.

Sharing the saucy bit with media, Bips said, “We were made to have a race. Whoever won the race, would get to wear a bikini,” she said, “I won, simple!”

Meanwhile, Sonam had no qualms wearing a bikini but feels sorry that she doesn’t have a body to flaunt one.

Vidya Balan's dare bare act in her upcoming film 'The Dirty Picture' is the talk of the town. The actress confesses that in the beginning, it was not easy for her to play the ultra-sensuous role.

"There was a certain amount of mental preparation about being uninhibited and being unapologetic about being uninhibited...But I have enjoyed it," said Vidya during the promotion of her film, which depicts the rise and fall of a sex-siren in the 1980s and 1990s.

Vidya best Known for her poise and grace in Parineeta and Paa is eagerly waiting for the Milan Luthria directed film, which also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emran Hashmi.


"Everyone knows about Dirty Picture and are excited about the film. I feel very happy about this. I cannot wait for it to release. I just hope everyone reaches the theatre," said the sex bomb about the movie that is releasing in December.

Vidya starrer No One Killed Jessica, based on ramp model Jessica Lall's murder, started the year on a positive note as the film earned both commercial success and critical acclaim. She also made guest appearances in Thank You and Dum Maaro Dum.

Now, expectations are high from 'The Dirty Picture', and people are hoping when the film comes out next month, it sets the cash registers ringing and spells good business for the industry.






Kamal Haasan’s Viswaroopam is fast progressing and the shooting that was going on in Chennai has been wrapped up.

The star, who is also directing this film, is now getting ready to fly down to Jordan to shoot some songs and important scenes.

The team comprising about 50 members are expected to return during the first week of December. Kamal Haasan has said that Pooja Kumar is the leading lady in Viswaroopam.

To a question on whether the film is inspired from the movie Hannibal, Kamal said that it is just a baseless rumor. He added that story of Viswaroopam is based entirely on his imagination.






Mambattiyan, a film that released in 1983 starred Thiagarajan and Saritha in the lead roles and went on to become a cult hit.
It may be mentioned here that actor Thiagarajan, who decided to remake his yesteryear hit with his son Prashanth playing the lead role - is the Producer/Director of Mambattiyan.

Thiagarajan has roped in Meera Jasmine to play the female lead opposite Prashant with Mumaith Khan, Vadivelu and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles.

The audio launch of Mambattiyan is being planned to be telecast live on Sun TV. The songs that have been set to tunes by Thaman has raised the expectations already because of the song 'Kaatuvazhi' that Silambarasan has rendered.

In the A.R Murugadoss film, Vijay is playing a Mumbai dada, reports some sources in Kollywood. Though this fact has not been confirmed either by A.R Murugadoss or Vijay, the news has started to make rounds.

The film has not been titled yet and A.R Murugadoss is expected to announce the title any time now. However, the speculations on Vijay’s role in this film have started to make rounds.

As per some reports in Kollywood, Vijay’s role in the movie will be similar to that of Kamal Haasan’s in Nayagan.

Yet another news that we hear on this project is that the film will begin in Tiruchendur and it will show Vijay’s transition as dada in Mumbai.

Prashanth’s marriage to Grihalakshmi was declared to be null and void by the family court in Chennai after it was proved that Grihalakshmi was already wedded to Venu Prasad but did not disclose this fact to Prashanth.

Grihalakshmi not only concealed this fact from Prashanth but also did not divorce Venu Prasad before marriage. On coming to know this, Prashanth immediately filed a petition seeking the court’s order to declare his marriage with Grihalakshmi as null and void.

The family court ordered that the marriage is not valid and Grihalakshmi filed an appeal against this. The hearing at the High Court came up yesterday during which the Judges held that the marriage between Prashanth and Grihalakshmi is null and void.

Refuting rumors that she is in love with Jai and the two are heading towards matrimony, Anjali has said in an open letter that it is just baseless rumors.

Anjali has said that she has undergone a lot of problems to establish herself as an actress and such rumors at this stage of her career may only hinder her progress.

According to Anjali, she wants to scale greater heights by bagging several awards and this is possible only if she is able to concentrate in her career. Therefore, there is no room for love and marriage right now, said the determined Anjali.

Anjali appealed to her fans and media persons not to believe or spread out such rumors.






Telugu film Panjaa’s audio launch took place a couple of days ago in Hyderabad.

The Power Star Pawan Kalyan starrer 'Panjaa' is directed by Vishnuvardhan. Interestingly, it was for this film that Vishnu moved out of Billa II, which he was initially supposed to direct.

Speaking at this audio launch, Vishnuvardhan said that he has yet to decide on his next project and maintained that he is unsure if it is going to be a Tamil or Telugu film.

It may be noted here that there are strong rumors that Vishnuvardhan and Ajith may come together after the star wraps up Billa 2.



Aishwarya Rai will return home with her newborn soon, informed her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan. The star said that they have not fixed a name for the baby yet and are affectionately calling her Beti B for now.

The proud grandfather added that it is interesting to watch the baby in her crib but she is sleeping most of the time.

Aishwarya has shown immense courage during her pregnancy and had reportedly told the doctors that she would wait for a normal delivery rather than a C section. And as per her wishes it was a normal delivery.

Pooja Kumar is one name that is doing the rounds in the industry and buzz is that she is going to take over the Indian film industry over a storm.

Who is Pooja Kumar? Is she that hot?

Pooja Kumar, an American actress, producer, model and television hostess who was crowned Miss India USA has also been a veejay for Channel V, a newsreader on the show Namaste America. She has also starred in few feature films like Kaadhal Rojave, Night of Henna, Flavors, Hiding Divya, Park Sharks, Bollywood Beats, and Anything For You.

The actor is now cast as the leading lady opposite Universal Hero Kamal Haasan for his magnum opus Viswaroopam.

There was news reported earlier that actor Shriya Saran would be replacing Sonakshi Sinha, who was signed for this role initially. However, when things didn't turn out well as expected, it called for another talent to be zeroed in.

When Celebs Factory queried about this progress,

"Pooja Kumar is the leading lady in 'Viswaroopam'. She's a Punjabi girl of Indian origin. 'Vishwaroopam' is probably one of the biggest film being made in Tamil Nadu and It could be a big break for a talented actress as Pooja," said the Universal star.

Sunny Leone, who was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and was under a contract for Vivid Entertainment, has been roped in to be the international celebrity on the reality TV show.

If Bigg Boss 5 was not a controversial magnet already, the reality TV show is about to garner far more eyeballs. The same show which got all the men's jaws dropping when Pamela Anderson entered the house will now reportedly open its doors to adult film star, Sunny Leone.

A source informed Celebs Factory that the actress will be welcomed into the Bigg Boss 5 house this weekend.

According to the source, there were rumours that Mike Tyson would be the international celebrity invited to the Indian version of Bigg Boss season 5. However, the Indo-Canadian adult film actress, Sunny Leone, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, has finally been selected.

The source explained, "There are two single men - Akshdeep Saigal and Siddarth and one married man - Amar Upadhyay, who are currently in the house. Sunny's entry into the house will definitely help to generate some drama and excitement for viewers."

The source informed us that Sunny was named one of the top 12 X-rated actresses in 2010 and that "She is one of the most talked about adult film actresses, who began her career with mainly homosexual roles before she started doing roles opposite men in 2008. Incidentally, there were also rumours that Mohit Suri had offered her a role in his film Kalyug. Apart from many adult films, Sunny has done quite a few mainstream films as well. Sunny will be arriving into the country tonight," added the source.

When contacted, the channel refused to comment.

Kasthuri, a former model turned actress who was once a popular South Indian heroine settled to do character roles.

The actress recently made a come back and was last seen shaking her leg and everything that could be, for an item song in Thamizh Padam, a 2010 Tamil-language spoof film written and directed by debutant C. S. Amudhan.

Kasthuri disappeared since then and is now back after a break to play a pivotal role in director Selva’s Naanga.

"A teenage boy falls in love with me and how I make the infatuated lover realize his mistake forms the crux of the story," said Kasthuri, denying rumours aroused of her role being sleazy.

Naanga has five stories in one film and one such story features Kasthuri and a newcomer Uday, says the director. Plans are on to release the movie this December.





Sonakshi Sinha clearly defines her limits as an actress by disapproving of roles like Silk Smitha played by Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture. But, the actress like a true professional admires Vidya’s ability to get into the skin of the character so well.

On enquiring about whether she will ever take up such roles,

Sonakshi without giving it a second thought says, “I will never ever do what Vidya is doing in The Dirty Picture. It’s against my principles and I can’t cross my limitations.”

“But, I must say, Vidya has done a fantastic job in the film. The promos look very promising especially the 'Ooh la la' song which has been creating waves. I wish her all the best," added Sonakshi.

Point taken Ms. Sinha. we are sure that Papa Sinha will be proud to have rules-abiding daughter who is rational at the same time.

Katrina Kaif is all set to gyrate in a new item number in Agneepath and the song, in sync with Bollywood's of-late slant on flippant lyrics, is called Chikni Chameli .

Chikni Chameli will be shot on Katrina and Sanjay Dutt who reprises Danny Denzongpa's character Kancha Cheena from the original Agneepath of 1992. The remake stars Hrithik Roshan in Amitabh Bachchan's role.

No one is interested in cast credit details right now.

Would Katrina get naughtier to beat the oomph frenzy she set off with Sheila ki jawaani in Tees Maar Khan?


an ecstatic Karan Johar, producer of Agneepath, tweeted on the microblogging site Twitter.

Karan's joy is understandable. Any dance that lets Katrina portray a little more sexuality than Sheila ( and perhaps don a little less clothes) will be big news, which in turn means bigger hype for the film.


It’s a good news for Rajnikanth fans.

Though their wait to witness the resumption of the shoot for Rajnikanth’s Raana continue, Soundarya Rajnikanth’s latest tweet has brought them joy.

Superstar’s daughter who recently joined the micro-blogging site has tweeted:



Fans can now watch Rajnikanth in animated avatar soon.

Meanwhile she has also thanked all who have been making anxious enquiries about Rajni’s health.

‘People are very warm and eager to know about my projects and about appa. All is well with appa’, she tweeted.

It can’t get any bigger than this for the Punjabi lass!

Yes, we’re talking about Kajal Aggarwal, who’s got a prize catch —- Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay's next film directed by A.R. Murugadoss.

Though several names including Priyanka Chopra and Priya Anand were tossed around, the opportunity to romance Vijay on-screen has fallen into Kajal’s lap.

Sources say that the leggy lass, who’s on a high after her Bollywood debut hit Singham with Ajay Devgan, was on cloud nine after signing the film on Tuesday with mass hero Vijay.

Kajal Aggarwal is the only lucky girl to sizzle with two K’town biggies simultaneously — Suriya in Maatran and Vijay in this untitled flick. Her Tollywood career is also looking up with two films — one with Mahesh Babu and another with her Magadheera costar Ram Charan Teja.

A source reveals that the movie produced by Vijay’s dad S.A. Chandrashekar, is set in Mumbai and will be shot extensively in the business capital.

Reportedly, the crew will start rolling from December 1 with ace cinematographer Santhosh Sivan handling the camera and Harris Jayaraj composing music for the film.

Taapsee is off to Mumbai to shoot for her Hindi film, Chashme Baddoor to be directed by David Dhawan.

Chashme Baddoor is a remake of the classic comedy of the same name that released in 1981.

According to the latest information, Osthi will release on the 24th and Mayakkam Enna on the 25th of November this year.

Initially both the films were expected to clash at the box office but later it was decided that they will release on different weekends.

Finally it has turned out that both the films will hit the screens with just a day apart.

Although Dhanush and Silambarasan are not in for a head-on clash, their respective fans are very excited about the films’ response at the box office.

Dhanush has teamed up with his brother Selvaraghavan after a long time and this has created a curiosity over Mayakkam Enna. On the other hand, Osthi is the remake of the Hindi smash hit Dabangg.

Selvaraghavan has been toying with the idea of making a sequel to Aayirathil Oruvan for a very long time ever since the original was evidently wrapped with an open ended climax.

Although Selvaraghavan had said this long ago, his involvement in Mayakkam Enna kept him away from discussing the sequel for Ayirathil Oruvan.

"The sequel is still in its initial stages and the cast and crew have not been finalized yet," said Selva’s wife Gitanjali, who added that Selva may decide on the sequel to Ayirathil Oruvan Once Mayakkam Enna hits the screens.

Aayirathil Oruvan starring Karthi, Andrea, Reemma Sen alongside Parthiban released in 2010 to mixed reviews from critics, however it is undecidedly a milestone in Indian Cinema and the sequel is highly expected by one and all.

Mamta Mohandas will wed Prajith, her distant relative on December 28th, 2011.

The couple’s engagement took place in Kochi, at the groom’s residence, just a couple of days ago and the wedding date was finalized during this ceremony.

Mamta is currently acting in the Tamil film Thadaiyara Thaaka with Arun Vijay as her lead pair.

The pretty actress was seen in a couple of Tamil films including Sivappathigaram which had Vishal as the hero. She will bid adieu to acting after tying the knot with Prajith, states sources close to Mamta.

Harris Jayaraj, the music director of Nanban, has said that the final mixing of the audio is currently on.

The musician is now focusing on Nanban’s music album as the plan is to launch the music during the first week of December.

With the deadline been set for the audio launch, Harris is concentrating on completing this within the expected time frame.

Meanwhile...,

"Nanban will hit the screens for Pongal 2012," stated director Shankar, who is very busy with the post-production work that is expected to be wrapped up soon.

The film’s dubbed version in Telugu, 3 Rascals, was originally planned to be released along with Nanban but now we hear the release has been postponed.



Actress Nandana Sen feels nudity portrayed by her in the film Rang Rasiya symbolises woman power.

"Nudity can be depicted in two ways - when you present a women's body as an object then it's demeaning to a women. The way a woman's body has been presented in this film (Rang Rasiya), it celebrates the power of women," said Nandana here.

The actress said she received hate mail after news of her role was leaked.

"Without knowing what the film was all about, or why I had done the scene, I received hate mail for the scenes. There were objections from different quarters also," she said.

Based on the 19th century Indian painter Raja Ravi Verma, played by Randeep Hooda, and his muse Sugandha Bai played by Nandana Sen, the film shows how the legendary painter's partially nude portraits irked priests of that era and kicked a controversy.


A unit member of a film that Katrina is working on reveals how she spends most of her time...

...in front of the mirror !??

No, the girl is not playing 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall' or patching up her blemishes - she has none!

This behaviour is imputed to the dancing bug that has bitten the enthusiastic girl, who seems to be jumping at every opportunity to perform an item number.

Actress Katrina Kaif may have been promoted as the 'item girl' post the Sheila Ki Jawani phenomenon. After that she did a 20-second stint for Salman-starrer Bodyguard, and will be seen in two more item numbers!

Katrina is now adamant to become a better dancer and keeps practising dance moves in front of the mirror for hours on end.

"Katrina spends hours in front of the mirror and is always looking at improving her dancing. She is honing her dancing skills as seriously as improving her Hindi," we are told.

"If she is doing that - practising in front of the mirror, it is the best way to learn dance," says choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.

Well, let's not be surprised then if Katrina gives us some more impressive jhatkas and matkas in her next few item numbers.

A seeti for her already?


Sporting a bikini has become a part-n-parcel of movies these days.

Following the trend, hottie Anushka Sharma will be seen sporting a dark chocolate coloured hot bikini in her forthcoming film LADIES V/S RICKY BAHL.

Though the sultry siren has already donned a yellow bikini in BADMAASH COMPANY (yet another YRF movie), Anushka looked smoking hot flaunting her hot-bod in a ultra-glam bikini once again.

Looks like, Anushka has well toned up her body for the film!

Starring Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Dipannita Sharma, Aditi Sharma and Parineeti Chopra, LADIES V/S RICKY BAHL is directed by Maneesh Sharma. The movie is all set to release on 9th December, 2011.

Don't miss the trailer that features the above mentioned bikini dip.


What more proof does an actor require of a powerful performance than someone moved to tears?

Imtiaz Ali’s film Rockstar may have drawn mixed responses from critics, but almost everyone agrees that Ranbir Kapoor has delivered a terrific performance in the film.

Well, that seems to be the case with Deepika Padukone.

Buzz is that Deepika Padukone, Ranbir’s ex girlfriend as the world already knows, was in tears while watching Rockstar at a special screening hosted by Ranbir himself at Yashraj over the weekend.

Ranbir really values the opinions of his peers in the industry and therefore held a special screening of the film to which the likes of Deepika, Anushka Sharma and even Katrina Kaif were invited.

Onlookers say that Deepika got so involved in the film that at one point her eyes welled up and she wept.

We don’t know if Ranbir knows about Deepika’s extreme reaction, but if he does he should realize that there’s no compliment bigger than this.

Vidyut Jamwal, the villain who made his sensational Bollywood debut with the John Abraham starrer Force, the Hindi remake of Gowtham Menon's Kaakha Kaakha by Nishikant Kamat.

Now the former model and national level gymnast, who played the bad guy in Force is being roped in to play yet another powerful antagonist in the Ajith starrer Billa 2.

Vidyut, who tasted success as a baddie in Tollywood flicks like Shakthi and Ooseravalli with Jr. NTR, is venturing into Tamil with Billa 2.

“A film like Billa 2, with superstar Ajith Kumar in the lead, needs a strong and worthy opponent and we believe Vidyut Jamwal is the right person”, says Sunir Kheterpal, the producer of Billa 2.

As for Vidyut, “It’s a dream come true to be making my Tamil debut with a Superstar like Ajith. I can’t wait to start work on the movie,” said the actor.

In the third week of November, the unit will leave for Georgia in Eastern Europe for the final 20-day schedule where major action portions will be filmed.

Billa 2 is likely to be Ajith's big summer 2012 release.

Vijay claims there have never been any kind of tension between him and Shankar during the filming of Nanban co-starring Ileana, Jiiva and Srikanth.

In a recent interview to a tabloid, Vijay mentioned of his friendship with director Shankar that runs way back to the days, when Shankar was assisting his father S.A. Chandrashekar.

"He is an absolute delight to work with and I enjoyed working with him in Nanban," said Vijay.

Sunaina, the lovely actress noticed for the films she starred like Kadhalil Vizhunthen, Masilamani and Vamsam will be joining the cast of Samaran with Vishal and Trisha.

The actress is very excited as her character in Samaran is considered to be the funniest and the most glamorous of her acting career. She had been worried lately as she has been getting village belle roles and was being typecast.

Sunaina is now all geared up to show off a lot more than just her versatility.

Samaran is touted to be an out and out action entertainer with Yuvan Shankar Raja scoring the music for the film.

Shooting of Samaran is currently going on in Ooty and is progressing at a brisk pace. The film is going to be a quickie and the makers are trying to finish it off within the next 4 months.

The Businessman directed by Puri Jagannadh has Mahesh Babu and Kajal Agarwal playing the lead roles and is to be released on January 11th, 2012 with the entire crew trying to complete the project as soon as possible.

Interestingly, The Businessman will be released simultaneously in Tamil and Malayalam as well. Yes, the film will be dubbed in both the languages and would hit the screens on the same day because of the immense popularity that the star enjoys in both the states.

The followers of Buddhism have raised objections towards 7am Arivu over the facts provided about the monk 'Bodhi Dharma' in the movie.

Despite being a well-made science fiction film in the Tamil film industry, Surya's 7am Arivu has sparked a controversy regarding the portrayal of Bodhi Dharma, a Pallava prince who migrated to China and became the Shaolin master.

Buddhist Teacher Babu T Raghu has said that the depiction of Bodhi Dharma in 7am Arivu is inaccurate. For an instance, the monk travelled to China, when he was 150 yearsold but in the recently released film, it has been portrayed, as if he left Kanchipuram at his young age with six-pack abs. He further claims that it is an insult to their community and has objected those scenes.

The Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary professor Bikku Bodhi Bala says that it is believed that Bodhi Dharma was one of the seven monks, who left to China from Tamil Nadu between the 2nd and 13th century. He, however refuses A.R Murgadoss' portrayal of the Bodhi Dharma's death in 7am Arivu as the monk breathed his last in Tamil Nadu after being resurrected from death in China.

Meanwhile, historians claim that Bodhi Dharma left Kanchipuram to propagate Buddhism and that he was known only for his expertise in martial arts and not for any skills on medical science scrutinizing 7am Arivu that glorifies the monk as a Tamilian without researching his contribution to the community.

All in all, irrespective of whether Bodhi Dharma's depiction is accurate or false, the audience have loved Suriya's performance as the monk in the first twenty minutes of 7am Arivu.
