Looks like happy days are here again for Amala Paul.

Having been part of successful films like Vettai, Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal, Kaadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Yeppadi and the latest Malayalam film Run Baby Run, the Kerala girl has taken to working out in a big way as she wants to look glamorous and toned for her future films.

Now one person who is appreciative of her commitment to fitness is actor Sarath Kumar, himself a fitness freak.

The duo have been bonding over their shared passion and Amala teasingly informs everyone that she is the one who gives special training tips to Sarath Kumar! Of course, the actor is a good sport and finds her assertion very amusing.

Meanwhile on the career front too, the petite actor appears to be in control of her affairs and recently signed up for a massive Telugu project opposite 'Stylish Star' Allu Arjun directed by none other than Puri Jagannath of Pokkiri fame.

Amala Paul is thrilled to have this opportunity and is eager to get started.

The anticipation surrounding the Vijay - AR Murugadoss film, Thuppaki continues to increase with the latest addition of Sarath Kumar to its cast.

Apparently Sarath Kumar has a pivotal role in the film that is guaranteed to make a massive impact. He agreed to take up the part because he loved the script and the scope offered for his character.

It can be recalled that Sarath Kumar did a supporting role in Kanchana for which he was widely appreciated. He will also be seen in Kochadaiyaan. Sarath is one of the biggest stars in the industry as his career has stood the test of time. He is also the president of the South Indian Film Artistes Association, an MLA and leader of All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi.

Traffic, a hit Malayalam film is going to be remade in Tamil with Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Radhika, Prasanna and Remya Nambeesan.

Rajesh Pillai, the director of the original film will helm the Tamil version as well and this film will also be called Traffic. Based on a real life event that took place in Chennai, Traffic will have multiple threads that will converge towards the climax.

Traffic is also going to be a multi - starrer and it is expected that a few more high profile additions will be made to the cast. This venture is being produced by Radhika Sarath Kumar and Listin Stephen. Once the director wraps up this film, he will be doing a Hindi version as well.

Kochadaiyaan, Soundarya Rajinikanth’s mega budget film has been the talk of the town since its initiation. Beginning with the long line of prominent actors in its cast followed by the rift between the two sisters Soundarya and Aishwarya over release dates, Rajinikanth’s health and finally now the poster.

The poster shows Rajinikanth portraying one of Lord Shiva’s poses. He sports long hair and a beard along with accessories on his hair, neck and leg. While the physique looks like the work of a ‘mouse’ we are sure Rajini’s fans will be over-thrilled to see the actor in the new avatar.

In the film however, Rajini plays an eighth century Pandya king who is known for his legendary valour. Soundarya released the first look of the film on Twitter. The music of the film is by A.R Rahman while K.S Ravikumar will wield the megaphone.

Rajinikanth alongside an ensemble cast including R.Sarathkumar, Katrina Kaif, Sneha, Aadhi, Shobana, Nasser and Jackie Shroff will be featured in Kochaidaiyaan, the first of its kind in Tamil cinema in terms of using motion capture technology. With cinematography handled by Rajiv Menon and background score and soundtrack .composed by Maestro A.R Rahman, the film is being directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth under K.S. Ravikumar's supervision who has penned the screenplay and dialogues.

While we eagerly wait for the film to hit the screens, tell us what you think about the poster.

Soundarya Rajini has said that it is true that the work on Kochadaiyaan has begun but the reports that the shooting has commenced is false.

The newbie director says that it is a pleasure to work with her dad and the work has started already. She made it clear that the shooting of Kochadaiyaan has not yet begun as some groundwork needs to be completed before beginning the first schedule.

The star cast in Kochadaiyaan includes Rajinikanth, Katrina Kaif, Sarath Kumar, Prithviraj, Aadhi, Sneha and Nasser. The music of the film would be by Oscar winner A.R Rahman and KS Ravi Kumar is penning the story, screenplay and dialogues for Kochadaiyaan.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has become the highest paid actor in Indian film industry as his remuneration touches the scale of Rs.50 Crores after his consecutive hits.

The actor is now close on the heels of completing 'Bodyguard’, that has already done big business amongst the distributors.

Post Bodyguard, Salman will be a part of a film that is tentatively titled as ‘Wanted-2’ and has also agreed for the remake of Raghava Lawrence's Kanchana: Muni-2 in Hindi.

Salman Khan, being very impressed with the outstanding style of Raghava Lawrence in ‘Kanchana' would come together for its Hindi remake once Lawrence wraps up his shooting for the Prabhas-Anushka starrer ‘Rebel’.

Guess who’ll be donning the role of Sarath Kumar? Sanjay Dutt?

Kanchana, the sequel to Muni, is doing good business at the box office.

This has led to the inevitable talks about getting the project remade in Hindi and Actor Salman Khan is said to be showing keen interest.

Happy over the success, Raghava Lawrence, the director and hero of Kanchana, revealed that he is planning for a third part to this series and added that an official announcement will be made very soon once the discussions come to a fruitful conclusion.

Looks like Raghava Lawrence is looking to create a franchise out of this.

Director Bala was recently very impressed with Sarathkumar's performance in Kanchana and expressed a desire to work with him.

Sarathkumar was flattered with this as he's a bigtime admirer of Bala's work.

Since they have a mutual admiration going for each other they decided to put their hands together and come up with a suitable project on which they could work together.

Unfortunately, nothing panned out as they are both busy individuals with too much on their plates already.

So they parted ways, although they have promised each other that they will work together in future. It would definitely be great to see the talented duo in action together.
