Can we expect Aayiram Vilakku on Sep 23?

 

Contrasting with the soft romantic roles played in his first two films, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj is all set for a image makeover. For the first time, the actor will play a Madurai-based don, a typical mass action hero, in Aayiram Vilakku directed by Hosimin of February 14 fame. In this film, Sathyaraj plays an aging gangster who meets an ordinary coolie (Shanthnu) and trains him to be the next big gang lord to take revenge on his enemies. The film is likely to hit screens on September 23.

"I play a character that is in total contrast to my real self. Initially, I was very nervous to work with Sathyaraj sir. He plays a powerful don whose character changes after he meets me. But believe me, he was so down-to-earth from day one and made me feel so comfortable," Shanthnu said.

Madhavan-Arya-Bharath in 'Raajneeti' Tamil Remake

 

Bollywood blockbuster Raajneeti is the latest movie, which will be remade in Tamil. UTV Motion Pictures is planning to remake the film in Kollywood with Aarya, Madhavan, Prakash Raj, Sathyaraj and Bharath in the leads.

Arya might do Ranbir's role in the Tamil version of the hit Hindi multistarrer

Politics and films go hand-inglove in Tamil Nadu. And, politically-charged films have often created a stir in the state. Based on this, if rumours are to be believed, a Mumbai-based corporate is planning to remake the Bollywood superhit Raajneeti in Tamil. Arya is said to be the frontrunner to play Ranbir Kapoor's role in the Tamil version.

If the move comes through, the film could be among the biggest multistarrers in Tamil cinema as the original had big names like Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Katrina Kaif, Naseeruddin Shah and Arjun Rampal in the lead. The Kollywood names currently doing the rounds for the project are Madhavan, Arya, Sathyaraj, Prakash Raj, and Bharath. The studio is looking at big-name directors who can pull-off multistarrers, for Raajneeti. Shankar and Lingusamy seem to be the frontrunners for the project.

"But, there are doubts about Shankar signing on the project as he is currently doing a remake with Nanban and might not be keen on doing another remake immediately," says a source. On the other hand, chances are bright for Lingusamy, as the director's upcoming Vettai is being co-produced by the studio. "He has also inked a threefilm deal with them for his other productions which might land him this flick," adds the source.
