Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Thuppaki directed by AR Murugadoss seems to face some problems. First the SA Chandrasekar father of VIjay who was to produce the movie finally walked out from the project due to heavy budget. Then Kalaipuli S Thanu stepped forward to produce the movie.


But AR Murugadoss suddenly demanded for huge amount of salary for him to be paid. Murugadoss says Vijay one of the top stars of Tamil Cinema is acting in Thuppaki, so hardwork will be more and i want to be paid well.

Vijay’s Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru has turned out to be one of the most talked projects in Kollywood. Ever since the ads were published in the newspaper there is lot of buzz around the film and Ilayathalapathy fans are eager to know about the details of the film.


The first look posters revealed some tidbits of the film and the role Vijay is essaying. Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru is a slick action packed entertainer and by seeing the tagline we can expect that the film shoot might take place in New York. But latest sources reveal that the film will be canned in all corners of the globe.

Gautham Menon is doing four projects at a time - 'Neethane En Ponvasantham', which he is simultaneously making in three languages (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi), and the Hindi remake of 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya', titled 'Ek Dhivana Dha'.


After completing these films, he will move on to 'Yohan Adhyayam Ondru', his first venture with Vijay. "Some rumour mills have it that Gautham Menon is toying with the idea of coming out with a movie every two years in this series, like Yohan Adhyayam Irandu and Yohan Adhyayam Moondru but the director has remained tight-lipped about these.

Vikram : 10 Crores (Raajapaatai)

The latest talk joining the bandwagon is that Ajith might do the remake of Telugu film Dhookudu, produced by AM Ratnam.  Dhookudu features Tollywood Prince Mahesh Babu and Samantha in the lead roles.


The first screening of the film recently took place in Chennai and Ajith made his presence for the screening.  Thala was thoroughly impressed with the script and immediately decided to do the film. The film has a racy script blend well with plentiful dosage of comedy and romance.

It now seems veteran filmmakers are back in the hunt busy doing films . Filmmakers Bharathiraja, Mani Ratnam, Vasanth and Sundar C are those doing films.


Bharathiraja is directing Annakkodiyum Kodiveeranum. Director-actor Ameer and Iniya will play the lead in the film that has music by G V Prakash Kumar. Mani Ratnam too is busy finalising the script for his next.  Sources say that Karthik's son is making his debut in the film.

Actor Kishore is also shooting for Vanayudham, a biopic on sandalwood smuggler Veerappan.
Directed by A M R Ramesh, the film is expected to be a huge break for Kishore. 'I have been intrigued by Veerappan's persona. I have been reading a lot about him, too. The movie will also be made in Kannada titled Attahasa', says Kishore.


On the challenges playing the role, he says, 'every role is demanding. Every character is tough to portray. For this role, I had to lose five kgs. The movie has a huge star cast and Kishore is confident that it would get me more laurels.

We have heard a lot about the change of heroines in a film. Even recently there were instant changes in the female cast in Ajith’s Billa 2. And we came to know the change of the heroine for Bharathiraja’s Annakkodiyum Kodiveeranum. But there is a news that the hero in Vallinam, Nakul is to be replaced with Jai.


The film comes from the grand banner Aascar Movies by Ravichandran. The film’s first schedule began some time ago and was suspended as Ravichandran concentrated on the release of Vijay starrer Velayutham. Now after sensing the scope of Jai with his success in Engyeum Eppothum, Ravichandran seems to have changed his mind.

Vikram’s historical flick Karikalan has got its third female lead. After roping in Zarine Khan, and Mithra Kurian, Anjali of Angadi Theru fame has been signed to play a key role in the forthcoming Tamil movie. Sources say that Anjali will be seen in a bold character. The actress recently had a photoshoot, which impressed director Kannan. Without delaying, he zeroed in for an important role.


Meanwhile, the actress has confirmed the news and said that she will be seen in the role of a leader of a faithful group. The Kattradhu Thamizh actress’ character demands her to learn sword-fighting and horse riding. The actress claims that she is game for it.

Vishnuvardhan’s forthcoming Telugu movie Panjaa with Pawan Kalyan in the lead seems to have attracted Ajith Kumar. Reports say that Vishnuvardhan, who recently announced his future plans with Ajith Kumar, is likely to remake Panjaa in the Kollywood.


Though, there were reports that Panjaa would be dubbed in Tamil, the movie bosses have dropped the plans of it considering the low demand for the dubbed versions in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil version of Panjaa is reportedly produced by AM Rathnam. But sources also claim that if the Telugu film fails, then Ajith-Vishnuvardhan might have a second thought about the project.

Vijay and Director AR Murugadoss finally freezed their title on next project, earlier it was called as Maalai Neram Mazhaithuli, has been titled as Thupaki after considering quite a few catchy titles. The upcoming movie is reportedly taking off on November 25 at the Thiruchendur Murugan temple, one of the six abodes of Lord Muruga.


Thupaki is being made with the budget of Rs 65 crore, which is the biggest ever budget film of Vijay career. AR Murugadoss has roped in Santosh Sivan and Harris Jayaran for the cinematography and the music direction departments.
