This time it’s the Hindi movie Khakee which is going to be remade. The multi starrer movie had Amitabh, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Aishwarya Rai and Tushaar Kapoor in the cast.
Prashanth is to play the lead role. This is the first time he dons the role of a cop. The other cast are being finalized. M.P. Paneerselvam is the cinematographer. Producing remake pictures seems to Thiagarajan’s safe bet in the box office.
Simran’s relaunch vehicle Kicha Vayadhu 16
The petite Punjabi girl Simran stormed the Tamil film industry and reigned as the queen for many years. Having acted in many movies in glamorous roles she silenced her critics by proving her acting talent in Vaali and Thullatha Manamum Thullum. While at the top Simran gracefully left the industry to get married to Deepak and settle in Delhi. But Simran was not able to resist good and lucrative offers for long. When A.N. Rajagopalan narrated the story of Kicha Vayadhu 16, she immediately grabbed the offer. The heroine oriented subject seems to be the perfect launch pad for her re entry into films. Jai Akash and Boys Manikandan are paired opposite Simran. Rajagopalan says to MohanKumars.com “This is a triangular love story based on a true life incident. Even though Kicha’s name appears in the title he is the villain in the movie”. When Rajagopalan said that the role required few glamourous scenes Simran was ready to show glamour without exposing her famous midriff because she is expecting a baby in a few months time. Wonder how Simran sans glamour will be accepted by her fans.

Karan has a foreign girlfriend. Amitabh acts as a bridge between the son and the mother (Revathy).

Sarath’s Ayyaa commences

Dhanush’s Oru Naal Oru Kanavu in Ireland
Dhanush is joining hands with his brother Selvaraghavan and Sonia Agarwal once again for Oru Naal Oru Kanavu. Their earlier film Kaadhal Kondein created a trend in offbeat stories. Sonia also hopes that this film will create a flutter since she is teaming up with her favourite director and actor for the second time.
Oru Naal Oru Kanavu is set against the backdrop of snowfall. For this Selvaraghavan has selected Ireland for shooting the entire movie. There are only three characters in the film, Dhanush, Sonia and Namitha. The movie is about the love-hate relationship of the three. Will this movie also prove to be another hit like their earlier?
Madhavan on Tamil heroines
Madhavan is back in Chennai after a long shooting stint in London and USA for Ramji Londonwallah and Nothing but life. Back home a relaxed Madhavan in a chat with a vernacular magazine says “I am not comfortable acting with girls who don’t know Tamil. How can I emote with somebody who does not know what she’s speaking?” He goes on to add that in Bollywood all the heroines know Hindi and this helps them perform better.
Madhavan does not understand why the directors and producers in Kollywood prefer non Tamil speaking heroines. He wonders whether the directors don’t have confidence in Tamil girls or there are no good looking Tamil speaking girls at all.
