Gautham Menon with sequel to Vettaiyadu Vilayadu

Gautham Menon, one among the notable directors in South Indian Cinema is currently busy with his two Tamil films, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa with Simbu and Trisha in the lead and Chennaiyil Oru Mazhakalam with Trisha and few freshers in the lead. Later by this year, he is also supposed to do a Telugu project with the Prince of Tollywood, Mahesh Babu in the lead.

Now it's hearing that Gautham Menon is planning for a sequel to his one of the greatest hit ever, Vettaiyadu Vilayadu. It was a spellbinding murder mystery that featured Ulaka nayakan Kamal Hassan and Jyothika in the lead. Vettaiyadu Vilayadu was a superb movie in all manners, and the credits for this must go on to one man, Gautham Menon, director of the film.

As per the reports, Gautham Menon is currently working on the script part, which is expected to be much more stylish and striking than the original. As of now, it's hearing that Jyothika won't be in the sequel and the presence of Kamal Hassan too is under doubt since he is busy with his other commitments. Whatever happens, let's hope the sequel too is as good as the prequel..

Kamal Haasan's 'Marma Yogi' to kickstart soon


'Marma Yogi' is garnering every bit of attention ever since it was announced and the latest news is that the film will start shooting in October in Mumbai. The film will be directed by Kamal Haasan and stars Trisha, Shriya, Hema Malini and Venkatesh apart from the versatile actor himself. The film is to be made in Tamil, English, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously.

'Dasavatharam' opened across many theaters with mixed reviews but then has made it quite majestically to hundred days. Adding to this majestic appeal is the way 'Marma Yogi' is being planned.

Reports indicate that the Red Camera will be used and a Hollywood cinematographer has been roped in. Kamal Haasan and make-up are becoming synonymous these days and one can expect a flamboyant approach with this period film as well. A team of make-up specialists from Hollywood will be part of the team. A new technique called 'Spray Make-up' is being introduced to Indian Cinema with this film.

An extravagant Project Launch for the film is expected to take place in Mumbai after which shooting will commence. The team would fly to many parts of the world including Sweden and of course many parts in India. Set in the 7th century AD, 'Marma Yogi' is expected to showcase a slice of life as it happened then including the diction and social themes.

Kamal Haasan is known to be quite a perfectionist and with his experience, one can expect a stunning affair.

Another huge factor that has to be spot on for 'Marma Yogi' is the costumes part. Being a period film authenticity will have to be maintained in order to be accepted and Gauthami has been assigned this responsibility.

Keep watching this space for more updates as the days roll on.

Kamal Haasan back in Malayalam?


After two decades, Kamal Haasan seems to coming back to Malayalam. A film titled 'Parayan Baakky Vachathu' featuring Kamal Haasan and S P Balasubrahmaniyam in the lead had its pooja last week at Aluva.

State minister S Sharma lighted the ceremonial lamp in the function which was attended by veteran directors like Joshy, Sibi Malayail, and Lohitha das of Malayalam.

The movie will also feature Prabhu, Padmapriya, Muktha, Manikuttam, Jagathy and Kalpana in other prominent roles.

Produced by Shaji T P and Shaji Natesan in the banner of Gil advertisers and Bravo films, the movie is set to be directed by debutante Unni.

Sathyaraj gears up to Beat Kamal Haasan


Kamal Haasan played ten roles in 'Dasavatharam' and the film went on to become a box office success. With this film, Kamal Haasan has also broken the record set by Sivaji Ganesan in Tamil Cinema by playing nine characters in the film 'Navarathiri'.

Our man Sathyaraj does not seem to be happy with this. He is now planning to break the record set by Kamal Haasan by making a film in which he would play eleven characters. The film has been christened 'Avadharam 11'. Moreover, the film would be designed as a laugh riot and a spoof on 'Dasavatharam'.

Sathyaraj had in fact stopped playing conventional hero about ten years ago and still is mighty successful in attracting audiences. His films have attacked and spoofed the 'image' many actors have about themselves. Recreations of hit sequences with his inimitable comic way have gone on to bring the roof down with laughter. Sathyaraj even played 'Chandramukhi' as performed by Jyothika, acted as a person afflicted with short term memory loss aka Gajini and even danced like Silambarasan.

Keeping all this in mind, one gets the feeling that a spoof on 'Dasavatharam' might work wonders at the box office.
