Vijay and Vadivelu in Rush Hour!

Tamil cinema is growing. And it's growing at a really fast rate. There have been directors that brought Hollywood stories to Tamil cinema. Most notably A.R.Muragadoss's Ghajini (Memento in Hollywood), Gautham Menon's Vaaranam Aayiram (draws inspiration from 1994's Forrest Gump), Prabhu Deva's Pokiri(daws inspiration from The Departed), and Mani Ratnam's Nayagan (The Godfather). These are just some films. Now that the budgets for films is increasing, we might get to see the big exposure that Hollywood puts on their films in Tamil! Here are some movies I would like to see get made in Tamil:

Vijay

I Am Legend- If there is one actor who can do a better job than Will Smith, then it's Surya. He's one of the only actors who can do this much intensity in a film. You can also put Asin as the guest role of the mother who comes to rescue the main character. It's a big film, and considering it'swith a big budget, Shankar should be director. Music should also be A.R.Rahman.

Ocean's Eleven- A heist film in Tamil would be great! Imagine if Vijay, Ajith, Surya, Vikram, and some other big stars in Tamil cinema came together and made this remake! Also you can put a lot of the top actresses as well. This film could possibly be the best cast that any tamil film has made! Director should be Venkat Prabhu, because this is his kind of movie. Also music should be Yuvan Shankaraja.

Cast Away- If Kamal wanted to make one last film before he retired, then he should make this film in tamil. The whole film would show him and what he does to survive on an island. It needs an actor who can make the audience sit and watch one person for more than half of the movie. I think Kamal could do this without any problem! Direction should be Gautham Menon to give a Hollywood touch, and music should be Harris Jeyraj(It would be nice to see the Menon-Jeyraj combo one last time).

Scarface- I think Rajini or Vijay should do this one. They could do it Billa style, or just do it regular Indian style. Direction should be K.S. Ravikumar and music should be Vijay Anthony. I wonder if they make Scarface survive in the remake....

The Pursuit of Happiness- This definitly should be remade. Probably Surya or Ajith can do this movie, or even younger actor like Arya or Jayam Ravi. Direction should be A.R. Murragadoss. Music should be the young Dharan.

Rush Hour- Imagine Vijay and Vadivelu as two cops trying to track down gangsters in India and abroad. Well, this film would be a great remake with a nice mix of action and comedy. Direction should be fast, so it has to be Dharani. Music should be Vidyasagar.

There are so many other movies I would like to see happen, but that is just another dream.

Vijay Block!

November 25, 2008

A school in Hosur will have an entire block dedicated to Vijay's name. The block that was built to facilitate the school to accommodate more students in Hosur was scheduled to be inaugurated on Sunday, November 23, 2008. However, due to the heavy monsoon torrential rains that lashed the entire Tamil Nadu, the ceremony turned out to be a dampener.
Vijay

It was also learnt that the actor wanted to avoid the inconvenience that could be caused to public and cut short his meeting. The fans were naturally disappointed that they could not spend more time with their star. As per the plan Vijay was to have distributed various goods to the deserving but this could not be done. It is now learnt that Vijay's PRO P.T.Selva Kumar distributed the stuff the next day on behalf of him.

Vijay's bodyguard - only on success

November 22, 2008

There seems to be a slight change in Vijay's plans for his 50th movie. As reported by us earlier, his 50th movie would be produced by S.A. Chandrasekhar for Vijay's home banner and directed by the Malayalam director Siddique. It was also learnt that the movie will be a remake of the Malayalam movie Bodyguard, now under production directed by Siddique.
Vijay

However, since Bodyguard is only under production Vijay seems to be a bit apprehensive about its effectiveness to be remade into Tamil. Vijay's apprehension is addressed to Siddique and, as it seems, it is decided that Bodyguard would be made in Tamil only if the movie is proving to be a success in Malayalam. If not, Siddique will create an exclusive script for Vijay.

"My moments with Vijay"

DEAR BEHINDWOODS TEAM,

I just wanna share my happiest moments that I had spent with Vijay.
Vijay Fan
That was at the ATM shooting I was jumping to heights because I got the opportunity to speak with Vijay. I've previously been for shoots but didn't get the chance of speaking to him...during the break I met him and spoke how is the film going on and how is sanjay.. and he did asked me what I am doing and also asked to do things in the good manner... he was very polite in his answers and KIND HEARTED human being and I also took photo with Thalapathy...after me some 10 fans were also there to take photographs....

The shoot on that day was Valayapatti song from ATM. I was stunned by Thalapathy's dedication in work… awesome dance... And there is no doubt that he is the KING OF DANCE...

Vijay Fan
REGARDS,

Prakash Raj, the 'Troublemaker' again!

Once again, Prakash Raj, one of the finest actors in the South has become a big trouble maker on the sets.

Recently he failed to turn up for the shooting of the climax session of the Tamil movie Villu for 3 days. This created lot of pain to the producers and the director Prabhu Deva.
Prakash Raj
Director Prabhu Deva has been shooting the scenes along with 'FEFSI' Vijayan and more than 250 crew members in the Tirunelveli area. But, Prakash Raj, who is playing a crucial role in the film, was missing from the shoot, creating great problems for the director and the rest of the unit.

For the last three days the unit was just waiting for him and the production manager was forced to start hunting for the actor. Finally the actor sent a message, informing them about his availability for the shooting from November 21st (Friday) onwards. It may be recalled that the actor has once even faced a ban from the Telugu Film Chamber for these kind of activities in the Tamil film industry.

Prakash Raj missing, Villu climax halts

November 20, 2008

Villu is all done but for its grand scale climax. The crew that was stationed in Tirunelveli recently for the shoots was in doldrums with Prakash Raj, who plays a significant role in the movie, was not to be found for the shots. However, it is nothing new for Prakash Raj, who was earlier warned by the Telugu Film Council, for similar behavior when he decided to call it quits for issues with the producer.
Prakash Raj

Director Prabhu Deva was reportedly in a fix since Villu is running on a tight schedule with a pre-Pongal release plan. Last heard, Prakash Raj, who vanished from the sets owing to unsettled disputes with the producers, turned up finally relieving Prabhu Deva's anxiety. With this, the shoots will commence soon, and hopefully be released before Pongal.

Vijay speaks in Sinhala

Urging the Sri Lankan government to implement ceasefire, actor Vijay on Sunday spoke a few words in Sinhala so that `those at the helm of affairs in the island nation could understand it and stop attacking innocent Tamils.'

At a hunger protest organised by the actor's fans' club in Chennai, he hoped that the attack on Tamils would certainly come to an end in the neighbouring country. `My fans' club members are staging fasts in 37 places today,' he said.

CPI State secretary D Pandian, actors Jayam Ravi, Vikranth, Sriman, directors Perarasu, Velu Prabhakaran, Ramana, Vijay's parents S A Chandrasekaran and Shobha, his wife Sangeetha and others took part in the fast.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is shooting the climax of Villu directed by Prabhudeva in villages of Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.

It is learnt that the thrilling climax, which is touted to be one of the highlights of the film, will feature over 250 artistes.

Meanwhile, according to sources, Vijay is doing a dual role as father and son in this action-packed family entertainer, said to be based on Abbas Mastan's Soldier, which featured Bobby Deol and Priety Zinta in the lead roles. The latest we hear is that the yesteryear popular heroine Ranjita, a discovery of Bharathiraja, is making a comeback as `Appa' Vijay's pair. The `son' Vijay's heroine is Nayanthara, and the music is composed by Mani Sharma.

Villu- All's well that ends well!

Ayngaran International's prestige IlayathalapathyVijay's Villu climax scenes are being shot in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.

Director Prabhu Deva is shooting the scenes along with FEFSI Vijayan and some fight masters. It is going to be an awesome climax with over 250 people taking part in the shoot, which is going to be one of the highlights of the film.

Meanwhile as per sources Vijay is doing a dual role as father and son in this action packed family entertainer. Vijay's heroine is Nayanthara, and the music is composed by Mani Sharma.

However Prakashraj, who is playing a crucial role in the film was missing from the shoot, creating great problems for the director and the rest of the unit. Prakash it seems was cut up with the producers, so he just bunked the shoot!

So for the last three days the unit was just waiting for him as the production manager and his men started a hunt for the elusive star. Finally they tracked down the sulking Prakash who reluctantly agreed to take part in the shoot from Friday (Nov 21).

Ilayathalapathy gets hot overseas!!!


From a long time, a question has been raised as to who will be the next successors to folks like Superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in the overseas market. The most hottest names shortlisted were Ilayathalapathi Vijay and 'Ultimate Star' Ajith.

A lot of debate, discussion and analysis has gone on this and now the experts say that it is the Dravidian looks of Vijay and his mass movies that have really caught the attention of the overseas viewers and his movie have been enjoying great demand.

Not only, that he has created a lot of market in UK, Canada, Europe, Australia and he is now moving towards Malaysia and Singapore. Good going Vijay!!!

Film stars and fasting

Early this month, almost all the top stars of the Tamil film industry participated in a Unnavrutham (fast) that was held at the Nadigar Sangam to Ilayathalapathy Vijay (TOI Photo)
protest the killing of innocent Tamils in the war between the Sri Lankan Army and the Tamil rebels in the eastern part of the island nation.

The big stars of the industry — Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijaykanth, Vijay, Vikram, Ajit, Surya, Sarath Kumar, Nayanthara, Trisha and almost all who have a box-office pull, made it to the fast.

No other issue has united the industry and brought together all stars under one roof like this one has. They also made lavish donations to the Sri Lankan relief fund. Rajinikanth topped the list with a contribution of Rs 10 lakhs.

A few days later, Kamal Haasan did not celebrate his birthday as he was hurt by the happenings in the neighbouring island. And last Sunday, Ilayathalapathy Vijay, along with thousands of his fans, went on a fast to protest the happenings in Sri Lanka.

Not to be left behind, the next day, Surya joined hands with techies to form a human chain in front of Tidel Park to express solidarity with the Lankan Tamils.

Why is Kollywood on the boil regarding the Sri Lankan Tamil issue? Why are the stars falling over each other in their one-upmanship games to show their concern for an issue that was not on their agenda till recently?

The answer is simple — the overseas Tamil box-office is controlled by the Sri Lankan Tamils. From a Rs 1 crore market (for Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan films) in 2000, it has burgeoned to a Rs 10 - 12 crore market for the superstars, mainly due to Sri Lankan Tamils and new markets. Today, overseas or what Kollywood calls the FMS Territory, is the most lucrative of the lot as far as film rights in Tamil are concerned.

London-based K Karunamoorthy of Ayngaran International, a Sri Lankan Tamil and the market leaders in distributing Tamil films abroad, is the man who pioneered and made the overseas market boom.
His Ayngaran International, set up in 1989, was largely responsible for creating new markets for Tamil films in European countries, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, where Sri Lankan immigrants of Tamil origin are settled.

Today, Ayngaran is the leading production house in Kollywood, and most big-budget movies are funded by them. Says Karunamoorthy, “The overseas market was booming before the current economic slowdown. The total box-office gross collection of Tamil cinema is today one-fourth of Bollywood outside India and growing every year, and is basically star-driven.”

Says veteran Madurai-based distributor Thangavelu, “During MGR days, NSC (North and South Arcot, Chengalpet), TT (Tiruchi and Thanjavur) and Madurai were the most important territories, but in the late 90s, after Rajinikanth and Kamal became superstars, the overseas market became bigger, thanks to the large number of Sri Lankan immigrants. Today, the next superstar in Tamil cinema, whether it is Vijay or Ajit, will be determined by what the trade calls the overseas vote bank.”

Vijay, with his typical Dravidian looks, mass movies and his concern for the Sri Lankan Tamils is fast emerging as the fastest rising superstar in the overseas market.

Vijay’s movies have already captured the markets in UK, Europe, Canada and Australia and are making deep inroads into the traditional old settlement areas like Malaysia and Singapore.

It is not difficult to see why this cause is particularly important to Kollywood actors

A 'new old' heroine for Vijay

November 19, 2008

If sources are to be believed, Vijay's Villu directed by Prabhu Deva should be ready for release even before Pongal. As per the latest buzz, the film is loosely based on Soldier, a Hindi flick released in 1998 starring Preity Zinta and Bobby Deol. Vijay is said to don a double role - dad and son and the latter is out to prove and establish that his dad was loyal to the country and was never treacherous as purported by the enemy camp. He is basically working towards clearing a tarnished image of his dad.

Actress Ranjitha, director Bharathiraja's find who had retired from filmdom after her marriage will be donning the role of Vijay's mom i.e. the wife of dad Vijay. She is said to be appearing in flashback sequences and her role is said to be very significant. Though the actress was not too keen to appear in silver screen again, it was said that she heeded to director Prabhu Deva's request after listening to the script.

Ajith, Vijay to slash their rates - Behindwoods

November 19, 2008

Global recession seems to be the buzz word these days. It is affecting all walks of life in various ways. Needless to say, tinsel world is also drastically affected by recession. A few years back, movie industry witnessed a sudden influx of corporates into their domain, who were willing to try different types of films for different types of audience.

Ajith, Vijay
This encouraged the entry of talented youngsters who were giving quality films in many of the Indian languages. Corporatisation also saw the sudden steep in the salary offered to top stars.

However with the recession, things have turned a volte-face and now the industry is working towards bringing down the salary of stars to keep them going. In Bollywood, many leading stars have opted to go down on their salary. In Kollywood too it has been said that corporate film companies will be reducing their salaries to the stars and stars like Ajith and Vijay also will be reducing their remuneration. When President of Producer's Council Rama Narayanan was approached to give his opinion on this, he said, "I am not aware of the salary policies of the corporate companies towards Tamil stars. But our council will be discussing on this in our next meeting."

Ranjitha in the role of Vijay's mother

Ranjitha, the yesteryear heroine who was introduced by director Bharathiraja in Nadodi Thendral, is to play the role of Vijay's mother in the Prabhu Deva directed movie Villu.
Ranjitha
Ranjitha, who made her debut in the early nineties (the same time when Vijay also started his career) has played heroine in many successful films including Sathyaraj's Amaithipadai.

After entering wedlock the actress switched over to small screens and acted in some serials including the successful one Roja. Now she is back to the big silver screen with a senior lady role.

In Villu, Vijay plays dual roles and Nayantara plays his lady love. The film is scheduled for Pongal 2009.

Vijay ready for politcal plunge

Rumors are doing the rounds in Kollywood that Vijay is getting ready to launch himself into politics.

The actor's plans to undertake a fast on Sunday along with members of his fans' association at Chepauk on Chennai is seen as his maiden attempt to foray into politics.

It may be recalled that he launched a flag for his fans association. Also a recent survey by Loyola College concluded that he enjoys more popularity than Rajinikanth in Tamilnadu.

Amidst such a scenario, his move to hold a fast for Lankan Tamils obviously throws out a lot of speculations. The fast would be inaugurated by his father and acclaimed director S A Chandrasekhar. Prominent film personalities are expected to take part in the Fast.

Fans of Vijay hope that their favorite hero would give hints on his entry to politics at the Fast protest. They say it is a show of their strength for a common cause.

It may be recalled that Rajnikanth had recently turned down the request of his fans to

Yesteryear heroine Ranjitha, introduced by director Bharathiraja in 'Nadodi Thendral', plays Vijay's mother in 'Villu'.

It may be recalled that yesteryear heroine Geetha played Vijay's mother in 'Sivakasi' and Simran did the same for Surya in 'Varanam Ayiram'.

Now it is Ranjitha's turn to take up a senior role. The actress, who had been part of several films in the early 1990's, ventured onto the small screen after her marriage. Now she is back to play Vijay's mother in the silver screen.

'Villu' directed by Prabhudeva, features Vijay in dual roles and Nayanthara plays his ladylove.

The hunger fast, held in 37 places in all of Tamil Nadu,

witnessed a turn around of 5000 fans in Chennai alone. Apart from the fans, leaders from some political parties also showed their support and visited the location in Chennai, near Chepauk Stadium.

The fast started at 8.00 a.m. with the initiation ceremony performed by Vijay's father S.A. Chandrasekhar. While addressing the gathering, he mentioned that it was an attempt to show solidarity towards the genocide in Sri Lanka and that people from all sections of the society were participating in the fast to support the cause.

Vijay joined the gathering later on and sat through the day. An emotional Vijay noted that he had no words to express gratitude to his fans for organizing the fast. The fast ended at 4.00 p.m. with Vijay's mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, distributing juice.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Unnavrutham!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Unnavrutham!

By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 16 November , 2008, 12:32

Ilayathalapathy Vijay started his Unnavrutham (fast) to protest against the violence against Tamils in Sri Lanka today (Nov 16) morning in front of the Chepauk government guest house in Chennai.

From early morning, a huge contingent of Vijay fans converged at the venue in mini buses, autos, SUV's and two wheelers with party blue and white flag flying high. The star came in his new silver Nissan X-5, at around 10am.

As he tried to get on the stage the huge crowd erupted and was overjoyed to see their hero. The police had a tough time in controlling the crowds. A young crazy fan rushed from the crowd and made it to the stage and kissed Vijay on the cheeks before he was pushed out by the star's security men.

In Pics: Vijay at the Unnavritham, his different moods

Vijay's father S.A Chandrasekhar is the master of ceremonies. He had tough time controlling the crowds and at the same time seeing to it that the speakers did not say anything inflammatory.

When actor Mansoor Ali Khan said about Sri Lankan President Rajapakse and how he comes to India to get arms, SAC tactfully led him off the stage. As SAC remarked: "Please note this is not a Unnavrutham conducted by any political party, but a protest against the inhuman treatment of Tamils in Sri Lanka. We want the government to hear the voice of the youth, the lakhs of Vijay fans."

Later Vijay himself sitting on the stage in an informal chat with sify.com said: "I'm doing this on the request of my fans. My heart, like my fans, bleed for the Sri Lankan Tamils trapped in a war thrust on them. I want this war stopped, so that all Tamil people can live in peace."

Vijay and Ajith are great friends!

This news will elate the fans of two Kollywood icons – Ajith and Vijay. Though their fans often compare them and treat them as competitors, Ajith and Vijay have proved often that they are very close friends and have rubbished the talks about competition between them. At film functions, they both are often seen sharing jokes and engaged in serious discussions, and this has become a common sight these days. They have great mutual respect and even take care that
they do not hurt each others' fans!

Recently, in one such display of care for Vijay's fans, Ajith changed the name of Aegan's villain. In Aegan, actor Suman (who re-emerged in Kollywood with Sivaji) plays the villain and his onscreen name is Joseph Chinnappa. When Ajith came to know about this, he requested director Raju Sundaram to change the character's name. When he found a perplexed look on Raju's face, he explained that his friend and actor Vijay's full name is Joseph Vijay and that he does not want to
hurt or irate his fans by naming his film's villain after him – no matter even if it is a lesser-known first name of Ilayathalapathy. In a similar fashion, Vijay too painstakingly looks for any factor, which could irate Ajith fans, and eliminates it from his films! Phew!

Well, these stars are so cordial to each other that they do not treat each other as rivals even on the silver screen! Then why do we fans try to compare them, create an imaginary rivalry between them, and then lament that Kollywood has lesser "double-hero" films than
Bollywood. Maybe, it is us – the highly sensitive fans – who are the reason for frontline Kollywood heroes not acting together!

Vijay - "Villu is shaping up well"

Dear Behindwoods Team,

I am an ardent visitor of BW. I personally feel anything published on your site will reach millions of hearts. Recently IlayaThalapathy Vijay came to Tuticorin for shooting of his movie Villu. He was put up in Satya Resorts and no banners were kept in order to reduce the crowd during shooting time.
Vijay Fan

But still a huge crowd came to watch Vijay, and shooting didn't take place for 2 days. A chase scene was planned to take in Tiruchendur Bye-pass road and a song sequence in Manapaadu, a seashore area. I took much pains to meet Vijay, but I couldn't meet him.

On a fine day morning when we went to Satya resorts, we saw Vijay walking out of his room as usual in his casual looking wear. The gardeners who were working there felt happy on seeing him. He smiled, waved hands and wished them. You could see the smiling faces of those gardeners in the photo also. And when we went near him, the time was almost 9 and it was late for shooting. But yet he took 2 photos with us patiently and said "Villu is shaping up so good. Do watch it with family", and as usual bid us good bye with his trade mark smile.

While taking the photo, I was just standing at a distance, but Vijay came close and put his hands over my shoulder- just like my close pal and took it. No words to describe his humbleness.

I'll keep on updating the shoot from Pearl city.

Regards,
S.Siby

ரசிகர்கள் ரகளை-விஜய் படப்பிடிப்பு 2 முறை ரத்து

தூத்துக்குடி மாவட்டம் உடன்குடி அருகே மணப்பாடு மற்றும் தேரிக்குடியிருப்பு ஆகிய இடங்களில் நடிகர் பிரபுதேவா இயக்கத்தில் நடிகர் விஜய் நடிக்கும் வில்லு படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு நேற்று முதல் நடந்து வருகிறது.

Vijay's bodyguard!

Vijay seems to be nearing 50 (movies) and how. Before his 48th flick Villu's shoots are over, plans are shaping up for his 50th film. As reported by us earlier, the movie would be produced by S.A. Chandrasekhar for Vijay's home banner and directed by the Malayalam director Siddique.

As per the latest buzz, the movie will be the remake of the Dilip starrer Malayalam flick Bodyguard. Known for his comedy movies, Siddique also seems to have obtained Vijay's consent about Bodyguard. The movie's script, however, would undergo regionalization techniques
to be in tune with the interests of the actor's fan base. Siddique's association with Vijay is nothing new as he has already directed the actor for the hit movie Friends.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s 50th film details

After completing work on his 48th film 'Villu', Vijay will start the shoot of his 49th film 'Vettaikaran' some time in December for producer AVM Balasubramaniam.

Meanwhile, Vijay is planning to make his golden jubilee film for his home production under the guidance of his father S.A Chandrasekhar. The buzz is that the film will be directed by Malayalam director Siddique, who had earlier done Friends with him.

Siddique is a master story teller and is good at family entertainers. Siddique had earlier narrated the one line story to Vijay and his dad who immediately gave the green signal to the project.

Sources close to Siddique told sify.com- "The same subject will be tried out in Malayalam by the director first and then he will do the remake in Tamil making the necessary nativity changes."

As of now Siddique will make it as Bodyguard in Malayalam with Dileep and likely Bhavana as heroine. The shoot of the film which will be produced by Johnny Sagariga will begin in March 2009, and will be Dileep's July 4 release. Vijay's 50th film is slated for Pongal 2010.

Will Bodyguard remake be Vijay’s 50th film?

This is the most popular rumour circulating in Kollywood – Vijay's 50th film will be a remake of the Malayalam hit film Bodyguard which starred Dileep. It is heard that Bodyguard figured in the discussions between Vijay and Siddique! But it is too early to confirm anything in this
matter.

But as reported earlier, S.A. Chandrasekaran will produce Vijay's 50th film and famous Malayalam film director Siddique will direct it. This is not the first time that Siddique will direct Vijay – their combination rocked in the super hit Friends. Siddique and Vijay have a good sense of humour and love to do comedy subjects. But it is heard that Vijay prefers his 50th film to be the right mix of action and comedy, in line with his new image.

At present, Vijay is busy with Villu, directed by Prabhu Deva, a remake of the famous Bollywood blockbuster Soldier (Preity Zinta and Bobby Deol).

Vijay fans' protest on November 16

The whole of Kollywood protested the ongoing civil war in Sri Lanka and its effect on Sri Lankan Tamils. Now it is the turn of the fans! On November 16th, Vijay’s fans will assemble at Chepauk and fast until dusk as a mark of protest against the Lankan civil war.

This was decided at a special meeting held recently; immediately a petition was submitted to Commissioner Sekar seeking permission to hold a protest, who sanctioned it after the fans promised him they will maintain law and order during the protest. Now, preparations are underway to hold a peaceful protest in Chepauk on November 16. This decision has been taken by Vijay’s fan club members and not by Vijay.

It may be recalled that during the Nadigar Sangam protest on November 1st, Vijay had requested his fans to send telegrams to the Prime Minister requesting him (PM) to stop the Lankan civil war. Then in the protest held by FEFSI, he thanked his fans for responding by sending thousands of telegrams per day and also requested them to send even more telegtams.

The entire film industry has been surprised at this move by Vijay's fans.

Siddique to direct Vijay's 50th film

After this he will act in the film Vetaikaran to be produced by A V M Balasubramanian. Vijay will also act in a triple role which is to be directed by Gowtham Menon.

When asked him how he deals with stress, he says, "I spend time with family and friends. But like I said, with friends the topic is always cinema. I also watch all movies irrespective of their performance at the box office- oduna padam, odaadhga padam, everything. I love Mission Impossible so much that I watched it every opportunity I got. It's one of my favourite film till date. The theme song is still the ring tone of my mobile."

Siddique – the man behind Vijay's 50th film

Vijay's 50th film would be directed by Malayalam filmmaker Siddique, who had earlier worked with the actor in for the film 'Friends.'

According to sources, the movie would be produced by Vijay's father S.A. Chandrasekaran.

Vijay, who listened to the storyline, gave his consent immediately to act in the film, it is learnt.

Vijay is currently acting in the film 'Villu' which is directed by Prabhu Deva. He'll then be seen in a film titled 'Vettaikaran' followed by his 50th film which will be directed by Siddique.

Moviebuzz | Sunday, 09 November , 2008, 13:28

Is Ilayathalapathy Vijay having political dreams of floating his own political party? After superstar Rajinikanth's interaction with his fans turned out to be a success, Vijay and his advisers are thinking about dabbling in politics by using his strong fan base.

At the fast organized by Nadigar Sangam in support of the Sri LankanTamils who are facing genocide, Vijay in his speech urged his fans to send telegrams to the Indian Prime Minister to intervene. According to sources in the telegraph department it was a huge success as nearly 50,000 telegrams were sent from Tamilnadu to the PM's office.

Now to up the ante on the Sri Lankan issue the star and his fans are conducting a one-day fast and protest at the Chepauk Guest House in Government Estate in Chennai on November 16.

On Vijay's birthday last June his fans launched the party flag. It seems like his father, producer and director S A Chandrasekhar, is grooming his son for the most important job in the state.

What's cooking for Pongal?

After a disastrous Diwali, Kollywood is now looking forward to Pongal 2009 with a lot of hope and anticipation.

The number of movies will be less, though prior to it everybody will claim that they will come out for Pongal.

As of now, the sure bets seems to be Ayngaran International's prestigious Vijay-Nayanthara starrer Villu. AVM's Surya- Tamannaah action entertainer Ayan and Dhanush- Tamannaah action comedy Padikathavan.

One of the Kavithalaaya films either Arjun's Thiruvannamalai or Jeevan's Krishnaleelai is likely to make it. The buzz is that Aascar Films Siddharth- Tamannaah love story Ananda Thandavam is also slated for Pongal

Fans send 30,000 telegrams

Chennai Nov. 4: When actor Vijay asked his fans to send one crore telegrams to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging his intervention for a ceasefire in Sri Lanka during the November 1 hunger strike by actors here, his fans took him seriously. An unprecedented telegram traffic of 30,000 to Delhi on the Lankan issue was reported from Chennai, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur and Tiruttani in the last two days. That is a much better response to what similar appeals by chief minister M. Karunanidhi and AIADMK leader J. Jayalalithaa had evoked.

Karunanidhi's appeal to his cadres to send telegrams for the same cause saw a mere 1,200 telegrams being sent from these centres in two days. When the AIADMK supremo asked her party workers to send telegrams urging Mr Karunanidhi to quit over his `somersault' on Lankan issue, the figures were slightly better at 5,000 telegrams sent in two days according to reliable sources in the telegraph department.

"Since Sun News telecast the fast of actors live, many fans across the state had a chance to listen to Vijay Sir who urged them to send one crore telegrams to the Prime Minister for pressuring Sri Lanka for a ceasefire. That may be the reason for the spurt in telegram traffic," reasoned Mr Thennilavan, one of the public relations officers of the actor. The state's post and telegraph department is not complaining though as the increased telegraphic traffic has generated additional revenue in a sector that was finding few takers with the advent of mobiles and email. "The everyday telegram traffic has increased two times in the last month," admitted Mr Mahendra Kumar, GM, BSNL Circle office here.

Common love of Ajith and Vijay

November 4th, 2008

Common love of Ajith and Vijay

The actors on their contrastive style of performance, having equivalent style of mass appeals across the far-flung corners of the World; Vijay and Ajith is what we are getting on with. Both of them had been so close over the times and in the midst got separated due to some misunderstandings and back again to the good terms. Well, this isn't something we wanted to get on with…

Here goes there common love of interest and it's none other than their passion for bikes..

Ajith Kumar keeps it a point of going for high speed biking in the night times since there wouldn't be any interruption for him. Similarly, Vijay loves riding bike very often during his leisure times, but he gets despaired since his father doesn't allow him to do. Even today, he comes along with his friend on bike for the first day first show of films to the theatres where his films get released.

So, any guys and missies getting frequently putting your hands for drops; don't get surprised if you have these stars giving your lifts.

Lawrence targets Vijay and Ajith?

Choreographer-turned-actor-turned-director Lawrence caught the attention of the film fraternity with his speech at the fast organized to condemn the killing of Sri Lankan Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Lawrence appealed to the fans of Rajini, Vijay and Ajith to stop doing the traditional Palabishekam on their favorite stars while their film is being released.

The actor rued that the milk used for the purpose just goes down the drain and is not useful even to the cats. Now, that thought received accolades from all quarters. The star also handed over a cheque on behalf of himself and his orphanage.

Lawrence's talk is sure to strike the right chords among those concerned. However, when the star was questioned whether this is just another gimmick to catch the attention of the biggies or was he particularly targeting Rajini, Vijay and Ajith, he said that he merely put forth his ideas and there was nothing more to it.

Kuruvi or Aegan - Don't lose your life

Behindwoods Team,

We all know that Behindwoods is one of the leading movie portal websites, and I feel it play an important role in determining public perspective. You have the great potential to make a huge impact on today's youngsters. Please pass this across to our youngsters.

Lots of youngsters in Tamilnadu are really good at heart, and are sentimentally and emotionally affected by cinema. I feel movies are meant more for entertainment, and that we need to watch it for our relaxation, whenever we are free from studies or work. It would be beautif ul if every youngster is equally passionate about family, friends and our country's growth. I was very moved to learn from Behindwoods that one of Ajith’s fans wept because Aegan was a disappointment. Another Behindwood’s visitor wrote to ponder –quite accurately – how Kuruvi, a flop – could celebrated 150 days.

Whether Vijay, Ajith or Rajini, they are all very talented actors, which is why they are popular. They are also good human beings, which is why they do so many charitable things for society. Stars have been urging fans to also focus on studies and career, and not be too obsessed with cinema. My feeling is that fans should enjoy watching a movie if it is a hit, and if it is not, just let it go rather than become caught up with why it flopped, and how this might damage the star.

Once I too was crazy about movies and stars. But I was jobless then and didn’t even have money for food. I was searching for something in my life, and it was not to be found in cinema. It’s only because of my parents and friends I was able to survive. I understood it late and then I started concentrating on my career. Now I am well settled, and don’t want this aimless drifting and preoccupation with stars to affect the lives of other youngsters. I watch movies now, but strictly for their entertainment value.

Please friends, love your dear actors but don’t become crazy over them. Even your stars don’t wish that for you.

Yours truly,
Rajesh,

Ajith, Vijay and Kamal raise voices

November 01, 2008

The all day fast on behalf of Sri Lankan Tamils by Tamil actors is in full swing as we report this. Several noted actors and stars turned up in black to signify their presence in the protest. Rajini arrived but did not have a badge pinned on him; someone quickly found one and pinned it on him. As we upload this new s, Rajini is still waiting to speak.
Rajini & Kamal

Radha Ravi extolled the stars for turning up in full even though many were not even in Tamil Nadu, busy with shooting schedules. He said Trisha, Nayanthara, Vikram and many others had to come a long way to attend the fast.

Ajith, dressed in black, looked weary, and even bored. He sat with his head in his hands, often looking around vacantly. Kamal was like a rock, betraying nothing. Rajini was his easy self, smiling occasionally, even agreeing with some speakers visibly by nodding his head. Vijay looked partly interested, and sat very quietly, with his arms folded – which is typical for him in functions. Vikram was comfortable, and was seen in a cap.

Radha Ravi broke into a fiery speech a bout why holding a fast in Chennai is equally important and effective as one in Rameshwaram. He also chided the government for rapping the Tamil cinema fraternity for what had been said over the Sri Lankan issue. His argument was: do we actors and cinema people not know politics? Was not MGR an actor? Is not Karunanidhi a scriptwriter? In other words, he was saying that the cinema fraternity knows the complexity of the issue at hand and will not speak out irresponsibly or naively. He finished by inviting Ajith to address the gathering.

After being received with a tremendous applause, Ajith said a few strong words. He began with the ‘Udal mannukku, uyir Thamizhukku’ which seemed to have a great effect on everyone. He also said that not explicitly stating one’s thoughts did not mean that one does not care about a particular issue.

He was as concerned about the welfare of Tamils as anyone. He also had a go at a few publications that carried false reports about him and requested them to not mix cinema with other issues.

Right after Ajith, Vijay was welcomed with another rousing applause. Citing that the struggling Tamils of Sri Lanka had now been for years without the basic necessities of life and that the film fraternity was now showing their solidarity by observing this fast. He made a call to all his fans and people who cared about their struggling brothers to send petitions to the Prime Minister of India demanding a solution to the issue. He hoped that the number of petitions would not fall short of a crore.

Then, it was Kamal’s turn. He chose to differ from Radha Ravi’s thought that emotions should be kept in check while raising an issue. He said that if the issue was one that really hurt us deeply, then emotions would invariably flow. It is because of this that two fellow directors had to wear a crown of thorns and go jail. But now, they have returned to a reception of garlands. He also said that the response and protests to the struggles of Tamils must not be seen as a regional one and that he would raise his voice wherever people were in trouble.

Lankan Atrocities - Actor's Fast In Protest

Indiaglitz
[Saturday, November 01, 2008]

Tamil film actors came together today to protest against the atrocities meted out to Sri Lankan Tamils as a result of the ethnic war that is raging in the island nation. The protest was in the form of a fast organized by the Nadigar Sangam headed by actor – politician Sarath Kumar.

The complete who's who (actors) of the Tamil film industry was present. Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijayakanth, Ajith, Vijay, Vikram, Suriya, Vadivelu, Vivek, Vishal, Bharath, Prasanna, S J Suryah, Karan, Karthi, Nayanthara, Trisha, Sneha, Ramya Krishnan, Thol Thirumavalavan, S A Chandrasekhar, S. Ve. Shekher, Abirami Ramanathan, 'Jayam' Ravi, Vignesh among others.

The Nadigar Sangam had very clearly asked its members not to indulge in emotional rhetoric as cases of sedition may be filed against them.

The Nadigar Sangam's fast comes as a comprehensive show of support to the displaced and suffering Tamil masses in the Island nation of Sri Lanka who have been bombed and slaughtered in a gory fashion in recent times.

Why Vilangiyal Poorna is chasing Vijay?

The babe who did Muniyaandi, Vilangiyal Moondraam Aandu is said to chasing Vijay, but always fails to catch him.

She is openly accepting about she chasing Vijay.

As the news reached this reporter, we indulged in investigation and found the truth and purpose behind her chase.

Vijay during the audio release function of Vilangiyal, said that Poorna looks like Asin and as he always has a special craze for Asin, he wished Poorna to take the place of Asin.

Understanding the meaning of Vijay's open statement, Poorna is chasing Vijay to prove that she is more than Asin in all means and thank him for indentifying her as next Asin for him!
