Vijays wins Trisha over Simbu !

By Behindwoods News Bureau.
March 31, 2007

Many heroines were approached to feature as Simbu's love interest in his forthcoming film Kaala. Initially Trisha was a strong contender for this role and an affirmation from her was considered just a formality. In the beginning it was thought that she had some call sheet problem.

But reliable sources reveal that a film with Vijay and Dharani proved to be a stronger enticement for this lady which kept her away from Kaala. Therefore the team of Kaala was forced to look for another heroine for their film.

Now according to the grapevine Genelia of Boys and Sachin fame has accepted to play the Simbu's heroine in Kaala. This will be Simbu's film after Vallavan and is being directed by Tarun Gopi of Thimiru fame. Harris Jeyaraj scores the music for the film and R D Rajashekar will be responsible for cinematography department. Now another heroine is being scouted for Simbu's next film 'Kettavan'.

Success brings them together

IndiaGlitz
[Saturday, March 24, 2007]

Director Dharani, who has been in the hiding for the last couple of years, is all set to bounce back.

Touted the successful director in Tamil cinema for back-to-back hits in Dhil, Dhool and Ghilli, Dharani is expected to wield the megaphone for the movie starring Vijay and Trisha again.

The trio had been party of Ghilli before. The movie would be produced by Karunanidhi' s grandson Udhayanidhi and would go to floors once Vijay completes his Azhagiya Thamizh Magan.

Sources close to Dharani say, �The movie would be a racy commercial entertainer, quite typical to Ghilli.�

Malayalam is 'really tough', says Tamil star Vijay
Updated: 03-21-2007

Thiruvananthapuram, March 20 (IANS) Tamil cinema's action hero Vijay says he can't act in a Malayalam film because he is unfamiliar with the 'really tough' language.

'I have been offered roles, but you know Malayalam is really tough so I have not gone ahead with the offers,' Vijay told reporters here.

He was in the city to celebrate the 75th day celebrations of his latest Tamil blockbuster 'Pokkiri', his 46th film. Though Vijay has never worked in a Malayalam film, the actor is hugely popular in Kerala and even has a fans association here. Asked why, he shot back: 'It is for you to find out.'

He was careful not to talk about politics. 'I am not interested in politics...' Vijay said when asked who would make the better chief minister - J. Jayalalitha or M. Karunanidhi.

The star said he had no problems in acting with rival Ajith: 'The problem is a script and if it is there, why not?'
