Dec 11, 2006
Shoots of Pokkiri have been progressing in top gear in and around Chennai city. Now, news has it that the movie is as good as finished except for a few dance numbers. To can a couple of these songs in breathtaking locales in Australia – to abide by the tacit policy of Tamil cinema – the crew has embarked on a flight from Chennai Airport last evening.
Since Asin had a small mishap at the sets of Pokkiri, it is difficult to shoot a dance sequence indoors as close-up shots would reveal Asin writhing in pain. Hence the crew has planned to shoot dance scenes in Australia where long shots can be combined with picturesque greenery of the country side wherein facial expressions can be done away with.
Besides Asin, the crew included Vijay, dance master Raju Sundaram, and cinematographer Nirav Shah. Surprisingly, the unit did not comprise of Prabhudeva the director of Pokkiri. The ace dancer seemed to have entrusted the responsibility to his big bro Raju Sundaram. The crew's homecoming is expected on December 17 th after the completion of the shoots.
Pokkiri has raised high expectations among Vijay fans and the audio release of the movie is slated in the near future. Mani Sharma scores music for Pokkiri.

Namitha & Shreya in an indirect brawl for Vijay
Dec 11, 2006
Generally, in a film with two heroines, it is only natural that one has a heavier portion with respect to the other. This again depends on the market value and the image of the actor in question. Heroines by and large would be aware of this before signing on the dotted line. Of course, established heroines would never agree to feature in a twin heroine subject or at the most would ensure that they get a heavier role when compared to the other one.
In this context, an interesting scenario has emerged relating to Vijay's upcoming Azagiya Tamizh Magan. Though Shreya is the heroine of the film, the other lady Namitha is said to be staking claims for heroine-ship for this film. It is not known if Namitha was given to
understand in this manner.

Vijay jealous of Kamal
Dec 10, 2006
"I am jealous of Kamal's histrionics in acting", Ilaya Thalapathy had remarked during an interview. It is a known fact in Kollywood that Vijay has a lot of appreciation and reverence for his senior artists. When quizzed about his favourite actors, he spontaneously said that Sivaji, Kamal and Vikram are his all time favourites.
Though he has developed his own style in acting, he still feels inadequate in front of these veterans. At a time when technology has not made many inroads into Kollywood, Kamal had flabbergasted the audience donning the role of a dwarf in Aboorva Sagodarargal. Till
date, people are still guessing about how he had made a convincing appearance as a dwarf in the movie.
In the same vein, Vikram's soul stirring performance in Kasi has really appealed to Vijay. In the
tinsel world, when open appreciation is a rare commodity Vijay's accolades to his fellow actors comes as a welcome change.

AR Rehman for Appachan film!!!
Swargachitra Appachan had to wait for more than 2 years to see his film with Vijay begin. But the two years' waiting time has helped a lot in loosening his purse.
The reputed producer is going out of his way to make the film lavish.Tamil film industry has two new generation superstars- actor Vijay and music composer AR Rehman. These days, Rehman is busy with music composition of Rajinikanth' s megabudget film 'Shivaji'.
Most filmmakers in Tamil hesitate to bring AR Rehman into their films because there are constant rumors that the music director is very expensive and takes a lot of time to complete his assignments.

But that hasn't deterred Swargachitra Appachan from signing him up for his new film, 'Azagiya Tamiz Magan'.
This is the first time that Rehman is going to compose for Vijay. Director Dharani's main associate, Bharatan is going to direct this film.
'Shivaji'-fame Shreya is going to be the heroine. She has managed to get clearance from the makers of 'Shivaji' to star in this film. Rumors are on that she was paid heftily for the offer.
Let's hope that Appachan recovers all these big investments when the film gets released.
P.S: The underlined word is a wrong info from Cinesouth. This is Rahman's second movie for Vijay, first being Udhaya.

Asin injured!
By Moviebuzz
Thursday, 07 December, 2006, 10:13
Asin, the heart throb of Tamil cinema created a minor injury scare when a nail pierced through her heel. It happened while she was shooting for Prabhu Deva directed Pokiri on Wednesday (6th Dec) evening at AVM studio.
Asin and Vijay were completing the last bit of a fast folk number (a Kuthu patu), which had heavy steps. Dinesh Master, the choreographer under the supervision of Prabhu Deva was shooting the song for the last six days.
Asin and Vijay along with 50 dancers were doing this fast number, when the incident took place. Asin was dancing barefoot when a small nail on the sets pierced her heel. As she cried out in pain, all unit members rushed to her and shooting was stopped.
Asin was given first aid immediately. Vijay and Prabhu Deva were willing to give her some time, so that she can take rest. But Asin the professional that she is, refused to stop the shoot and 10 minutes later was back on the sets doing the difficult steps with ease and smile on her face.
After the pack-up, on the advice of her mother Dr Celine, Asin went to a hospital near by and took a Tetanus injection. From there she went straight to the dubbing studio and completed her dubbing work for Aalwar. Well, Asin is truly what we call the complete professional!

Is Azhagiya Tamil magan a remake?
Dec 06, 2006
This season seems to be the season of remakes and remixes. On the positive side of this emerging trend, the film maker is able to bring in the latest style of narration to an old idea. But if this is overdone, is sure to give the movie goers a feeling that the industry is totally stripped of ideas. Bollywood can boast itself to have pioneered this idea in Indian film industry with so many remakes doing the round like Sholay, Don etc.
Now this fever seems to have gripped our Kollywood too. It has been widely reported in the media that the Rajni block buster of yester years "Billa" is going to be made again with Ajith in the lead role.
In the same vein, the upcoming Vijay’s Azhagiya Tamil magan is alleged to be a remake of Rajni starrer Murattu Kalai which had Rathi and Sumalatha as the leading ladies. Only time will say if these rumors going around in the industry are true.

Sangeetha Vijay's accolades to her mother-in-law
Dec 04, 2006
No one could cast a doubt about Shobha Chandrasekhar' s singing talent. For the trained carnatic singer she is, she has rendered her sugary voice to numerous hit songs – particularly for her son Vijay's movies. Few hits in the recent past and to be precise, the recent hit from Sivakasi `Kodambakkam Area' substantiate her singing prowess. To top that, she has even released `Anaimughanum Arumughanum' – a devotional album.
In line with the same, she has recently sung for Nenjirukkum Varai, which is directed by S.A. Chandrasekhar. The song, which she has sung for the movie, is catching up among the public and most importantly has grabbed the attention of Sangeetha, Shobha's daughter-in- law.
Sangeetha has reportedly heard the song numerous times and seems could not get the song out of her head. She went on to shower praises for the song and her mother-in-law' s voice which was the highlight. Well is there any award more coveted than the ones that come from within the family? We assume no.

Stalin's son to produce Vijay's film!
Cinesouth.com
- 05.12.2006
The DMK always had a soft corner for Vijay. Interview with Vijay, stamp of Vijay released by Dayanidhi Maran are some proof of this.
Stalin's son Udayanidhi wants to make use of Vijay's mass appeal and has decided to produce his next film! There have been talks for nearly a year about this film, but nothing materialized.
Moreover, Vijay had his other film commitments and the last one includes Appachan's 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan.'
So, Udayanidhi's film could well be Vijay's next project. The director could be Dharani, who gave Vijay a turning point in his career with 'Gilli.'
After 'Bangaram' flopped, Dharani has been creating a script with meticulous precision and guarding it closely. This could be the script for Vijay's film to be produced by Udayanidhi!

`Vasantha Mullai' song recreated for Pokkiri
Dec 04, 2006
The trend of remixing old hit songs – apart from cribbing the plot from old movies – is catching up in Kollywood. Manmadan's `ennasai maidiliye' set an example in this genre and many movies followed suit. In line with the trend, Vijay starrer Pokkiri, which is being directed by Prabhu Deva will have the classic oldie song `Vasantha Mullai' from the movie Sarangadara – seasoned to suit the present generation.
Pokkiri will have the first stanza of Vasantha Mullai blended into another song. However, Vijay stated that the song has not been remixed and would appear as it was in the movie – but limited to two lines. The shoots of the song have been carried out recently in Chennai in areas such as film city and racecourse.
Though Prabhu Deva is renowned for his dancing talents, seems like he will not render choreography for Pokkiri. He will limit himself to direction and the task of choreography has been distributed among various dance masters. Vijay, Asin, and Sriman were seen dancing to the steps of Dinesh for the Vasantha Mullai song. Mani Sharma scores music for Pokkiri.

Finally Namitha's dream is coming true.
Till now, she has been asked why she is constantly acting only with older heroes. Now, finally, she is going to star with Vijay in 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' that is to be directed by Bharathan.
'Pokkiri' being directed by Prabhu Deva is more or less complete. It is to be released for Pongal. After this film, Vijay will act in 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' produced by Appachan.
Actually Shriya is Vijay's leading lady and Namitha is the other leading lady. Namitha had always wanted to act with young leading heroes like Ajith, Vijay or Surya and now her dream has finally come true with this film opposite Vijay.
This has not come very easy. Usually Namitha charges about 15 lakhs for a film. For this film, she is taking only 7 lakhs.
Well, everything has a price in cinema!

How Sneha lost to Shreya in Vijay movie?
Namitha and Shreya are the two glamour dolls who would be seen flanking Vijay in the upcoming Azhagiya Thirumagan. This news is relatively old. But the story behind Shreya’s inclusion in the film is very interesting.
Initially Sneha was considered for the role of Shreya. But Sivaji heroine proved lucky by grabbing this offer. The reasons attributed are many.
These days there is no separate department for glamour and the heroine takes charge of oomph element also in a film. In this context Sneha would be a novice as far as Kollywood is concerned. Secondly, the producer wanted somebody younger and sensuous for Vijay. Since Shreya fits the bill perfectly, she was roped in.
Besides that, from a novelty point of view, Sneha cannot be considered as she has already featured as Vijay’s heroine in Vaseegara. Vijay- Shreya combination is a new one and fans of Vijay seemed to approve that too.
But in a recent filmi function, without knowing that Shreya has replaced her, Sneha was found chatting with her for a very long time.
