Director Shankar & Dhanush project

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 10:58 AM PDT

Early in 2011 there was a buzz created around the possible teaming up of Shankar and Dhanush. It was before Nanban had commenced that stories of Dhanush being part of that project started doing the rounds. Even though that didn't materialize the buzz over Dhanush being part of Shankar's next has surfaced yet again.

Sources say that AGS cinemas are in possession of Dhanush's call sheet and are keen to share it with Director Shankar. While the combination would have the Tamil audience licking their lips in anticipation, the CEO of AGS cinemas, Archana Kalpathi, has played down the reports as being just mere rumors.

But in all likeliness, Dhanush and Shankar could literally be sharing the same stage very soon as both of them have been invited by Aascar Ravichandran to grace the occasion of 555's audio launch which is scheduled to take place in a couple of days.

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 10:51 AM PDT


As always the case Shankar has been closely guarding the details of his under production film, 'I', that stars Vikram and Amy Jackson in the lead. There have been several reports that have emerged regarding Vikram's various looks in the film. It has been reported that Vikram's character will be seen completely beefed up in one portion of the movie, while another half of the movie will shown him with a leaner physique, warranting a rapid loss in weight from the actor.

Now it has been brought to Behindwoods's attention that Vikram was recently spotted in the city with a completely shaved head, leading us to believe that the tonsured look too is going to be part of Shankar's 'I'. While the story of the film is anybodys guess, the various getups of Vikram alone are proof that 'I' is going to be yet another ambitious project from Shankar.

Kollywood misses year’s biggest date!

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 04:32 AM PDT

This year there will be no big or medium Tamil release on April 12, the 'Tamil Puthandu- Vishu' weekend. Traditionally, the Tamil Puthandu sees the release of one or two big star films and a few medium budget movies.

2013 Tamil Puthandu weekend starting on Friday April 12, will see only little known releases that nobody has heard of. It is for the first time in history of Tamil cinema the Tamil New Year weekend will not see any new releases.
In the good old days all top heroes used to have a biggie which would be their summer release. Collection wise the Tamil Puthandu weekend is the best among festival release dates.
Remember 2005 Tamil Puthandu weekend saw Rajinikanth's Chandramukhi, Kamal Haasan's Mumbai Express and Vijay's Sachein ? The trade experts believe that films that release during that weekend always makes an extra 5 to 10 % in their total collection due to the holiday season.
Even last year (2012), Udhayanidhi Stalin's debut film Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (OKOK) released during that weekend and the film went on to become a mega hit and the second highest grosser of that year.
Meanwhile there are nearly a dozen films which had earlier planned to release on April 12, but could not make it due to various reasons. They are Biriyani, Kutty Puli, Madha Gaja Raja, Soodhu Kavvum, Udhayam NH 4, Moondru Per Moondru Kadhal, Vallinam, Nagaraja Chozhan MA MLA, Sonna Puriyadhu, Ethir Neechal etc.
