Wow!!! Shankar Finally Reveals The Title Logo Of 2.0?

Shankar has just now tweeted this photo with a hash tag #2Point0FirstLook. Though we believe there will be a special first look poster that will be released on the 20th of November, this photo that Shankar has tweeted looks very intriguing nevertheless.

DID YOU KNOW AYM WAS BASED ON THIS REAL LIFE STORY? GVM REVEALS IT!

Did You Know Aym Was Based On This Real Life Story? Gvm Reveals It!

During a recent press meet held in Hyderabad, Gautham Menon revealed some exciting undisclosed information about AYM.
 

Speaking at the event, GVM said, “I am glad about the response that the film has been receiving in spite of demonetization issues. Both the versions of the film looks to have clicked well among the youngsters.
 

The story of the film was inspired from a real life incident. A doctor (MBBS), I think he has done his house surgency and was practising in a small village in Tamil Nadu. There were some antisocial elements who were trying to destroy his hospital and take over his land. For about one year, the doctor was fighting there. Then quietly he went, wrote his UPSC exam, became a police officer and came back to the same village and arrested those who troubled him. That was the inspiration for this film.
 

The first title I had in mind for this story was ‘What’s your name’ since I thought it’s a film about this girl who comes and stays in his house but doesn’t hear his name being called out.”

Exciting: Selvaraghavan Opens Up About Kaan, Pudhupettai 2 And Santhanam's Film!

Selvaraghavan and Yuvan Shankar Raja are live on Twitter now for a Q&A interaction with fans. There have been quite a lot of interesting questions for which the duo has been answering. Here is a glimpse of it.


1. What happened to Kaan? Will it happen?
Selva: I think it is time to put a full stop. Simbu is a very good close friend of mine and Yuvan. We hope the film will revive sometime later. When it does, the film will be in a totally different dimension.
 

2. Your next film with Santhanam. I know you wouldn't restrict yourself to a particular genre, but people won't expect a comedy film from you, right?
Selva: You got it right. This will not be a complete comedy film. Myself and Yuvan are very much excited about it. If you ask why, both of us are getting back together after eight years for a romantic film on the lines of 7G Rainbow Colony suiting today's trend.
 

3. Is there any chance of Pudhupettai 2?
Selva: Many of you guys have been asking about Pudhupettai 2. I seriously need Yuvan for that film. So if he gives his callsheet, we will surely do Pudhupettai 2 (laughs along with Yuvan). See, it will happen. It will happen as soon as possible. We will try.
 

4. What can we expect from Nenjam Marappathillai?
Selva: I kindly request you not to expect anything from the film. Come with an open mind and enjoy the movie. I hope it'll satisfy you then.
 

While asking about Selvaraghavan's favourite song of Yuvan, he opened up saying 'Idhu Varai' from Goa is his favourite number.
 

Yuvan Shankar Raja also updated that plans are going on, for releasing a single from Simbu's AAA. Exciting isn't it?

VISHAL'S STRONG RESPONSE AGAINST HIS EXPULSION

Vishal's Strong Response Against His Expulsion

The latest hot news is Vishal has been suspended from the Producer’s Council temporarily. To clear the air, he called for an urgent press meet and we produce below the crux of his interaction with the media.
 

“I am yet to receive the dismissal letter and I happen to see only from my press friends. I also realized that it just has the seal and no signature. I am surprised that a casual statement of mine, mentioning bonda bajji has been so seriously taken which has apparently led the council to this decision.
 

I have no personal grouse against any office bearer of the Producer Council. I am a little peeved that there was no discussion with me on this before sending out this letter. 
 

I am not going to file any defamation case. Whatever it is, I will take the legal guidance and take this matter forward. What Sivakarthikeyan faced recently, I have also faced and if I had raised my voice then, perhaps the situation would have been different now.
 

My only concern and question is when piracy is so rampant, what are the measures taken to curb it? Whenever anybody comes across any piracy related issue, they tag or inform me only. This is an issue that an entire industry should come together and fight.
 

I am awaiting the announcement of Producer Council election in January and I can guarantee that there definitely would be an opposition team to fight the election. My suspension is not an issue here".
