Jeeva Sankar is known for his strong writing through his films Naan, Amara Kaaviyam and Yaman.

Now sources close to us reveal that this promising director might most likely do a multi starrer as his next. This multistarrer is said to have Arya and Jiiva in lead roles, and if the sources are to be believed, Lyca Productions might fund this venture. It is also added that Ghibran and Sathish Suriya might take care of music and editing departments respectively.

Let us wait for an official announcement from the team regarding this.

Selvaraghavan is one of the most critically acclaimed filmmakers, whose films are always noticed for its bold and strong content.

Behindwoods recently caught up with the director for a detailed interview to discuss his Nenjam Marappathillai, Mannavan Vanthanadi, and his previous ventures like Pudhupettai and so on. When we asked him about his three most favourite films in his life, he said, "Three films that are so close to my heart and my favourite would be Godfather, and Mani sir's Nayagan and Agni Natchathiram."

He revealed that these three films had inspired him to a larger extent. Stay tuned to this space to catch the full video interview very soon.

The special 2.0 air balloon promotional campaign which began yesterday in Hollywood, Los Angeles will next head to New Jersey. What is even more special is that it will be part of the prestigious Quick Chek Festival Of Ballooning which attracts close to 2 lakh people.

That could give a good promotional push for 2.0 in the USA. The video and the photos from the balloon launch event have gone viral as expected.

Rajinikanth was in Mumbai all the while busy shooting for Pa.Ranjith's directorial Kaala, which is produced by Dhanush.

The latest information we have from our close sources is that the Mumbai schedule has apparently been wrapped up yesterday (27th June), and the team will reach back to Chennai soon. Though the dates have not been finalised for the next schedule, it is reported that it will happen at Chennai, where a slum set of Dharavi is expected to be erected.

The film also stars Huma Qureshi, Eshwari Rao, Samuthirakani, Nana Patekar, and others in pivotal roles.

Vikram and Gautham Menon’s Dhruva Natchathiram is getting ready at a steady pace, with shoot planned in 4 different countries namely Bulgaria, Slovenia, Abu Dhabi and Turkey within a 22 day schedule.The shoot is said to involve 12 important actors and there are also international stunt coordinators.

The latest surprise news we hear from our close sources is about the star cast of Dhruva Natchathiram. Apart from Vikram and Parthiban, it is said that veteran actress Raadhika, Simran are a part of the casting. Besides Raadhika and Simran, other actors like Sathish, Vamsi, DD and Maya are also touted to be a part of this 12 member cast who will be shooting in this schedule.

This bombastic casting seems super interesting and with Vikram’s suave look and characterization, Dhruva Natchathiram seems to have an enhanced international flavour. When it’s a Gautham Menon film, we can expect some really exotic locations as well. Sources add that, some of the locations that Gautham has handpicked for Chiyaan Vikram and the team will be seen for the first time in South Indian films.

Dhanush, who was present at his VIP 2’s grand audio launch this evening has spilt some beans on the possibilities of a sequel to his directorial venture Pa Paandi, which was well received by the audiences.

The actor who directed the feel good entertainer Pa Paandi, says that he will definitely do Pa Paandi 2. He has apparently written the script and has spoken to actor Rajkiran about it. However, he has also stated that he is in a dilemma whether to do Pa Paandi 2 as his next film or after doing a fresh film.

Dhanush says that, he doesn’t want to do back to back films of the same theme and genre but will definitely do Pa Paandi 2 soon.

There has been a wide speculation that Dhanush will be playing an extended cameo in Rajinikanth's Kaala, directed by Pa. Ranjith.

The talented actor responded to this question and cleared the air, during the media interaction at VIP 2 audio launch yesterday in Mumbai. He told, "I would love to act, but I seriously do not know anything about it. Yes agreed that I am the producer of the film, but I haven't asked Ranjith.

If it happens, I will be more than happy, as it is a privilege and an honour to act in Superstar's movie. I also know to imitate him slightly, so it would be great, but let's see."
