This is the first time Santhosh Narayanan is composing for Vijay and we can be sure that he has something special up his sleeve. We also know that Vijay 60 seems to deal with a rural subject and Santhosh should be seen playing with some rural beats. We have to wait for this 2 ✕ Neruppu Da in Vijay 60.

AMALA PAUL, RAJINI’S NEXT HEROINE?

The announcement about Superstar Rajini’s next film last night (29th August) with director Pa.Ranjith again, under the production of Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films has sent the movie buffs into a tizzy. The open ending of Kabali’s climax had led to the speculation that it could be Kabali 2.
 

But sources tell behindwoods that it is not so and that Ranjith is likely to try a different subject this time. There are also reports that suggest that Rajinikanth had liked Ranjith’s oneliner which had resulted in this combo again.


On the other hand, sources also suggest that Amala Paul may play the lady lead in this flick. Meanwhile, Ranjith’s past three films always had a surprise factor in terms of the heroine. Therefore, would we get to see Amala Paul in this venture too? If yes, what kind of characterization would Ranjith etch for the Deiva Thirumagal girl?
 

Let's wait for official confirmation!

Now the latest we hear is that this project is expected to be about brother-sister sentiment. Our sources say that if it was Thirupaachi for Vijay and Vedalam for Ajith, this would be Suriya’s turn to play the caring and protective brother. Ritika Singh of Irudhi Suttru fame might play Suriya’s sister in the film.

 

We are waiting for an official confirmation from the team!

A LIFETIME ROLE FOR SNEHA IN SIVAKARTHIKEYAN'S NEXT

A LIFETIME ROLE FOR SNEHA IN SIVAKARTHIKEYAN'S NEXT

This appears to be the season of exciting information about new projects featuring popular stars. While the week began with Rajini-Ranjith venture, looks like we will have some more fizz added to our daily dose of Tamil cinema.

 

24 AM production’s next project to be directed by Mohan Raja featuring Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara, Fahadh Faasil will have Sneha on board. Shedding light on this, RD Raja of 24 AM Studios tells behindwoods:
 

“Sneha is essaying an important character in the film. I would like to state that she does not play the role of a sister or anybody’s pair in this. She would be seen throughout the film. It is an extremely good character and would be something like a lifetime role for her.
 

Mohan Raja is very hard working and genuine. He has scripted the story in such a way that all the characters will have equal importance. He will be handling a very crucial social issue, but at the same time, there will be Siva’s humor and other entertaining elements. This film will be an important one in Tamil cinema and will be hugely respected. After the release, respect on Mohan Raja will increase manifold and I am sure he will go to a higher level. For Siva’s career too, this will be a significant one.

 

I want to give quality content that will be liked by the audience as well. Right now pre-production is going on and we will go on floors after we are done with this”.
