Jorian Ponomareff is a popular stunt bike rider. In fact, he is one of the best in the world when it comes to stunt rides. He has apparently been roped in to be Ajith’s body double in Thala 57.
 

Jorian has recently shared a photo of him in Facebook which was captured by Thala Ajith. He has also typed a text in French which reads “#GANGSTER #MOVIE et non ce n'est pas une route ouverte mdr mais le KIFF est le même #safe! J'ai l'honneur de doubler monsieur Ajith Kumar (immense star en Inde) et croyez moi il fais aussi beaucoup d'action avec ma moto ! Un vrai pilote ! Très impressionné par sa simplicité. Je me régal ici putain <3 ! Photo: Ajith Kumar photography. Oui je poste à 3h30 du matin #jeboss mdr”

The broken English translation done using Google translator reads as follows “#Gangster #movie and no it's not a road open lol but the love is the same #safe!

"I have the honour of double Mr Ajith Kumar (HUGE STAR IN INDIA) and believe me, he also does a lot of action with my bike! A true pilot! Very impressed by his simplicity. I treat here <3! Photo: Ajith Kumar Photography. Yes I post at 3 in the morning #jeboss lol”

Looks like Ajith himself will have plenty of bike stunts to do in the film. We wish them a safe shoot.

As reported some time ago, Suriya’s S3 has been postponed to a further undisclosed date. The reason for the postponement is unknown. Now Suriya has officially confirmed the news that the film has been pushed.
 

He took to his microblogger to inform, “Dear all! #S3 stands postponed due to several external factors not under our control!Believe it's for the larger good!Need all your support!”

Dhanush's VIP 2 began with a pooja and Superstar Rajinikanth took to his Twitter handle to wish his daughter’s directorial venture starring Dhanush. His Tweet had, “Wishing #VIP 2 team all the very best ... god bless.” He also began the proceedings for the film operating the clapboard.

Dhanush was all excited and Tweeted back with, “What more can i ask ?? #thanksthalaiva with all your blessings #vip2 kick starts from today. #raghuvaranisback.”

The test shoot of the film commenced today (15th December) and the shoot is expected to start tomorrow. The sequel to the hit film VIP(2014), has music by Sean Roldan and this time the story has been helmed by Dhanush himself.

The project is produced by Thanu for his V Creations.

A.R.Rahman who won twin Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire has a good news. A popular daily has announced the eligible 145 Original Scores for this year, among which Rahman's Pele score also features.
 

Pelé: Birth of a Legend, which was the story about the legendary Brazilian footballer Pele had music by A.R.Rahman and was directed by Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist.

The film was critically acclaimed especially for the background score by A.R.Rahman. Since it has now been announced as eligible for the Oscars, it might as well be A.R.Rahman’s next big award. Will history repeat itself for the legendary musician? We shall have to wait to find out.

The countdown for Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Bairavaa has begun with lot of information coming out about the film as it is nearing its release date for Pongal 2017.
 

Reliable reports are emerging that Lahari music has bought the audio rights of Bairavaa. Santhosh Narayanan has scored music for this Bharathan directorial which has Keerthy Suresh as the heroine.

It is also reported that the team is planning for the audio launch through online platforms and that there may not be any grand function to release the songs. Official information is yet to come. Stay tuned

We have been updating about Imaikkaa Nodigal on a regular interval. This film directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu featuring the likes of Nayanthara, Atharvaa and Anurag Kashyap in the lead roles is said to be shaping up pretty well.

As informed earlier, Nayanthara will not be Atharvaa's pair in the film. He is said to be playing the role of a brother to the Lady Superstar. Then who is Nayanthara’s pair in the film?

Yes, we now have the answer to that. Supposedly, Vijay Sethupathi is said to be the selected one to act as Nayanthara’s pair. And it will be more than a cameo as Vijay Sethupathi would be having enough screentime. Looks like the Naanum Rowdy Dhaan combo is getting back once again. However, an official confirmation regarding this is still awaited.

Nadigayar Thilakam Savitri will always stay in the minds of movie watchers for her performance, beauty, poise and grace. She had appeared in all the four south Indian languages and also in Hindi and had established a name for herself.

Talks about her biopic are going on and certain sections of the media had reported that Samantha has been roped in to play Savitri’s role.

However, when we contacted Samantha’s spokesperson, we were told that although the team had approached the Anjaan heroine once, there was no further progress on this subject.

Stay tuned and we will update you on the developments on this subject!

Vishal’s Kaththi Sandai which was earlier said to release for Pongal 2017 alongside Vijay’s Bairavaa has been advanced to December 23rd now.
 

Suriya’s S3 which was stated to release on the 23rd December has been postponed due to few unknown reasons. S3’s release delay apparently has given enough room for films like Balle Vellaiya Thevaa and Kaththi Sandai to keep the box office bell ringing for this Christmas.

Here is the official release date tweet of Vishal - "#KaththiSandai n #okkadochadu confirmed to release on Dec 23rd worldwide.gb @hiphoptamizha @tamannaahspeaks @CameoFilmsIndia @sooriofficial"
