Hema Rukmani of Sri Thenandal Films has officially confirmed that they will be producing Vijay’s upcoming film with Atlee. Though it was very certain that Vijay would be teaming up with Atlee for a commercial pot-boiler, no official statement has been made thus far.
 

Finally, Ms. Hema Rukmani during her recent interaction to the media confirmed that they will be producing Vijay’s film. “This is the first time we are producing a film with a big hero like Vijay. We are very proud about it. Atlee and Vijay combination have worked well till now and we hope to recreate the Theri magic again”

We had reported long back that Bairavaa team is planning to unveil a surprise treat for Vijay's fans on Diwali day (29th October). The team has been very silent about it till date and no official confirmation has been made about it till date.
 

In order to get things clarified, Behindwoods spoke to the director of Bairavaa, Bharathan and this is what he had to say. “For sure there will be a treat for Vijay sir's fans on Diwali day but we have not decided on what it would be yet. I am currently busy with the dubbing work of Bairavaa.”

Apparently, Bollywood hotshot Vivek Oberoi has been roped in to play the antagonist in Ajith’s upcoming film directed by Siruthai Siva. According to our source, Vivek Oberoi has been approached and he might have said yes to play Ajith’s baddie in the film. Official confirmation from the team is expected in another 2 days.

This would be Vivek Oberoi’s first film if it happens. It must be noted that Vivek Oberoi has previously played a negative role Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 3.

Vivek Oberoi was Venkat Prabhu's initial choice to act in Mankatha but since that did not materialise, Ajith came on board for the film.

2/3rd of Enthiran 2 (2.0) shooting is done as reported by Shankar recently and the team is apparently on a small break now.

When a project has Vijay’s name, everything about it gets all the attention. Likewise, Vijay’s 61st venture is the talk of the town. Earlier in the day, we had reported about Sri Thenandal’s involvement in the film. Now we have one more update.

Reliable sources reveal that GV Prakash is the chosen music composer for Vijay 61. It has to be recalled that the combo of Vijay-GV-Atlee tasted huge success with their earlier outing Theri. Official confirmations on this project are expected to be coming in one by one. Stay tuned

Earlier in the day we had reported that Superstar Rajinikanth had called and appreciated Sivakarthikeyan and RD Raja for their respective efforts in Remo. Now Sivakarthikeyan has used his Twitter handle to reveal what Rajinikanth exactly told him after watching Remo.
 

“"A great star is born!Congratulations Sivakarthikeyan"-appreciation from Thalaivar @superstarrajini sir after watching #Remo. Humbled&happy”.

A great star is born, we have heard many people say it before, but when it comes from the Superstar it sounds extremely special.

Bogan directed by Lakshman and produced by Prabhu Deva is all gearing up for a 23rd December release.

Apparently, there is a claim by a cameraman Anthony Thomas, who is a member of the Southern Indian Cinematographers association, that the story of Bogan is his. He has been complaining against the director and producer in police stations and in social media.

Responding to this, director Lakshman had lodged a complaint with Chennai Police Commissioner in which he states that the said Anthony Thomas has been lodging false cases against him and also the producer in various police stations in Chennai which has caused a lot of mental agony for the duo and the team. Lakshman also states that Thomas is doing these things to defame and to extort money from them. He has requested the police to take appropriate action against Anthony Thomas
