The most awaited update of the day is here, Suriya’s S3 directed by Hari officially gets a release date now. The 3rd edition of Singam franchise will hit the screens on December 16th 2016.

Commercial specialist Hari is teaming up with Suriya for the 5th time and they are likely to keep their successful winning streak intact with S3.

Harris Jayaraj has joined hands with Hari after a gap of 12 years. The audio and trailer release dates of S3 are expected to be announced soon

Vijay’s ongoing rural mass action flick Bairavaa directed by Bharathan is said to be shaping up pretty well and it is gunning up for Pongal 2017 release. Even with Bairavaa's release 4 months away, the expectations for his 61st project is already on the rise.Though we have not got an official confirmation from the team yet, director Atlee is said to be the preferred choice for this venture.

Now we have an exciting news for all Vijay fans who are eager to know more about Vijay 61. Veteran screenwriter and SS Rajamouli’s father,  KV Vijayendra Prasad is expected to join hands with Vijay to work on the script work for Thalapathy 61. It must be noted that Vijayendra Prasad is the screenwriter for many epic films like Baahubali, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Naan E, Magadheera and Baahubali: The Conclusion.

When we checked about this with our sources close to Vijayendra Prasad, they told us that nothing has been finalized yet and it could go either way. But looks like the initial talks have happened and we will have to wait and see how it goes.

We have a happy news for all Visaaranai fans. Yes, the critically acclaimed Vetri Maaran film has been picked as India’s official entry to the most prestigious film awards, the OSCARS.

Visaaranai will be the 9th Tamil film to enter the Oscars with Hey Ram being the last entry from Tamil cinema. It is a proud moment to have a Tamil film representing the nation to the Oscars after 16 years. It must be noted that 7 Kamal Haasan films have been submitted to the Oscars till date out of which two are other language films.

Though 8 Tamil films have been submitted to the Oscars, none of them have been nominated by the Oscar board till date. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope Visaaranai becomes India’s first Academy Award winning film for Best Foreign Language Film.

We are glad to register that we have congratulated director Vetri Maaran for this recognition. Our sincere compliments to Dhanush, Samuthirakani, Dinesh and the rest of the cast and crew on this occasion.

Thithi, Neerja, Nil Battey Sannata, Udta Punjab and Sairat are the other shortlisted Indian films.

Suriya who is on the verge of completing S3, will be teaming up with Vignesh Shivn for his 35th film, Thaanaa Serndha Koottam. Last week Dream Warrior Pictures had made an exciting announcement that they will be producing Suriya’s 36th film.

No other details have been disclosed about this project. Dream Warrior Pictures is known for making progressive films like Joker, Aruvi and Kashmora. When we tried to enquire on who will direct this film, we came to know that Joker director Raju Murugan apparently has a script for Suriya and there is a strong possibility of him directing Suriya 36.

Other names like Komban Muthiah are also doing the rounds. Muthiah had reportedly narrated a rural sentimental action story to Suriya recently. So there is a chance that Muthiah could be the selected one too.

We will have to wait and see if one of these two filmmakers direct Suriya 36 or will they decide to go with some other director?

After the huge success of Theri, Vijay’s next is very keenly awaited. Sri Green production has apparently acquired the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights of  Bairavaa for a whopping price from Vijaya Productions.

It is said that Sri Green productions recently signed the agreement and the photos of them meeting Vijaya Production are being shared in online forums. It looks like a great buy. Let’s wish them all the very best for the film’s success.

Director Priyadarshan and the team behind his Tamil film Sila Samayngalil has a lot to celebrate. The film starring Prakash Raj, Ashok Selvan and Shriya Reddy in the lead roles has been selected for the final round of the 74th Annual Golden Globes awards. The news was confirmed through a tweet by Ashok Selvan.

The film based on AIDS is among 10 films that will be screened for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, out of which 5 films will proceed further. It is produced by Ganesh and Vijay with music scored by the maestro Ilayaraja.

Film producers are preferring to use the best of the internet to connect with the audience these days. Almost all breaking updates are made through Twitter and Facebook. Likewise Studio Green production banner has made a breaking announcement today (21st September) through their Twitter handle.

This Suriya-Vignesh Shivn project will no longer be called as Suriya 35. The film has been titled as Thaanaa Serndha Koottam.

The female lead for this project has not been announced yet.  But names like Keerthy Suresh and Nayanthara are speculated to be considered for this role. It is official that Anirudh has been roped in to compose the songs.

The D-day has come for Studio Green to announce their ambitious project. Yes, their twelfth production will have Telugu Superstar Allu Arjun playing the lead under Lingusamy's direction. This film will also mark the Tamil debut of Allu Arjun.
 

Talking about this project, K.E.Gnanavel Raja said, "This film will be on the lines of Karthi's Paruthiveeran and we are planning to start rolling from February 2017." Captain of the ship, Lingusamy told that this project will start only after he finishes Sandakozhi 2.

Allu Arjun, who will be doing his first Tamil film, said, "I was born and brought up in Chennai and was living here for almost 20 years. I had always wanted to prove myself to this part of the world and I hope this project will fulfill that wish. Paruthiveeran is a classic and I can't repeat that magic, but, for sure, I will give my best for this movie".
 

Cast and crew details are yet to be announced for this action drama.

‘Makkal Selvan’ Vijay Sethupathi has had a wonderful 2016 so far. 3 out of his 4 releases have turned out to be successful. His choice of scripts has been very good and more importantly they don’t resort to a particular genre.

His upcoming film Aandavan Kattalai will hit the screens coming Friday (23rd September) while Rekka will release on the 7th of October. He is currently busy with the shooting of KV Anand’s untitled project.

Now the latest we hear is that Vijay Sethupathi is likely to team up with director Panneerselvam, who is known for the new-age gangster action flick Renigunta. An official announcement regarding this flick is expected to be announced soon.

It has been two weeks since Vikram’s Iru Mugan stormed the box office. The film released all over India on September 8th, 2016 and proved to be a powerful entertainer. So, just how much did the Anand Shankar directorial collect in Chennai box office? Producer, Shibu Thameens gave us an exclusive input regarding this:

“It is still ‘full-house’ in most of the places, even during this weekend. The film has collected a whopping 6cr+ so far and still counting within the Chennai city and the collection in Kerala is around 8cr. Iru Mugan was able to amass such a figure in spite of lesser screens, especially during Onam as films like Oppam, Oozham, and two other strong Malayalam films releasing alongside goes on to speak of the film’s success.

Iru Mugan has marched strongly past the magical 100 crore feat. The whole cast and crew is very excited about this"
