To know about what happened in Kollywood over the past 7 days, here we present you the Top 10 news of the week.
We were the first to inform you some time ago that Ilayathalapathy Vijay had met Superstar Rajinikanth today (29th November) after the Bairavaa wrap-up event. The duo had a brief discussion.
When two high profile celebrities meet, it is a usual practice to click a photo. But it looks like no photos were apparently taken and some say it was because Superstar Rajinikanth was in a special unseen get up for 2point0 which they did not want to reveal
Earlier in the day, we had reported that Vijay had attended the ‘pusanika’ ceremony (wrapping up) of Bairavaa.
Now we have an interesting update for you about Vijay. Yes, the ‘Ghilli’ actor apparently met Superstar Rajinikanth at MGR Film City, Chennai, today (29th Nov) after the ‘Pusanika’ ceremony of Bairavaa.
Superstar was shooting for 2.0 at MGR Film City and Vijay had a casual chat with Rajinikanth which went on for over 5 minutes. Details regarding their meet have not been disclosed yet.
As reported earlier, Ilayathalapathy Vijay will be taking a small break from acting before starting Thalapathy 61. The script of this film to be directed by Atlee was locked recently while the technical team details are still awaited.
We are now told that the film is likely to go on floors in the month of February 2017. There are a few speculations since this morning which says that Thalapathy 61 will be shot at Warner Bros Studios, USA. When we checked about this with our sources close to the team, they said there are talks but nothing has been finalized yet. So there is a huge chance that Thalapathy 61’s shooting might take place in the USA.
There are speculations saying that Superstar Rajinikanth has been hospitalised after having injured his leg while shooting for 2 Point 0.
When we inquired about his status from our sources close to the team, they said that it was a small accident. Rajinikanth supposedly slipped while walking down the stairs due to the rain and got hit in his knee. Apparently, it was just a small hit and he is completely fine.
The incident happened while Superstar was shooting for 2 Point 0 at an IT company near Kelambakkam, Chennai. He is expected resume shoot very soon.
It is a known fact that Superstar Rajinikanth will be teaming up with Pa Ranjith again after Kabali. Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films will be producing it and the cast and crew details are still awaited. The team has revealed that this film will not be a sequel to Kabali and will be a fresh script.
Apparently, this untitled film will go on floors in the month of February 2017 and the team is planning for December 12th release for Superstar’s birthday in 2017. Supposedly, this the plan that the team has on mind right now and could be changed based on the film’s progress.
Rajini who is busy with 2 Point 0’s shoot right now is expected to join Pa Ranjith’s film after January. If Pa Ranjith's film releases as planned, Rajinikanth might well have 2 releases in the same year.
Earlier in the day, we had reported that Suriya’s S3 will be postponed a little further. Now the team has officially announced that the film will be pushed by a week.
The new release date is December 23rd a Christmas treat to all Suriya fans. It must be noted that Suriya had a Christmas release last year too in the form of Pasanga 2.
We are not sure about the other Christmas releases Bogan and Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga. Whether there will be a change in plan for these films or not is something we will have to wait and see.
According to the latest Supreme Court order, the national anthem should be played in theatres before all movie screenings mandatorily. Everyone should stand when the anthem is played and Indian national flag should also be shown on screen. When the national anthem is played it is imperative for everyone to show honour and respect to it, says the court.
It was a mandatory practice for cinema halls to play the national anthem after every movie during the 1960s but the practice slowly faded away by the 1990s.
We have a breaking news for you all. Yes, the ravishing Bollywood beauty Kajol Devgan will apparently be making a comeback to Tamil films after a hiatus 19 long years. Her last Tamil movie happens to be Minsara Kanavu which released in 1997.
We are told that Kajol has been approached to play a pivotal role in Dhanush’s upcoming film VIP 2 directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth. The ‘strawberry kanney’ actress apparently liked the role that was offered to her and has allegedly given a green signal to star in the film.
Reportedly, she has been offered a whopping sum of more than 4 crore to feature in the film. An official confirmation regarding this is still awaited!
Cho Ramaswamy, veteran actor and journalist, who has not been keeping good health for some time, is again admitted in Apollo Hospitals, Chennai.
It can be recalled that a few months ago when he was indisposed, Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa visited him at the hospital and enquired about his welfare. Later he was declared fit to go home, but the seasoned journalist and actor has been having bouts of age-related ailments and is now admitted in the hospital again for breathing issues.
Behindwoods wishes Cho a speedy recovery!
The Bairavaa team just wrapped up its final schedule of shooting and head into the post-production work. The film is scheduled for a Pongal release and the director is currently busy with the editing work which is led by Praveen KL.
