Nervous Idiot..

Ileana is gung ho about Nanban with Vijay, directed by Shankar. She bubbles over with enthusiasm while discussing the project.

Apparently 'Nanban' is not a scene - by - scene lift from the original Three Idiots but a remake that takes Tamil sensibilities into account .

Ileana's character has also been tweaked a little and she credits her director Shankar for developing the character as well as her look in the film.

About working with Vijay she says "I was a little nervous but everyone made me feel comfortable and helped me out with the language barrier. Vijay is a very composed person and is very friendly. He shares a great rapport with Jiiva, and Srikanth and the three enliven the sets considerably. As for me, I am the fourth idiot on the set", she adds with a laugh.

Dhanush and G V Prakash Again ..

The Tamil film industry thrives on winning combinations. Silambarasan-Yuvan, Gautham Vasudev Menon-Harris Jayaraj and the like. Lately the hottest combo seems to be Dhanush and GV Prakash as the duo's Aadukalam and Polladhavan resulted in some great music which became quite the rage among Tamil audiences.

They are all set to recreate the magic for Selvaraghavan's Irandam Ulagam. GV Praksh has worked with Selva in Aayirathil Oruvan and the music was a hit. So it is expected that the trio's chemistry will work once again in Irandam Ulagam too. Let's wait and hear!

Excited !

Handsome actor Srikanth despite his good looks and talent has failed to make it big in the Tamil film industry. But the actor is now being directed by hit-maker Shankar in the film Nanban which also stars Vijay, Jiiva, Ileana and Satyaraj. The actor has signed his next film and it has been titled Ethiri En.3.

Srikanth is excited about this movie and says that the script is very novel and that he is happy to have signed the dotted line. Ethiri En.3 is scripted and is to be directed by debutant Ram Kumar and is produced by Sixth sense production house. The film is touted to be a crime thriller and will start rolling from the 11th of May. We hope this movie gives Srikanth the much deserved break!

Suriya's Nemesis in 7am Arivu

Vietnamese star, Johnny T Nguyen, will play the villain in AR Murugadoss’s film 7aam Arivu, which has Suriya in the lead. The actor has made his mark in American films and television shows and is also a martial artist par excellence, proficient in Lien Feng Kwon, Vovinam, Wushu, Taekwondo, and Tai Chi.

The director is delighted with his find doing a magnificent job. As an action star, Johnny is a dream come true. The stunt sequences in this movie are crucial and have turned out something special as the makers have spent a lot to make them authentic. Fight scenes between Suriya and Johnny are going to be a treat to watch.

Copy Cat

The name 'Harris Jeyaraj' has now become a euphimism for Music Director in Kollywood!

As on date he is the busiest music director in Kollywood. He has never done any remix songs or have done rework with another muscician's product.

He is the music director for the movie Nanban. Commenting about his work he said "I don't want to be labelled as a copy cat. Even though the movie Nanban is a remake, as a music director, I am not copying anything from its original 3 Idiots. "

Jeyaraj continued "Let it be a big or small budget movie. Let the movie be a replica of a super hit version in another language. By principle, I never copy others work and hence I never repeat a music from another movie. I never get influenced of the so called original version."

Double Ayan

The much-awaited film from KV Anand starring Jiiva, Ajmal and Piaa Bajpai has yesteryear leading actress Radha's daughter Karthika playing the leading lady. The director who is very happy about his third film says “KO is Double Ayan”! referring the Surya starrer that propelled KV Anand and Ko to be twice as good!

With Harris Jayaraj’s music topping the charts, it is hoped, to repeat the success of Ayan which had some timeless numbers. Producer, RB Chowdhary of Super Good films will be releasing this movie simultaneously in Telugu as Rangam. This is a first for the production house and reflects the confidence the makers have in their film. Lets see what awaits this coming new year.
