Raju Sundaram, the acclaimed choreographer and Prabhu Deva’s brother who directed Ajith Kumar in Aegan is all set to make his directorial debut in Telugu.

Megastar Chiranjeevi's younger brother Power Star Pawan Kalyan has asked him to direct his next film which has been scripted by S J Suryah.

Of course, Raju Sundaram was only happy to accept this offer and will be making preparations for the film and searching for a suitable heroine as the film might be a bilingual.

The project will hit the floors very soon once Pawan completes 'Gabbar Singh' and another film with Vishnuvardhan.

Baptism for Prabhu Deva? Why?

No sooner had the affair between Prabhu Deva and Nayanthara blossomed, than it became the focus of public attention. Even the minutest details of their problems were relentlessly published in many newspapers.

Naturally it turned out to be the hottest topic of Kodambakkam. First it was the problem caused by Prabhu Deva’s wife Ramlath and then their divorce. Later it was revealed by some of the closer sources that Prabhu Deva and Nayanthara will be entering wedlock by August.

The latest news is that the parents of Nayanthara have insisted that Prabhu Deva get baptized and convert to Christianity.

It is worth mentioning that Nayanthara born as Diana Marian Kurien belongs to a staunch Roman Catholic family. However Nayan is advocating for her fiancé and wants to settle the issue in a favorable way.

Latest Sensation ..

Even before her Engeyum Kadhal released, Hansika Motwani was signed up for Mapillai opposite Dhanush directed by Suraj. Mapillai produced by Sun Pictures was the remake of Superstar Rajinikanth's yesteryear film of the same name.

Though Hansika has done a few movies in Telugu as the lead, she became more famous and managed to steal the hearts of Tamil youngsters as well after the photos from Engeyum Kadhal were officially released by AGS and Prabhu Deva.

Along with Tapasee, who also paired with Dhanush in Aadukalam, Hansika became one of the most preferred actresses for Tamil movie producers.

Actor Jayam Ravi, in a recent interview, mentioned how much fun it was to work with her during the shooting of Engeyum Kadhal.

Her career is confirmed for success after she was signed opposite Udhayanidhi Stalin in Red Giant Movies' Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (OKOK) directed by Rajesh (of Siva Manasula Sakthi and Boss Engira Baskaran fame). It is heard that other actresses such as Trisha and Tamannaah who were in the race for the role in OKOK are quite jealous of Hansika!

Hansika’s performance in Engeyum Kadhal has been loved by many, so we should see more of her in Kollywood in the days to come.

Engeyum Chaos ..

Jeyam Ravi's Engeyum Kadhal hit the screens today and he was spotted at Udhayam Theater near Ashok Pillar, Chennai to watch the movie and gauge his fans' reactions. But as soon as he entered the theater premises all hell broke loose as his fans rushed inside to get a glimpse and interact with their favourite star. When the security closed the doors to stop them from barging in, some of them broke the glass doors and entered.

Unable to control the situation they called for the police who immediately restored peace around the place. After all the chaos the star watched the movie along with his fans. Engeyum Kadhal stars Hansika Motwani opposite Jeyam Ravi and is directed by Prabhudeva. The songs are already chart busters and we hope the audience likes the movie too!

Nayantara and Salman ?

Salman Khan may next concentrate in the sequel to Wanted, the remake of the Tamil film Pokkiri that went on to become a big blockbuster.

Following its success, Salman requested Wanted’s director Prabhu Deva to consider recreating the magic with its sequel with new elements to meet the expectations.

Despite being busy in Kollywood, Prabhu had worked on the sequel of Wanted on Salman's request and it is expected to go on floors by end of this year.

It is rumored that Prabhu Deva’s sweet heart Nayantara will be paired up with Salman in the sequel. There is also speculation in Kollywood that Nayan may quit filmdom and settle for marital bliss after Prabhu obtains his divorce in June.

Speedy Gonzales

Producers are always delighted when directors finish their projects quickly and that is exactly what the producers of Vishal and Sameera Reddy’s untitled film are happy about.

Director Prabhudeva seems to be quick as a wink in finishing the project. Recently, he wanted to shoot an item song with Sophie Choudary and Vishal in Europe but he was denied visa. Not wanting to waste time, he came up with an idea of making a brilliant setting in Binny mills and completed that shoot.

It is said that he has shot almost 90% of the movie already in areas near Hyderabad.

The director wants to get over with his commitments by June so that he can marry Nayanthara in July without having to bother about other commitments.

We sincerely hope all this hurry doesn’t affect the quality of the movie.

Hansika Everywhere . .

Hansika Motwani was recently spotted at Tirupati on her temple visit to worship Lord Balaji. The actress, along with her parents had their Tirupati darshan late in the evening.

Before leaving Tirupati, Hansika met the media persons and answered their queries about her future projects and the reason for her visit to Tirupati.

"I am happy that my first film in Tamil 'Mappilai' has been well received by the audience and is already cheered up awaiting her next release 'Engeyum Kadhal' in the pipeline.

Engeyum Kadhal is directed by Prabhu Deva with Actor Jayam Ravi as her lead pair. The film would soon be released by Sun Pictures with the movie promos frequently aired across the globe. It cannot be denied that Sun picture not just helps love to reach everywhere but also Hansika, the gorgeous lass with Engeyum Kadhal that literally means Love Everywhere.

If you're an ardent fan of Hansika, she also revealed that she has four more Tamil films to please the Tamil audience and two in Telugu in her little Kitty which is to be burst up with offers soon.

Prabhu Deva & Nayan's wedding

Prabhu Deva is working on transferring some of his properties to his wife Ramlath and sons. The property transfers should happen before June and he should submit the documents at the court before divorce. Based on these property transfers, he would be awarded the divorce.

Sources say that as soon as these property transfers are done, Prabhu Deva and Nayantara will begin the groundwork for their wedding. It is expected that the divorce case will come to an end in June and Prabhu and Nayan’s wedding will take place in July.

It is reported that the wedding will take place in Mumbai and the couple are planning to invite close family and friends.

Nayanthara to quit acting

In a recent interview in Hyderabad, south Indian actress Nayanthara has revealed that she is quitting movies after her ongoing Telugu film Sri Ramarajyam in which she plays the role of Sita.

“Sri Ramarajyam will be my last movie and based on Prabhu’s advice I am quitting movies,” Nayan was quoted as saying to Telugu media. Nayan is cast alongside legendary actors Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Balaiah in the movie.

Nayanthara further laughed off rumors that her relationship with beau Prabhu Deva is on the rocks. “These are just rumors. We are still together and we will announce our wedding soon,” she added. Prabhu’s divorce is likely to be through in the coming days and the couple has decided to announce their wedding after that.
