The ‘super’stitious filmmakers here say they finally cracked the success formula. Make your sequel first and then do the first.

The much-awaited teaser of Ajith starrer ‘Viswasam’ is expected on 27 December, which is a Thursday. Directed by Siva and produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, the movie has music by D Imman.

Vishnuu Vishal knows the knack of choosing his scripts. After a serious outing in ‘Ratsasan’, he is out with a light-hearted fare ‘Silukkuvarpatti Singam’.

Rajinikanth’s ‘Petta’ is all complete and ready for release this January. Meanwhile, sources say that the movie speaks loud against honour killing.

Rahul and Vijay are clueless against outside-the-off deliveries. A series of poor scores seems to be playing on their mind. They look tentative and technically poor.

Drama unfolded in Chennai this morning as actor-president of Tamil Film Producers’ Council (TFPC), Vishal, tried to break open the lock at the council office in T Nagar. Following an argument with the police, he was detained and whisked away in a police van.

Unheralded architect-turned-cricketer, Varun Chakravarthy, who is ‘namma Chennai payyan’, fetched a sensational bid of Rs 8.4 crore, more than 40 times his base price of Rs 20 lakh.

“Maari 2 is a commercial and a family entertainer. It is movie that will make you feel good and it should be watched along with family,” said actor Dhanush. 

An ode to theatre artistes, ‘Seethakathi’ is strikingly different from the run-of-the-mill stuff here. The filmmaker has made sure it is loaded heavily with melo-dramatic sequences for it speaks about stage artistes.
