Sarath in Gautham's Film


Gautham Menon has finished the final schedule of Kamal's Vetayadu Vilayadu and is busy with the post production work. The film is slated for release on April 14th. Gautham struck box office gold with Minnaley the minty cool love story and then Kaakha Kakha, a romantic action cop story, which redefined the aesthetics of Tamil commercial cinema. Industry talks on VV is very good and the film has been sold for a very high price


Gautham is now ready to shoot his next film, Vilai Uyirendraalum. Sarath Kumar is the hero with Shobana and Jyothika as the two leading ladies. According to Gautham, it is a different love story with some twists. Gautham wanted a middle aged hero as cop in this film and Sarath exactly fitted the bill. Instead of his regular cameraman (Rajashekar), Gautham is using Aravind Krishna (Selvaraghavan's favourite). Harris Jeyaraj is the music director.

Vijay's Next Film


We are aware that Vijay's Puli with SJ Surya is dropped. The news is confirmed that his next movie is going to be Murasu. The film is going to be directed by Muthuvadigu, brother of Perarasu (who directed racy Vijay movies like Thirupachi and Sivakasi). Perarasu has assured Vijay that he would assist his brother with the screenplay and direction. After the Aathi failure, Vijay is not keen on Trisha. Asin has other commitments. Though it is strongly rumoured that Chitiram Pesuthadi heroine Bhavana may get the chance to pair up with Vijay, the chance can also go to either Ileana or Tamanna (the two heroines in Ravi Krishna’s KD).The film is produced by ‘Swargachitra’ Appachan
