STR Eyes on Sonam Kapoor

Following the huge success of ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’, Silambarasan didn’t have any release for nearly more than a year. With still the official release date of his upcoming film ‘Vaanam’ yet to be confirmed, Silambarasan has started working on his next film ‘Vettai Mannan’. The film will mark the debut of Silambarasan in Bollywood as it is simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Since it’s a trilingual project, the makers and actor are keen on signing three actresses each from these respective film industries.

Well, it seems that the actor is keen on signing Sonam Kapoor for one of the female lead roles. It is noteworthy that the producers of ‘Dabangg’ remake are also looking out to sign Sonam Kapoor.

All eyes on STR!


STR’s much awaited Vaanam is likely to be released on April 29th. The producer, Ganesh (of VTV fame) and Cloud 9 movies believe the timing is right for their film to scorch the screens this summer.

Vaanam is a remake of Vedam which had Allu Arjun in the lead and which won him a lot of critical as well as popular acclaim. Insiders swear that STR has done a superb job. Krish who directed the Telugu version has done even better with Vaanam, sources claim. The film is a multi – starrer with Bharath, Anushka and Sonia Agarwal. The music by Yuvan is already a hit.

Simbhu’s last release, VTV was a super- hit and if Vaanam can also set the cash registers ringing, his position as a saleable star will be strengthened.
