SIMBU IS UTTHAMA PUTTHIRAN

Now it’s time to settle down with matured gesture for Silambarasan. The young actor had experimented in his very own ways and indeed gained popularity from certain classes of audiences. But now, his decision to strike with a different dimension has yielded him better results.

It can be simply exemplified with his upcoming film ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ that portrays him as a normal guy. He enacts the role of an assistant director falling in love with a Christian girl Jessie and is ready to sacrifice his dreams for her. His other project ‘Ko’ with K.V. Anand depicts him as a photo journalist and has a gripping storyline departing longer away from Simbhu’s usual traits.

Now, his other film with director Boopathy Pandian is all set to get-go shortly within next couple of months. Produced by Lingusamy under the banner name of Tirupathi Brothers, the film has been tentatively titled as ‘Utthama Putthiran’. As of now, Lingusamy seems to be busy with pre-release tasks and will kick-start his other productions shortly after the release of ‘Paiyya’…

Udhayanidhi Will Cross The Skies With Gowtham

S.S. Kumaran gets Silambarasan singing

He is an active singer, we say. Though busy in acting, he happily grabs the offer that comes his way for showcasing his singing talent. Just the same way, Silambarasan crooned for the tunes of composer S.S. Kumaran of ‘Poo’ fame. Silambarasan was in Alwarpettai Rajiv Menon Studio yesterday and rendered his voice for a song in the movie.
One can’t miss to enjoy the tunes of ‘Poo’ that showered a relishing flavour of nativity. S.S. Kumaran is now back with a similar genre of movie titled ‘Nellu’, directed by M. Sivasankar.
Produced under the banner of Karthickjai Movies, ‘Nellu’ has debutants Sathya and Bhagyanjali in the lead.

Simbu, K.V.Anand come together for 'Ko'

K.V.Anand's next, which would have Simbu in the lead role, has been titled 'Ko'. S Kumar and R Jayaraman of RS Infotainment, who are currently producing 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya', would produce the movie.

According to circles close to the producers, the title 'Ko' means king in Tamil. The movie would be an out and out commercial entertainer on the lines of K V Anand's earlier venture 'Ayan', they say.

Interestingly, the producers are also making a yet-to-be-titled film, which is also being directed by Goutham Menon, simultaneously. The movie stars a newcomer Veera with Samerera Reddy in the lead.

'Ko' brings together Anand, writer-duo Subha and Harris Jayaraj again after the success of 'Ayan'. Peter Hein will choreograph stunt sequences.

‘VTV Isn’T So Special’ – Silambarasan

Expectation values are literally higher for Gowtham Menon’s ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’. But there’s something we hear from lead actor Silambarasan as he says, “Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya isn’t a run-of-the-mill story as it is a simple family based romantic entertainer. But Gowtham has laid his trademark style of filmmaking with rich visuals and gripping screenplay. To be precise, VTV is almost alike his debut directorial ‘Minnale’….”

As mentioned earlier, the film is about an assistant director aspiring to make it big in film industry. However, when he falls in love with a Christian girl Jessie (Trisha), he’s ready to give up his big dreams for winning her love.

Gowtham Menon has planned to release the film for Valentine’s Day as the Grammy Awards has been slated to happen at the same time. Incisively, winning Grammy awards could bring more attention towards this film.

‘VTV’ songs from Jan 12

For Rahman fans, this year’s Pongal celebrations would start from January 12 itself. The reason is- audio CDs and cassettes of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’, the music composer’s first Tamil venture after winning the Oscars, will be available in stores from coming Tuesday.
The music album of the Silambarasan-Trisha starrer, directed by Goutham Vasudev Menon, was released in London recently. The function was attended by top musicians in the United Kingdom, besides select guests from Chennai.
‘VTV’ is the first film for Goutham and Rahman to work together. “I am happy that Rahman’s first film after the Oscar honour is directed by me. His music is one of the major highlights of the movie,” says the filmmaker.
Heaping praises on Rahman, the movie’s heroine Trisha says, “I am a great fan of Rahman since my school days. I was literally flying when I was told that he would compose music for ‘VTV’. I had the opportunity to interact with him. He was so simple and humble.”

AFTER NAYANTHARA AND TRISHA NOW TAMANNA FOR SIMBU

Tamil actor Simbu is there to help the actresses for their entry into Kollywood. Earlier he had helped Nayan and Trisha. Nayan entertained him with her lip locks, Trisha managed him just with warm hugs.

Tamanna who already landed in Kollywood is currently planning to utilise the services of Simbu, so as she can quickly climb to top position at the earliest. That’s why nowadays Tamanna is also roaming around him to have a chance to work with him.

In her latest Tamil film ‘Payya’ audio release function she was seen glued to Simbhu and trying to impress him. So soon we can see Simbu tastes hot Tamanna lips and warm hugs.

Sony Music India’s foray into the Tamil movie industry (Kollywood) has created many landmarks and milestones with some of the most successful and prestigious projects. And in yet another pioneering initiative, Sony Music India announced the global launch and world premiere of A.R. Rahman’s most-anticipated and awaited soundtrack from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa – meaning ‘Will you cross the skies for me?’ – and abbreviated to VTV. What takes public anticipation to new heights is the fact that this is the first Tamil album from A.R. Rahman after his double Academy Award win and just before the Grammy Awards – scheduled for February 10.

VTV stars Silambarasan (Simbhu) – touted as the next superstar in Kollywood – and beautiful Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The film is directed by Gautham Menon (whose previous Tamil film Vaaranam Aayiram was a critical, commercial and musical blockbuster with songs released by Sony Music).

At the sneak music preview of VTV held in London on 19th December 2009, the entire cast and crew (including A.R. Rahman, Gautham Menon, Simbhu, Trisha and all the singers) were present. About this music preview, Gautham Menon said, “London was a great experience. We had a live unplugged performance of all the songs by the singers who have sung in the album. The audience, mostly English, loved the music. Everybody felt it sounded very international, which was hardly surprising, considering it was music by A.R. Rahman. The intention was to reach and test the music on an international audience. We achieved more than that. We plan to do a road show with all the singers now. This was a first of it's kind show. Now the expectation about the film is tremendous and the pressure is on me now.”

The music of VTV will be released physically on CDs and cassettes across the world and via Amazon.com for online buyers. Digitally, VTV music will be available on iTunes, Nokia Store, and iPhone application from the first week of January.

This unique activity for VTV will be executed through an iPhone music application (app) which will allow users to stream and listen to the complete songs, download the songs, wallpapers and other movie-related information.

This initiative, a first-in-the-world for an iPhone application entirely based on movie OST by Sony Music, is the result of the joint efforts by Sony Music Entertainment India and DCI Mobile Studios, a leading Chennai-based software and mobile applications developer, a division of Galatta.com. The service will be available to all registered users of iPhone apps across the world. A user will be charged $1.99 for downloading the application, facilitating unlimited streaming of the songs from the album and $2.99 to download the whole album.

Galatta.com has also taken steps to restrict unauthorized sharing of the content through this unique application. A user who downloads the songs on his iPhone or iPod will not be able to transfer it to any other (meaning unauthorized) device.

Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, Sony Music India, said, “Sony Music has always been at the forefront of redefining music marketing. This initiative, which is a first in India, will enable a savvy generation of smart phone users to access streamed audio feeds over an active data connection. Our efforts have always been to make the music reach its audience as, when, and how they want to enjoy it. We are quite certain that A.R. Rahman’s fans and lovers of his music will enjoy his genius through this application.”

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Girish Ramdas (President, Galatta.com) said, “At Galatta.com, we recognize that mobile applications are a very personal medium and should fulfill end-users’ desire to stream in personal choice of audio content wherever they are; the iPhone is an ideal vehicle for monetizing Sony’s content. This app will fulfill the dream of mobile subscribers for easy access to the highly-anticipated film’s songs and get to listen to the genius A.R. Rahman."

The movie will be released in the second week of February 2010.
