Vikram to dance with Shreya and Mumaith Khan

Vikram-starrer Kanthasamy is taking a long time to complete and yet it always pops up in the news for different reasons. A while ago, a song sequence shot in Mexico has attracted a lot of interest in the film. In this song based on the famous bullfights of Mexico, both Vikram and Shreya were dressed as matadors.

Now, the makers of Kanthasamy have decided to cash in on the item number frenzy in Indian films by roping in hot and sexy Mumaith Khan for a song. Moreover, it will also be a remix of an old hit (comedy actor Chandrababu's 'Pambarak Kannale Kadhal...'). Mumaith will shake a leg with Vikram in the song.

Kanthasamy is directed by Susi Ganesan, who had earlier directed films like Virumbugiren, Thiruttu Payale and Five Star.

The film already has the very hot Shreya as heroine. With Mumaith also appearing in an item number song, there is no doubt that the screen will be scorched by these two beauties. With so much to expect from the film, it is no wonder audiences are eagerly waiting for it to release.

UTV signs Vikram, Surya

UTV, the filmmaking and media corporate giant, has finally managed to make Vikram and Surya sign on the dotted lines of its contracts! Thought big-time corporate companies made solid inroads into Kollywood in the past few years, many top actors of Kollywood remained wary of them, but now their guard is slackening up and they are beginning to see the opportunities that can be provided by these corporate.

As per the contract with UTV, Surya will act in their production titled Mugamoodi, which will be directed by ace director Mysskin. (You might remember the rumour that did rounds a while ago stating Surya will act as a superhero in a Mysskin film. Well, this might be it!)

Suriya is engaged with Vaaranam Aayiram (directed by Gautham Menon) and Ayan (directed by K.V.Anand) at present. Following this, he will start working for this UTV production.

Another actor on board is Vikram, who remained elusive to film production corporate so far. The actor is slated to act in a bilingual to be made by Maniratnam following Kanthasamy.

UTV has zeroed in on two best-known method actors of recent times. It makes everyone curious as to what type of film UTV will make with them. With UTV's power, clout and reputation, which now has coupled with the immense talent of these actors, there is no wonder the results will be mind-blowing.

UTV has also signed a deal with Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu for a film as well. Kollywood's brilliant director Gautham Menon will direct him in this film.

shreya and vikram song

For the first time, Vikram has sung a duet along with Suchitra in Susi Ganesan's action adventure Kanthasamy.

It is a sort of a question and answer sing song that goes like this- Excuse me Mr. Kanthasamy….. and will be picturised on Vikram and Shriya.

The song is one of the five, foot-tapping numbers tuned by music director Devi Sri Prasad. At the launch of the film, a few months back a special trailer was made for the occasion where this song was played in the background.

Now Susi and music director Devi has reworked the peppy song, and provided more "dum" to it. In the film, it is going to be a cute love song between an angry Shriya and a cool Vikram, who are at loggerheads.

This unique come-hither song has potential to be a chartbuster is going to be picturised in Mexico next month in a lavish manner by a Mumbai based choreographer.

Kanthasamy in trouble

Vikram starrer Kanthasamy was shot in Mexico, but when the team arrived in India, they learnt that the film roles were damaged in transit. This has upset the team and now the team is depending on the sets put up in Binni Mills campus. Few says that it may be the action of 'Amman' due to anger as the team spread a rumor that the Neam tree that the team used for shooting started pouring milk. Many astrologers also confirm that it should be due to God's curse. Now a days, the action from God seems to more fast than from the Indian legal system.

Vikram in Holidayz?

Rumours about Vikram acting in a Kannada movie named Holidayz can be safely ignored. One of the crew members of the film spoke to media and revealed that they indeed have a guest role for him and are very keen to cast him. But since Vikram is very busy in Tamil films like Kanthaswamy, they did not get a chance to speak with him regarding the role. He added that media reports that Vikram is considering acting in Holidayz are wrong since he has not even been approached for the role. The cameo appearance will need just one day of shooting. He added that the media will be notified once they have spoken to him and if they reach an agreement.

But after the lukewarm response to the Bachchans' Sarkar Raj, it looks like Mani has decided to take an actor who has a national appeal. So it will be Sanjay Dutt taking Vikram's place.

Ileana is all set to act with vikram in his upcoming film which will be directed by K.S. Ravikumar. The beautiful and shapely actress who rules Tollywood, has been very scarce in Kollywood. Kedi, a Ravikrishna starrer, was the only tamilfilm she had acted in. The actress is very choosy about films even in Tollywood and takes care that she does not tarnish the image that she has built up. Recently, it was decided that Khatarnak, one of her Telugu hits, will be dubbed in Tamil and work is in progress in this regard. All this must have made her realize her reach in Tamil Nadu and encouraged her to do a Tamil film. And she has signed up for a prospective blockbuster, for when K.S. Ravikumar directs a movie, it sure turns out a hit and now, with Vikram teaming up with him, nothing less than a blockbuster can be expected. Also, the actress has put an end to speculations that she is shifting her attention to bollywood by signing three Telugu films. These speculations were based on her denial to sign Southern films after her latest success Bhale Dongalu. It is the trend of successful South Indian actresses moving to Bollywood that has to be blamed. We all can breathe a sigh of relief now that we know she is is not migrating Northwards.

Vikram: The real Bheemaa

A junior police officer tells in the movie to the police commissioner: "He is the force that sustains the entire gang. He is the Bheeema, who holds the entire weight on his shoulders". The words perfectly fit the role of Vikram in comparison with the movie Bheema is concerned. In other words, he is not only the Bheemaa IN the movie. He is the Bheemaa OF the movie. He has carried the movie on his strong and able shoulders just as the legendary Bheemaa carried his brothers and mother through the dangerous jungles. True. Bheemaa has excellent music and outstanding camera work. Lingusamy has come out with a script that deals with the subject with sincerity. Ramakrishnan has penned some sharp and sensible dialogues. Kanal Kannan has stunningly choreographed the stunts. Trisha adds marvel to the fare, while Prakash Raj delivers a powerful performance. However, it is Vikram, who is the lifeline of the movie. Lingusamy once said that he has shaped the story keeping Vikram in his mind. Vikram has more than lived up to his expectations. Vikram personifies the essence of the legendary character Bheemaa, who dares to take on anybody, come what may. Bheema is fearless. You look at Vikram's eyes in the film and you can make out what is fearlessness. Legendary Bheemaa relishes strong opponents. You can see the same feeling perfectly reflected in Vikram's body language when he gets ready to face a horde of thugs in the market all alone. If Vikram breaths fire in stunt scenes, he enlivens the proceedings when he shows adulation towards Chinna. He mesmerizes the audience when he exudes the feeling of love. He hits like a thunder in the market. He plays like a kid with kids in the next scene. He innocently smiles at Prakash Raj like a small boy looking at his mentor with adulation. He challenges the commissioner in the party with care free attitude. Later he his face melts like a piece of ice kept under the sun when he looks at a flower. Everything is done with composure. You cannot imagine many actors fitting so perfectly in all these scenes. There will be many who would appreciate Vikram for his portrayal of a mentally affected person in 'Sethu'. His portrayal of a visually impaired in 'Kasi', his handling of a graveyard caretaker with animal instincts in 'Pithamagan', and his unbelievable depiction of multiple personality in Anniyan had many takers and admirers. But Vikram's dimensions do not confined to these roles alone. He has much more to be adored. Very few would have appreciated his portrayal of a collage student with astounding reality in 'Sethu' and smart rendering of a youth aspiring to become a police officer in Dil. He also excelled when it came to enthrall the audiences with commercial cocktail in Gemini. The ease with which he brought out the image of a Police officer with gray shades in 'Samy' was a rare treat on screen. The fact is that Vikram works hard for each of his film irrespective of which genre it belongs to. He gives his 100 per cent in whatever role he plays. He transforms himself as the character he gets. It is this involvement that made him the Bheema of Lingusamy. When Lingu briefed him about the character, Vikram required a few days of time. When he came back, he stunned the director with his appearance. He transformed himself as the character. The make up, the body language, the expressions… Lingusamy was taken aback. "How is your Sekar?" asked Vikram to his director, who was awestruck by the involvement of the man. Vikram loves to experiment. He loves challenges. Everyone knows that Vikram is a fine actor, who could handle any kind of roles. But the handsome actor with lot of talent and hunger for success got a real break after a painful and long struggle. Everyone recognized him when 'Sethu' came in 1999. But he made his debutant as early as in 1990 (En Kadhal Kanmani). He did not have a godfather to back him. To make things worse, he met with a serious accident, which forced him to rest in the bed for almost three years. But when he was offered a chance, he grabbed it and porved the world who he was. The success of Sethu was followed by the successes of Dhill, (2001), Gemini (2002), Dhool, and Saamy (both in 2003). The film prompted director Shankar to notice the potential in him. He booked him for his mega project Anniyan. Vikram, one of the rare actors, who could hold the movie with his performance, has won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in Pithamagan in 2003. He has also won the 52nd Filmfare South Award for Best Actor for his good performance in Anniyan, 2005. These awards are just a few indications of the heights Vikram, the outstanding actor is about to reach. Very few actors would have maintained their charm even if they do not have any releases for a couple of years. Vikram has proved that he is one such actor. Bheemaa came after 26 months of his previous release (Majaa in 2005 November). When Bheemaa was delayed due to financial troubles, Vikram showed his commitment and loyalty towards the project he had taken up. He had actually owned up the project and hence decided to fore go many offers that could have fetched him more fame and crores of money. It is the commitment and rare talent that make Vikram stand out. When such an actor throws his weight behind a project like Bheemaa, there will be little doubt about the success of the venture. The results driving from various centers prove this point beyond doubt.

Three movies every year for Actor Vikram

Vikram is finally a calmed man now. His Bheema has finally seen the lights after a gap of three years. Talking about this the actor says that he did Bheema for its exclusive climax. After Majaa, Vikram did not do anyother movie because of his commitment to Bheema. The price he paid was almost 12 crore, Vikram says. He had a one and half crore personal loss and upto 10 crore losses for not accepting any other movies during this time. The film Bheema has been sold for 23 crores and is expected to get a distributors share of 1 crore in Tirunelveli-Tanjore belt, which normally happens only for blockbusters. The actor is open to all kinds of roles and is willing to experiment his roles, but wants to work only with experienced directors.

Mansoor`s Kanthasamy connection

Actor Vikram Mansoor Ali Khan is back in cinema as the baddie in the Vikram, Shriya starrer 'Kanthasamy'. After suffering a setback in his film as well as political aspirations, it seems that the actor is now in a mood to make amends. He is seriously considering reviving back his drooping acting career by making the right moves. The actor is convinced of his poor take as a hero and has now agreed to settle down for any interesting character roles to benefit up his career. The positive response came from director Susi Ganesan who was out on a hunt for a villain for Vikram and Shriya starrer 'Kanthaswamy'. So we can see Mansoor making a comeback in Kanthaswamy.

“Bheema” – continuing problems

No films of Vikram was released during the last year. Would anything happen this year? There is a big team waiting along with Vikram; like Lingusamy, Trisha, R. D. Rajasekar and Harris Jayeraj. Their joint creation 'Bheema' has been produced several months ago. It has crossed several release dates. They said that December 2007 was a certainty. But nothing happened. Now they say it is due for Pongal. Even that is now uncertain. Seven films like Simbu's 'Kalai', Bharath's 'Pazhani', Cheran's 'Pirivom sandippom' and Prem's 'Ashoka' are getting released during Pongal. 'Bhima has already been censored. It has been granted a U/A certification and parental guidance for age below 18. What is understood from the studios is that due to finance problems 'Bhima may be pushed to the end of the month. The people who worked for the film are worried, as the film has been awaiting release for a long time. Having produced a successful film by using Pulsar motorbike, Vetrimaran is doubly thrilled at getting the gift of a car. Dhanush is the hero in Vetrimaran's next film too!

Bheema- The wait is finally over

A year long wait for fans of Vikram has finally come to an end with his Bheema all ready to polish the screens. This long pending project was in the cans for numerous reasons and every festive occasion that passed seemed like a possible release date. The censors have cleared this movie on the 31st of December and given it 'A' certificate for some graphic violence and Bheema is all ready for release in the Pongal weekend. In the middle of all this, there was also a buzz that Bheema may not make it for Pongal and that it would only see a late January release owing to some pending financial issues. All this was put to an end today with the producers claiming that the film is on schedule and will hit the theatres on January 11th in order to cash in on the six day long Pongal weekend. The financial mess which was dogging the film has been settled by London Karunas of Ayngaran films. It has been reported that notices have been issued to Vikram's fan clubs to start decorating the theatres on the 10th itself. Vikram fans can heave a big sigh of relief now that Bheema is finally arriving with a big hit this Pongal.

Many stars celebrated the New Year in star hotels and striking tourist spots. But Vikram spent the day with 33 children, who had undergone heart surgery. He did this with the help of his wife and fan clubs.

Vikram with Ajith!

he trailer of Chiyaan Vikram's Bheema is now all over the media. After it was initially released on Kalaingar TV, Karunamoorthy of Ayngaran International viewed it. The trailer, which runs for 4 minutes 30 seconds is absolutely fantastic, offering an enticing peek into the movie. Karunamoorthy, impressed with the film, requested A.M. Rathnam, producer of Bheema to allow him to screen the trailer along with the mega release of Ajith's Billa. Rathnam immediately accepted the offer. So now, audiences can get to see the Bheema trailer in 72 theatres across the world. The practice is not very new in industry circles. Though initiated by Hollywood, Yash Raj Films followed this in all their releases. Also the trailer of UTV's big-budget Hrithik- Aishwarya starrer Jodha Akbar was shown along with Shahrukh Khan's Om Shanti Om. Superstar Rajnikanth's upcoming animation film Sultan - The Warrior trailer was screened along with Sivaji theatre prints. Big releases get delayed due to unexpected reasons. If this practice is regularly followed in Kollywood, it will help to satisfy fans curiosity and whet their appetite, in addition to making the screening mutually beneficial for stars and distributors. This is one more good reason to see films on the big screen.

But fate decreed it otherwise.Lingusamy has great expectations of this film since he has veered away from his usual bani in this. Even though hero Vikram plays a dadha role, it is not a usual mobster type of film. Then? Lingusamy gives a buildup that 'Bheemaa' will throw up a lot of surprises. Vikram took along a portable gym with him for the entire shooting schedule. Just before the director called for action, Vikram would do a workout before facing the camera. Trisha has not taken any such risks. She has just reduced her costume for a song pasteurization. These are the only 2 hot news for the media! Having been in the cans for so long because of finance problems, 'Bheemaa' is to finally be released on Jan 11. When asked if this is confirmed news, no one is able to confirm it for sure!

Bheema Music Review

Harris Jayaraj has composed yet another winner with Bheema. His music for earlier Vikatma films Saami and Anniyan have been successful. He continues to weave the magic of his musical notes in this film as well. Listen to the music of Bheema 'Oru Mugam' Lyricist: Pa. Vijay National award-winner Naresh Iyer catches your attention with his strong vocals. Ably supported by Krish, 'Oru Mugam' is a wonderful number. A catchy tune with heavy use of percussion, the songs seems like the intro song for protagonist Bheema (Vikram). The composition is full of vigour and passion, the lyrics of Pa. Vijay toeing the same line. 'Mudhal Mazhai' Lyricist: Na. Muthukumar A signature Harris Jayaraj number, 'Mudhal Mazhai' is just like the first drops of rain and equally welcome. Hariharan's soothing vocals are like light showers in the hills. Mahathi's voice adds to the gentleness of Hari; together, the two weave an emotional memory of our first loves. Though Prasanna is mentioned in the credits, the only other voice that's heard in the beginning and the interludes sounds like a female voice! 'Rangu Rangamma' Lyrics: Pa.Vijay A folk number, the song opens with drumbeats. What follows is a real treat! Vijay sounds great in this kind of song which we rarely hear him sing. But the real joy is Kailash Kher's rustic voice. Kailash has made a name for himself, exposé this kind of folk-based songs in Hindi and proves that language is no barrier. The sharpness in his voice is complemented by Swarnalatha's vocals. She is no alien to this genre either, and renders complete justice. Pa. Vijay's lyrics are full of life. From the sound, it could be the item number picturised on Sherin and Vikram. 'Ragasiya Kanavugal' Lyrics: Yugabharathi A romantic song with a tempo like a gentle breeze, 'Ragasiya kanavugal' touches your heart and brings back all your secret dreams and aspirations. Madhusree reminds us of Sadhana Sargam, who is the veteran in this type of breezy numbers. Hariharan is again a pleasure; with Madhu, the two voices together are very soulful, reminding us of the first time we fell in love. 'Siru Parvayale' Lyrics: Thamarai This is a typical Karthik song, peppy and forceful. Harini's voice is sweet and blends well with Karthik's. It is a run-of-the-mill tune, no risks taken. But still, it is nice to listen to. Thamarai, a Harris Jayaraj regular, has infused the lyrics with emotion. 'Enadhuiyrae' Lyrics: Yugabharathi Three wonderful voices come together for this slow romantic ballad. Nikhil's voice blends well with the ladies', but seems to lack the emotion, the passion that is bountiful in the female track. The voices of Chinmayee, Sadhana and Sowmya are so well blended that it is difficult to differentiate between the three. An interesting experiment, which Harris has often tried earlier and succeeded in.

Release subtle Bheema

It's not out of choice, but ill-luck! Vikram's Bheema has been waiting for release for nearly a year now, but every time we think it will hit the screens, someone else thinks otherwise. Directed by Lingusamy, Bheema brought Vikram and Trisha together again after the very successful Saami. Rising starlet Shirin is also a part of what is expected to be a fast-paced adventure on the silver screen. Harris Jeyaraj's tunes created quite a stir. Lovely melodies and stepped-up beats mark the hit tracks of this movie. And wehave been waiting to check out the visuals. The final post-production work is under way; we are given to understand that the movie has finally disentangled itself from all its financial woe and will release on Pongal.

Kanthaswamy, Billa: In Sivaji’s path

First it was the Superstar and now Ajith and Vikram follow go with. Gone are the days of the simple dressed leading man. Along with glamorous heroines, the actors too are setting the screen on fire with their style and looks. Sivaji sort of set the trend for this in Kollywood, which is being followed by Kanthaswamy. This Susi Ganesan film stars Vikram and Shriya in the lead. The entire team is working very hard for the film, and one look at the movie stills and trailer tell the story of all the hard work. The look of the lead actors, their clothes, the locations, all are very classy and stylish. The director is shooting the film in some never-before-seen locales of the world. Similarly Billa, starring Ajith, Nayantara and Namitha is a real visual treat. One glimpse of the trailer is enough to conclude that this film is going to rewrite the way action flicks are made down south. Ajith looks simply awesome! Looks like we have our own style idol now in Sivaji, Kanthaswamy and Billa!

But Susi Ganesan can make nectar out of water. He planned to shoot a scene where Vikram gets wet in the rain today. The scene would look natural and he could also save the cost of making imitation studio rain! The shooting will start on Chennai's East Cost Road and will also move abroad to other places like Kenya. 'Kandasamy' is line up for release on April 14, 2008. Actually, Susi Ganesan had planned yesterday - to shoot this rain scene when it was raining non-stop.

Starting from the invite with in-built LCD screens showing the teaser promo of the movie to embracing of two villages by the producers, it spells innovation in every facet of film making. The shooting of Kanthaswamy is going on in full swing and the makers seem to be snowed under by the launch function response from the fans and viewers that they are currently rethinking about their already planned strategies for the film. This multi crore project is now all set to go grander as they felt their original plans were outdone by the expectations the promos created. The wave were felt by the crew which decided to go in for some tweaking up of scenes to make it live up to people's expectations and even go beyond that. For this reason they might buy more time; anything to out beat the audience's expectations is a welcome effort. Hope this amendment doesn't force them to digress from the original story but just remain an embossing.

Vikram’s interview

When will Beema see a release? It doesn't matter if films get delayed and are released late; even Pithamagan took a long time before seeing a release. There is some more shooting due for the film; soon it would see a release. There are certain rumours that you are going to do some Hindi films… I still have a lot to achieve in the Tamil industry itself, only after that will I even think of Hindi. My fans range from kids to old people, even Amitabh Bachchan appreciated my role in Anniyan. I have several friends in the Hindi scene like Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi, yet I am not interested in doing Hindi films at the moment. Will you team with director Bala again? If Bala says that I will suit the role, then I will surely act under him. What is your next film? Kandasami directed by Susi Ganesan, the director of Thiruttu Payale would be my next project. Shooting will commence in March.
