Suriya’s 7am Arivu audio expected in Mid June!
It was earlier announced that the audio of Suriya’s 7am Arivu is going to be released in March but it didn’t happen due to some obstacles. One of the big audio companies Sony BMG, which is riding high in K-town, has purchased the audio rights for a whopping amount.
Suriya who aims to bring difference in each every role from film to another will appear in three different roles of a circus artist named Sanjay, a Chinese monk and a scientist named Anwar Basha. Kollywood’s gorgeous beauty Shruthi Haasan will be seen in the role of a scientist. The budget of this magnum opus is more than 45 crores.
Music is by Harris Jayraj and one can expect some best tracks in the album.
Suriya will be performing nearly 10 astonishing feats live on stage along with some trained circus artistes which will be a special attraction of the audio launch.
Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies is producing the film and the production house is making sure that everything in the film looks classy and elegant.
Rajinikanth going to Singapore for treatment
Superstar Rajinikanth will be going to Singapore tonight for further treatment. The actor, who is admitted at the Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre for recurrent respiratory infection and gastrointestinal problems, was moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) last week and put on dialysis, as his kidneys were not functioning normally.
The actor will be accompanied by his wife Latha Rajinikanth, daughter Aishwarya and a few close relatives. Reports claim that his ticket is booked as a ‘wheelchair passenger’ and his family is planning to seek the permission from the airport authorities to allow the ambulance till the airport runway.
It may be recalled that his condition started getting better after the actor was moved to the normal ward from the ICU. Hospital sources also claimed that the actor was cheerful and recovering well. However, going abroad has been on the cards ever since he fell ill even though Latha Rajinikanth repeatedly denied the reports.
Comedian Senthil admitted in hospital
Comedian Senthil was admitted to the Billroth Hospital in Aminjikarai, Chennai and is getting treated for the piles complaint that has been troubling him for quite some time now.
Senthil formed a successful alliance along with ace comedian Goundamani, considered by many as the ‘King of Comedy’, and was an integral part of many films that released throughout the period from the mid-eighties till the late-nineties. The duo was mainly instrumental in making many mediocre films tasting success at the box-office, thanks to their comedy track which mostly ran parallel to the story of the film(s).
After Goundamani chose not to star in films a few years back, Senthil too found no takers for his brand of comedy. The fact that he campaigned against Kalaignar and in favour of Amma during the 2006 elections meant that he faced an ‘unofficial boycott’ from the industry for the next five years.
Senthil’s relatives admitted him to the Billroth hospitals where he is presently treated by a team of doctors led by Dr. Kannan. A surgery was also performed yesterday to correct the anomaly, it is said. Senthil is said to have responded well to the treatment and if everything goes well, he could be discharged in 2-3 days, the sources at the hospital said.

Kamal takes over Viswaroopam from Selva
The film produced by Telephoto Films was originally slated to be directed by Selvaraghavan, with Kamal Haasan and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead and music by Shankar Ehasan Loy.
The buzz is that since the unit could not get US visas on time, the shooting was postponed. And Selva got busy trying to complete his Irandam Ulagam for UTV with his brother Dhanush.
Now the producer of Viswaroopam got all the necessary formalities to shoot in London, Canada and US. He approached Kamal Haasan and requested him to direct the film as the script and screenplay is by the star. Kamal agreed and will now start the shoot from June 4.
Viswaroopam is being made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi on a big budget and will become one of the biggest projects in the country. The film is proposed to be shot on Red Camera and is likely to release around Kamal’s birthday on November 7.
Aaranya Kaandam is ready for release
The unit had a press meet to inform the media about the details in the presence of the cast and crew. The cast, including Jackie Shroff from Mumbai, Yasmin Ponappa, a model turned actor , Sampath Raj and new face Guru Somasundaram were all present along with the director Thiagarajan Kumararaja and producer SP Charan.
Ravikrishna the other hero, was missing in action and Charan announced that he was unwell. Child actor Vasanth was also present.
The film won the jury prize at the South Asian International film festival in New York but it was held up by the censors in a tussle. 52 cuts were recommended but the makers went on to the revising committee and the tribunal to fight their case.
Now the film has passed with an A certificate and Charan says,”We want only adults to see the film. If you can vote, you should see this film. We could not cut the scenes they wanted as it would have diminished the narration of the film. They told us that the scenes were against the local culture, sensitivity and would not be accepted by the people. But finally we did cut a few scenes of our own accord, without hampering the film.”
The film was in the news for the strong foul language and violent scenes but Charan justifies the language saying, “This is the way the characters speak in their lives”
Talking about the delay in the making he admits, “It was delayed due to pre and post production work and a lot of CG.”
Jackie Shroff praised his heroine Yasmin saying, “She reminds me of Smita Patil and is very talented.” Talking about the debut director Jackie said, “I have done 170 films but he is like the Kohinoor in my head.”
Wishing his co star in Utthara darshan, Rajnikanth, Jackie added, ‘I wish him a speedy recovery. He played my younger brother in that film.”
Charan was happy that he had introduced six new directors in his six productions so far and predicted that Kumararaja too would make it big after the release of this film. The film is about the primordial instincts latent in man in the concrete jungles of the cities, hence lending credibility to the title.
