In Vettai Mannan you are acting with Simbhu. How was it?
Many were telling that Simbhu was a problematic person. People who do not understand him have the opinion like that. Simbhu is an all rounder. To say the truth, he is a damn cool person.
You are always getting entangled in rumours?

I have earned a name that I will act in any role given to me. There is no truth in the news that I have lost the market or I don’t have films in hand.
When I was new to cinema, I accepted all the films that came my way. I also acted in few of the films because of the proximity I had with the producer or the director.
Now I have become financially strong. Now it is not necessary for me to act in all the films. I have decided to act in the films that have good stories.
Many are spreading rumours because of this. In some of the films I continue to dance for a single song and also busy participating in the functions.”

Anjali the top heroine of 2011
Times have gone when frontline heroines would be starring in around 8 to 10 films in a calendar year. At times, heroines had even starred even in 12 films an year. Nowadays, in the face of stiff competition, it’s becoming extremely difficult for heroines to star in 4-5 films per year at the most.
2011, the year which drew to a close three days back, witnessed the on-screen dominance of many young heroines. While leading heroines such as Nayantara, Trisha, Shriya Saran and Tamannaah suffered setbacks, young hotties in the form of Hansika, Amala Paul, Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha and Anjali have started dominating the Tamil and Telugu film industries.
Hansika debuted last year and had three films releasing out of which only the Vijay-starrer Velayudham turned out to be successful. She, however, has two big releases coming up in the form of Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Vettai Mannan opposite Udhayanidhi and Simbu respectively in that order. Anushka delivered back-to-back hits in Simbu-Bharath starrer Vaanam and Vikram-starrer Deivathirumagal where she played with aplomb the advocate’s role. She has a few films up her sleeve including films opposite Vikram and Aarya.
Lakshmi Rai too had back-to-back successes in Ajith’s Mankatha and Raghavendra Lawrence’s Kanchana. Thanks to her improved looks, Rai was appreciated and loved by fans in both the films. Richa Gangopadhyay, the other newcomer, had two releases in Mayakkam Enna opposite Dhanush and Osthe opposite Simbu. However, both the films managed only average business.
Anjali had the best year in her career and attained the top position of starring as heroine in maximum number of films in 2011. After impressing everyone with her amazing performance in 2010’s Angaadi Theru, Anjali kept up the good work last year as well and starred in consecutive hit films in Ajith’s Mankatha and debutant director Saravanan’s Engeyum Eppodhum. She had other releases such as Magizchi, Karungaali and Thambi Vettothi Sundaram.
It remains to be seen as to who comes out on top this year!
GV Prakash Kumar – Most wanted in 2012!
At the moment GV is working with Bala and Bharathiraja. The composer who likes to work with AL Vijay and Vetrimaran (more so because they started their journey in the tinsel town together), has always given a new feel and dimension to his songs. He has also been signed as the music director for AL Vijay’s as well as Vetrimaran’s next.
Apart from his projects in Tamil the composer also has bagged offers to work in some Bollywood projects, one with Big B and another with Akshay! So when will the fans get to enjoy a concert from GV Prakash Kumar? The composer wants to offer his fans a special concert with something different whenever he does it, and for that we will have to wait for at least a year, according to the young and successful musician.
We hope we get to listen to a lot more of good music from GV’s desk top in 2012 as well.

Isha Sharwani is a renowned dancer-turned-actress, who shot to fame with Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krish’ and is making her debut in Kollywood through the movie ‘Viswaroobam’.
Vadivelu in Dhanush flick?
There is a buzz around the film circles in K-town that Dhanush has given his green signal to rope in Vadivelu in his upcoming project which will see Simbudevan calling the shots. It was Simbudevan whose comedy film ‘Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi’ that catapulted Vadivelu as a hero, albeit in a comical role. This film also had Vadivalu in twin roles.
Now there are reports that when Simbudevan revealed his desire to rope in Vadivelu for the comic interludes in his upcoming film with Dhanush playing the lead, the latter without thinking twice, gave his nod to the director.
Will this film too have a pivotal role for Vadivelu to perform which will put the comedian back on track? For that we will just have to wait and watch for the movie to hit theatres.
