Silambarasan evades

Although there are still final touches pending for his Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya, the multitasking Silambarasan has gotten around writing script for his next movie Vaaliban. As it seems, he is now indulged in developing the basic plot and the script.
As a result, he is also conspicuous with his absence in the film events including promos, audio releases and premieres. Vaaliban will also be directed by him.

Telugu super star insists on Gautham Menon

After making his debut in Josh, Telugu star Naga Chaitanya, son of popular actor Nagarjuna, is ready to don the greasepaint for the Telugu remake of Vinnathandi Varuvaya. Apparently, Chaithanya’s father is confident of Gautham Menon’s directorial skills so much so that he insists on having his son star in the remake even before the film hits the screens.


Given Gautham’s record, Nagarjuna’s calculation can never go wrong, one can presume. Vinnathandi Varuvaya is a breezy romantic story that is sure to attract the younger audience and hence Nagarjuna feels that it would be better for his son’s career.

Media reports oflate suggested that Silambarasan’s role in Vinnaithandi Varuvaya is that of an assistant director.

Only few songs by ARR: Vinnaithandi Varuvaya?

Hoping to create an unseen charm Silambarasan and Trisha are gearing up to pair up again with, ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ after ‘Alai’. Directed by Goutham Menon the music scores of the movie is handled by the man who has been playing the tunes with great passion, over the years. As the title hints of the memorable romantic song, ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ will have the same music director of the ‘Minsara Kanavu’.

An interesting yet heartbreaking tale is spun regarding the music of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’. The musical maestro was supposed to compose five tracks altogether but, as his dairy is over flowing post Oscar; it is said that he has opted to stop with few songs. It is worthy to note that two songs have been composed already and the shooting for those two songs are done.

Now if it is the truth this would be a blow for the audio companies who have tied their confidence to the movie’s songs, assuming the songs would be composed by the great musician. But a source from our Musical Maestro has rubbished these rumors by saying that the re-recording of the movies is currently happening in Los Angeles.

Well people lets just wait and hope that our beloved composer recreates the magic.

Gautham eases pace: bearded Silambarasan uneasy

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, which started with a bang and was reportedly going on at a great pace, has seen a sudden slackening in proceedings. The reason reportedly is that director Gautham Menon doesn’t seem too keen on getting on with it at the same pace as the initial stages.
Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya is not being made in Tamil alone, it is also being reportedly planned in Telugu with Mahesh Babu in the lead. However, Mahesh Babu’s dates are not available for at least a couple of months and there is no way that the Telugu version can begin until his dates are confirmed.
With the same story, Gautham wants the two films to be completed and released simultaneously. He seems to think that any one of them releasing earlier would affect the chances of the latter, especially if the box office results were not favorable. Added to this is the fact that he also plans to use Rahman’s tunes for the Telugu version too. With the kind of reach that Rahman’s music has, any one album releasing ahead of the other will rob all the novelty off the one following it. So, weighing his options, Gautham seems to have decided that Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya need not sprint to completion as earlier planned.
This seems fine with everyone except Silambarasan. He has acted in two get ups in VTV, one of which has a full grown beard. With film’s shooting not moving as expected, he has been left with his beard in place, unable to take part in any other shooting.

Simple Silambarasan and traditional Trisha

Trisha will be seen in a new look in Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, say the unit members. Well, they have not got any international make up man to get that perfect look; instead director Gautham Menon seems to have decided to do away with that post. Trisha will be wearing minimal or no make up in the movie. She plays a normal, simple city girl, will always be clad in a sari and will perfectly fit the bill as the average conservative woman of Chennai.

Trisha is not the only one who will be going in for no frills look, even hero Silambarasan will be looking like a real common man. He will cut down on the style quotient. All this fits the description of the movie, which according to Gautham will be a simple and cute love story, along the lines of Minnale. The simple looks of the leading actors of Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya will definitely be a pleasant change from the regular fare and let’s hope that it works well on screen.
