Finally, we’ve got a news on Endhiran! The team was spotted at the Rajalakshmi College in Maduravayal in Chennai shooting an important fight sequence. The fight has been choreographed by the Shankar’s favorite stunt director Peter Hein and art director Sabu Cyril has taken care of the sets for the sequence. Two Ford cars were brought to the spot for this particular scene. While one was a real car driven by Rajinikanth in the film, the other was a dummy which was brought in to be blown up in a shoot out. Yesterday, the crew including the superstar has shot few scenes on the newly constructed bridge near Mugappair West.

Selvaraghavan is taking his own sweet time in completing his pet project Aayirathil Oruvan, which he hopes will be a cult hit in Indian cinema, just as the Indiana Jones series was in Hollywood. Aayirathil Oruvan has been in the making for nearly two years now, with periodic release rumours. Even recently, it was said that the movie was to be a 2009 Diwali [October 17th 2009] release, after missing its earlier announced release date of Independence Day [August 15th]! Coming up in November is Children’s Day and since the movie fits in the action adventure genre,this would be a good date to release it. But will that happen? At this point, even Selva is not too sure, because the post production work is taking longer than he anticipated. Re-recording for the movie is on at a reputed studio in London while graphics work is happening in Mumbai. With still one-third of the work remaining, it appears the wait will continue till Pongal 2010 [January 14th] and it may release with Vettaikaran! With Selva, you never know!

Looks like remakes do spell success!! Ninaithale Innikum, Unnaipol Oruvan and now Kanden Kadhalai. Though each movie is different in terms of story and treatment, the underlying common thread is that they are all remakes of hit films: Classmates, A Wednesday and Jab We Met respectively. These films have proved that to make a remake successful, just copying the original is not enough. The stories have to be adapted and tweaked to suit the target audience.

With Kanden Kadhalai having received such a good response, Sun Pictures and Moser Baer are definitely happy to be part of a good family entertainer. bharath, who has tried his hand at action roles for some time now, is now the next romantic hero on the block. (You can read more about him in the latest issue of Galatta Cinema.) And Tamannaah continues her hit run… Padikkaathavan, Ayan and now Kanden Kadhalai.Kanden Kadhalai rocking the box office

Nayantara and Prabhu Deva sitting together at the South Scope Style awards function in Hyderabad naturally drew the attention of mediapersons. When Nayan attended the recent All India Workers’ Federation gala function at Chennai, she reportedly stayed in a three star hotel to avoid a confrontation with Prabhu Deva’s wife Ramlath who was frantically looking for her in five hotels. In a freewheeling chat Nayantara had with the anchor of a leading satellite channel on Diwali Day, she is now more open about their relationship. Even Prabhu Deva reportedly said that even a child knows the relevance of the tattoo on Nayantara’s left hand.

Nayantara has entered Sandalwood with less roles in Tamil; she has reportedly put a few interesting Telugu offers also on hold. Prabhu Deva’s stock is rising and he is most-wanted after the success of Wanted.

Nayantara is currently on holiday in her favourite destination, Dubai. Will Prabhu follow her to Dubai? Only he and the celestial Prabhu knows!
