Dhanush sings for Vetrimaaran’s Viduthalai

We had earlier reported about Soori and Vijay Sethupathi playing the leads in Vetrimaaran’s next titled ‘Viduthalai’. The film’s shoot is currently in the final stages. Maestro Ilaiyaraja is composing the music. In a recent interview, Vetrimaaran revealed that the film has a total of 3 songs, one of which is rendered by Dhanush.

Though the actor has sung for composers like Anirudh, GV Prakash and Yuvan Shankar Raja, this is the first time he is lending his voice for a song composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Apparently, the veteran composer trained Dhanush from 11 AM to 3 PM before recording the song.

‘Viduthalai’ is based on the short story ‘Thunaivan’ written by Jeyamohan. Soori plays a police constable in the film while Vijay Sethupathi will be seen as an accused. Prakash Raj and Gautham Menon essay other prominent roles. Bhavani Sre, who made an impressive debut with ‘Thangam’ in the Netflix anthology ‘Paava Kadhaigal’, is also part of the cast.

Elred Kumar of RS Infotainment is producing the film.

Minnal Murali trailer: Tovino shines as the desi superhero!

The trailer of ‘Minnal Murali’ has been released by Netflix. It is quite a detailed one from which we learn that Tovino’s character gets superhero powers after being struck by a powerful lightning. He enjoys his super powers and experiments with it, which makes way for many fun moments. However, the trailer doesn’t reveal anything about the conflict part. Tamil actor Guru Somasundaram plays the villain role in the film. Expect for some slight glimpses, nothing much about his character is shown, which makes it intriguing.

Directed by Basil Joseph, ‘Minnal Murali’ is planned as a pan-Indian film that will be released in 5 languages – Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. It is scripted by Arun Anirudhan and Justin Mathew.

Sophia Paul of Weekend Blockbusters is producing ‘Minnal Murali’. Though the makers were keen on a theatrical release, the long delay due to the pandemic forced them to opt for a direct OTT release. Netflix acquired the rights for a huge price. The film will be out on their platform on December 24 as a Christmas special.

Annaatthe trailer: Rajinikanth’s new film promises to be a proper festive entertainer

The trailer of Rajinikanth’s ‘Annaatthe’ has been released. The 2.41-minute long trailer gives an overall idea about what to expect from the film. Rajinikanth plays a character named Kalaiyyan, who is the president of the neighbouring villages. He heads a large joint family that includes the likes of Khsubhu, Meena, Pandiarajan, Livingston, Sathish, Soori, Kulapulli Leela and many others.

Keerthy Suresh plays Rajinikanth’s sister in the film and Nayanthara is paired opposite him. It is the heartwarming brother-sister bonding between Rajinikanth and Keerthy that forms the film’s crux. Things take a turn after she gets married. Prakash Raj, Jagapathi Babu and Abhimanyu Singh play the baddies. While the first half of the film seems to be placed in a rural setting, the action shifts to Kolkata in the second half.

From the trailer, it is clear that ‘Annaatthe’ is very much on the lines of director Siva’s last film ‘Viswasam’. With such a huge star cast and all the commercial elements, ‘Annaatthe’ is most likely to emerge as a big success during this festive period. The film is scheduled to have a grand Deepavali release on November 4, 2021.
