Sarkar will be much better than Kaththi and Thuppakki: AR Murugadoss

Vijay and AR Murugadoss form one of the most successful actor-director combos in South Indian cinema. The duo have already given two huge blockbusters – Thuppakki and Kaththi – are now coming together for the third time. Their upcoming movie titled as Sarkar promises to be nothing short of a treat for the audience. The massive reception for the title and first look itself is a testament to the kind of expectations the movie has among the general public.

AR Murugadoss has assured that Sarkar will be much different from and better than Thuppakki and Kaththi. While Thupakki was a thrilling story of an army man fighting the sleeper cells, Kaththi discussed the plight of farmers in Tamil Nadu and how a con man stands up for them against the powerful corporates. Both the movies struck a chord with majority of the cine-goers and emerged successful, both critically and commercially.

As the title suggests, Sarkar is a political thriller. Murugadoss, a socially conscious filmmaker, has reportedly scripted a mass entertainer with strong political flavor. The present political scenario in Tamil Nadu will be discussed in the movie. With such a big star like Vijay in the helm of things, the reach and impact will be multifold.

Vijay’s character in Sarkar is said to be one of the most challenging roles he has done so far in his career. Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar, Pala Karuppiah, Radha Ravi, Yogi Babu, Prem, Livingston and many others are also part of the movie’s cast. Music is by maestro AR Rahman and Girish Gangadharan cranks the camera.

Sarkar produced by Sun Pictures is slated to hit screens worldwide for Diwali in November.

Dulquer Salmaan is all excited about the release of Solo’s Telugu version – Athade

Dulquer Salmaan is all excited about the release of Solo’s Telugu version – Athade

Bejoy Nambiar directorial Solo is easily the most ambitious attempt by Dulquer Salmaan in his acting career so far. An anthology of four different films, the movie had Dulquer playing four extremely different roles – an army man, a musician with a stammering problem, a revenge seeking husband and a cold blooded gangster.

Solo made as a Tamil-Malayalam bilingual hit screens in October last year. Upon release, the movie was met with mixed response from the critics and ended up failing to make any sort of impact at the box office. Solo is now making a comeback as the Telugu version of the movie titled as ‘Athade’ is hitting screens today (June 22).

Dulquer, who has always had Solo close to his heart, is all excited about the release as he penned a note on his Facebook post, which reads,

I am really excited to announce the release of Solo, dubbed in Telugu as Athade. It’s amazing to see how our movies are going different places in different languages. Hope you enjoy it.

Bejoy Nambiar conceived Solo’s story based on the four basic elements of nature – Water, Wind, Earth and Fire. Dulquer’s four characters – Shekar, Trilok, Rudra and Siva – are basically the avatars of Lord Shiva. Even though the attempt to try something unqiue was appreciated, the movie failed to strike a chord with the common audience during its original release. The makers will be hoping for a change in fortune this time with the Telugu release.

Dulquer is now popular among the Telugu audience thanks to the huge success of his recently released film, Mahanati. The makers of Athade will be trying to cash in on that to have a good run at the box office.

Sarkar: Here’s the second look poster of Vijay’s next with AR Murugadoss!

Earlier in the day, the much awaited title and first look poster of Vijay’s upcoming movie with AR Murugadoss was released. Vijay is turning 44 today (June 22) and to make it special, the makers have released the second look poster of the movie. The new poster is dedicated as a birthday treat for the actor’s scores of fans across the world.

As the title ‘Sarkar’ suggests, the movie is a political thriller. Like his previous films, AR Murugadoss is presumed to have scripted a commercial entertainer with a relevant social issue as the crux.
Vijay is reportedly playing a rich businessman’s role in the movie. Keerthy Suresh has been paired with him for the second time after Bhairavaa.

Pala Karuppaiah, a politician in real life, is playing one in the movie as well while veteran Radha Ravi essays the role of a MLA. Along with them, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar is also playing a brief but very crucial role. Livingston, Yogi Babu, Prem and some other noted actors are also part of the supporting cast.

Sarkar’s technical crew includes Malayali cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, multiple National award winning editor Sreekar Prasad and music maestro AR Rahman. Sun Pictures is making a comeback to production after a long gap by funding this big budget venture. The movie is slated for a grand release this coming Diwali in November.

Sarkar: Here’s the title and first look of Vijay’s next with AR Murugadoss

Tamil superstar Vijay is celebrating his birthday tomorrow and as a treat for his fans, the title and first look of his upcoming movie has been released today. The movie titled as ‘Sarkar’ is directed by AR Murugadoss. This is the actor-director’s third outing together
after the blockbuster hits ‘Thuppakki’ and ‘Kaththi’.

The first look of Sarkar was first aired on Sun TV. This is probably the first time in Tamil cinema history that a movie’s first look is being released directly on a television channel. Sun Pictures is making a comeback to production after a long gap by funding this big budget venture.

Just like Vijay-ARM team’s last two films, Sarkar is also said to be centred around a relevant social issue. Murugadoss himself has scripted the movie and dialogues are penned by noted writer Jeyamohan, who is also the co-writer of 2.O. Vijay is reportedly playing the role of a rich businessman and Keerthy Suresh is paired with him in the movie.

Pala Karuppaiah, a politician in real life, is playing one in the movie as well while veteran Radha Ravi essays the role of a MLA. Along with them, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar is also playing a brief but very crucial role. Livingston, Yogi Babu, Prem and some other noted actors are also part of the supporting cast.

Vaan is a feel-good movie that has love, travel, emotions and every aspect of a light-hearted film: Director Ra Karthik

Vaan is a feel-good movie that has love, travel, emotions and every aspect of a light-hearted film: Director Ra Karthik

As we had earlier reported, Dulquer Salmaan has signed a new Tamil movie titled Vaan. Debutant Ra Karthik is directing this movie. Though it was earlier reported to be a romantic travelogue, director Ra Karthik says that the movie cannot be categorized into a particular genre. According to him, Vaan is a feel-good movie that has love, travel, emotions and every aspect of a light-hearted film.

With Vaan, the makers intend to create positivity in the minds of people who are pessimistic about their life. The movie will give the audiences a positive approach towards their life. It will be shot across the country with major portions set in North India. Himachal Pradesh, Gangtok, Kolkata, Goa, Chennai and Coimbatore are the major locations.

Vaan has four female leads with equal space for each of them. Ra Karthik assures that Vaan, which means sky in Tamil, will not be yet another cliched love story. The team is in talks with heroines like Nivetha Pethuraj and Shalini Pandey but an official announcement has not yet been made. Dulquer will be seen sporting multiple looks in the movie.

Apparently, the makers are still figuring out whether to do the movie as a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu. With the huge success of the recently released Savitri biopic, Mahanati, Dulquer has become popular among the Telugu audience and that clearly has inspired the makers of Vaan to think about a bilingual.

Vaan’s technical crew includes DOP George C Williams, well known for his splendid works in movies like ‘Theri’, ‘Kaththi’ and ‘Raja Rani’, multiple national award winning editor Sreekar Prasad and composer Dheena Dhayalan. Selva Kumar J is bankrolling the movie under the banner of Kenanya Films.

The song titled ‘Mizhi Mizhi’ is sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Haricharan. BK Harinarayanan has penned the lyrics for the song set to tune by Shaan Rahman.

My Story which marks the directorial debut of Roshni Dinaker is scripted by actor-writer Shankar Ramakrishnan. The movie was shot in multiple schedules in Portugal and other European countries. According to the makers, it is a feel good love story set in two timelines – 1995 and today.

My Story has Hollywood actor Roger Narayan playing the baddie. The supporting cast also includes Manoj K Jayan, Ganesh Venkatraman, Maniyanpilla Raju, Nandu and Sanju Sivaram among others. Its technical crew includes cinematographer Dudley, editor Priyank Prem Kumar and music director Shaan Rahman.

Roshni Dinaker and OV Dinaker are jointly producing My Story under the banner of Roshni Dinaker Productions. The new release date has not yet been announced.

YSR biopic: Mammootty starts shooting for Yatra in Hyderabad

As reported by last day, Mammootty has joined the sets of Yatra, his upcoming Telugu movie in which he plays the role of late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Mahi Raghav is directing this movie which is being made as a biopic on YSR. Shoot has officially kick-started in Hyderabad with Mammootty allotting around 40 days for the first schedule.

Yatra has been planned as one of the biggest movies in Telugu cinema in recent years. The recent success of Mahanati, the biopic on legendary actress Savithri, is sure to inspire the makers of Yatra. YSR is one of the most popular and revered politicians that the state of Andhra Pradesh has ever seen. Upon hearing his unfortunate death in a helicopter crash, hundreds of his followers are said to have committed suicide.

According to director Mahi Raghav, Yatra is an event-based film which primarily focuses on the time during YSR’s famous three-month-long padayatra in 2003. The padayatra was a defining moment in his career which transformed him into a people’s leader. Apart from Mammootty, the movie will also have some leading actors from Telugu cinema essaying crucial roles.

The makers ar planning to complete shooting and post-production formalities in six months and release the film by next January. The movie is being produced jointly by Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devi under the banner of 70MM Entertainments.
