Sunday, October 20, 2013

Tamil filmmakers have taken our cinema across the corners of the world through their works... They have also brought different parts of the world to our audiences by shooting many scenes, mostly song sequences, in various beautiful locations in different parts of the world. The units of the recently released Theeya Velai Seyyanum Kumaru and Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara shot some songs with locations in Japan as their backdrop. Both these movies went on to become big hits. Now, the buzz is that Ilayathalapthi Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal will be heading to Japan with their Jilla team, to can some song sequences there. They will be filming visuals for D. Imman's music. It looks like the makers of Jilla - Super Good Films, are looking to make their movie the hat-trick victory for movies shot in Japan, in K-town...

Ajith in a role with gray shades!

Thala Ajith's Arrambam has been making waves right from the day it was announced. This Vishnuvardhan directed multi-starrer also has Arya, Taapsee and Nayantara in lead roles with actors like Rana Daggubati, Kishore, Suman Ranganathan and Atul Kulkarni supporting them. The trailer has been taking the viewers' expectations for the movie to unseen heights. With a lot of things about the movie remaining a mystery, director Vishnuvardhan has revealed some interesting tidbits in a recent interview... but far from satisfying people's curiosities, it has only served to increase them.

The Billa director has revealed that Ajith's character has 2 faces in the movie with one of them having definite shades of gray... but he refused to reveal if Ajith was the villain in the movie... Vishnuvardhan also said that he wanted to be the first to make a movie with Ajith's character having the 'salt and pepper' look, but Venkat Prabhu beat him to it! Yuvanshankar Raja has scored the music for Arrambam, produced by Sri Sathya Sai Movies. This movie, having Sreekar Prasad's editing and Om Prakash's cinematography is slated to hit screens on October 31.
