Now Amy Jackson in a recent interview to Times of India finally revealed the reason why she walked out the film "A lot has been said about my 'walking out' of the Suriya project, so I want to set the record straight once and for all. I was thrilled to get the chance to star alongside Suriya and work with Venkat Prabhu. Unfortunately the script changed. Plus, I felt that after Shankar's film, I needed to continue to aim for meaty roles. I hope I get the chance to work with them again in the future though."

Suriya & Vikram were the first choice for this Film

25/11/2014

Director Vasanthabalan who hugely impressed in Angadi Theru is ready with another classic Kaaviya Thalaivan which is slated for release this friday. The film is about the lives of two theatre artistes played by Siddharth and Prithviraj and the competition that exists between them in a small drama troupe. In a recent interview Director Vasanthabalan revealed that he initially wanted Suriya and Vikram in the lead roles but later opted for Siddharth and Prithiviraj.

A.R.Rahman's soundtrack for the film was already rated 5 stars by most of the critics and will be a huge backbone for the film. "The reason we approached Rahman sir is because music drives the story in our film. We wanted someone who could promise us great music. Rahman sir spent nearly two years to give the kind of music, which plays a vital role in the story, Even for Rahman sir, this project was challenging as he hasn't worked on something like this before. He even gave us most of the songs even before we went on floors with the film, contrary to how he usually works on a project." said Vasanthabalan to IANS.

Nayanthara the reason why Amy out of Masss ?

25/11/2014

If sources are to be believed, Amy Jackson has apparently walked out Suriya's Masss and the reason being Nayanthara. There was a buzz last month that Amy Jackson walked out the Suriya starrer only to be later rubbished off as rumor. Now sources once again report that Pranitha Subhash has replaced Amy Jackson in Masss.

A source reported to Times of India that  "Nayanthara felt very insecure when Shruti Haasan was finalised for the film. Somehow, she managed to have her replaced. When the crew got Amy Jackson on board, she got even more insecure as Amy is the current hot and happening heroine. Nayanthara once again played her dominating self and made Amy walk out of the film by herself. Now, she is ok with Pranitha on board for the film."

Did Amy Jackson walk out of Suriya's Masss ?

05/11/2014

As SS Music earlier reported there was a huge buzz that the sexy ladio Amy Jackson had walked out of Suriya's Masss. Sources said the I girl wasn't intrested in playing second fiddle to Nayanthara and hence the walkout. Now the latest update according to Times of India is that Amy is very much part of Masss and only reason she is currently in Chennai is to shoot for Suriya's Masss

"That is completely false news. Amy is very much a part of Masss, Amy came down to Chennai from London only to take this look test for Masss. Amy's role is very crucial in the film and since it is a super natural thriller, her look is going to be very offbeat. After this look test, she will be joining the Masss team when they head to Bulgaria with Suriya for a schedule. The shoot in Bulgaria is expected to commence around Christmas."  Reported a source to Times of India.

Lingusamy's Yenni Ezhu Naal Dropped ?

03/11/2014

Director Lingusamy last directorial Anjaan set the perfect example on how social media can be used to extensively promote a film. The buzz around the film was absolutely immense but once the film was found out for lack of content the entire promotion backfired leading to countless memes and trolls mocking a particular Lingusamy interview where he was quoted saying he has 'tuned' himself to the script (Naan appadiye tune aayirukein) and that he applied all that he has learnt in these years of cinema in Anjaan (Kathu Kita Motha Vithayum Eraki Iruken). 

Lingusamy before the release of Anjaan announced that his next would be with Karthi and even announced the film's title Yenni Ezhu Naal but Karthi who is currently into Komban has signed up for a bilingual with Nagarjuna which is directed by Vamsi. This has posed a question if Yenni Ezhu Naal has been dropped ?  

However the buzz is that Lingusamy is working on this script again to ensure it's perfect and asked Karthi some time to complete the script work and hence the delay. Sources add once Lingusamy completes the script work he will kickstart Yenni Ezhu Naal again.

Jo' Bday Spl : Suriya reveals how he fell in love with Jo !

18/10/2014

Suriya and Jyothika are one of the most loved real life couples in K'Town, Today Jyothika celebrates her 35th Birthday and to mark the special occasion we dug out a special interview from Suriya where he talks about he he first fell in with Jo and much more. Here is the extract from the Times of India interview 

I met her in 1999, when she was shooting her first film Poovellam Kettuppar, which happened to be my fifth film. Even though my career was not successful at that time, she became a big star post the film. I was attracted to her for her sincerity. Even though she was a Mumbai girl, who did not know Tamil, she learnt the language and would not fumble with her lines being the only woman amongst men on the set. She had no ego and I liked the way she would treat her assistants and I saw her grow as an actor. But we did not share mobile numbers till three years later, when I was passing her set, trying to avoid her which she saw and asked her assistant to call me. She said, 'Why are you not saying a hi to me?' She was a big star, while I was still struggling and was doing a film Nandha with Bala at that time.

We started talking and I also invited her to open a snooker joint for one of my friends. My actual big break also came through her for Gautham Menon's Kaakha Kaakha, in which she had already been cast. She could not sit in the audience, watched Nandha from the projector room and recommended me to Gautham that made him cast me. We got married in 2006, post which Jo stopped working. I like the fact that she has always been clear-headed about her opinions and people, is humble and takes good decisions.

Also unlike her, I was not as close to my family and she taught me how to become a good father and disconnect from work at home. She makes me give my kids a bath, take them for a drive, put them to sleep and spend time with them. We are good friends and I don't hide anything from her. Unlike me, who is boring, she is fun and speaks a lot. Apart from my director Bala, who always made me realise my potential, she instilled confidence in me. I think Jo likes me being this simple and shy guy despite the family I belong to."

Hari, too, wanted some time to pen the script. So, it will take at least nine months for the duo to start their project. They are yet to decide whether it will be the third installment of Singam or a fresh script."

Will Gautham Menon work with Suriya Again ?

10/09/2014

Surya and Gautham Menon were a formidable duo in Kollywood, Their combo always resulted in landmark movies in Kaakha Kaakha and Varanam Aayiram. The duo were supposed to complete a hat-trick in Dhruva Natchathiram but Surya pulled out from the movie at last second and made this statement "I feel that myself and Gautham are diametrically opposite in our ideologies. This being the case, I firmly think I won't be able to work together with Gautham."

Gautham Menon in a recent interview was quizzed if he would work with Suriya again ? He is the extract "Right now, I don't see that happening. Somewhere two people have to connect. Whenever I write a script, Trisha has been my first choice for lead because we have a good connect - like I feel with Ajith and the comfort level that I always feel with Simbu... till I feel that connect with somebody, I am not looking to work with that person."
