More news →Surya takes on Chiru
This has got to be something of a record. Telugu filmdom and the Andhra fans have always been very open and accommodative. That is why Tamil films, Tamil directors and Tamil music directors have such a fine record here. Now cashing on this popularity, a Tamil actor is being featured in a commercial that is being canned exclusively for the Andhra audience. The news is that Surya, whose Ghajini did so well in Andhra, has been roped in to do an ad for Pepsi. There is a contest riding on the ad. The contest will be run as Pepsi Thragandi Hero Avvandi. This is a contest similar to the one that Pepsi run in Tamil for Surya's film Aaru, which was also released in Telugu. The winner of the contest will be given a chance to act in Surya's film Rangam Sidhamayindh. Gautham Menon produces and directs it. In a sense, it is a major gamble by Pepsi as the rival Thumps Up has Chiranjeevi endorsing it. Surya taking on Chiru in Andhra is interesting as it was Chiru who was one of the main reasons responsible for dubbing Ghajini in Telugu. The same Murugadoss, who directed Surya in Ghajini, is handling Chiru's Stalin. It is all interesting.
Surya and Ram Gopal Varma join hands for a Tri-lingual film
Ace director and producer Ram Gopal Varma is contemplating to produce a film in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi with Surya as hero.

The film will first be produced in Tamil and later on, the film will be dubbed in Telugu and Hindi. Gautham Menon is the director of the film. In the past, the combination of Surya and Gautham had worked wonders at the box-office for the film 'Khakka Khakka'. The film was remade in Telugu as 'Gharshana' with Venkatesh as the hero and Gautham directed the film's Telugu version too. Actress Jyothika is the executive producer of the film.

The marriage will be held at an undisclosed location. A reception is proposed to be held on September 12, Tuesday at the Mayor Sri Ramanathan Chettiyar Centre, Chennai.

Surya-Asin starrer by Vijayadasami
