Aarya director sings paeans for Prakash Raj
Producer-Director Manojkumar, whose production venture Aarya is running to good response, has heaped laurels on Prakashraj. He would soon direct Prakashraj for a movie titled Fusekattai Ramasamy in which Prakashraj would act in the lead. Manoj says Prakashraj is a gifted actor in filmdom. "Many ask why I am opting for Prakashraj in most of my films such as Guruparvai, Vanavil, Aarya and Fusekattai Ramasamy. The reason is very simple that I feel very much comfortable to work with such a nice actor who give a complete shape to the role with his performance", says Manoj. On Fusekattai Ramasamy, the director says, "Prakashraj will play the role of a retired electricity board lineman in the film. Each and every youngster who is going to watch the movie will surely feel for their fathers. Such is going to be the performance of Prakashraj in Fusekattai Ramasamy".
Aarya 's ‘Madharasapattinam’ from April 14
The first day of the Tamil month Chithirai would see the release of ‘Madharasapattinam’, the Arya starrer, which is set in pre-independence era. Directed by Vijay of ‘Poi Solla Porom’ fame, the film is produced by Kalpathi S Agoram of AGS Entertainers. According to circles close to the production house, a major part of the film is completed and post production works are currently on in full swing. “If everything goes as planned, the movie would no doubt hit the screens on April 14,” they say. “It is a lively entertainer. Director Vijay and his team took immense pains to recreate the old Madras. The film would certainly shift the audience to the pre-independence era. It is going to be a totally different treatment,” says Arya. Says director Vijay, “Madharasapattinam is a straight contrast to my earlier two films - Kireedam and Poi Solla Porom. We are bringing back the old Chennai on screen. You will see boats making their way in Buckingham Canal and a Mount Road full of greenery.” The rest of the cast includes Nasser, V M C Haneefa (who passed away recently), Bala Singh and M S Baskar. Cinematography is by Nirav Shah while G V Prakash has scored the music.
Arya all fire
Arya is the darling of producers in Kollywood now. After a good showing Arindhum Ariyamalum and the latest Pattiyal, Arya has his hands full. No he is shooting for Auto. The other heartening news is in Arya pairing with Pooja in Auto. The movie is being directed by debutant Pushkar. A P J Film Gardens, the producers of Nee Venumda Chellam,are churning out Auto. All fire was Arya in a fight sequence canned recently. He was on a bashing spree, on getting to know that his auto had been driven away by a bunch. On a chasing spree, he succeeded in getting back his auto but only after his trademark slam-bang ways. Arya hopes that Auto would certainly help him continuing his good run in Kollywood.
Arya with Saran
Following Auto, Arya's next project will be for director Saran. Titled Vattaram, it would be an action-packed entertainer. Post Pattiyal, Arya has won the tag of action hero. His role as a dreaded gangster won the admiration of many. It may be recalled that Saran's last Idhaya Thirudan failed miserably at the box office. With Arya around, Saran is all determined to make Vattaram click. Meanwhile, the buzz is that Arya may get to do the movie Naan Kadavul, that originally had Ajith in the lead. Later when Ajith dropped out, Surya was speculated to take over. Now Arya is being spoken about for the role. Watch this space for more.
Arya's trouble
No, this one is not about the hero Arya. This is about the film Arya. Madhavan's much publicized Arya is still a non-starter. The movie to be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu is being directed by Love Today fame Balasekaran and produced by Manoj Kumar. After tasting success in Thambi, Madhavan was keen to begin Arya. However only a few portions were shot. Rumors of bringing in another hero into the project are also doing the rounds. Madhavan is reportedly angry at his dates being wasted by the production house and has started to shoot for Manirathinam's Hindi venture Guru. He says that the producer and the director should be approached to know the reasons for the delay. Meanwhile it is also said that Prakash Raj, who is also a part of this film, is the cause for the delay, as he is demanding a higher salary. The exact reasons are not known. Let's hope the shooting commence at the earliest.
