Surya-Jyothika back on screen with a remake

Surya-Jyothika was the sensational pairs, not just on the screen, but in real life too. Both of them are leading a happy life with a cute baby girl. The films they had paired up together were good hits and their last venture on screen was 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal'. Now, buzzes are that they would be pairing up together for a film that happens to be the remake. Sources close to them have revealed that it would be a Hindi film 'Sunday' that had Ajay Devagan, Aayisha Taakia, Arshad Warsi and Irfan Khan in lead roles.

It is a mystery-thriller where a female dubbing artist misses a Sunday in her life and on the particular day many things seems to have happened around her. On that Sunday, many mysterious characters would have entered into her life, lots of fun, frolic and for the greater shock, a murder. This they call in Hollywood as 'Black Comedy'.

If Surya-Jyothika plays the lead roles, Prakash Raj has been offered to take on the role of Irfan Khan, a struggling actor and Santhanam as Arshad Warsi, a car driver. Nothing has been confirmed till the date and let's waits and see.

Vaaranam Aayiram Music Review

It is said that when Gautham Menon and Harris Jayaraj get together, they make musical magic. With Vaaranam Aayiram, which has taken nearly 2 years in the making and is even today awaited with bated breath, the duo keeps their promise of giving the music lover a range of eminently listen-able songs. From mellifluous ballads to peppy urban beats to quirky folk rhythms, Vaarnam Aayiram is for keeps. And so the chords go…

1. 'Hi Malini' Singers: BG: This one reminds you of George Michael's cult song "Keep The Faith"… and yet, different. It's a peppy, young romantic number with a little infectious rattle here and some jazz-like pieces there. It will take you back to the time YOU were in college, full of life and love.

2. 'Yethi Yethi' Singers: BG: Morcoccan meets Carnatic classical meets young energy – that's Yethi Yethi in a nutshell. This song is bursting with exuberance and some naughty cockiness.

3. 'Oh Shanti' Singers: BG: Undoubtedly one of the finest songs in this soundtrack, Oh Shanti is a blend of a soft ballad, gentle guitars and captivating lyrics. Be prepared to close your eyes and simply lean into the mesmerising voice of Hariharan as he carries you along the flow of this song.

4. 'Oh Shanti '(Mix) Singers: BG: … And if you're done leaning, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee with the bright and energetic mix of the same song. Definitely bridging the culture gap, this song brings together almost-rock beats, evocative yet simple lyrics and fusion instruments and the result is… BOOM!

5. 'Adiye Kolluthey' Singers: BG: It's hot, it's rock-meets-Tamil, it's young, infectious and a seamless confluence of melodies that blend with an electric beat guaranteed to get your feet off the ground. Be prepared for a rumbling splash!

6. 'Alai Melai' Singers: BG: It seems almost out of place, this song. It embraces all things ethnic and nothing urban, except for the mild guitar strains in the background. A deeply melancholic song, one needs to develop a taste for it, especially after the previous numbers. Sudha sounds uncannily like Harris' usual favourite Bombay Jayshree, with her brand of husky wistfulness.

7. 'Anjalai' Singers: BG: Another surprise. Completely folksy and yet, Harris' brand of electronica peeks out every now and then. It's sassy, sexy and very tribal – only you won't be able to tell if it's purely southern or also has some other ethnic influences too, in its finger-drumming beat and twanging instruments.

The SONY Touch When Sony BMG announced entered the world of Southern movie and music content acquisition, there were mixed responses – some were scared that this giant would swallow the smaller players up, some welcomed a possible radical shift to a more universal and professional working system and yet others simply thought they were throwing funding money away. But at the end of the day, they proved that they have what it takes to be a global music giant, as they acquired some of the most popular music of this year, including A.R. Rahman's Sakkarakatti, Himmesh Reshammiya's Dasavathaaram and Harris Jayaraj's Vaaranam Aayiram.

You may remember, A.R. Rahman signed his first mega deal with Sony years ago, to produce both film and non-film music albums, to great global success. With the Sony name comes a host of modern and professionalism-driven processes – they believe in the power of technology, blitzing publicity and a pan-Indian presence for all their content, regardless of language barriers. Thus has Sony taken southern music and movies to a higher plane of global reckoning. With their latest, Vaaranam Aayiram, Sony BMG is all set to grow bigger and stronger.

Surya in Ayan fight scenes

A grand set has been constructed for the Surya starrer 'Ayan' at Binny mills in Chennai for the making of a fight sequence. Directed by K.V. Anand, the movie is being produced by AVM productions, a production company that holds the accolade for making movies since a few decades from the past. 

Surya is pitted against Tamanna, the actress who gave a graceful performance in 'Kalloori'. The cargo landing bay in an airport has been envisaged by art director Rajeevan in which a stunt scene was shot for four continuous days. Kanal Kannan choreographed the action in which Surya enacted a cooked up fight against the henchmen of the Villain, played by Bollywood actor Akashdeep Saigal. 

Consequently, the end sequence for 'Ayan' is planned to be shot in South Africa by November. It is proposed to be made in a canyon near to Cape Town. Industry talks say that about one fifth of the estimated budget for this movie is to be spent on filming this grand finale.

Myskin's super hero

While Hollywood has its super heroes like Batman, Spiderman and Superman, strangely Tamil films have no such super heroes. The cost of even stitching a super hero costume is prohibitive.

Since corporate investors are prepared to invest heavily, our young directors have started thinking in terms of a super hero.  Vishal has long wanted to do a super hero role in a film that he wishes to direct himself.

After completing 'nandalala' Myskin plans to direct Surya as a super hero in a film to be produced at a mega budget by UTV. To be titled 'Mugamudi,' the story is one of a super hero.

With his 6 pack abs, Surya already looks like a super hero.The super hero subject would help save costume expenses.
