Shruti Haasan was at it again, and this time she rocked the crowd with an uptempo
set.



Crooning the most popular songs from the 70s and 80s, the first song was dedicated to the most special person in her life, Mr K (Yes, that’s what she calls him).

And yes, Mr K brought the full family along to see his daughter sing. Shruti’s Telugu co-star Siddharth was also there to support her and was seen head banging to the music. Soundarya Rajinikanth came in looking radiant in an ivory top and it was great to see the camaraderie between Shruti and her. Also making a fashionably late appearance was Shriya Saran, who looked glam in an ice blue sari. The night ended with a heartfelt rendition of Stand By Me.

Sameera Reddy who shot to fame right on her debut with ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’ is arriving in Chennai shortly by this weekend for her ‘ASAL’. The actress who hasn’t met Ajith Kumar more than a time (she met him while signing agreement for this flick) speaks a lot about him. She says, “Ajith is a cool person to move along with. He’s so chilled and for a great surprise he can speak fluently in Hindi and that would help me a lot while filming for ASAL...”

Speaking about her psychological thriller with Gowtham Menon, she adds “I have no idea about what the complete script is? But I have a great confidence on Gowtham with his brilliant scripting...

So, Ajith’s ASAL is an Action-Thriller while Gowtham Menon’s one is a psychological thriller.

I play a super hero in the film 'Kandasamy'. The film delivers a wonderful message and is delivered beautifully, stylishly, extravagantly and musically with wonderful stunts and this is the biggest film that I’ve done till date. The concept is very interesting and is unlike the seriousness associated with a message-oriented film.

It’s an interesting role, all the girls will like my character, and all the boys will like Shriya’s character. The film’s a total family entertainer. The kids are gonna love the super hero character. Coming to the songs, they are totally different unlike the routine Item number or remix number or a romance duet. The songs are in a different category and are very peppy.

Remember the “Kangal Irandaal” girl, Swathi, who played her role to perfection in the blockbuster Subramaniapuram? It looks like the lass, who definitely is in no hurry to sign roles, will finally do a Tamil film, almost a year after ‘Subramaniapuram’ happened.

Swathi, who was a TV anchor turned actress in Telugu, struck gold in Kollywood through her very first film, ‘Subramaniapuram’, playing the demure school going Thulasi. Following this, the actress was tad disappointed at having received only such village-girl roles in Tamil cinema, and so, had decided to not do any uninspiring project here, and concentrated on her career in Tollywood.

But it now looks like she has received an interesting project in Tamil. And surprise, she will be paired yet again with her ‘Subramaniapuram’ co-star, Jai.

The film will be produced by Amma Creations and will be directed by debutant Sripathi.

The film is likely to start shoot very soon, and Swathi is said to be delighted at receiving such an interesting role. Patience pays for sure!

The chocolate boy of Kollywood 'Jeyam' Ravi is all set to tie his wedding knots this week. The actor will marry Aarthi, daughter of Tele-Serial producers Vijayakumar and Sujatha on June 4th in the city. Aarthi, a graduate from Stella Maris, Chennai has finished her Management studies in Scotland.



The dramatic love affair created quite a bit of buzz a few months ago when news of 'Jeyam' Ravi attempting a suicide doing the rounds. However, all ended well with the parents showing a green signal and now the marriage is at the Park Sheraton Hotel in Chennai with the reception on June 7th at the Mayor Ramanathan Mandapam in Santhome, Chennai.

Speaking on his marriage, Jeyam Ravi expressed happiness and joy on marrying his sweetheart. Their plans of a honeymoon in Australia has changed now owing to the racial issues going on there and the couple will fly to a different destination, which is yet to be decided.

Sneha is perhaps the smartest among the new generation actresses.
She seems to know how to make hay while the sun shines! Keeping this in mind, the actress is doing all genres of movies. Just take a look at the mix of movies she is doing — an experimental Achchamundu Achchamundu and a mass masala Murattu Kaalai. She’s also doing Nootrukku Nooru. Also on the cards is a glam role in Goa and an action-packed character in Bhavani (where she plays a cop). The latest we hear about Bhavani is that she has done her action scenes without using a dupe! The film, which is directed by G Kicha, is a remake of Vijayshanthi’s yesteryear superhit Vyjayanthi IPS. We hear that the highlight of the film will be the punch dialogues of Sneha, apart from her deadly action scenes! To top it, the actress is doing a cameo as herself in Angadi Theru. Way to go, girl!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan remains one of the most sought-after actresses in India. She made her cine debut in Kollywood, but found bigger success in Bollywood. However, the actress has not totally bid adieu to Tamil cinema;t she has two big banner Tamil movies in her kitty, and her Kollywood fans can't wait to catch them both! She has Rajinikanth starrer Enthiran directed by Shankar and Mani Ratnam's modern day Ramayanam, titled Ravanan, which is simultaneously being made in Hindi and Tamil. The common factor to both movies is the music director Oscar winner A.R. Rahman. But the lesser known factor is the lady behind Ash Rai's flawless Tamil! Though Ash insists she has grown comfortable with the language, she is yet to become proficient enough to dub for herself. Hence outside help is still required, and the person chosen for the job in both movies is Aishwarya Dhanush, Rajinikanth's daughter!
