Who is Nandha?

Anyone remember the actor Nandha? He made his debut in “Mounam Pesiyadhe” as Suriya’s friend. The actor has been acting in films for a couple of years, but it was only after his role in “Eeram” that his acting skills were praised. It was the first time the actor played with negative shades.

After Eeram, the actor has been flooded with offers, but he is choosing his scripts with care. The actor is involved in a few projects such as “Vellore Mavattam” where he plays a cop, “Jayakumaranin Thiraikathai” and “Puzhuthi.”

His next screen release will be “Vandhan Vendran” where he plays the bad guy opposite Jiiva.Great going Nandha!

Vijay is Yohan

It’s official! Director Gautham Vasudev Menon and "Ilayathalapthy" Vijay have come together for “Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru”.

Both have been looking to work together for many years but due to each other’s busy schedules, it never moulded. Posters have already been released with Vijay looking slick on missions around the globe. Mission 1: New York, Mission 2: Paris through to Mission 36: Brazil.

Not much has been revealed about the movie but it may be safe to assume it’s an action thriller with our hero playing either a spy or a cop. Music will be scored by Oscar-Grammy winner A.R.Rahman who has already scored music for Vijay’s films such as “Udhaya” and “Azhagiya Thamil Magan.”

Expectations are high, but the only down-side is that we have to wait for more than a year for the release.

Vettai Mannan Teaser

STR’s upcoming film “Vettai Mannan” is shaping up well, and a teaser trailer has been released. The film is directed by debut director Nelson and features Jai & Deeksha Seth in lead roles. The tunes are set by Simbu’s close friend Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The story is set around a journey through the underworld, where the hero kills for money. If the trailer is anything to go by, STR has carried off his shady gangster look very well.

Mrs. Director Dhanush

Rajni Kanth’s daughter Aishwarya Dhanush will debut as a director after working as an assistant to her brother-in-law Selvaraghavan. It is believed that the script is ready and the hero will be her husband itself – National Award-winner Dhanush.

Initially, Shruti Haasan was asked to play the heroine but the actress could not accept the offer due to clash of dates. Now it seems that Amala Paul might be roped in for this project. Amala has made a great opening in Kollywood with “Myna” and “Deiva Thirumagal” as her first two releases. Keep logged onto Kollyburst for more news!

Superhero Jiiva

“Mugamoodi” is Jiiva’s next film, where he will be playing a superhero. This action film will be directed by Mysskin and will also have Narain playing the villain. The heroine is yet to be finalised.

The film will show how there’s a superhero dormant in everyone, and how destiny pushes an easy-going man into a dangerous world to save his love and society. Not many Tamil superhero films have been successful…..let’s hope this one will make a change.
