Suriya plans a trip to Africa?

 

After working hard for months without even taking a small break, Suriya seems to be in a mood to holiday. "It has been a long time sine I had been out with my family members. Every Sunday I would promise to be with Jyothika and kids, but unable to honour it due to professional commitments," he says.

Quiz him on his favourite destination with family, pat comes the reply from the '7aum Arivu' actor. "No doubt it's Africa. I always wanted to take Jo, Diya and Dev there since they like animals a lot. Also, they love to see historical places."

Suriya's interest for Africa was ignited when he was shooting there for KV Anand's 'Ayan' a couple of years ago. "It is a beautiful and quite unassuming place. A safari in the deep jungles of Africa would be a perfect treat for my wife and kids. Hopefully we would go there soon."

On his forthcoming venture 'Maatraan', he says, "It will once again be a commercial movie with a difference from KV Anand. I am so happy to work with him and would love to do so again and again. The shooting is nearing completion and an official announcement on my next will be made soon."

Amala Paul denies allegations

 

There were a couple of allegations against Amala Paul in the recent times. That she walked out of Dhanush '3′ to act in Naga Chaitanya starrer Telugu film 'Bejawada' and she even posed troubles during the shoot of Lingusamy's 'Vettai' due to some problems with her dates.

The 'Mynaa' girl has denied all the charges, saying, "I am not that busy to walk out of projects. And I never confused with dates. You can check this with my producers and directors. I am clear about what I am doing and focusing on only two films at a time."

Then why there was a buzz that she opted out of '3′? "I didn't walk out of the project. And there were no date problems too. I know the exact reason, but I don't want to discuss it now, as the movie is getting ready for the release. Right now I am busy with Vettai and Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal".

Amala Paul, who made her presence felt in 'Mynaa', became a household name with 'Deiva Thirumagal'. "My focus is on doing good films which offer me interesting roles. I treat myself a complete professional and expect others too to do the same," she adds.

Osthi November 24th and Mayakkam Enna on 25th

According to the latest information, Osthi will release on November 24th and Mayakkam Enna on 25th. Initially both the films were expected to clash at the box office but later it was said that they will release on different weekends.

But finally it has turned out that both the films will hit the screens with just a day apart. Though Dhanush and Silambarasan are not in for a head-on clash, their respective fans are excited about the films' response at the box office.

Dhanush has teamed up with his brother Selvaraghavan after a long time and this has created a curiosity over Mayakkam Enna. On the other hand, Osthi is the remake of the Hindi smash hit Dabangg.

Mayakkam Enna goes to December 2and

Selvaraghavan`s Mayakkam Enna starring Dhanush and Richa which was originally planned for 11/11/11 was shifted to 18/11/11 and later postponed to 25/11/11.

Selvaraghavan had tweeted: "Toying with the idea of pushing the release of Mayakkam Enna by a few days so the semester exams can get over". Now the latest we hear is that the film has been pushed to December 2.

Trade sources have confirmed that Gemini who is marketing Mayakkam Enna has started booking theatres from December 2. It means the confrontation that was building up over a possible Dhanush v/s STR (Osthi scheduled to release on Nov 25) clash has been avoided.

Hindi version of VTV release in January

 

Director Gautham Vasudev Menon is all set to release the Hindi version of Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya in January next year. Titled Ek Deewana Tha, the film has Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson playing the lead roles. Prateik and Amy have reprised the roles essayed with aplomb by Simbu and Trisha (respectively) in the original Tamil version.

VTV was a huge success in Tamil and was a significant hit in the careers of both Simbu and Trisha. In fact, the film's success made many producers and directors believe that Simbu can portray any kind of roles on-screen provided the script is good. "I have made several changes in the characterization and characters in the Hindi version. While Simbu was always in an excited mood, Prateik would be a 'soft' character with no signs of tension.

"We have show Prateik and Amy in love and pouring out their emotions for each other. Amy has gone a step further than Trisha did in the original and has given an amazing performance," says Menon about his debut directorial venture in Hindi. Unit sources say that Prateik and Amy's reported off-screen romance helped them bond well on the sets to display on-screen love.

Menon also plans to visit Mumbai and Delhi to watch the film along with the audiences to know their reaction to the film. The film is likely to be released on 13th January next year. Menon is also making the Tamil film Needhanae En Ponvasandham starring Jiiva and Samantha in lead roles.
