Ready 4 directors directors cut : Varanam ayiram

Vaaranam Aayiram has hit the screens finally, and the talk among fans and viewers is that it is too long. While the audience enjoyed the song and several moments in the film, they seem to find it a bit more of an emotional drama extending for more than 150 minutes. It's just a few screenings old and now the VA team has cut 15 minutes of the film. One sequence that is trimmed in the new version is Suriya searching for a child in Delhi.

However, it is important to note that though Gautham Menon allowed the producer to cut the film, he still feels it takes away the intensity and the feel from the film. He wishes that the audience could see it as he conceived it. Perhaps if the movie becomes a big hit, it's just possible that the cut fifteen minutes will be restored. Or say, years later, Menon could release it as Vaaranam Aayiram: The Director's Cut.

Jothika joins surya for his next film finally

It is well known that Sivakumar and family have adopted two schools, of which one is in Kancheepuram, under the education trust created by the family. This trust is also engaged in promoting several educational activities. And when the Education Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thangam Thennarasu, put forth a suggestion to the actor to produce a documentary film to encourage school children go to school, the actor was only too willing to do it.

Moreover, the actor’s son, a popular film star in his own right – Surya – along with other well-known actors Vijay and Madhavan have been signed up for the film. Earlier, director K.V. Anand was reported to wield the megaphone but now the mantle has shifted to V. Priya. However, Anand has been retained as the cinematographer.Another important person to join this galaxy of stars is Jyothika. It is worth mentioning here that this star couple – Surya and Jyothika – had earlier acted in a documentary on autism.

1.5 for varanam ayiram

Surya-starrer Varanam Aayiram's shooting was progressing at the Gateway of India, Mumbai, when the most startling accident occurred. It was precisely during a song sequence that involved Surya and Sameera Reddy.

According to reliable sources, the song was filmed by an assistant cameraman with a high-tech camera, costing about Rs. 1.5 crore, fastened to his hip. While the assistant was moving behind the actors canning the shots, he tripped unexpectedly and in the tumult the camera broke to pieces. It is also said that the assistant suffered severe head injuries and was admitted to a hospital. However, everything ended well with shooting resuming a day later with a similar type of camera.

surya and tamana pairs up for ayan

Ayan is the forthcoming film from A V M after the blockbuster Sivaji. This film will have Surya and Tamanna as the lead cast and will be directed by cinematographer turned director K V Anand whose earlier directorial venture Kana Kandein was much appreciated. Prithviraj who is making waves in Kollywood was introduced by Anand in Kana Kandein as the smart suave villain. Prithvi’s role defied the traditional image of villains in Tamil cinema but at the same time was successful enough in earning the wrath of the viewers. Kana Kandein was talked about for Anand’s distinct style in screen play and presentation.

Following his earlier path, Anand has plans to introduce a popular face as villain in Ayan and the unit is working doubly hard to find such a face. Anand says, “Apart from the main characters, Ayan also will be talked about for its villain. My film will satisfy the entertainment quotient but at the same time will lie well within the logical boundary”. Prabhu will be doing a pivotal role while Karunas and Jagan will be in charge of comedy track. Tamanna is slated to don a glamorous garb totally in contrast with her Kalloori image

Surya to suceed the boss

What would Surya’s film be after Varanam Aayiram? Well, he has signed the dotted lines to star in Ayan, to be produced by AVM Productions. The customary pooja was performed at the AVM office this morning (24-03-08) to launch the film. K.V. Anand will don the director’s cap while Tamanna will share screen space with Surya AVM Productions had called for press meet at 11:30 am and surprisingly both Surya and AVM Saravanan were present at the venue at 11:25 am. Veteran director S. P Muthuraman hosted the show. AVM Saravanan delivered the welcome address.

Addressing the media, Surya said that he is happy to star in the very next film by AVM Productions, after Sivaji’s astounding success. It is to be noted that Ayan would be Surya’s second film for AVM after the smash hit Perazhgan that won him acting accolades.

Varanam ayiram :Sameera

She has been evading Tamil cinema or so it seemed, but Sameera is all Gung ho about the industry and Gautham Menon in particular. “I knew Gautham Menon even before Vaaranam Aayiram happened,” she started off answering for a question as to how it feels working for one of the best directors of Tamil cinema. “I was to be a part of Kakka Kakka, however, I could not make it due to lack of dates,” she mentioned through her dazzling smile.

She also spilled tit bits about the story and declared that Vaaranam Aayiram is not the usual girl meets boy love story. “You would have seen people fall in love when they first meet in the college, but, I fall in love with Surya only at the farewell day,” she chimed. Well, that’s something innovative. Sameera stated that she enjoyed every moment of being part of the movie since it’s a cute love story.

Will her role in Vaaranam Aayiram have shades of her bombshell tag that she acquired with hard work in Hindi and Telugu movies? Only Gautham Menon has the answer for now.

Is ajith my role model :surya

Following Tamil Nadu government’s concession on entertainment taxes for films with Tamil titles, viewers have been bombarded with Tamil titles of diverse nature. There is an encouraging trend of intense research before finalizing the title and it’s Tamilness in the industry. Recently Ajith’s film under Raju Sundaram’s direction was named Aegan drawing inspiration from Siva Puranam which means the one and only one.

Taking this cue, A V M films who will be producing Surya’s next film has named their project Ayan. Research on this name indicates that Ayan means Brahma who is the creator and one who stands out distinctly. The famous deity of Sucheendram temple is Thanumaalayan where Thanu stands for Siva, Maal for Perumal or Vishnu and Ayan for Brahma. A further exhaustive study of the word Ayan divulges different shades of the name and its meaning. In the documents registration parlance an Ayan document means that it is a perfect one with no encumbrance. From an astrological point of view, when a horoscope is Ayan, it suggests that it is an immaculate one.

Ayan has Tamanna lending the female support for Surya while Harris Jeyaraj will be scoring music. M S Prabhu will be responsible for cranking the camera while K V Anand of Kana Kandein fame is set to direct Ayan. Good luck team

Surya thinks different

While many actors believe that churning one film after the other will keep them aloft the rest in the industry, Surya thinks otherwise. Presently busy with Gautham Menon’s Vaaranam Aayiram, Surya said that he is focused on acting in quality cinema; therefore, quantity doesn’t matter.
Speaking about VA, he said that it about a military officer. And as like his previous venture, Kaakka Kaakka he seems to have done his homework well, as Surya has put on weight for that army look.After VA, Surya has two other ventures on hand, one each for K.V. Anand and Murugadoss. The main criteria that this actor is looking for in his films are: good story and scope to perform.

Muruga doss new story

News about the rift between director Murugadoss and Gajini’s producer Chandrasekar made it to the headlines some time ago. It is said that Murugadoss promised the producer that he would direct another film for him as Gajini’s budget far exceeded its limit. But he was unable to stick to his word and as a result the rift between the two widened. To make matters worse, the producer

alleged that Murugadoss threatened him with dire consequences. He also lodged a complaint at the police station. And promptly the director filed a petition in the Madras High Court that the allegations made in the police complaint was false. When this issue came up for hearing, Justice Jayapal passed an interim stay on police investigation. Let’s hope this issue is resolved soon.

Simran pairs back surya by gautham menon

Simran who was the first heroine of Surya in Nerukku Ner will once again be paired with him in the upcoming Gautham Menon’s Vaaranam Aayiram. This film will feature Surya in four getups and major part of the shooting has been completed. After wrapping up shooting in America and Afghanistan, the crew is in Chennai now.

As per the script, Gautham required a former heroine for Surya who will be donning the role of an older getup. Director had approached Simran who was in the midst of her Jaya TV shooting. It is said that Simran was happy with the script and has immediately agreed. Portions of Simran with Surya have been canned swiftly and insiders revealed that the sequences have shaped up well.
