Surya’s “Ayyan” is set for a world premiere Friday. The actor says it is the first Tamil movie whose posters are being displayed at a metro station in New Jersey.
“Usually the posters of the world’s top films are displayed at the metro station in New Jersey. This is for the first time that a Tamil film has achieved this honour. I’m excited about its release because I have once again tried to be different in ‘Ayyan’,” Surya told IANS.
Directed by K.V. Anandan, the movie has Thamanna in the female lead and is produced by AVM. It is releasing April 3 in India and abroad.
“Exotic locales never seen before on the Tamil screen have been canned in the movie. Working with Anand was a revelation - he used to have shots ready in a jiffy in difficult places where lighting and camera placements were difficult,” said Surya.
“My association with AVM has already been successful through an earlier release ‘Perazhagan’. This time, the audience will be pleasantly surprised as I play a simple but touching role of a young man,” the actor added.
Surya’s earlier release “Vaaranam Aayiram” was critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

Malaiyur Mambattiyan
here was a time when actor Prashanth was amongt the top three heroes in Tamil cinema, the other two being Ajith and Vijay. Today, as Ultimate Star Ajith and Ilayathalapathy Vijay are raking in the moolah and basking in glory, Top Star Prashanth is on the sidelines. How could he let his soaring career spiral down? But we have to appreciate that he keeps trying to get back into the race for the top spot with action flicks from time to time.
His next movie is Malaiyur Mambattiyan, remake yesteryear hit with the same title and with Prashanth’s father Thiyagarajan in the lead. The movie was a smash hit, and Thiyagarajan hopes to remake the success! “We have used the best technology available to shoot the action scenes and they have come out remarkably. Some of the best scenes include one in which Prashanth jumps from one mountain to another and running over a falling bridge. An amazing police chase has also been included. We have used a lot of special effects in the film,” he said.

Viththagan
After ‘Pachai Kudhirai’, Parthiban is back as what he is best: direction! The project that he will embark on soon, has been titled ‘Viththagan’ and will be produced by Manickam Narayanan, Seventh Channel.
“The film will be of a different genre, as an action film,” says the director, who will also play the lead in the film. The heroine character has been finally finalized, with Poorna, the ‘Muniyaandi Vilangiyal Moondramaandu’ heroine, bagging it.
Joshua Sridhar will compose the music for this film, for which MS Prabhu will crank the camera.
The actor has most recently completed shooting for ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ in which he plays a king. With that film ready for release in a few months, pre production work is on full swing for ‘Viththagan’.

Pasanga
The creator of Subramaniapuram M Sasi Kumar has plunged into production, under the banner Company Productions for his new venture ‘Pasanga’. Pandiraj is director Cheran’s assistant and he will look into story, screenplay, and dialogues and - not to forget direction.
As the name goes the movie is all about children. Sasikumar known for his different style of approach has shown it even in his audio release invitation. His invitation holds poetic verses of prominent writers like Abdul Rahman and Pulamai Pithan.
The audio release function will be held at Satyam cinemas on 25th March 2009 at 9 am. The function will start under the auspicious presence of Rama Narayanan, President Tamil Film Producers Council. The audio CD will be released by Chevalier Dr Balamurali Krishna and will be received by Padmashree Dr Kamal Haasan. The trailer of the film will be released by Kamal Haasan and will be accepted by Director Ameer.
Earlier director Seeman was supposed to accept the trailer but since the director is in prison for his provocative remarks regarding the Sri Lankan issue, the change in the invite has taken place.
What Trisha could not, Anushka does
Films dubbed from Telugu to Tamil have been doing well in the past, but during the last decade or so, no Telugu movie, in its dubbed version, could rake up the collections at the box office. Even Telugu films in which Trisha stars were failures; for example, Nandu and Kumaran, both dubbed Tamil versions.
The glory of the past has now returned with Arundhathee. The film, which has Anushka in the title role, has been released in all the big screens across Tamil Nadu and the industry sources say that it is garnering the collections like the good old days. Arundhathee, incidentally, is a supernatural thriller set in the rural background.
All actors back the producers
With the Producers’ Body in Bollywood deciding stop the release of new films in multiplexes from April 3 onwards, the actors have also pledged their allegiance to the producers. Top stars like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and the likes have sent a letter to the producers’ body that they will support them and not the multiplex owners in this issue.
It is worth mentioning here that it is not a surprise considering the fact that most of the actors have their own production houses. The rift between the producers and the multiplex owners is stemmed from the profit sharing issues.
