    Off to Bengaluru from Mumbai. Good shoot and dinner with Salman for Dabaang. His vulnerability is his strength. Love his honesty.

  • Editor Anthony

    Happy for Lingusamy as a producer a hit as a director a hit!

  • Oviya

    I am playing a girl called Maya in the film 'Kalakalappu'. I am looking forward to the release, as it is a mass entertainer. Hope the film rocks!

  • Yuvan Shankar Raja

    I think in the future I should say thanks to all the people who like the songs and sorry to the people who I've let down. I'm trying to reinvent myself in most of my work, so obviously there will be difference of opinion and I gladly accept that

  • Prabhu Solomon

    I have finished the shoot and the post production is going on full swing for Kumki starring Vikram Prabhu and Lakshmi Menon.

  • Shiva

    Among the directors I've worked with, I've been most comfortable with Venkat Prabhu as he gave me the freedom to add my own inputs. I have been as comfortable working with Sundar sir as well because he encouraged improvisation. Also, he really enjoys watching his actors perform.

  • Thiru

    Can't stop listening to 'Iddhayam' song from Billa 2. Yuvan in his peak,awesome composition. Simply brilliant!!

Kalakalappu Advance Booking from Tomorrow

Kalakalappu Advance Booking from Tomorrow

The advance ticket booking for Kalakalappu @ Masala Cafe directed by Sundar C opens from tomorrow. The film is a comedy caper from Sundar C starring Shiva, Vimal, Santhanam, Anjali and Oviya in lead roles. The film rides on comedy and Santhanam happens to be the biggest asset for the film.

Santhanam plays a role equal to that of a hero and his recent film 'Oru Kal Oru Kannadi' proves the point. Producers are keen in casting Santhanam in the movie whether the story demands or not. Kalakalappu promises to keep the audience in splits throughout the film. The film has been sold out in all areas and turned out to be a good profit for the producers. The film will hit the screens on May 11 and the promotions are happening in full swing.
