Rumores
Selvaraghavan’s family life
These sort of rumors are not very kind to the people against whom they are targeted. It is never easy to face questions regarding one’s marriage. One can only guess that Selvaraghavan’s busy shooting schedules have kept his family life a bit low profile which has led to some rumors. But he has cleared them all, saying that all is well back home.

Upbeat Prabhu Deva confident on 'Villu'
Prabhu Deva is directing Vijay for the film 'Villu' and the dance master-turned actor-turned director is more than confident about the movie's prospects at the box office. When asked if 'Villu' will be as successful as 'Pokiri', the director said he hopes it will be three times more vibrant than 'Pokiri'.
When asked about big names such as Vadivelu and Nayantara in the film, Prabhu Deva said, 'When Vijay was confirmed for the project, one of my assistants literally begged me to cast Nayantara in the film. His desire seems to be working wonderfully well and the film is shaping up very well'.
'The film would start off in a pleasant way in a picturesque habitat and jovial manner with family, friends and lorry loads of fun. A gory incident takes place and the action begins. Vijay would be awesome in these scenes. Songs and fights have come out impressively and I am very happy with things'.
Talking about Nayantara in the film, Prabhu Deva gives a sneak peek of her introduction scene. 'When you are running for cover after it starts raining and then you find a beautiful girl with an umbrella standing in the rain inviting you the share the umbrella with her, how would you feel?' asks the director.
Well, Nayantara might just have to dance in the rain once again after 'Kuselan'.
When asked about Prabhu Deva's Hindi remake of 'Pokiri' featuring Salman Khan, the expert dancer turned director says, 'it has been about seven years since Salman had acted in an action packed film. He has performed extremely well and the movie is sure to be exciting'.
It is interesting to note that Prabhu Deva is directing Vijay for 'Villu' while his elder brother Raju Sundaram is directing Ajith in 'Aegan'.
So who are the real competitors? Vijay and Ajith or Prabhu Deva and Raju Sundaram? We'll know soon.
Ash to meet Rajini in US?
Rajinikanth, a few days ago, disclosed that he would be flying down to the US to take part in Robot's shooting. But the superstar said that he was not aware if Aishwarya Rai would be available for shooting. Meanwhile, rumors are abuzz in Kollywood that the former Miss World, who is on a world tour and currently camping in the US, will be a part of the filming process. Will director Shankar put an end to this guessing game and spell out if Ash would be involved in Robot's shooting in the US?
Some facts about Marmayogi
After the success of his Dasavathaaram, Kamal Haasan has already started work on his next project titled Marmayogi, which is set against the backdrop of the seventh century BC. The latest news is this movie will have a whopping budget of Rs. 150 crores!
A cutting-edge digital camera – RED ONE Digital Cinema, which can shoot Ultra High Definition 4K images that have five times the resolution of all previous HD cameras – would be used for shooting Marmayogi. Since the camera's daily rent is around Rs. 30,000, the producer plans to purchase a new camera instead of taking it on hire.
Kamal is planning to use the footage from his dream project Maruthanayagam that was started way back; about thirty minutes of the film was canned at a cost running into crores and then, the project went into hibernation. Now Kamal wants to ensure that at least some amount spent for Maruthanayagam can be used for Marmayogi.
Sources say that Hema Malini, who played a brief role in Kamal's Hey Raam, has been roped in to play a negative role in Marmayogi. If this news is true, it will be her first negative role in an illustrious career spanning over three decades.

Ajith to play dual roles in remake of 'Race'
Ashok Amritraj, is not only a successful Hollywood producer but has also made his presence felt in the Tamil film industry with 'Jeans'. He is currently interested in remaking the Hindi film 'Race' with Ajith Kumar in the lead.
The Hindi original had two brothers played by Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna double-crossing each other which eventually leads to their downfall. Ajith was so impressed with the storyline that he immediately gave the approval to cast him. Not only that, he also evinced interest to perform both the roles.
It can be recalled that Ajith played the roles of brothers in 'Valee' which went on to be the start of the dynamic career that he is having. The other film that he did dual roles (again brothers) was in 'Villain' directed by K. S. Ravikumar. Ajith bagged awards for both 'Valee' directed by S. J. Suryah and 'Villain'.
Is the Tamil remake of 'Race', which is about racing (another passion of Ajith), going to get him similar kind of accolades? Let's wait and see.
The film will commence once Ajith's 'Aegan' is released.

Dhaam Dhoom paves way for Sathyam
Late director Jeeva’s Dhaam Dhoom is ready to hit the screens soon. In fact, Kollywood was abuzz with news that it would see the light of the day on August 15th. But sources now say that the release has been postponed for a couple of weeks. When probed into the reason behind this, we found that Vishal’s Sathyam is touted to be released on August 15th and the Dhaam Dhoom team does not want their film sharing the same platform with it. Those who have seen the film already say that Dhaam Dhoom has come out very well. Even the film’s trailer bears testimony to this fact. It may be recalled that Jeeva succumbed to a massive heart attack while shooting Dhaam Dhoom in Russia. The film was later completed by his wife Aneez, associate Manikandan and guru P.C. Sreeram.
