Recently, a special preview Sakkarakatti was screened exclusively for director-actor K. Bhagyaraj. Sakkarakatti stars Bhagyaraj’s son Shanthnoo with Ishita and Vedhika in the lead roles.

Music for the film is by maestro A.R. Rahman, who is said to have come out with some scintillating numbers. The film is directed by Kala Prabhu, son of producer Kalaipuli S. Dhanu.

It is said that Bhagyaraj was mighty impressed by the young director’s prowess after watching the film. Bhagyaraj, considered one of the best scriptwriters of our time, has praised Kala Prabhu for his interesting script. While he had gone to the screening to watch his son’s performance, the actor said that he had finally ended watching a marvellous film by a fine young director.

The audio of Sakkarakatti is expected to release in the coming days. The film is set for a summer release.

Aishwarya Rai in the top place

Usually popularity of actors will slide down after marriage.

That is truth till date in Indian cinema. But Aishwarya Rai is an exception. Even after marriage, Aishwarya Rai has reached the first place getting the highest price.

The stars of Hindi films command sky-high prices, as Hindi films are in demand worldwide. After 'Om Shanti Om' Sha Rukh Khan is demanding Rs.30 crore. Akshaya Kumar's price is Rs.25 crore and Rs.20 crore for Salman Khan.Compared to them, Aishwarya Rai price is lesser. Her price is Rs.4 crore for a film. But what she is getting for 'Robot' is the highest ever. After only Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapur is demanding from Rs.2.5 to 3 crore. It is a national record for an actor to get the highest price even after marriage.

Lawrence in the re-make of Rajini film

The trend of re-making old films continues.

Especially so with Rajini films. A dozen films are waiting to be re-made after 'Billa'. Kadiresan has already got the rights to re-make Rajini's 'Moonru mugam'.

'Pattiyal' fame Sekar has the right to re-make Kamal's 'Kalyanaraman and Lawrence was supposed to do Kamal's role. Due to the intervention of 'Alibaba' project, 'Kalyanaraman' is temporarily suspended.Lawrence who is doing 'Pandi' has, however, not given up his keenness to act in re-make films. After 'Pandi', Lawrence will be acting in Rajini's 'Thambikku endha ooru? Lawrence himself will be revising the story to suit present day trends.

The director of the film is yet to be decided!

Kuselan – flash update!

Produced by Balachander for his Kavithalaya Productions and directed by P. Vasu, Kuselan’s background music is scored by G.V. Prakash. Rajini’s role for Kuselan will be extensive as opposed to the cameo Mammootty appeared for Katha Parayumbol.
