Vettai Mannan : JAI Interview

Vettai Mannan

Vettai Mannan is a Simbhu movie and I am playing an important role in it. It’s a story of friends. It’s a gangster movie with an interesting screenplay. This is director Nelson’s first movie, who has earlier directed many shows in television. Simbhu and I have been good friends for about 10 years and we were supposed to do a movie together when I finished Bhagavathy. But then things worked out only now. You can see the chemistry we share onscreen and it would be amazing.

Highlight fight in Vettai Mannan

There is a single shot fight sequence in Vettai Mannan that goes on for several minutes. That was my first day shoot for Vettai Mannan. It’s something of a new attempt in Tamil and it will be talked about after the movie is released.

What is your role in Vettai Mannan?

Both our roles are equally important. I do not have a heroine whereas he has three. I am sort of a girl-hater in the movie. We are planning for a combination song but it’s still being worked on.

If you have to dance with Simbu, how do you plan to manage it?

Since we are close friends, it can be worked upon. If I cannot match his steps, he will tone his steps down to my level. 

What do you like in Simbu?

Simbu knows how to treat his friends and that is why our friendship lasted for 10 years. We talk a lot about cinema.

Is it Ajith and Silambarasan this time?

The buzz that is going on in Kollywood is that Venkat Prabhu may direct Ajith and Silambarasan next. Though the director has said that nothing has been confirmed till now, we are told that the initial talks are going on. Meanwhile, producer Dhayanidhi Alagiri, who had produced Mankatha, has said he is not aware of this project.


When enquired about who the potential producer of this biggie, we heard that Reliance Big Entertainment and producer AM Rathnam are interested in producing the film.


It is worth mentioning here that Silambarasan is an Ajith fan and makes sure that the star’s name features in most of his films at least once.

Dharani made me work like Chitti Robo:STR

Silambarasan is a mad genius, who does many things at the same time.

He is shooting for Osthi, writing script for the film that he is directing, crooning for other heroes and penning lyrics for songs.

Currently, the actor is completing work on Osthi, in Mysore.

He spoke to sify.com: "I can’t believe that Osthi is complete and only two songs are remaining. We shot the film in record number of days and all credit goes to Dharani’s perfect planning and execution. He made me work like Chitti Robo (Laughs) from early mornings to late night.”

STR adds: “ Dharani is clear headed and he is in complete sync with me which brings the best in me. The dubbing for the film has started in Chennai and it will be my Diwali release”

Osthi to combine best of STR and Dharani

Dharani is one flamboyant filmmaker who leaves his imprint on every film he makes even if it is a remake. It is the director's working style to write the screenplay along the quirks and traits of the main character so that the film makes a proper impact. He used this technique in films like Dhil, Dhool, and Gilli and will be doing the same for Osthi, his remake of Dabaang with STR.
STR is a very charismatic star with a magnetic screen presence and Dharani is keen to develop the screenplay along the lines of his onscreen persona. Therefore though Osthi is a remake it has been rewritten to incorporate the best of Dharani and STR and will have the freshness of an original work in addition to fully satisfying the fans of both

Simbu to direct Kettavan!

The actor will also be starring in the film that will have music by Yuvan

He’s finished working with director Gautham Menon and the duo delivered a superhit  in VTV.  Currently,  Simbu  is working  with commercial director  Dharani on  Vosthi,  the   Tamil  remake  of Dabangg. And the latest news is that the  actor  will turn  director next  year,  perhaps  in a  bid  to  ensure  that his  dream  project, Kettavan,  shapes up  the way  he wants it to.

Confirming the news, the actor says, “I’m  starting  it  next  year, for sure. The cast and crew are yet to be finalized  but  just that I want to  kickstart  the  film. ”Many   in   the   industry   say   that Kettavan  is  Simbu’s  dream   project.   Is that true?  “Well,  you could say that,” he says, “It’s been on my mind  for quite  a while now and I’m happy that I’m starting it now. It is not  Manmadhan 2, but it will fall under that style of filmmaking and  will  be  made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.”
The actor feels that this would come across as a different film for audiences among the current crop of films that he has.


 “Everybody keeps asking me about Kettavan, even though they liked VTV and are eager to know about my current projects,” he says, “I couldn’t do  it in the  last few months as I was busy with my other projects but now,  I’ll  seriously  start  work  on it.”  Yuvan Shankar Raja will score music for the film. “The Ennada Nadakuthu…  number that we  composed for this film sometime ago was leaked on the Internet and is  already a hit,”  gushes  Simbu.   While Vosthi is likely to hit screens during Deepavali,  Simbu’s other  projects — Podaa Podi  and  Vettai Mannan will follow after which he’ll start work on his dream project.

வானம் ஸ்டைலில் ஒஸ்தி...!

வானம்" படத்தின் இசை வெளியீட்டு முன்பாக "எவன்டி உன்ன பெத்தான்...." என்ற ஒரு பாடல் மட்டும் ரிலீசானது போல், "ஒஸ்தி"யிலும் ஒரே ஒரு பாடல் மட்டும் ரிலீசாக இருக்கிறது.சமீபகாலமாக வெளிவரும் படங்களை பிரபலப்படுத்த பல்வேறு வகையான உத்திகளை கடைப்பிடித்து வருகின்றனர் திரைத்துறையினர். அந்த வகையில், படத்தின் ஆடியோ ரிலீசுக்கு முன்பாக, அந்த படத்தில் இருந்து ஒரே ஒரு பாடலை மட்டும் ரிலீஸ் செய்வது ஃபேஷன் ஆகி வருகிறது.

இந்த கலாச்சாரத்தை தொடங்கி வைத்தது சிம்பு தான். அவர் நடித்து சமீபத்தில் வெளிவந்து சூப்பர் ஹிட்டான் "வானம்" படத்தில் "எவன்டி உன்ன பெத்தான்...." என்ற ஒரே ஒரு பாடலை மட்டும் ரிலீஸ் செய்தனர். இது ரசிகர்கள் மத்தியில் பெரும் வரவேற்பை பெற்றது. "வானம்" படத்தை தொடர்ந்து அஜீத்தின் "மங்காத்தா" படத்திலும் "விளையாடு மங்காத்தா..." என்ற பாடல் மட்டும் வெளியானது. இதுவும் நல்ல வரவேற்பை பெற்று இருக்கிறது.

இந்நிலையில் சிம்பு தற்போது நடித்து வரும் தபாங் படத்தின் ரீ-மேக்கான, "ஒஸ்தி" படத்தில் இருந்து, ஒரு பாட்டை ரிலீஸ் செய்ய முடிவெடுத்துள்ளனர். இதுகுறித்து படத்தின் இசையமைப்பாளர் தமன் கூறியதாவது,


ஒஸ்தி படத்தில், சிம்பு இரண்டு பாடல்கள் பாடியுள்ளார். இதில் ஒரு பாடல், சிம்பு மட்டும் பாடியிருக்கிறார், மற்றொன்று, ஸ்ரேயா கோஷலுடன் இணைந்து ஒரு பாடல் பாடியிருக்கிறார்..

தற்போது இந்த இரண்டு பாடல்களுக்கும் போஸ்ட் புரடக்ஷன் வேலை நடந்து வருகிறது. இந்தவாரம் அல்லது அடுத்தவாரம் ஒஸ்தி படத்தில் இருந்து ஒரே ஒரு பாடலை மட்டும் ரிலீஸ் செய்ய திட்டமிட்டு இருக்கிறோம். "வானம்" படத்தை போல் "ஒஸ்தி" பட பாட்டும் நிச்சயம் ரசிகர்களை கவரும் என்றார்.

Simbu croons for Vosthi

The actor will be singing two songs in this film that is set to release a single soon

First it was Evandi Unne Petthan… from  Vaanam. Then it was Vilayadu Mankatha… from  Mankatha. Now, it is Vosthi starring Simbu and Richa Gangopadhyay, which will have a single track being  released, well before the official
audio launch of the film. Confirming the news, Thaman, the music director of the film, says, “Yes. We will be releasing the title track of the film shortly — possibly within a week or so. The song is in the postproduction stage.” Simbu, who is known to croon a number in almost all his films, will be singing in Vosthi as well. A source confirms to CT that Simbu will be singing two songs in this movie. “One will be a mass number and the other one will be a duet with Shreya Ghoshal,” the source adds. What remains to be seen however, is if Vosthi will have a Munni badnaam hui… number. “The team,” Thaman informs, “even considered dubbing the same song to Tamil. However,
I refused. I wanted some fresh tunes, something that would suit the Tamil sensibilities. Essentially, we looked at creating a mass appeal.” Ask him if this is the mass song that Simbu is to croon and he remains tightlipped, saying that he wants it to be a surprise.

Simbu's 'Osthi' to see a single track release - IG Exclusive

Single track audio releases seem to have become the fad of the day in Tamil cinema, what with a number of leading films releasing promotional audio tracks before the actual audio DVD hits the stands, thus creating more expectations than ever.

Grapevine has it that STR's forthcoming film, 'Osthi', will join this league and will see a one track audio release! The tunes for 'Osthi' are composed by Thaman and the megaphone for this action-packed entertainer is wielded by Dharani.

It may be mentioned that Simbu's previous film, 'Vaanam', had seen a single song release as well and it was well-received by fans and music lovers. The original film, 'Dabaang' in Hindi, had a smashing item number, 'Munni Badnaam Hui...', and expectations are high to see the remake of this number and fans are eager to know who will reprise this hot song in Simbu's film.

The talkie portion's shoot has been wrapped up and the film features Simbu and Richa Gangopadhyay in lead roles, with Jithan Ramesh, Saranya Mohan, Revathy and Sonu Sood in pivotal roles...

STR in Six Pack

If you are a fan of the latest fad of six pack abs, STR aka Simbu has got something to enthrall you. For the actor will be seen with a toned body in 'Osthi', a remake of Salman Khan's blockbuster 'Dabangg'.

"Since Simbu is doing the role of a police offer in this Dharani directed movie, he has developed six pack abs by working hard in a gym for more than a month. He looks so tough now," say sources in the know.

STR is busy working in three films simultaneously, 'Osthi', 'Podaa Podi' and 'Vettai Mannan'. 
"While Osthi and Vettai Mannan are commercial movies with enough scope for action, Podaa Podi is a breezy love story," add sources.

In the meantime, Simbu is giving 'valuable inputs' to his younger brother Kuralarasan aka KTR, who is set to making his acting debut soon. "STR is the friend, philosopher and guide for KTR," according to circles close to the family.

STR can become like MGR: TR

A couple of days ago, newspaper advertisements marking the 75th day of 'Vaanam', which likened the film�s protagonist STR aka Silambarasan to former Chief Minister and matinee idol MGR, raised many an eyebrow.

The actor's father Vijaya T Rajendar, who claims that he had actually designed the advertisement, says, "There is nothing wrong in yearning to achieve big. I had a dream for Simbu. And he is marching towards it."

"In the particular advertisement, I had mentioned that Simbu is now emerging as a star like how MGR was in those days. Silambarasan has got all qualities to reach that (MGR) place," says the multifaceted personality.

On his forthcoming film 'Oru Thalai Kadhal', he says, "It is a love story which will be a perfect treat to today's audience. I am on a crash diet to make myself fit to the role I am playing in the movie. I know the pulse of youth."

Silambarasan slams Vijay TV and Filmfare awards

The recently held Vijay TV and Filmfare awards may have been considered a huge success but Silambarasan begs to differ. He questions whether the awards reflect the opinion of the majority of Tamil film fans or if they are merely a reflection of the personal preferences of a small group of individuals who wield a lot of power and influence in the awards committee.
However, STR agreed that at least some of the awards went to those who deserved them and for that he is very happy. He even offered his congratulations to those who had truly earned their awards but refused to be more specific about who they might be. His film, VTV had a good showing this awards season.

While talking about this, STR says, “I have written a song and crooned it to the tunes of Thaman, which is about a husband’s praises for his wife.”
