Trisha to pair Kamal Haasan in 'Marma Yogi'!

There has been a lot of speculation shrouding Kamal Haasan's 'Marma Yogi' of late with special emphasis to the female lead of the film.

It was first reported that Kamal Haasan who directs the film was quite keen in casting Kajol, but then the actress could not make herself available due to various reasons. Then attention was turned towards Shriya Saran and Padmapriya. It is now confirmed that these actresses have nothing to do with the film. The latest news is that Trisha would be paring Kamal Haasan. However, it has been confirmed that the only actress to have signed on the dotted line is Jayapradha who would be playing quite a prominent role.

We'll have to wait and see if Trisha's involvement with the project holds water or not. Certain sources claim that Trisha has okayed a 100-day call sheet for the 'Marma Yogi' and that she's looking forward to acting with Kamal Haasan.

Trisha to sing

Close circles around Trisha have always maintained that Trisha has a sweet voice and that she can sing well. However the actress herself has not spoken much about it.

Trisha is a fervent fan of A. R. Rahman and her hidden talent might just surface soon. Reports suggest that she has been approached to sing a song in the Telugu film 'Raja' in which she stars too.

'I can't reveal more at this point as nothing is official as of yet' says the actress who has been making waves in the Telugu film industry. 'One of my longtime dreams is to sing in a Rahman song and the wish seems to be coming true now', says the actress, who is donning the role of a singer in the film.

Pinning hopes on 'Raja', Trisha says, 'this is the first time I am acting in the role of a singer. Since I can croon well, I feel it could be quite easy to don the character.'

Rajini mania kickstarts as 'Kuselan' nears completion

A plethora of emotions with a lingering look back at the past with the startling reality of the present is what 'Kuselan' is all about. In this remake of a Malayalam film named 'Katha Parayumpol' superstar Rajinikanth plays himself.

The superstar's acting portion has been completed. The movie still has some portions of Nayantara to be canned and even that is expected to be over in a day or two at the Ramoji Rao film city in Hyderabad. Some scenes involving Pasupathy and Meena are also pending. After that, full fledged post production work is slated to begin.

It is a moving tale of two boys who grow up together as thick buddies only to find themselves taken in different paths. One ends up as the superstar in the movies and the other a struggling barber.

Five beautiful ladies grace the screen along with the Superstar. While Nayantara plays the superstar's lady love, Trisha and Sneha feature in song sequences. Meena plays the struggling barber's (Pasupathy) wife. Mamtha Mohandas plays an assistant director in the film. Interestingly P. Vasu, the director of the film plays himself in front of the camera.

Intense sequences have been picturized especially when the shooting crew along with the superstar land up in the same place the barber's saloon is located. How would it be when the two childhood friends meet?

Rajinikanth has proved his mettle in charged up emotional scenes with legendary performances in movies like 'Mullum Malarum'. But then the larger than life superstar image was expected with every release of his, by his die hard fans. With 'Kuselan', Rajinikanth has got the opportunity to showcase his inner strengths as a prolific actor.

'Kuselan' could very well be the film to watch out for….what with a gripping story line and the magic of the superstar all rolled into one.

Shreya replaces Trisha

The successful combination of Thiruvilayadal Arambam is once again joining together. Dhanush and Shreya pair will play in the Tamil remake of Hindi hit Jab We Met soon. Initially, the producer had fixed Trisha for the lead lady role that was played by Kareena Kapoor in the original.

But later Shreya replaced Trisha and the producer of the film Moser Baer also confirmed the same. Interestingly, Trisha is the heroine of Moser Baer's forthcoming big budget film Abhiyum Naanum. But she has failed to maintain the rapport with her producer for their next venture.

Jab We Met was a big hit in Hindi, which featured Shahid Kapoor and Kareena in lead roles. Dhanush will return to this project after the completion of his ongoing Padikkathavan.
