"Kandasamy" Great Shock

The crew of Kandasamy including its hero Vikram and Producer Thanu is in great shock and disappointment. Nearly 30 out of the 120 film rolls that were used for the shooting in the exotic locations of Mexico recently have been found damaged.

Normally for films that are shot abroad, the film rolls are prevented from getting 'scanned' at the airport by the security staff, if the crew provides enough proof to the airport authorities that those film rolls are used ones. It seems that this formality hasn't been followed in this instance.

Director Susi Ganesan and the cameraman Eka are accusing that the airport staffs have 'mishandled' the film rolls. But some of the unit members say that it could be the fault of the unit itself as they were extremely casual in attitude.

'Kalaipuli' Thanu is very upset as all the efforts and crores of money spent in Mexico has been wasted. After realising the importance of those damaged rolls, Thanu gave idea to the director to fly again to Mexico to shooting those scenes in the same locations. But after hearing some of his close friend's idea, he instructed the director to shoot the remaining portions and the climax in Binny mills.

Shreya Next Project "Jaggubhai"

Sarath Kumar is all set to play Shriya's father in K. S. Ravikumar's 'Jaggubhai'. The story delves deep into the intricate relationship between a father and daughter. The film was originally written for superstar Rajinikanth but then was shelved for unknown reasons. However, the director wanted 'Jaggubhai' to see the light of day and cast Sarath Kumar in the lead. Interestingly, the director has rendered big time hits with Sarath in the past.

K. S. Ravikumar is facing a Himalayan problem now. Who will play the role of Sarath Kumar's wife? Because the role also entails playing mom to Shriya, most top actresses don't want anything to do with the project. Actresses such as Sneha, Simran, Padmapriya, Vimala Raman and Tabu have been considered but with negative responses.

With Shriya among the top contenders in the line up of Numero Uno in Tamil films, no other actress wants to give her that much of boost to consolidate it. Truly a headache for the filmmakers.

Meanwhile, there were reports that the title for the movie would be changed. The director has denied this and said he'd go ahead with the same title.

Shreya Says She Is Single

"I come from a very simple family. We were once belong to lower middle class" says Shriya without any hesitation.

"I live with my parents. They are more open minded and they don't care about what I do in public." comments Shriya about her parents.

"Even Though I live with my parents, I never allow them into my bedroom or allow them to stay along with me in a single room or hall" cautious Shriya adds.

"Being single is really an enjoyment and I really enjoy it partying with my friends whom I like and date with a person of my choice" thrills Shriya.

Shriya Says I Got Attention, Respect Because Of Rajini

Overnight Shriya, the flavour of Kollywood become the hottest girl in town after featuring in Rajnikanth’s heroine in Shankar’s Sivaji. According to her she got much attention and respect because of Superstar Rajini.
Post the super-successful run of ‘Sivaji’ she has been flooded with movie offers. She now has close to half a dozen Bollywood projects in hand.

Shriya With Sarath In K.S. Ravikumar Movie

Sarath seems to have found a way to strike a balance between his cine career and political aspirations. The actor is getting set for the release of 1977, and awaits eagerly the beginning of his next film. Following 1977, Sarath is to star in a movie directed by K.S. Ravikumar.
Earlier it was said that Sneha would play the lead in the movie. Now however, it is said that Shriya will play the lead. But Sneha fans need not pout in disappointment, because in this movie. Sarath plays a dual role, which means he will need two lead ladies! So Sneha is very much still in this project!
Sarath has become a pro at doing dual roles, and most often those movies do very well. So one can say that when he joins hands with K.S. Ravikumar, who seems to always know the pulse of the public, the outcome will indeed be awesome!

Tabu Play Shriya’s Mom

Sarath Kumar plays dual role in the movie, that of a elder and younger character. Shriya Saran has already been signed for the role of daughter of the elder Sarath Kumar. Now the crew of Jaggu Bhai is in search of mom for Shriya.
But all the young heroines who were approched refused the role. Sneha had initially agreed, but backed out later. Simran, Padmapriya and Vimala Raman were also considered, but nothing worked out. Now the buzz doing the round is that Tabu has agreed to play Shriya’s mom but for a whopping 75 Lakhs. If this news is confirmed, this will be the first time a mom character has been paid such a huge amount.

Shriya In Swimming Suit

First it was Nayantara, now it is Shriya. Yes! Shriya has posed in a Swimming Suit. But unlike Nayantara, it is not for a movie. It is for the famous fashion magazine Maxim.

On the cover of Maxim’s June issue, Shriya Saran stands majestically in her bikini with a look that conveys two meanings: “Come here, boys” for men and “It takes guts plus a charming figure to pose in a bikini” for women.

She looks absolutely sexy in the bikini. Her perfectly tanned and gleaming complexion will make people from the West envy her. It does not stop with this. There are more pictures of her inside the magazine, all hot and sexy.

It takes a lot of hard work to do this – Dieting, exercise, sunbathing, practice (for the pose, looks, and grace), and above all confidence! Regular visitors to Galatta.com will recollect that Shriya, wearing a stunningly short red dress, graced the inauguration of Galatta Cinema magazine last year.

Vikram’s Romance With Shriya
