"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.

Shirya Was Spotted Actively Taking Part In The Photo Shoot

This film's photo shoot has been in progress in various locations in Chennai including the Binny Mills and the beach. Shirya was spotted actively taking part in the photo shoot.

Shreya Next Project "Marmayogi" With Kamal Haasan

Terrific news has reached the ears of Shriya. The cute actress, who acted opposite Rajinikanth in 'Sivaji', will share the screen with Kamal Haasan now.

Reports suggest that she has been urged to act in Kamal Haasan's multilingual project 'Marmayogi'.

''I went over to cloud nine when they approached me to act opposite Kamal sir in ‘Marmayogi’. However, talks are still on and nothing has been finalized yet.'

When asked for the reason, Shriya said, 'Since I am already committed to a couple of projects including ‘Kandasamy’, ‘Jaggubai’ and a Hollywood film produced by Ashok Amritraj, I need to squeeze some time in between to be part in this prestigious project'.

On Kamal Haasan, she says, ' he is a talented actor, who has a passion for cinema. To be part of his project is a delight for any actress'.

Shriya plays a Call Center employee in the Hollywood film and ends up falling in love with a foreigner. How they meet and does love really blossom forms the rest of the film. Shriya incidentally has won the heart of Ashok Amritraj with her portrayal.

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.
