Though Kamal Haasan and other members of ‘Sabash Naidu’ team left for the United States more than a week ago itself and started shooting for the film there, Shruti Haasan has joined them only now.

Before commencing her voyage, the actress-singer-music composer posted on her microblogging page: “All set to head to Los Angeles !!!! Excited to begin the new project with my father and excited to go back to sunny California.”

For the first time, Shruti is sharing the screen space with her legendary father in this flick being directed by Rajeev Kumar. Interestingly, her younger sister Akshara Haasan will be an assistant director. Maestro Ilayaraja is scoring music for ‘Sabash Naidu’, jointly bankrolled by Lyca Productions and Raj Kamal Films.

Unable to find the whereabouts of S Madhan of Vendhar Movies in Varanasi, his mother Thangam and wife Sumalatha have lodged a complaint with the Chennai city police commissioner today.

In the complaint, they said that Madhan was missing since Sunday after mentioning in a letter that he would attain ‘samadhi’ in Varanasi. Stating that they went to Varanasi in search of him but could not find him, they requested the police to find out Madhan.

After leaving a five-page shocking statement, in which he had said that he was going to Kasi to end his life, Madhan went out of reach of his family, friends and colleagues.

Following this, T Siva, secretary of Tamil Film Producers Council and others, went to Varanasi in search of him. In the letter addressed to his family, Paarivendhar (T R Pachamuthu, founder of SRM Group) and friends, Madhan said that he did a lot to make SRM Group number one in education and other fields.

He however said he was pained by the recent developments and ‘Vendhar’ has been ignoring them.

Just days after Priyamani‘s engagement with her longtime boyfriend Mustafa, interesting details are cropping up as to how cupid struck the two.

“We met at a Celebrity Cricket League match. We got along well and became good friends. But it was me who took the first step. One day, I messaged him, saying ‘I like you’. But it took weeks for him to understand the real meaning,” says Priyamani.

On why their engagement was such a hush-hush affair (it happened at Priyamani’s house in Bengaluru in the presence of important family members), she says, “we initially planned a gala event. But my dad’s brother passed away recently. So Mustafa wanted to keep it simple.”

Stating that she would continue acting after post marriage, the national award winning actress says their wedding date is yet to be fixed. She says both she and Mustafa are on cloud nine after the engagement.
