The wallpaper of the Twitter page of director A R Murugadoss has caused flutter in the industry and among fans, as it features an eye, which is said to be that of Ajith.

This has added strength to claims that the filmmaker’s next movie would be with the ‘thala’. Buzz is that it would be bankrolled by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies.

It may be recalled that Murugadoss made his debut in Kollywood with Ajith-starrer ‘Dheena’ in the early 2000s. From then on, there is no looking back for the director, who is now sought after in Bollywood too.

Meanwhile, Ajith is all set to start his next movie with director Siruthai Siva soon. After completing it, he will join hands with Murugadoss for a ‘big budget movie’, it is learnt.

After ‘Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka‘, Aadhi and Nikki Galrani have come together once again, this time for a fantasty flick. The film, which is untitled yet, will be directed by Saravanan, a debutant.

Spilling the beans on the movie, Aadhi says, “I play a local guy, who hails from Tirupur. Nikki playing a character who has a split personality of sorts. I am happy to work with her again.”

Shooting will commence in Chennai tomorrow (Thursday) and a grand set of a house has been erected for the film at a studio in the city. Dhibu, a former associate of Santhosh Narayanan, will make his debut as music composer in this flick.

It is learnt that plans are on to complete the shoot in one go and to release the film by the third quarter of 2016. Besides Chennai, the film will be shot in other locations too, including some abroad destinations.

With her kissing scene with Randeep Hooda in her Hindi flick ‘Do Lafzon Ki Kahani’ creating flutter, Kajal Aggarwal has broken the silence on the issue for the first time.

“It has been unnecessarily sensationalised. I play a visually challenged girl in the movie and the scene was about she expressing her feelings for her man. I don’t understand why people are making it a big issue,” she said.

The ‘Thupakki’ actress said that though she was initially hesitant to do that scene, she did it later after she understood its relevance.

Recently, the film’s director Deepak said in a statement, “I do remember Kajal had told me that she does not do kissing scenes on screen, as she is a huge south Indian movie star, and this would impact her career in south movies. But let me tell you there was no intention to malign her or kiss her out of force; it was the emotional moment between two lovers as per the script, and I generally prefer actors doing scenes impromptu, so Randeep followed the emotional quotient of the scene, and made a go at it.”

He added: “Sure it did send Kajal in a state of some shock, and she did back off calling for a cut, but, later on, once I had explained to her the significance of the lip lock, she surrendered herself to the script, and went on to do the scene with all the passion she could put in.”

Gautham Karthik has dubbed as rumours, reports which claimed that he was unwell and underwent a surgery too recently. “This is absolute joke. I am fully fit and fine,” says the ‘Kadal’ hero.

Saying he cycles every morning for around 20 kms, Gautham says he is completely fine. Then why this delay in the release of his films? “As an actor, my duty ends with acting in movies. Producers have to take a call on release dates,” he says.

The elder son of veteran actor Karthik also wishes to clear the air on reports that he was seeing a popular actress. “I am not in any relationship. I am totally single,” he claims.

The ‘Yennamo Edho’ and ‘Vai Raja Vai’ actor is currently part of movies such as ‘Indrajith’, ‘Rangoon’, ‘Muthuramalingam’ and ‘Sippai’. All these films are in various stages of making.
