Prasath Murugesan, a former associate of director Vasanthabalan, is wielding the megaphone for Sasikumar‘s next movie, that has been titled as ‘Kidaari‘. The first schedule of the movie was completed recently.

“Wanna share the news of my next production, me as ‘Kidaari’ directed by Prasath Murugesan. 1st schedule already up”, the ‘Subramanyapuram’ and ‘Nadodigal’ man posted on his online page.

Mollywood actress Nikhila Vimal, who was part of Sasikumar’s recent venture ‘Vetrivel’, shares the screen space with him in this new project too. It will have musical score by Darbuka Siva.

Produced by Sasikumar’s Company Productions, ‘Kidaari’ has SR Kathir of ‘Nadodigal’ fame cranking the camera. The movie will be a rural entertainer set in the backdrop of southern Tamil Nadu and will be shot in areas such as Theni, Kovilpatti, Virudhunagar and Sattur.

Remember ‘Thalainagaram’ and ‘Marudhamalai’, both directed by Suraaj featuring Vadivelu in memorable comedy roles. Now that the duo has come together again, this time for ‘Kathi Sandai‘, a laugh riot is in store, it seems.

According to sources close to the unit, Vadivelu’s look itself will be hilarious in ‘Kathi Sandai’ and the scenes involving him and Vishal will bring the roofs down.

“Recently, Vishal could not control himself when he saw Vadivelu’s getup in the movie for the first time. It will be revealed to the audience soon,” sources said.

Tamannah plays the heroine of ‘Kathi Sandai’, tipped to be an action-comedy. Popular Tollywood star Jagapathi Babu is playing the villain of Vishal in this flick, which is fast taking shape.

This year, there seems to be more participation from South Indian cinema at Cannes. Close on the heels of ‘Baahubali’ makers revealing that they would attend a discussion at the prestigious film festival, Amy Jackson too has said she would be at Cannes.

The ‘I’ and ‘Madrasapattinam’ actress has said she has been invited by the British Film Institute for a luncheon, where she will be talking about her Bollywood journey. Also, she will attend a charity event where funds are being raised for Syrian refugees.

Meanwhile, Amy is busy with the much awaited ‘2.0’ starring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar. Talking about the project, she said, “It is a very interesting role and I am thankful to Shankar sir for giving me the opportunity.”

On sharing the screen space with the Superstar, she said, “I was very nervous initially. But he made me feel at ease. He is such a nice gentleman and he ensures that things are cool on the sets. And he is a thorough professional.”

The legendary K Balachander, who is no more, wanted to direct a film centred on children. He had even penned the script, finalised the actors and asked his ‘student’ Samuthirakani to assist him in the project.

But before things could materialise, fate overtook the ‘Iyakkunar Sigaram’. And now, Samuthirakani, despite his busy schedule as actor and director, has vowed to make his mentor’s dream a reality.

The ‘Nadodigal’ and ‘Nimirndhu Nil’ maker, who is busy wielding the megaphone for a film titled ‘Appa’, will start working on Balachander’s project soon. Besides directing, he is also planning to produce the film and play a key role in it.

“I don’t want to request anyone to bankroll the film. Hence, I myself will be doing it. It will be my tribute to KB sir. But everything depends on the box-office response to be generated by ‘Appa’,” he adds.

From today, children watching ‘24‘ will be given ‘magic watch’ at theatres. “Since the summer vacation is on, more kids will be coming to cinema halls. So Suriya and other members of ’24’ team wanted to gift them something,” sources said.

They said the film, which has time travel as its concept, has already received positive feedback from the young ones and they expect more children to come to theatres to watch the movie.

Meanwhile, thanking fans for their support to the movie, Suriya said, “Truly elated to receive all the love and affection that’s been coming our way for 24. It’s a big step for a 2 film old company like 2D Entertainment to take up such a massive production.”

“This film is a simple narrative of a fantasy subject of Time Travel- Vikram Kumar had done his homework in advance and the scenes explaining the watch and what all it does have hit the right notes with the audience. I thank my co-stars, technicians and production team who have made every scene come together for the film to work as a whole!” he said.

“As an actor, it feels immensely good when I am appreciated for not one but all the three roles I took up in this film. I genuinely thank each one of you who have loved this film- like our director Vikram Kumar keeps saying- we made a film from our hearts for you and now we are truly humbled when we are showered with all your love and applause that you are giving me and Team 24”, he added.
