Madharasapattinam – From Rs.5Crores to Rs.20Crores

It’s so illogical about commencing a project at Rs.5Crores and later approaching yourproducers saying that ‘Sir it’s gonna costRs.15Crores to complete this project’. Oops! It was really shocking to hear that director Vijay had uttered these words that are more disgusting to hear. Let’s forget it as this is between producerand director.
Kalpathy Agoram’s previous film ‘Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam’ was made at a cost of Rs.12Crores and producers struggled to get a collection on half of it. Getting on to speak about the pre-release expectations, the musical score by G.V. Prakash isn’t being a great one on charts. According to the some of the officials in audio outlets, they have mentioned that the sales are pretty low when compared to other albums.
The public aren’t actually looking out for this film as they feel that period films have nothing much to impress them. Even the multiplex audiences may not like the film as it is a drama genre and very few may get over it.
When compared to the previous production’s sales at box office, the producers are now vividly planning to make a good show.

The film’s shooting will be completed within next 4 months and will have a grand release. It looks like, the film will have more reach than the Telugu and Tamil version as the brand Salman Khan himself would sell the film for a greater sum.

Jackie Chan to inaugurate Vijay’s ‘Velayudham’

What happens when a best meets worst? Here’s a big illustration that is likely to happen herein Chennai. Vijay’s previous films have been flunking down terribly at box office and he has decided to make powerful movies from now on. The first will be ‘Kavalkaran’ that in no way will be the same as his previous film and the next one if ‘Velayudham’.
The sources closer to producer Aascar Ravichandran have left a buzz that Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan will launch the film at Nehru Indoor Stadium. We aren’t sure about this fact as the actor may or may not attend the occasion.
Last time Aascar Ravichandran had nearly spent Rs 4.5Crores for audio launch of Kamal Haasan’s Dasavatharam. Since, there haven’t been any big releases from Vijay or Aascar Ravichandran; it looks like the plans maybe quite bigger this time.

Naturally, the actress should have got herself annoyed performing the same roles over and again. But guess what? Only such roles have been getting her good reviews and first it was Ameer’s ‘Paruthiveeran’ and now Manirathnam’s ‘Raavanan’.
In both the versions, she plays the role of a girl being assaulted in groups. In similarity, her culmination in ‘Paruthiveeran’ was the same and the actress is literally discombobulated with repeatedacts. She is vexed about the fact that she is being addressed as in a unique way. But what to do, the actress cannot ask for the entire delineation of her role in ‘Raavanan’.
The actress has decided not to get on for such roles in mere future.
