Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya- Gautham-Simbu film?

Is Gautham Menon and Silambarasan film titled as Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya?

The ad of the film which has appeared in today's newspapers is very interesting as it does not carry the names of the technical crew or the director.

The theme of the ad is based on the Vennilave Vennilave… Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya song where Prabhu Deva and Kajol dances under the moonlight in Rajeev Menon’s Minsarakanavu.

Here the pair is Simbu and Trisha (looks like her) in the same costume and pose.

The tag line of the film says it is- A different love story. AGAIN! Simbu and Gautham are not willing to comment on the tagline but promises that they will speak about it at a later stage. Now we will have to be contended with the teaser ads.

Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya is produced under the banner of escape artists motion pictures & r.s.infotainment pvt.ltd.
