Bala’s new Tamil heroine "Janani"
National award winning director Bala is starting the shoot of his next film called Avan Evan with Vishal and Arya. The film has a new heroine a Tamil girl Janani Iyer.
Janani said: “I am a Chennai girl born and brought up here and studied at D AV School at Gopalapuram. Then I did my computer science course from Savitha Engineering College. Avan Evan is my first film. But I have done modelling for over 150 ads including national and regional ones.
Jananini always wanted to be an actor as it is her passion in life. So how did she land this film with Bala? “Director Vijay (Poi Solla Porum) is like my guru and he told me that Bala sir was looking for a new face for his film. So I tried my luck by going for his audition. Bala sir after the audition told me that I fit into the role.”
Janani is not allowed as per her contract to speak to the media about her role or the film. Anyway,she has so far made the right moves, and has the potential to be the first Tamil girl after Trisha to make it big in Kollywood.

Asal gets a clean U/A
Ajith Kumar’s Asal will now have a pre-poned release on February 5 as the producers have confirmed the new release dates. The members of Censor Board watched the film recently and have passed it with ‘U/A’ certificate for its ‘violence quotients’. It seems that the members have insisted Saran to replace few shots so as to obtain clean ‘U’ certificate.
Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem to be a possibility as Saran has no intentions of replacing those shots. Earlier, plans were made to release the film on Valentine’s Day weekend (Feb 12), but due to random releases in the following weeks, the producers have preponed the release.
Asal brings back Ajith Kumar and director Saran for the fourth time followed by grand successes of Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam and Attagasam. Musical score by Bharadwaj has already become sensational hits in audio markets. Sameera Reddy and Bhavana are the heroines in the flick.

Yaavarum Kelir Start Rolling
It’s final now: Kamal Haasan has officially confirmed the title of his next film ‘Yaavarum Kelir’. As known earlier, the film is directed by K.S Ravikumar and is produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies.
Finalizing the female lead happened to be a great turmoil for the biggies and now they’ve finalized Trisha for the project. Kamal Haasan’s elder daughter Shruthi Haasan scores music for the film and it’s completely comedy-entertainer with a pragmatic theme in the backdrop.
Kamal Haasan’s spokesperson has mentioned that the film will start rolling from April and will hit screens for Diwali without any delay.
Wow! That’s really tremendous to hear that our very own Kamal Haasan will bring us another quickie within short span of time.

Producer Nisha informs that the complete film has been shot across Kaaraikudi and its surrounding villages in a short span of just 39 days.
Filmmakers Cheran and Bhagyaraj released the film's audio at Sathyam Cinemas. Addressing the special invitees, director Cheran said, "These days, films with star value are supported by theatre exhibitors and distributors.
