Vijay’s film in Hindi!

Cinemimi[Sunday January 23,2011]
After remaking his Malayalam Bodyguard into Tamil as Kavalan, Siddique seems to be moving Bollywood-wards. Kavalan will speak Hindi very soon under the title My Love Story with Salman and Kareena in the lead, produced by Reliance Big Pictures and directed by Siddique himself. This will also mark Siddique’s Bollywood entry following his successful contemporaries Priyadarshan and Santosh Sivan.

My Love Story will be a short term project that is said to go on floors in the first week of March aiming for an October release. Pritam scores music for the movie.

Vijay feels relieved

Cinemimi [Monday, January 17, 2011]
Vijay is a happy man now as the uncertainity over ‘Kavalan’ was put to an end on Pongal day when the film hit the screens all over the world, much to the celebration of his fans.

“It was only because of Vijay the movie managed to see the light of the day. He wanted his fans not to get disappointed and finally stepped in to ensure the release of Kavalan,” sources in the know say.

Saying that the actor gave some assurances to all those who had opposed the film’s release, sources add only after certain promises from Vijay they had withdrawn their opposition to ‘Kavalan’.

“Vijay is also happy that his fans enjoyed the film, which showed him in a different light,” sources add. Directed by Siddique, ‘Kavalan’, a remake of Malayalam hit ‘Bodyguard’, has Asin and Vadivelu in pivotal roles.

Bad news for Vijay fans

Cinemimi[Sunday,January,16,2011]
It is bad news for all Vijay fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of their idol’s Kaavalan. The film will after all not hit the screens tomorrow as announced. The problem this time comes from the producer’s side as he owes 8.75 crores and needs to settle this amount to the concerned party before releasing the film. But all efforts are now on with mediators arranging to release the film at least on Saturday, January 15, 2011.

This news is indeed is a shocker to Vijay fans as they are expecting Kaavalan’s release, which is touted to be a very different film in the star’s career. Kaavalan is directed by Siddique and has Asin as Vijay’s on-screen pair.

Kaavalan all set to hit USA

Cinemimi[tuesday January 11,2011]
The US rights of Kaavalan, the much-anticipated Vijay-starrer, have been procured by Ayngaran International and GK Media. The movie is directed by Siddique, who has also wielded the megaphone for its original version in Malayalam. Asin and Vadivelu share the screen space with Vijay in this romantic comedy.

Vidyasagar’s peppy and fresh music is a treat to the ears and the comedy element in this film is another highlight with Vadivelu and Vijay doing their best. Kaavalan is a sure treat for the family audience and this is evident from the fact that Censor Board has passed it without any cuts.

Vijay is the first Tamilian!

Cinemimi[Saturday January 08,2011]
Vijay has achieved a rare distinction of being the first Tamilian to be selected for the Asianet Awards. Every year, Malayalam actors, actresses and technicians are honored with the Asianet Awards and this year, for the first time, Tamil star Vijay has been selected for this honor. He will be receiving the award under the Best Tamil Actor category at a function that is to be held on January 9th, 2011 in Kochi.

Mammootty will be felicitated with the Superstar award while Mohanlal will receive the Goldenstar award in this function. Nayanthara has been selected as the best actress for her role in Bodyguard.

Kaavalan is poignant

Cinemimi[Friday January 07,2011]
Vijay’s Kaavalan will be released this Pongal as planned! Finally, the film went in for censor certification and has been awarded a U. Kaavalan is a family entertainer and Vijay is aiming at the family audiences this time. The film’s director Siddique, we hear, has made some changes so that Vijay’s fans aren’t disappointed.

As per reports, the climax of Kaavalan is emotionally charged and some of the Censor Board officials were in tears. Sources close to the Censor Board say that the officials were thoroughly satisfied with the film and have not advocated any cuts.

Vijay’s Kaavalan gets only 70 theatres

Cinemimi[Wednesday, December 29, 2010]
Kaavalan which has Vijay and Asin in the lead roles is to be released for Pongal. But only 70 theatres are available for the screening of this film and that also, these theatres are ordinary ones.

Kaavalan is a film which has Vijay and Asin in the lead roles and is directed by Siddique. Right from beginning this film has been facing lots of obstacles and problems. Now this film was supposed to be released on 17th of this month.

But since there was dearth in the theatres, this release was postponed to Pongal. But now also this film is not getting theatres. The reason for this is the theatre owners. The Theatre Owners are claiming compensation from Vijay since some of his recent films did not do well at the box office. But Vijay said that he is not responsible and so there is no question of compensation. Now the theatre owners are refusing to screen Vijay’s films.

In between Shakthi Chidambaram intervened in this matter and acquired the rights and has planned to release in 400 theatres in Tamil Nadu. But so far he was able to get only 70 theatres and that also these theatres are ordinary. Because of this Kaavalan is still in trouble at a time when Siruthai and Ilaignyan have got most of the theatres.
