Gautham Menon To Bollywood With VTV

His films speak a different language and he knows his stuff. Gautham hit the bull’s eye yet again with his last release Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya(VTV) in Tamil and its Telugu version Ye Maya Chesave.
But the soft spoken director is cool as ever and is chilling out at home taking a break from films. He says: “I am eagerly waiting for June 18 to watch Mani Ratnam’s Raavan. I loved the songs and think it will be an amazing film”.
Now the trend setting ace director is all set to go to Bollywood. He will be making his super hit rom-com VTV in Hindi for producer Ambika Hinduja and will have newcomers in the lead.
Prateik Babbar, son of Raj Babbar is likely to play the role made memorable by Simbu, while a new Mumbai girl will play Trisha’s role. Gautham Menon told “If all goes well, the Hindi version of VTV will start rolling from August with an all new star cast and AR Rahman’s music”
When asked about his film with Ajith for Dhayanidhi Alagiri’s Cloud Nine, Gautham said: “ I have no news about it, for the last few months I have no contact with Ajith. At the moment my focus is on my Hindi VTV remake.”

Pokkiri Raja demolish Alexander!

The early reports indicate that the winner of May 7 triangular fight at the Kerala box-office is the Mammootty-Prithviraj action mass masala Pokkiri Raja!
The film has taken an extraordinary opening and is on its way to become a hit.
The combined force of Mammootty and Prithviraj has demolished Mohanlal’sAlexander the Great, which is turning out to be a turkey at the box-office. The Mohanlal film failed not only to take an opening but in some centers was hold over on the first day!
Meanwhile Sathyan Anthikad’s Katha Thudaranu has taken a slow start but the trade says it will be the ultimate winner, as family audiences are sure to lap it up. The trade also feels that after a great initial Pokkiri Raja will fall, as the content is weak.
