Flipping the pages of success

The makers of Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom celebrated its 50-day run in theatres recently. At a felicitation event organised in the city, the producers JSK Films decided to do something different. Instead of the usual practice of honouring the cast and crew, they went a step further and felicitated filmmakers whose work made a mark in 2012. They included Pa. Ranjith ( Attakathi ), Thangasamy ( Raatinam ), Lakshmi Ramakrishnan ( Arohanam ) and Anbazhagan ( Saatai ). NKPK by director Balaji Tharaneetharan was a rib-tickling entertainer that proved to be a surprise package last year.

Look who’s back!

Vijayalakshmi who was seen in successful films such as

Chennai 600028 and Anjathe is back with Vennila Veedu . The film, directed by Vetrimahalingam, has Senthil playing the lead role. Produced by Adharsh Studio, the story revolves around a couple that comes from the village to live in the city. Is it a flat life? Well, let’s wait and see…

Pongalo pongal!

Is it a film set, you wonder when you see pictures of Sanjay Dutt holding sugarcane and posing behind pots of sizzling pongal. It turns out that the

Police Giri team celebrated the harvest festival on the set with the Bollywood star, director K. S. Ravikumar and others. And guess what, Dutt bought a

veshti to wear to the puja and stirred the

ponga panai himself! Dutt’s the spirit! For those who came in late, the film is a remake of the Tamil hit

Saamy, and Prachi Desai is Dutt’s co-star.

Tamasha trio!

Actors Santhanam, Shiva and ‘Powerstar’ Srinivasan come together for, what else, but a comic caper. For those of you who love to note down unusual titles, here is another one. Yes, the film is called Ya Ya and is directed by Rajasekar, who assisted Rajesh in making the hit film Boss Engira Baskaran . Dansika and Kadhal Sandhya too play important roles in the M10 Productions’ film for which shooting is underway.
