Will Vimala Raman join the likes of Asin and Nayantara and make it big after 'Raman Thediya Seethai'? Though she was introduced by K Balachander in 'Poi', she is still to strike it rich in Tamil.
She is now confident that she would bounce back in style with 'Raman Thediya Seethai', directed by Jagannath and produced by Moser Baer. A former Australian beauty pageant winner (in a category for Indian girls), Vimala Raman said, 'Jagannath has given a beautiful role for me to perform. I play a Nagercoil girl in the movie and my character has come out well and all credit should go to Jagannath for it'.
On sharing the screen with the likes of Cheran, she said, 'it was really a dream-come-true experience for me to act alongside the talented actor-director Cheran. He has come out with several blockbusters and hopefully my scenes with him would rock on screen'.
'Raman Thediya Seethai' features Cheran, Pasuparthy, Nithin Sathya, Vimala Raman, Gajala, Ramya Nambesan and Navya Nair. The musical score is by Vidyasagar and the film is ready for release.

நான் கடவுள்

Director Bala's 'Naan Kadavul' is gearing up for release finally. The movie featuring Arya and Pooja was in the making for over a year. Amidst delay due to various reasons, Bala completed the movie recently and the post production work is going on. A few sources are still of the opinion that there could still be a slight delay as talks are on between two warring sides. Meanwhile, Bala has been roped in to do a movie for C TV Entertainment. He has been reportedly paid a hefty sum for the project. The story is ready while search is on for the star cast.

Finalizing Rajini's looks.

Director Shankar and costume designer Manish Malhotra are busy men these days. They have the rather pleasant task of stylizing superstar Rajinikanth in such a way that he jells with the character he plays in the film. Initial reports indicate that Rajinikanth would play a young scientist in the film and would be seen in a rather eccentric getup.But then, what is a Rajini film without style and substance? Manish Malhotra is a big name when it comes to dressing up popular stars. His work in 'Sivaji' was 'to the point' and brilliant. The Shankar-Malhotra combine would most definitely want to recreate the stunning Rajini demeanor with Robo as well. To finalize his looks, photo-shoots were held at the AVM studios and a popular studio in Nungambakkam. Rajinikanth dressed up in Manish Malhotra's costumes and reportedly looked dazzling.Rajinikanth is not all that young anymore and so requires wigs these days. Many of his fans still believe that no wig can actually live up to his original hair. But then his original hair is lost forever and so hairstylist Banu was roped in for 'Sivaji'. She has been restored with the responsibility for 'Robo' as well.Shankar is known to experiment and so he is expected to organize many more photo-shoots before actually finalizing the star's looks. Aishwarya Rai who plays Rajinikanth's leading lady in 'Robo' is currently on a world tour with her husband and in-laws. As soon as she gets back to India, another round of photo-shoots are expected to take place.
