We
had earlier reported about Silambarasan’s
new flick Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, the stills
of which you might have seen in newspapers
and the web. You might also have noticed
the absence of any cast and crew details
in the first look. Remember, we had told
you that Silambarasan had indeed bagged
an exciting project, which will see the
best in Kollywood come together. This will
definitely be Silambarasan’s most
high profile movie yet.
Let’s break the suspense, Vinnaithaandi
Varuvaaya will be directed by none other
than Gautham Menon. The surprises do not
stop here, the heroine will be Trisha (with
Silambarasan after nearly five years. The
last time was in Alai) and in all probability
the music will be by A.R. Rahman, something
that is yet to be confirmed. If that happens,
it will be the first of Silambarasan’s
career and also a first for Gautham who
has worked only with Harris Jeyaraj thus
far.
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya is a huge surprise
on all fronts. No one even had a scent of
what was happening. The banner, which is
producing the movie ‘Escape Artists
Motion Picutres’, has been floated
by Gautham himself, no one had the slightest
inkling on that too. After Vaaranum Aayiram,
the media has been running from pillar to
post trying to know what Gautham is up to
next. There was news of a movie with Ajith
under the AVM banner, some said that he
might take up Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam
and there had even been news that he was
looking to start a Telugu project with Mahesh
Babu in the lead. All this while, Gautham
held his cards close to his chest. We also
need to give credit to Silambarasan who
has managed to stay away from media eyes.
We were speculating Kettavan’s revival,
but Silambarasan is not too keen on being
the bad man any time soon. And, wasn’t
Trisha supposed to start work on a big budget
Telugu project after completing Sarvam?
We must admit that Gautham and Co., pulled
off a stunner.
According to initial reports and stills,
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya will be a sweet
and simple love story, a throwback to Gautham’s
initial days in films with Minnale. There
has been no official launch of the movie
but on the very day the promos were flashed,
the first shot was taken at AVM studios,
one that shows Silambarasan walking in through
a gate. No other details of the cast and
crew have been divulged yet. We will inform
you about this ‘instant’ movie’s
progress as and when Gautham chooses to
reveal anything. |
