March - The Month That Was!

March was annotated with poojas, press meets, releases, audio releases, weddings, and sadly an unpredicted bereavement. It had Rajini written all over it. In less than a year of Sivaji’s release, he announced his next project.

Now off to the month’s events…

Movie Launches

“This is 50% Pasupathy’s film, 25% Vadivelu’s and only the rest of 25% mine,” Rajini announced to the thronging pack of journalists – including me of course – at Kuselan’s launch. As precious as his time is, he left in a jiffy after making that statement leaving the crowd asking for more!

Did you know Surya shed a lot of flab - not that he had too much of that before - as seen by me for the movie launch and press meet of Ayan? Nope, it’s not in an attempt to look younger than his younger sibling. It’s for the K.V. Anand directed Ayan where he stars opposite the Punjabi hottie Tamanna. And no prizes for guessing- the hot topic of discussion at the event was indeed the title.

Pyramid Saimira has decided to provide a fresh leash of life to 24 impoverished producers by co-producing their movies. Ten producers were selected in the first phase and the inaugural event was held. Upcoming directors will direct these films.

The other launches held in the month include Engal Aasan with Captain Vijayakanth in the lead and the Sneha Prasanna starrer Achamundu Achamundu.
