Simbu’s next flick and a two crore deal! Deivanai Movie Makers, the people who gave you the Simbu starrer Saravana, are making yet another Simbu flick. Negotiations are almost through though Simbu is demanding two crores. This is despite the fact that Saravana was a flop. If Saravana was a flop why should the production house sign up Simbu again? When Saravana was in the making, the producers went through a cash crunch. Simbu’s daddy barged in with cash to bail the producers out. Dad was sure that his son would spin out a hit. Now the producers expect the same gesture from dad for this movie. That T Rajender burnt his fingers by buying the distribution rights of Saravana is another story.     Will it release? High court stays Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu!! It seems like Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu has been jinxed from the beginning. The film shuffles from one mishap to another. After the suicide attempt by producer Kaja Maideen, the film was taken over by director Gowtham Menon himself and then Seventh Channel Narayanan stepped in to complete the film. The audio release was held on February 5. Now, the High Court of Madras has issued an interim order against releasing the film. The reason? Kaja Maideen who had obtained finance of Rs. 2.60 crores from Mahendra Kumar Jain failed to repay the sum. Even after repeated reminders, Maideen was silent. Meanwhile, he transferred the film to Narayanan to be released under his banner. The total outstanding mounted up to Rs. 3.18 crores.In his petition before Honorable Justice Chockalingam, Jain prayed that the film copies should not be delivered from the Prasad Labs and the release should be stayed till his dues are settled. Hearing the petition, the Judge ordered interim stay. It is quite surprising that more and more people involved in the background for film production are approaching the courts for settling their claims. It is high time the industry got an institutional framework for carrying on business and settling disputes. Trust of word and faith are becoming a thing of the past March 09, 2006   Trisha: Glamour first, acting later Almost all the new face heroines say that they will not do glamorous roles but after they settle down, they do it any way, including Sada, Gopika and Sneha. However, Trisha is different. Guess what she said when she entered the industry? “I was afraid that they would give me stereotyped family girl roles. Luckily, I got into glamour. That’s what has fetched me the market I enjoy today.” Different, eh? That’s Trisha     Nayan’s No to S J Surya despite Simbu’s appeal   The performance of S J Surya’s Kalvanin Kaadhali at the box-office has not been bad despite the bad press that it got. Surya is now gearing up for his next film Pandigai, to be directed by Mutthu Vadugu. This has already been reported at our site. But one thing that bothers Surya is the heroine. His favourite, Nayantara, has said no. He approached Simbu to persuade the lady but even Simbu could do nothing. Now why Simbu? Hey, man, Simbu is Nayan’s best friend. We just do know what is it in Surya that has upset this girl so badly. Surya is now zooming in on Bhavana of Chittiram Paesudhedi. .   .
