All surya needs now is a hit (been more than a 1&1/2 years since Gajini released), think he will have to wait longer!!
Check out Paruthiveeran and Mozhi. 8-)Quote:

And it isn't going to be a scene by scene copy anyway. 8-) I think GM got the point from PKMC.
What has Mozhi or PV got to do with remake version of Forest Gump? I fail to understand your comparison...Quote:

But all these songs and interviwen love story will only bring the pace down and eventually end up Damp squib at BO. Wait and watch!!Quote:

Genelia is Surya’s heroine!
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 17 April , 2007, 16:15
Hot shot director Gautham Vasudeva Menon (that’s what appeared in the launch advertisement), has started the shoot of his new film with Surya Varanam Aayiram in a Chennai location.
It is an action packed adventure movie that begins in Chennai, travels to Afghanistan and from there to Washington before coming back to New Delhi. Gautham and Surya is coming back nearly five years after that cult classic cop film Kakkha Kakkha.
Varanam Aayiram is being produced by Oscar Ravichandran, and there are two heroines in the film. Kuthu Ramya was signed up for the film a few months back. The latest we hear is that Genelia has been signed up as the other girl in the film.
Genelia is red hot in Telugu after delivering last years big hit Bommaralu with Siddharth.And her Dhee released last Friday has also been declared a big hit. In Tamil, Genelia had done Boys with Siddharth, Sachin with Vijay and Chennai Kathal with Bharat.
Neither of them had masala elements for the most part. Both are Blockbusters. 8-)Quote:

Songs and Love in MOMENTO? Would've slowed it down, and it would have been a damp squib. But Songs and Love in Gajini just helped the movie, and it went on to becomeing a blockbuster. :thumbsup: Gautham Menon is a good movie maker. His PKMC wasn't a washout! :notthatway:
Yes! We'll wait and see. 8-)
:yes: :thumbsup:Quote:

I Luve Genelia so much! :P Glad to see her in VA! :thumbsup:
I beg to disagree here. Gajini wasn't a tamil adaptation of MEMENTO (not MOMENTO). The character of the hero was similar(with short term memory loss) and thats about it. Other than that story line was entirely different. You have to watch Memento twice atleast to understand whatz going on in the movie coz, the film starts with a climax and goes backward.Quote:

PKMC is a flop!
See this theatre list of chennai :

PKMC is flop in city itself which is gautham's fort! :oops:
Thanks for the info nemesis. Lets see how remake of Forrest Gump turns out to. The reason why I feel bad on this remake is that its one of my most favourite movies.Quote:

That's my point. No remake or copy has even been 50% similar to the hollywood original.Gajini wasn't even though Murugadass said he same thing before it released. 8-) I think the Movie's Director, Producer, and everyone else involved would see that a movie like Forest Gump won't do well in TN if it was exactly the same. So it will be different it my opinion. @ this point, it's all just speculation. :)Quote:

Reg PKMC: I believed Sify which said it was Average. I guess another reason to not trust Sify's BO analysis.
Freedom i think VA will be a blockbuster :D
I wish it would/should be. Me being a big fan of GM. Atleast surya needs a hit after his 2 consecutive flops in the last year and a half!Quote:

Gimme a break.... Aaru was expected to be a hit, but unfortunately not. Surya was trying some mass role which evetually didn't fit him.Quote:

Thamirabharani and Aaru were hits in most centers. Not BBs like Pokiri Mozhi and PV Ofcourse. But they were still hits.
No more comments on this issue 8-)Quote:

Goutham Vasudevan Menon finally gets a heroine for Surya!
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 17, 2007
Goutham Menon has gone in for a change….nope it's not his forthcoming movie Varanam Aayiram, but himself. He has gone in for a rework of his name, to be addressed as Gautham Vasudevan Menon in the future. The reason for the Namesake change is not known. But however, his new name seems to have brought him good fortunes.
He seems to have finally zeroed in on his heroine for VA. Boys fame Genelia seems to be the lady luck. The actress is said to have gone bonkers over the script that was narrated to her. She is also too excited about starring opposite one of her favorite heroes, Surya.
The movie which seems to be a 'Go Around the World in 80 Days' project is slated to be shot in Afghanistan, Russia, USA, Malaysia, Chennai and some parts of North India. One of the most awaited movies this year, VA will see the stylist director-actor combination of Goutham and Surya hitting the silver screens after Kakka Kakka. The movie is produced by Oscar Films.

But none of her tamil movies have been a hit right :? That's what I worried about.Hopefully VA changes her track record :wink:Quote:

Genelia's Track Record won't harm the BO performance of the movie. :)
I think they was a issue, remember Manisha when she acted with Rajini for Baba it flopped.So when Kamal wanted Manisha again for Mumbai express many warned him from taking her but he resisted all of them and took her for MX and it flopped again.Quote:

:yes:
Also, SHE IS SO CUTE! :P I can go to a movie just to see her. :P
When probably VA will release?

Afghanistan resurrected in Chennai for Vaaranam Aayiram
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 30, 2007
Vaaranam Aayiram, Gautham Menon’s next film after Pachaikili Muthucharam with Surya has finally begun. The team was scheduled to leave for Afghanistan to can some shots there. But unfortunately they were not able to leave for the place as scheduled due to visa problems.
Meanwhile not wanting to waste any time further, they have opted to recreate Afghanistan in our very own Chennai. A simple set has been erected at the Guindy Campa Cola grounds to bring alive the land of Pathans here and it was also learnt that the shooting has already commenced at this venue. In the mean time they are also working towards obtaining visa for the crew and when it comes through, the rest of the shooting will continue in Afghanistan.

:bluejump: :redjump: :bluejump: :redjump: :yes:Quote:
Close on heels with the success of Thamirabarani, Director Hari is all geared up to take on his next project Vel where Surya will play the lead role. He appeared to be an excited man after the prayer offerings at Thiruchendur Murugar temple, his customary practice before every journey into filmi endeavor.
While talking about star cast of Vel, Hari states that Asin will play the love interest of Surya and in addition, the lead pair will be supported by Nasser, Vadivelu and twenty five other artists. Vel will be produced by Raja Kaliamman media works and Yuvan Shankar Raja is set to score music. Priyan will be responsible for cinematography.
The story will have all entertainment factors like comedy, action, romance and family sentiment. The shooting is scheduled to commence on the 23rd May and will hit the theatres for 2007 Diwali. Like his all earlier films, Vel also will be filmed in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu in Tirunelveli, Amba Samudram, Pollachi, Dindugal and Karaikudi. Hari also added that though his films appear flamboyant, he always works towards keeping the budget under check.
Looks like good time is back for Surya both his movies are getting underway.Hopefull we have a double delight this year.Waiting for VA more then this film.I just don't like the idea of him acting under Hari's direction too many times
