Surya's next to commence in April?

Actor Surya's Anjaan with director N. Lingusamy is progressing at a brisk pace and the expectations on this Surya-Samantha starrer is raising every other day. Before Surya started working with Lingusamy, it was stated that Surya will join with Venkatprabhu and Studio Green, owned by the actor's close relative will be producing the film. Since the commencement of Anjaan, people started guessing that Surya's proposed film with the Biriyani director may be shelved.

But these guesses have to be rubbished as rumors if we have to depend on some interesting details let out by sources close to Studio Green. They say that Venkat Prabhu had started the script work for the Surya film in January in Pondicherry. Currently the director is giving final touches to the script in Chennai and is expected to submit the final draft to Surya very soon. Once the star gives his nod for the script, an official announcement about the cast and crew of the film will be announced and that can be expected within the end of February. The film is also expected to kick start in April.

Sources also say that Surya is super excited about his project with Venkat Prabhu since the director is working on an entirely different script with a new genre tone and tenor. They also assure that the film will not resemble in any way, any of the earlier films of Surya or Venkat Prabhu but definitely satisfy the fan base of both the celebrities.

Simran headed for a strong comeback?

It is well known that Kamalhassan is acting the male lead role in the Tamil remake of Mohanlal starrer Malayalam film Drishyam. The film directed by Jeetu Joseph had Meena playing Lal's wife. The Tamil versions is going to be helmed by the same director and the initial talks about the Ulaganayagan's pair in the film pointed to Meena. Later it was said that Nadhiya will replacey Meena in the Tamil version since the former  has never acted with the Padma Bhushan actor.

Now some other sources reveal that Simran is one of the strong contenders for the role. Soruces also state that Simran has apparently conveyed her wish to pair up with Kamal for the third time after Pammal K.Sambandham and Panchathanthiram. The films released as back to back ventures of the Kamlahassan which lead to rumours linking the two.

Simran's marriage to Deepak Baga put an end to those rumours and in a few years Simran was back to acting. Though she has done a few memorable roles in silver screen like the one in Gautham Menon's Varanam Ayiram her second innings in k-town has not been so successful so far. Hence the actress started concentrating on small screen and is now busy with mega serials and television shows. If she grabs the offer to star in Drishyam Tamil version, it will surely help to stabilise her position in the tinsel world.
