Vikram is doing a bilingual film Mallanna (Kandhaswamy in Tamil) Sushi Ganeshan is the director. Shriya is the heroine.
The film was supposed to shoot at Kenya, but civil war broke in Kenya. The unit left to Mexico for the further shoot. Mexican Government welcomed the Mallanna team with warm harms.
Now a Mexican girl is playing heroine role opposite Vikram and at the same time Vikram has signed a Spanish film.
Hero Vikram himself announced few days back that he would be doing a film with Bommarillu Bhaskar But now the scene changed after release of Parugu.
As for the filmanagr sources, Vikram who is closely watching the Parugu result at the box office and decided to drop Bhaskar’s film.
As for Kollywood sources, Vikram has signed a film Tamil director K S Ravi Kumar and this film will go on floor from June. After this film, Vikram will do Manirathnam’s film.
So , It doesn’t look like- Vikram and Bhaskar film get materialized.
Vikram’s Mallanna / Kanthaswamy made the headlines right from the day it started. With its inaugural function itself turning out to be a novel affair, many wondered what the director has in store for them.
According to reliable reports, Vikram will be seen in different getups, something on par with Dasavatharam. While the delay in the project is being questioned by many, insiders reveal that they want it to be very different and to the point of perfection, and hence are working slowly towards achieving that goal.
Moreover, this film could be a very important landmark in Vikram’s career. With a few more shots to be canned, the post-production work has already started. It is now said that the team is working hard towards a Diwali release.
Shriya is the heroine and Sushi Ganeshan is the director.
Bommarillu Bhaskar will be directing a film with Hero Vikram. Though hero Vikram is familiar to Telugu audiences, he didn’t act straight Telugu film so far. Bommarillu Bhaskar bagged that chance to direct Vikram in Telugu film by narrating an interesting story line to Vikram.
Chatrapathi Prasad who is close friend of Vikram will be producing the film. Vikram uses Prasad’s car when ever he visits Hyderabad.
Bommarillu Bhaskar is doing a film Parugu with Allu Arjun and the film will hit the screens in the first week of May. And Vikram’s film will begin from June 2008.
‘Bheema’ is the movie that struck Tamil screens for Sankranthi, talk for this flick is not good, in this movie hero, heroine and other important stars die at climax is what is shown, this is resulting in minus marks for the flick. If the same climax is released in Telugu, even our audiences are sure to make it a flop, as such makers are thinking of changing the climax scenes for which again they have to re shoot the sequences. As such this movie was much much delayed due to many reasons, having released it with this outcome need to wait and watch what makers would do, whether they change climax or they release as it is to be seen.
Producer AM Rathnam who made bilingual film Bheema with director Lingu Swami is finally released in Tamil for this Pongal and bagged good hit talk at the box office.
The film was supposed to release in Telugu for the Pongal but it couldn’t release for various problems. Nukarapu bagged the Telugu release rights.
The chemistry between Trisha and Vikram worked out very well and Lingu Swamy’s action formula with romantic touch worked out very well.
Movie Story:-
In Bheema, Vikram plays a man who has, since childhood, idolized Prakashraj, a gangster with a heart of gold. Vikram grows up to become a no-nonsense, street smart, powerful young man. Impressed with his courage, Prakashraj embraces him, inducting him into the gang. And with Vikram as his right hand man, Prakashraj gradually becomes the godfather of the city. He even outrivals his archrival, Raguvaran. Filled with rage, Raghuvaran and his two sons attempt to kill Prakashraj and take back the city. But with Vikram by his side they are unable to touch the newly crowned godfather. Meanwhile, Vikram falls in love with Trisha, and he becomes so lost in love that he loses focus and concentration on the job, nearly threatening the life of his idol. Vikram is now forced to choose between work and love. What Vikram will choose forms the rest of this tale.
This Pongal, Trisha along with Vikram will attempt to recreate the Saamy magic with Bheemaa, a film which sees Harris Jayaraj composing the music for a Vikram film for the fifth time.
“I am basically the entertainment in the film. Bheemaa is a very realistic and serious film. So, when this girl comes into every frame, it brings a lot of joy, happiness and comedy. That is the break the film will need,” said Trisha.
Across the border, Trisha has a Sankranti release as well Krishna with Ravi Teja.
Trisha says she is slowly coming out of the phase where every Tamil and Telugu filmmaker wanted her to play a village belle after the success of films like Nuvvostavante and Varsham.
“In Tamil, after Saamy, because it became such a big hit, people wanted to see me like that for a while. It was the same in Telugu with Varsham because it was also the role of a village belle. So filmmakers thought it will work. That is also important, because people like that homely image and you relate the B & C centres immediately,” said Trisha.
Year 2007 saw Trisha give a superhit with Venkatesh in Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Veruley and her Kireedam in Tamil with Ajith won critical acclaim.
With films like Bheemaa and Kuruvi lined up for release in the first half of 2008 this former Miss Chennai, is surely a star you cannot miss in the New year.
After more than two years of absolutely no releases, and the fact that his previous releases had flopped badly at the box office, Vikram finally has reasons to celebrate.
It was soon after the ‘Majaa’ fiasco that he launched his ‘Bheema’. The film ran into one delay after the other and took its own sweet time to get ready. Vikram said that it was because perfection takes time. Finally, on the 31st of December 2007, the film got its censor certification.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film are going to be released on Shankranthi day, this year.
Trisha is the heroine. Harris Jayaraj had composed the film’s music. They had already made their way to the top of the charts and have now started to slip away too.
We wish Vikram the best with the new film.
