Mayavi temporarily shelved?

It is the hottest report on the circuit.

And it is that Surya-Jyothika starrer Mayavi being produced by Bala has reportedly been shelved. The reasons are known only to the cast and the crew. But none of them is ready to talk. Though one birdie chirped that money aspect could be one of the problems.

Another source pointed out that the protagonists have got better offers elsewhere and hence have decided to concentrate there.

Surya has gone to shoot for Miratal, Jyothika for Chandramukhi and Bala is busy with preparing script for the Ajith starrer Naan Kadavul.

So Mayavi waits in the limbo.

Thirupaachi mocks Thalai again!

Vijay has again inserted "punch" dialogues in Thirupaachi mocking Ajith!

He has been doing this right from Badhri(April 2001) in which there was a dialogue "Evanda un thalai? Vaaloda serthu vettiduven!". Only four months earlier Dheena(January 2001) was released in which Ajith's character was called Thalai.

I think he has started panicking. Ji director Lingusamy has already given two blockbusters but Thirupaachi director Perarasu is a unproven untested newcomer. So this is his cheap gimmick to win.

Ajith, who had starred in hit films like 'Vaali' and 'Citizen' and who is married to Shalini, is now going to star in his new film as a transgender person.
 
Ajith and Nic Arts Chakravarthy were close friends. But in recent past, the two had lot of misunderstandings and they decided to part ways. It now looks as if the two have resolved their disputes and have got together to make a new film.

'Godfather' is the name of the film. Shalini was planning to produce it under her own name. The film stars Ajith in three roles. One of the roles is that of a transgender person. This will be the first time that a Tamil hero is going to play the role of a transgender person. Asin is going to be the heroine of the film.
 

AR Rehman is composing music for the film.

Ajith renamed his fan clubs ('Rasigar Mandram') as service socities ('Natpani Iyakkam'). Speaking to his fans, Ajith said that he was not making any plans to enter politics.
