This summer will see the release of some of the most awaited movies in Tamil cinema. Top actors will be battling each other to win the hearts of the cine goers. Competition has never been so stiff. A close look at some of the movies expected to produce fireworks.

"Ayudha Ezhuthu", will be about the lives of three young men played by Surya, Madhavan and Siddharth. Cast opposite them will be Trisha, Meera Jasmine and Esha Deol. Made in Hindi as "Yuva", this movie is one of the biggest bilinguals ever.

Surya stars also in "Perazhagan", directed by Sasi Shankar, under the banner of AVM. He, plays a double role - one as a college student and the other as a hunchback with buckteeth. The second character, as can be imagined, is a comi-tragic role. The man falls in love with a blind girl (Jyotika), who is about to return his love when she regains sight with his help.

Madhavan is the other hero to bag a second film. As the unemployed graduate in "Ethiri", directed by K.S. Ravikumar, he lives up to his title name as the inveterate foe of evil social forces, even while frolicking with heroine Sadha.

Ajith, a real-life racing enthusiast, is playing a reel-life car- driving coach in "Attahasam", the seventh film to be directed by Saran. And he will also be a brawling lord of the street. The makers of the film are counting on the songs composed by Bharadwaj and penned by Vairamuthu to be a mega hit.

Two other movies are Teja directed "Jayram" in Tamil and "Jai" in Telugu and S.J. Surya's "New". This movie is expected to be a bonanza for Simran fans.

"Chaturangam", under Karu Palaniappan's direction, featuring Srikanth and Sonia Aggarwal is already making waves with its unusual promotion strategy. Srikanth plays a journalist in this movie with Sonia as his fiance.
