Sandya, who made quite an impact with her acting debut Kadhal, has subsequently grown better at her job with each movie. With her upcoming Odipolama, Irumbukottai Murattu Singam and Nootruku Nooru, Sandya will also boast of a brand new and more urban look. She’s wiping off the final traces of those traditional looks, shedding weight and buying a new wardrobe.

Talking about her soon-to-release Odipolama, she said, “It’s an out and out fun flick with some serious undertones. The story revolves around a young couple who elope. But the twist is that they are not in love! So why do they elope? Well, that’s what you’ll have to find out when the movie releases.”

Tattoo-Tattoo Trisha!

Pretty girl Trisha has changed her flavor now! A couple of years before our slim lady Trisha was inspired by the cute little fish Nemo from the film ‘Finding Nemo’. She wore the cute tattoo of Nemo at a very special place. Trisha got her tattoo done at Irezumi, in Chennai and started showing off this tattoo in her movie ‘Kireedam’.

Looks like this fish tattoo had become old so, the actress has done a tattoo of a colourful butterfly on the same place. This happened when the girl was there in US for the shoot of Goutham Menon’s ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’. Trisha had inked her special place again with a temporary tattoo.

Now we can have a Darshan of the beauty’s new fashion icon in her forthcoming ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ opposite Silambarasan and ‘Khatta Meeta’ opposite Akshay Kumar.

Ouch…a painful beauty do indeed!

Vadivelu – Santhanam galatta in Malaysia

As well, the Government of Malaysia permitted them to shoot at an unique place ‘Buddha Jaya’ and this is the first film in world to be shot over there.

As well Jeyam Raja cannot stop singing praises of Vadivelu and Santhanam. Usually, Vadivelu doesn’t sign the projects that have comedy actors with more or equal values of him. But this time, he was spotted freaking out with Santhanam and Raja says, “We cannot forget the wonderful moment we shared with the duo has they brought down the roofs with their laugh-riot…”

Prabhu Deva – “I never recommended Nayan”

Choreographer-actor turned filmmaker Prabhu Deva is so infuriated with media channels publishing news about him recommending Nayanthara in various films. Earlier, it was mentioned that Prabhu Deva was resent by Salman Khan and Jeyam Ravi when he urged them to pair with Nayanthara.

With an effort of clearing the buzzes, Prabhu interacted with media channel saying that he has no ideas about directing any Hindi films as of now. Because it’s not an easy task to make a film if you’ve delivered a hit and reasserts that he never recommended Nayan for any projects.
