Bharath injured in 'Vaanam' Shoot Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2010 | 0 comments

Bharath who was shooting in Hyderabad for the multistarrer Vaanam was injured while doing a risky action scene without any dupe. In Vaanam , Bharath plays an aspiring rock star and after seeing the Telugu original Vedam, he just loved it and wanted to be a part this multistarrer in which he shares screen space with Silambarasan, Anushka and Sneha Ullal.

Bharath who joined the unit on August 6 was shooting an action scene where he jumped off a 40 feet cliff without any dupe. This gave him more confidence and he convinced director Krish that he will do the chasing scenes himself. In a scene where he comes opposite to a running jeep, he had to crash into the vehicle and break the glass. Bharath did the scene in the first take but cut his right hand badly that he was rushed to the hospital for first aid and came out with three stitches.

Later Bharath told “It was a mad rampage scene and though I ended up with stitches, it has come out so well that Krish and the entire unit were so happy. Now I am back in Chennai to take rest for two days before joining the Yuvan Yuvathi unit in Pollachi”

Sneha Ullal joins for Vaanam Posted on Thursday, July 22, 2010 | 0 comments

Again on Silambarasan. Silambarasan film 'Vaanam' is making the news from the launch date. One of the news was that Anushka refused to do the film with Silambarasan but finally agreed to do an item number. Another was Lingusamy accusing Silambarasan for delaying his film because Silambarasan has started to shoot for ‘Vaanam’ ahead of his film. Another was the debate over if Anushka had refused who will be the heroine of ‘Vaanam’. ‘Vaanam’ is the Tamil remake of super hit Telugu film 'Vedam'

Silambarasan has got his heroine. He has chosen Sneha Ullal to be his heroine in ‘Vaanam’. Sneha Ullal was introduced by Salman Khan in Hindi after he broke up with Aishwarya Rai. The only reason Salman had to launch Sneha Ullal was that she looked like Aishwarya. But her career in Hindi was a flop and so like all drop outs she looked towards south. In Telugu she is doing fairly well. Sneha Ullal is one of the heroines of the recent Telugu box office hit 'Simha' starrig Balakrishna.

Now she is coming to Kollywood through Silambarasan. Sneha Ullal plays the sex worker role played by Anushka in the original. STR and Sneha Ullal will start shooting their portions from July 24 in Chennai.

Actor Bharath  seems to be a busy man these days. Apart from shooting in full swing for Perarasu's Thiruthani and GNR Kumaravel's Yuvan Yuvathi, the actor has now landed a plump role in the Simbu- Anushka starrer Vaanam, directed by Krish.

The film is a remake of the hit Telugu film Vedam by the same director and had Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu and Anushka in the lead. According to reports, Anushka and Manoj were to reprise their roles in the Tamil version as well, with Simbu playing the lead instead of Allu Arjun.

But actor Simbu, who's in Mumbai, recording for his Podaa Podi, had tweeted, "Manoj is not able to do the role, it's going to be Bharath." Sources close to the unit also confirmed the news saying Bharath will be joining the unit in August.

Bharath in ‘Vaanam’ with Silambarasan Posted on Saturday, July 17, 2010 | 0 comments

The calls for multi starrer movies in Tamil are being taken seriously and two young super stars have belled the cat. Silambarasan and Bharath are the innovative young stars who have turned a new leaf in the history of contemporary Tamil cinema.

Bharath has agreed and been signed as the other hero in the recently launched movie ‘Vaanam’ which has Silambarasan playing one of the lead roles. ‘Vaanam’ is the Tamil remake of the much acclaimed Telugu film ‘Vedam’. Apparently it was Silambarasan who had called Bharath to do the role played by Manoj in the original Telugu version. A happy Bharath says he loved ‘Vedam’ and so immediately agreed when Silambarasan called.

With the young guns showing the way will the industry change for the better? Even biggies like Sarath Kumar, Arya have recommended multi starrer films to bring back the people to theatres. ‘Vaanam’ started rolling from last week has Anushka playing the female lead. The film is directed by Krish. Nirav Shah is the cameraman and Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director.

Anushka is not Simbu’s heroine in ‘Vaanam’! Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 | 0 comments

When a lot of buzz is going on Simbu’s new project ‘Vaanam’  which was launched a few days back and also about the heroine who is going to pair with him in this film, there is a new story among some other film sources that Anushka is not the heroine in the film and she is only doing an item number in the film.

‘Vaanam’ is the remake of latest Telugu hit film ‘Vedam’ that has Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, Anushka, Manoj Bajpai, Lekha Washington and others in the lead roles which is directed by Krish. The Tamil version is produced by B Ramesh and ‘VTV’ Ganesh and will have music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Sources also say that Anushka first refused to do the same character in Tamil version but Tamil versions requested her at least to do an item number in the film. Anushka who is not interested to that also has demanded the producer’s huge amount thinking of that they will reject her but as they agreed to pay the amount, no option has left for Anushka and agreed to do the item song.

Then there arises a question that if Anushka is not Simbu’s heroine who will be getting that role? Stay tuned for detailed announcements very shortly.
