Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music for the film, which will be released on the 12th of December, falling on Superstar Rajinikanth's birthday who played the original Alex Pandian. The film will be action-packed and will also feature a lot of comedy
The show business is one where looks matter the most and film stars always go the extra mile to make sure that they look as alluring and glamorous as ever. This applies to both the genders and they don’t hesitate to even go under the knife to give that extra edge to their looks. At the end of the day, people pay money to see good looking stars on screen and stars realize that all too well.
As a result, even as they enter the 40s and 50s, stars make sure that their on-screen persona doesn’t show their actual age. Layers of makeup, dyes, wigs, surgeries, chemicals etc. give them what they desire. Younger stars aren’t lagging either as they know that their shelf life in the industry is small and they put in lot of effort and money to get that perfect look. Female stars in particular are under immense pressure to flaunt the perfect ‘hour glass’ structure as Indian film viewers rarely accept a de-glam heroine
Some stars take their on-screen looks to their real lives too and come dressed impeccably and with full makeup even for events and functions. Some others keep their career and personal life aside and come unassumingly without makeup for social events.
But there is the rarest of rare film star who actually comes unassumingly on screen too. God has gifted him / her with such looks and charm that he / she can carry off even a de-glam look sans any makeup. I am talking about one such star who is actually part of the Tamil film industry. He is the Thala to millions of fans around the world and since his 50th film Mankatha, he has decided that he will accept his ageing rather gracefully. Yes, Ajith Kumar, it is.
He rocked his natural ‘salt and pepper’ look in Mankatha and his looks actually floored even young girls as his charm was such. He proved that he is an undisputed star even with all the grey hair on him. In his latest Billa 2, Ajith had to look young as the movie was a prequel and he had to dye his hair.
At the age of 41, he isn’t exactly old but he still feels that it would be apt if he plays his age. So, will the salt and pepper grey hair continue in future too? We aren’t yet aware of his role in his next Vishnuvardhan film but, we can obviously see a greater share of grey and white in his hair compared to his Mankatha days. And in future, the coverage of grey and white is only going to increase as even Thala can’t beat time.
With happening young girls like Tamannah set to be paired with Ajith in his future projects, I would love to see Ajith back to his dark hair days. His face has the same charm, his hair is voluminous, his smile is still sparkling and his manly edge is still enviable. There is so much incentive for him to mask his grey / white hair despite looking good in this avatar too.
When stars much older to him take every effort to carefully dye their hair and mask their signs of ageing, Ajith also has reason to follow suit as commercial cinema is a medium where the hero is expected to look young. Ajith himself will agree that a big mass hero like him can’t keep playing characters which feature him in his 40s like how Mankatha did. The unwritten rules of commercial cinema also result in younger and younger girls coming into cinema and being paired opposite big mass heroes and as a result the lead men also have a big obligation to look young.
Ajith has generally been faulted for carrying some extra pounds which are a direct result of the numerous surgeries due to his racing misadventures. He himself has said that he feels bad when people talk disrespectfully about his weight issues. Still, the effort that he has put to pump iron and obtain the muscular and toned look for the Vishnuvardhan movie is truly applause worthy. This just shows that ‘impossible’ is just a word for Ajith and the effort that he invests in doing his action scenes without any double, is again humbling.
Now, all that remains is for him to get rid of the grey and white, a simple favor indeed. Thala, you are still just 41. It is actually the prime age for a mass hero like you to soar. When we see you with the gorgeous Tamannah in the upcoming commercial entertainer to be directed by Siva, we are sure it will be a splendid pair if you are back to your dashing ‘dark hair’ ways. And with the newfound muscular arms and toned body to add to your smashing face, we are sure you will be a killer.
This is just a humble request from an ardent cinema viewer who has been admiring you for over a decade.

Ajith recently suffered an injury on his leg while attempting a stunt on his own on the sets of the yet to be titled Vishnuvardhan project. Medicos have suggested that the actor undergo a surgery to fix the damage in the ligament of his leg.
But the actor who is on the verge of wrapping up duties for the Vishnuvardhan project has reportedly decided to postpone his surgery to a later period once he completes the project with Siva. Only after Ajith fulfills his responsibilities for both the projects will he go under the knife to repair the damage on his leg. This will mean that the actor will have enough time to recuperate from the surgery without having to jeopardize any ongoing project.
Gautham Vasudev Menon is gearing up for the release of Neethane En Ponvasantham later this month with a slew of interesting promos for the film. The director took some time off from his schedule to attend a Media conclave at a prestigious womens college in Chennai.
During the event, the floor was open to questions which was when an audience member stood up to ask the director when he would do a project with Ajith. The director responded by saying that he was waiting for Ajith to call him for a project and that he would immediately oblige to the actor’s request.
Kamal Haasan wanted a grand multi city audio launch for his ambitious project, Vishwaroopam to take place on November 7th, on his birthday. But the Neelam storm played a spoilsport. Later there have been many rumours about the audio launch happening on different dates.
It’s now official that the audio launch will happen in exactly the same way Kamal had planned, but on a different date. On December 7th, the entire team of Vishwaroopam will be flying to Madurai’s Velammal College Ground in the morning to launch their audio and to Hindustan College grounds, Coimbatore in the afternoon. In the evening a grand launch has been scheduled in Chennai and the venue will be disclosed very soon by the team.
The film has music by Shankar-Eshaan-Loy and Kamal Haasan has produced, directed and acted in the film. Recent newspaper ads have revealed that the film will hit the screens on January 11th, the weekend before Pongal.
Kajal Agarwal has just completed her Thuppaakki and her next is with Karthi’s All In All Azhagu Raja. She is waiting very eager for this movie.
While saying the reason she states “Karthi is a very nice person and he is a jolly person too. In spot we never feel bored or tired while Karthi is with us, even we work for day and night. I like him very much. He is a lucky person too.
His Nan Mahan Alla movie got a very good name for me and I’m waiting for my next success with his in All In All Azhagu Raja”. She adds.
There is a reason behind Simbu’s Vettai Mannan. Lingusami had committedSimbu For his Vettai movie. But as usualSimbu Started saying corrections in the scenes later he changed the whole story and bought and said to do that and it will only match him.
After thinking Lingusamy had changed the her instead of changing story. Later he had placed Arya in the role and done shoot. So with that Simbu had took promise to do his Story in the name of Vettai Mannan and will succeed. All the best STR.
It’s not unusual for artistes, veterans or newbies, to praise Ajith after they work with him in a film. This has been happening for a long time. Now, it’s the turn of Sridevi to shower some praises on the actor. We have already reported about how Sridevi, Balki and Gauri Shinde admired the simplicity and professionalism of Ajith. Now, we hear that the veteran actress has mentioned about her favourite Ajith’s film.
She picked Vaali as Ajith’s best and said that she was bowled over by the performance of the actor. She also mentioned the Suriya starrer Ghajini as one of her favourite films. Though she is settled in Mumbai, she keeps herself updated with the recent Tamil films.
Everybody is fighting over titles nowadays. Even the Thuppakki issue hasn’t died down and now the Sasikumar starrer Sundarapandian has got similar troubles. So Vishnuvardhan has decided to act shrewd and not disclose the title of his next biggie, starring Ajith, Nayanthara, Arya and Taapsee in the lead.
The director has said that he would name the film only after completing the entire project, dismisisng the entire fan made titles as results of over-enthusiasm. The smart Billa maker feels that this strategy of his would work in saving themselves from the few industry persons who are looking for a chance to create title controversies.
STR has been surprised by the sudden constant reports in the media about Manmadhan 2 and that he is working with Anirudh Ravichander in this movie. He has clarified that he has to first complete the script of this sequel.
He has requested his media friends to leave Manmadhan 2 aside for the time being. As of now, he is super busy with films like Podaa Podi and Vaalu. Vettai Mannan would be resumed after the completion of these films.
There are reports that Podaa Podi would be his first release. Gemini Film Circuit is distributing this movie which stars Varalakshmi opposite him. The recent single track and teaser of this flick have pleased STR fans and his toned look has won him extra brownie points.
