On the film, Sanjay said in an interview with the Deccan Chronicle, “The title is very relevant to the story. Harish plays an automobile guy who believes in astrology. He has certain goals in life and like how an arrow from the bow hits its target, he is very focused to achieve them. Apparently, he faces a few hitches and how he overcomes them forms the crux.

KollywoodMusic composer Sam Cs wanted a unique voice for ‘Siddhar Song’ and opted for Vijay Sethupathi.Digital NativeDigital NativeVijay Sethupathi, who is on a roll with consecutive hits, has rendered a song for the Tamil film Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum. What is significant about this song is that he has rendered it in sanga Thamizh or ancient Tamil. Reports are that the music composer Sam Cs wanted a unique voice for this ‘Siddhar Song’ and opted for Vijay Sethupathi, who instantly agreed to do it. We hear that he will be rendering the monologue part of the song and Harish Kalyan would continue with the rest. Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum is directed by Ranjith Jayakodi and stars Harish Kalyan and Shilpa Manjunath as the lead pair. The first look poster of the film featuring the lead pair did go viral already and now we hear that the hero plays an angry young man in it.

KollywoodThe film also stars Ma Ka Pa Anand and Bala Saravanan in important roles.Digital NativeDigital NativeBasking in the success of Pyaar Prema Kadhal, which has been received very well, actor Harish Kalyan is ready with his next film. The yet-untitled project will be directed by Ranjith Jeyakodi, who had previously directed the thriller Puriyatha Puthir with Vijay Sethupathi. According to a report by Times of India, Harish plays a biker as well as boxer in this film. The film has been extensively shot in Chennai and Ladakh, and it also stars Shilpa Manjunath as the leading lady. Talking to Times of India, Ranjith said: “My first film, Puriyatha Puthir, was a thriller. But this one is an out-and-out romantic project. However, I have not approached the film in a stereotypical manner. Doing away from his chocolate boy image, Harish plays a stubborn guy in this film. He is a boxer as well as biker.

KollywoodThe film has four female leads, all of them transient characters.Anjana ShekarDirector Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi took a five-year break before releasing her second film - Kaali. While her first film was a romantic comedy, this one’s a potpourri of genres. There’s action, drama, romance, comedy, and a good dose of suspense. The makers also launched a 7-minute preview of the film prior to its release, so the premise of the film was revealed even before it hit the screens. Bharath, played by Vijay Antony, is a successful doctor in the Us who runs his own hospital. The film, in fact, begins with a dream sequence in a village field. A toddler is in the way of a bull that’s been scared by a snake and is charging down the field. As the mother runs to save her child, the dream is interrupted. While Bharath is only vaguely concerned at first, the truth that he’s actually an adopted son leads him to ponder the dream further and what it could possibly mean. This sets him off on a search that might sound vaguely similar to the Oscar-nominated film Lion. But, the similarities stop here. Kaali is in every way an Indian film and the number of flashbacks the film has is proof enough. Prior to its release, Kiruthiga had said that women writing scripts will improve how roles are written for women actors but there's very little evidence of that in Kaali. To begin with, the four female leads in the film have minimal screen time and although they push the story forward, they leave only a fleeting impression on the audience. While this is still understandable, dialogues like ‘udane love panrava vena emathuva, romba naal alaya vittu love panra paaru, ava ematha maata’ (a girl who immediately accepts your love might leave you and go, but a girl who lets you wait for long and then accepts your love will not leave you) and ‘amma yaaru nu theriyama visaricha paravalla, appa yaaru nu visaricha nalla irukadhu’ (it is all right if one doesn’t know who his mother is but it is not nice if one were to go asking who his father is) are entrenched in patriarchal ideas and come off disappointing. Yogi Babu does a great job with the delivery of his comic lines and although it's not a laughter fest, at least they don't leave us cringing. Vijay Antony has evolved in his acting skills and the film gives him plenty of meat to prove his mettle. The film’s background score is appreciable and so are the stunt sequences. Amritha Aiyer and Shilpa Manjunath, both debut actors, have done a fairly good job with whatever limited screen time they could get. Anjali flits in and out through the film and Sunaina has very little to do to leave an impact. All the women, invariably fall in love with the people they are meant to. The film’s sound team has done a good job, especially during the action scenes. Kaali does not rush through at all and the screenplay can seem like a stretch at some point. Except for the preposterous sequence of events that build up to the climax, the film is a well-packed drama.

KollywoodStarring Vijay Antony, the film also has Anjali and Sunaina.Tnm StaffDigital NativeWhile film producers and directors are extremely wary of leaks ahead of their film’s release, director Kiruthiga has gone ahead and put out the first seven minutes of her upcoming thriller Kaali. Actor and music director Vijay Antony, who is the film’s producer/music director/lead actor, shared the link to the video on his Twitter page. #Kaali 1st 7minutes https://t.co/Z4JYs0V0ek — vijayantony (@vijayantony) May 15, 2018 The film’s sneak-peek offers a good insight on what the story is going to be. Bharath, the film’s protagonist, is a doctor in the Us who has his own hospital. While he is successful, he is plagued by a recurrent dream that has a bull, snake and a woman. While Bharath is only vaguely concerned at first, the truth that he’s actually an adopted son leads him to ponder further on the dream and what it could possibly mean. As any plotline would have it, Bharath is curious to know the meaning of the dream now and plans to visit India to find out about his childhood. He assures his adoptive parents that he’d be back in a week and flies down to India. The video ends with him entering a child-care centre. The film’s premise, without giving away too much, is interesting enough to draw audiences to the theatre. The clip that was released on Youtube has gained over 9 lakh views so far. Titled Kaasi in Telugu, the film will hit the screens on May 18. The film also stars Anjali, Sunaina, Amritha, Shilpa Manjunath, Yogi Babu, Madhusudan, Nassar and Jayaprakash in pivotal roles. Richard M Nathan is the cinematographer and Lawrence Kishore is the editor. Kiruthiga had previously directed the 2013 film Vanakkam Chennai, starring Shiva and Priya Anand in the lead, while Vijay Antony was last seen in the family drama Annadurai.

KollywoodDirected by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, Kaali stars Vijay Anthony in the lead role with Anjali and Sunaina playing the heroines.Digital NativeDigital NativeEarlier, film distributor William Alexander had filed a petition at the Madras High Court for an interim stay on the release of the Vijay Anthony starrer Kaali and according to latest reports, this stay has been lifted. Incidentally, the film has been produced by Vijay Anthony’s wife Fatima Vijay Anthony under the banner Vijay Anthony Film Corporation. According to the complainant, William Alexander, Vijay Anthony sold the distribution rights of Annadurai for a huge price but it bombed at the box office. This resulted in a huge loss to the complainant following which Vijay Anthony promised to hand over the distribution rights of Kaali for a lesser amount but it later turned out that it was sold to another distribution without his knowledge. This forced William Alexander to file a petition seeking compensation to the tune of Rs 4.73 crores. The Bench, on hearing the case, ordered the stay to be lifted on the condition that Vijay Anthony furnishes a bank guarantee for the sum in the name of Registrar General of the High Court towards the amount of the civil suit which is pending adjudication before it in the matter. Also, the court held that the interim stay shall be vacated automatically if Vijay deposits in the court a sum of Rs 4.73 crores. Directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, Kaali stars Vijay Anthony in the lead role with Anjali and Sunaina playing the heroines and Amritha, Shilpa Manjunath, Yogi Babu, Madhusudan, Nassar and Jayaprakash in pivotal roles. Besides playing the hero, Vijay Anthony has also composed music for this venture while Richard M Nathan is the cinematographer and Lawrence Kishore is the editor. Kiruthiga had previously directed the 2013 film Vanakkam Chennai, starring Shiva and Priya Anand in the lead, while Vijay Antony was last seen in the family drama Annadurai. The plan was to release the film in March but had to be postponed due to the film industry strike. (Content provided by Digital Native)...
