Leading Tamil-Telugu actress Trisha seems to have changed her mind over sporting a bikini on screen!
Sources insist that Trisha, who earlier declined bikini acts, has agreed to sport a two piece swimsuit for the first time in her career for her forthcoming Telugu remake of Malayalam blockbuster Bodyguard, which was made in Tamil as Kaavalan.
Notably, the original version does not have a bikini act, but the actress has agreed to don a bikini to keep an edge over her competitors, it is said. Reports further claim that the actress has charged an additional amount of Rs. 25 lakhs for the bikini act.
Starring Victory Venkatesh in the lead role, the remake was launched in April and regular shooting is on. It is directed by Gopichand Malineni and produced by Bellamkonda Suresh under the banner of Sai Ganesh Productions.
After a brief gap, Subramaniapuram fame Swathi aka Colours Swathi in Tollywood is back in Tamil. Swathi will be playing one of the five leads in director-actor Samuthirakani's directorial venture Porali, starring his friend and actor-director Sasikumar in the lead.
Confirming this news, director Samuthirakani said Swathi will play a bubbly slum dweller who speaks pucca local Tamil. Sources said that Anjali and Trisha were initially considered to play this role, but they could sign the project for various reasons.
The director said Porali is the story of five people. "The film revolves around the characters played by Sasikumar, Tollywood hero Allari Naresh, Swathi, Vasundhara and another girl, and will be narrated in a flashback mode," he added. Swathi was last seen in Tamil playing a cameo as Jai's wife in Kanimozhi.
Superstar Rajinikanth, who was admitted in a hospital last week for bronchitis and fever, has been discharged today. However, the doctors have advised him to take rest at least for two weeks. Sources close to his family said that the actor may leave to a cooler place for a short holiday. Rajni also visited Goddess Kalikambal temple and the Pamban Swamigal Ashram in Chennai to offer prayers. This is the second time the southern Superstar was hospitalized in a week. Earlier, the actor complained about some uneasiness on the sets of his much-hyped film Rana and was rushed to hospital immediately.
We wish our Superstar a speedy recovery!

Music: Harris Jayaraj
Cinematography: Nirav Shah The moment a girl proposes ‘I Love You’, you’ll find Kamal (Jayam Ravi) vaporizing into thin air. That’s his policy – ‘No Commitments’, ‘No Pain’, ‘Let’s enjoy the life’. But Kayalvizhi is a pure-filmy gal wanting to be a Cinderella and waits for her Mr.Prince.
‘Engeyum Kadhal’ as the title suggests the entire film is set in backdrops of Paris, often ennobled as ‘Romantic Capital of World’. You’ll find millions of lovers flocking around the city filled with some beliefs over banking their hopes on God and Goddess of Love. Produced by AGS Entertainments, the film is marketed and released by Sun Pictures. The film has Jayam Ravi and Hansika Motwani in lead roles with Prabhu Deva experimenting with the genre of ‘Romance’ for the first time.
The songs by Harris and the sizzling teasers by Sun Pictures was worthy enough to keep us awaited on the film, thereby raising our expectations. But then, as you walk out of theatres, it’s gonna be a Déjà vu feeling for most of us.
12 months of hard work and a month meant for gratifying his pleasures, things work for Kamal (Jeyam Ravi) this way while for a beautiful cello player Kayalvizhi (Hansika), she believes ‘Love’ is a pure emotion and it’s something divine. Poles apart, isn’t? But the filmmaker Prabhu Deva sticks to ‘SJ Suryah’ formula of making it clear that it’s a film about these chalk-n-cheese personalities falling in love with each other.
But how it’s gonna be? Find you if you want to over the screens.
Jeyam Ravi doesn’t emote to the demanded levels. Well, we ought to accept that the tall fair actor looks pretty, but could have paid more attention for a perfect shot. Hansika Motwani exhibits a below average performance while her looks are stunning. Thanks to make-up artist, cinematographer Nirav Shah and Prabhu Deva for taking special interests. Raju Sundaram tries tickling our funny bones, specifically for the ones belonging to ‘C’ centres. Suman as a dad-detective makes an impressive performance.
Nirav Shah’s cinematography and picturing of songs are done on par with excellence. Watch out for the songs ‘Nangai’, ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ and ‘Dhimu Dhimu’ that have best choreography and cinematography. The screenplay doesn’t work at best as most of the moments happen to be sluggish. There are no conflicts, except the ‘Ego’ factor we experience in almost all the films.
On the whole, ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ leaves us out with a mere disappointment as we walk out of theatres.
