Exclusive : Most expected biggies of 2009


As known to everybody, 2008 wasn’t a year so successful for the film buffs. Almost all the big stars including Rajnikanth, Vikram, Vijay and Ajith disappointed their fans. On the pars, small budget films that were made without superstars were partially successful. With Sun Pictures releasing the most low profiled films ‘Kadhalil Vizhundhen’, ‘Thennavattu’ and ‘Dindukal Saarathi’, they witnessed grand triumph…

Cinesnacks brings you the exclusive of the most expected films to release in 2009…

Endhiran – Starring Rajnikanth in dual roles, Aishwarya Rai is the female lead while Chakravarthy is performing the baddie role. Director Shankar has been striding to complete the film soon and plans are to release it by December.

Kandasamy – Can’t exactly figure out why Vikram is taking whole lot of time in completing each of his films. Kandasamy started rolling before a year and yet uncompleted. Sources have revealed that film would be hitting screens on May 1, 2009. Directed by Susi Ganesh, Shriya Charan stars opposite Vikram in female lead.

Villu – Vijay’s previous couple of films ‘ATM’ and ‘Kuruvi’ were flops and now the duo combo Prabhu Deva-Vijay is sure about striking gold with ‘Villu’. The promos were released yesterday on all satellite channels and interestingly they’re mindblowing. The film is getting released for Pongal with around 200 prints alone in Tamil Nadu.

ASAL – here goes another duo combo Saran-Ajith Kumar. It was a great triumph with ‘Kadhal Mannan’, ‘Amarkalam’ and ‘Attagasam’. Produced by Sivaji Productions, the combination is anticipated to make a great entertainer. Sameera Reddy pairs up with Ajith Kumar and Harris Jayaraj scores music. The film will start rolling from February end and plans are to release it for Diwali.

Ayan – Getting felicitated with best accolades for ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’, Surya is all set to make it big with K.V. Anand’s ‘Ayan’. K.V. Anand came up with his best debut directorial in ‘Kana Kanden’ and he is sure about making it bigger with Surya. Thamannah is the female lead while Prabhu dons an important character. Harris Jayaraj scores music.

Naan Kadavul – ‘2008 hasn’t been a great year for me as there were none of my release. But I am about this year as Naan Kadavul is set ready for release’ said Aarya during the audio launch of Naan Kadavul yesterday…. Directed by Bala, the film is set at the backdrops of an offbeat theme. With Pooja in female lead, Ilayaraja scores music while plans are to release the film for Pongal.

Sarvam – Followed by grand success of Billa, Vishnuvardhan has taken almost a year to make his next film ‘Sarvam’. Shooting is almost completed and probably Aarya can look out for double cheers this year. Chakravarthy is the baddie over here and Trisha dons female lead and Yuvan Shankar Raja scores music.

Peraanmai – ‘Jeyam’ Ravi who can turn successful without his brother Raja’s combination has better hopes with Director Jananathan’s ‘Peraanmai’. Nevertheless, Hollywood’s super actor Roland Kickinger starring opposite as baddie is something ridiculous. Roland’s forehand is almost the size of Ravi’s face and Just imagine their combination… Ayngaran has produced the film.

Aayirathil Oruvan – A very long time after Pudupettai’s success. Selvaraghavan has completed shooting 99% of the film. Paruthiveeran fame Karthi, Reema Sen, Andrea and Parthiban don important roles in the film. According to the sources, it’s an adventure/fantasy/drama where the story travels from 13th century to this year. G.V. Prakash has scored music and V. Ravindran of Media Valley Entertainment has produced this film.

Ashokavanam – Despites being dubbed ‘Guru’ made great collections here in Tamil Nadu. Ace filmmaker Mani Rathnam is set making bilingual film ‘Ashokavanam’ and ‘Raavana’ in Hindi and Tamil. The Tamil version has Vikram and Aishwarya in lead roles with Prithviraj appearing in negative shades while Prabhu and Karthik have vital roles to play. The Hindi version has Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in female lead and Vikram donning baddie role. A.R. Rahman scores music for the versions while Anil Dirubhai Ambani produces the film.

Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam – Gowtham Menon utters, ‘It may not be so powerful as Vaaranam Aayiram, but it’s a movie that has an interesting theme’. The film deals with group of youngsters working in call centres for night shifts and problems faced by them. Debutant Suresh along with Gowtham assistants’ (most of them are those who played Surya’s friend in Vaaranam Aayiram) dons lead role along with Trisha.
