Simbhu’s Osthi #release date: 26th October

Simbhu starrer Osthi has now joined the Diwali race by getting released on 26th October, 2011. Yes, Osthi will lock horns with the other biggies like Suriya’s 7am Arivu, Vijay starrer Velayudham and Dhanush starrer Mayakkam Enna.

It is known that Osthi is the remake of Salman Khan’s blockbuster hit Dabangg which has the right potential to click at the Box-Office. Richa Gangopadhyay has stepped into Sonakshi Sinha’s shoes for the leading lady role in the film.

Confirming the news, actor STR said, “Osthi is releasing for Diwali. Entire talkie part of the film has been wrapped up except for few portions of songs. We feel it’s the right time to release the film for festive audiences.”

Osthi is directed by Dharani and produced by Ramesh and Mohan Apparao under the banner of Balaji Real Media. Thaman is rendering the tunes.

Mayakkam Enna enters into the Diwali race!

Looks like Dhanush - Richa Gangopadhyay starrer 'Mayakkam Enna' has seen a change in its release date and has now joined the Diwali bandwagon that already has three biggies lined up namely Suriya's '7aum Arivu', Vijay's 'Velayudham' and Silambarasan's 'Osthi'.

Incidentally, Richa Gangopadhyay is going to debut into Tamil cinema through two films at a go! Considering both her films are raving good expectations among fans, she is definitely going to make a mark in Tamil cinema through her very debut, due to the contrast of characters she plays in both the films.


'Mayakkam Enna' directed by Selvaraghavan has Dhanush, Richa and Sunder Ramu in the lead roles and is a breezy entertainer, that is not just a love story but also on friendship and the day to day problems a youth faces.

The film has its tunes composed by GV Prakash and the music was unveiled at a radio station in the city recently. The songs have set a rage among the young due to its colloquial lyrics, especially 'Oda Oda Dhooram...' crooned by Dhanush.

As the title suggests dreamy love, we'll have to wait to know if the movie will smitten audiences as well.

Difficult to title film in Tamil - Selvaraghavan

When asked Selvaraghavan that how is film was titled Mayakkam Enna, he said, " To tell the truth I did not get a title that suited the story. My whole brain was burning. Then one day while I was driving my car, I happened to listen to one of the Shivaji sir’s song. There I caught this title. It is very difficult to title a film in Tamil.

There is a question that whether Dhanush in this film is for the sake of the story or convenience. There is no convenience in this. In fact, if there is a debutant actor, he will not go anywhere.
You can extract the work as per our whims and fancies. But Dhanush is now a popular. I have to wait for his call sheet. Hence Dhanush is in this film for the sake of the story and not for convenience. The audience in the theatre should forget themselves in the story. That is important. There is no need of exotic locations or high budgets. It is enough if the story happens within the four walls. The film which is being made for commercial purposes will not succeed. My next film will have Arya and Anushka in the lead role."

Mayakkam Enna - Selva plans for Telugu Remake

Director Selvaraghavan is in plans of making Mayakkam Enna soon in Telugu. His earlier outings like 7G Rainbow Colony and Aayirathil Oruvan proved to be successful at the box office.

The director was quizzed during the audio launch whether he will be dubbing Mayakkam Enna in Telugu; he replied that he might remake the film in Telugu. The film is said to be a romantic thriller which features Dhanush, Richa and Sundar Ramu in the lead roles while Mathivanan Rajendran, Pooja Balu, Soni Barring, Rajiv Choudhry and others play supporting roles.

Music scored by GV Prakash is gearing up to hit the stores yesterday and the response for the songs is outstanding.

It looks like an announcement is in the offing!
