Saaho is one of the costliest projects being made on the Telugu screen now. The regular shoot of the film reached the final stages. The latest update is that popular Tamil actor Arun Vijay who is on board to play a crucial role has wrapped up the shooting for his role in the movie. The film unit bid a great good-bye for the talented actor. Arun Vijay too shared his happiness for working with an incredibly hard-working team.

Arun Vijay revealed the news saying, “Its a wrap for me!! #Saaho Happy to have been a part of this incredibly hard working team. Thanks to #Prabhas @sujeethsign @UV_Creations & the rest of da cast n crew for makin this journey a memorable one! Wait for an exhilarating experience in theatres from Aug 15!? C u all..?”

Directed by Sujeeth, the film’s shoot is currently happening in Hyderabad. The movie is scheduled for a grand release on 15th August.

Tamil hero Arun Vijay is currently very much busy shooting for his next films. The actor has been to Dubai and everyone is in an opinion that he has been to the shoot of Saaho. But in fact, the actor has been to the shoot of Nawab which is directed by Mani Ratnam.

We have already reported that Mani Ratnam’s next film is having its shoot in Abu Dhabi. Mani Ratnam is directing a multistarrer this time with Simbhu, Aravind Swamy, Vijay Sethupathi, Arun Vijay, Aditi Rao Hydari, Jyothika and others in the lead roles.

The makers recently completed the Chennai schedule. When Arun Vijay revealed that he is going to Dubai, a lot of fans asked him if it is for Sahoo.

Arun Vijay has given clarity to his fans that he is participating in Nawab shoot which is his final schedule and with which he will be finishing his part for the movie.

On the other side, Arun Vijay’s Kutram 23 is releasing in Telugu with the title ‘Crime 23’.

The cast of Prabhas-starrer Sahoo gets bigger and bigger each day. The latest addition to the action-drama is Malayalam actor Lal. The writer-director, whose last Telugu film was the 2006 release Khatarnak, is making a comeback to Tollywood after almost 11 years!

While it is not known what Lal’s role is yet, given his earlier stint in Telugu films, it is believed that he might play one of the baddies in the film, directed by Sujeeth Sign.

The film, a production of UV Creations, is currently being shot in Hyderabad and already has Neil Nitin Mukesh playing a prime antagonist. Also, Tamil actor Arun Vijay has been roped in to play a key role.

Tamil actor Arun Vijay, who was seen in a spectacular role in Ajith Kumar’s ‘Yennai Arndhaal’, was reportedly booked under drunk and drive case.

Vijay’s car reportedly rammed into a parked police vehicle outside the Nugambakkam police station in Chennai at around 4 AM on August 27. He escaped without any injuries, though. The actor was returning from a wedding reception party. The alcohol level in his blood was found to be above the permissible limit, and a case of drunk and drive has been booked against him under Section 185 of Motor Vehicles Act. His car was seized by the Pondy Bazaar police.

Arun Vijay is the son of veteran actor Vijay Kumar. He started his acting career with “Love Story” and has acted in several Tamil films. He was also seen in Ram Charan’s ‘Bruce Lee’.

Gautham Menon’s Thala 55 is progressing fast and smoothly but that’s not all that is going on at the sets apparently. From the reports we are getting, it seems the cast and crew of the flick are more like a family these days – a very busy family, but a family nonetheless…

And like every family, here too the head of the family donned the role of the chef (for a second time) to feed the rest of the hungry members.

We are talking about Thala Ajith preparing a meal for the entire cast and crew of course! He has been known to do this and did this once before at the very same sets, but this time he had some welcome company – Arun Vijay!

Yes, Arun Vijay, who plays a baddie in the flick, thought it only fit to join the hero in his efforts to fill the stomachs of the rest, and turns out he was very good at it. The meal was prepared and served, and the whole attempt was a success.

In fact, Trisha thanked ‘Chef Ajith’ for satiating the hunger of everybody present on her Facebook page.

Way to go Thala!

Now as far as the filming is concerned, the portions with Ajith, Trisha and Baby Anikha are being shot right now, in and around Chennai. Day before yesterday, some important scenes in a train were canned which involved the three.

Trisha plays Ajith’s wife and Anikha plays their daughter. These, however, form only part of the whole story that has Ajith in varying ages. Anushka plays his leading lady in the other parts. She is set to return to the sets once the portions with Trisha are done.

Harris Jayaraj is the man composing the tunes for the movie while Dan Macarthur is wielding the camera.

The film is aiming for a Diwali release.
