She is shooting constantly for all her upcoming projects, and the recent buzz is that she is going to be seen opposite Siva Karthikeyan in an upcoming Tamil film.

Pon Ram is the director for the yet to be titled film. The shoot of the film is going at a full swing in Ten Kasi. There are reports that heroine has a skin allergy and because of the same, she suffered many times on the sets of her upcoming films. Because of this disease, the actress has been putting conditions to the filmmakers that she is not ready to shoot under the hot sun. These conditions are irking the makers, but they are not in a state to do anything about it.

Samantha is also acting in a Telugu film Rangasthalam opposite Ram Charan. She is going to get marry with actor Naga Chaitanya in October this year.

Plump beauty Namitha has been busy with some low profile character roles. Now she got a golden chance to get back into the limelight.

Actress Namitha with many several reasons has lost her charm. Despite growing as a star actress, she went to politics after turning a bit chubby. She is now doing some variety roles in Tamil and Kannada flicks. Now she was approached for a career-turning role in hero Siva Karthikeyan new flick. Director Ponaram who is known for creating unique characterisations for his actors on par with the hero is now collaborating with Siva Karthikeyan for his next. In this flick, the sister character of hero has very high scope for performance. For this role, Makers finalized Namitha. Excited Namitha immediately accepted the offer by giving her dates. Namitha actually rejected the characters of sister and mother but the script of this flick which was narrated by Ponaram changed her mind.

As of now, she is working for the flick Bottu in Tamil. She will be seen as a witch in this thriller. Hope this movie gives her much needed fame.

Siva Karthikeyan and director Ponram are joining hands yet again for an interesting and upcoming Tamil film and the buzz is that Samantha has been roped in to play the heroine in the film. This film will be another commercial entertainer like that of his earlier ones and Samantha is pairing up for the first time with Siva Karthikeyan. The film is set in a semi-urban area and Samantha will be a girl from that locality. The role Samantha is now playing is completely new, and she has not done it in the past.

The film will have all the commercial elements and most importantly, it is learnt that there will be a heavy dose of action to it. 24 AM Studio is bankrolling the project, while D Imman is composing the music. This film is expected to go on floors in January 2017.

Remo is an upcoming Tamil romantic comedy film written and directed by Bhagyaraj Kannan. The film features Sivakarthikeyan and Keerthy Suresh in the leading roles. Music composed by Anirudh and cinematography by P. C. Sreeram, the film began production during October 2015. The movie is produced by 24 AM studios and directed by Bakkiaraj Kannan.

Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film Remo seems to be getting a lot of appreciation from people who are working in the film. The director is also acting in the movie. Sivakarthikeyan’s Remo was to have revealed their first look sometime during the first week of June. But owing to Kabali fever, Remo team had pushed their dates.

Sivakarthikeyan starrer Remo will soon be ready for release. The film has completed shooting and is in its post-production phase. Producers 24 AM Studios took to their official Twitter handle to inform, “World’s Prestigious Oscar Award & golden reel award winner India’s Proud @resulp starts #REMO dubbing today at10.30am” on June 16.

Now RD Raja of 24 AM Studios who is bankrolling this venture has announced through Twitter that the first look and title music will be released on the 23rd June. The tweet reads, “Official launch of @24AMSTUDIOS and its maiden venture #REMO’s FL&TITLEMUSIC Release Event on 23rd June,2016,6pm”.

3, Ethir Neechal, Maan Karate and Kaakki Sattai are Sivakarthikeyans’ films that Anirudh has scored music, and the songs have always been chartbusters. Remo will be the fifth film for this duo, and there are huge expectations for this album.

This is one of the latest pieces of speculation floating around Kollywood, and the reason is simple. Sivakarthikeyan was not seen at Dhanush’s birthday party, which was held a few days ago, and this was noted by many as a sign that the two are having some personal issues right now.

The reason many claimed was possibly a war of the egos, which manifested after Siva’s Maan Karaate became a success and he became legitimate competition for Dhanush.
So recently, after this news began surfacing here and there, Sivakarthikeyan decided to speak up and clarify on the matter once and for all. And what did he have to say? The answer stunned many!

He explained that not only was he at the party, he arrived early and – get this – stayed until the very end, which was almost 4 am. He simply was not in any of the photos the media got a hold of!

Now that is just ridiculous how simply not being in a few pictures got translated in to a personal grudge with another person.

Well, what can we say except that the media does tend to be a little eager to jump to conclusions sometimes…

And about the supposed ego clash between them? Sivakarthikeyan’s reply to this too was a revelation.

“Dhanush has been in the industry for over 14 years now. The success he has had and the things that he has experienced, they are on a different level altogether… Not just in terms of box office figures, but in terms of the reputation and respect he has earned, I will never be on par with him,” said the ever so humble Sivakarthikeyan.

Now that should sufficiently take the sting out of such rumours in the future…

Lakshmi Menon is busy, busy, busy these days and with her latest release Jigarthanda getting a phenomenal response too, the starlet is golden in the business. She is currently shooting for the Karthi starrer Komban, and there were also rumours of her entering Tollywood. Oh and let’s not forget she just had a release in Malayalam with the Popular Hero Dileep, titled Avatharam!

Hard to believe the diva is still only 18 years of age! Now that right there is over achievement at its best…

However, it seems all this wasn’t enough for the Kumki girl in terms of keeping herself busy, because we have a new piece of news flying around that Laskhmi will be starring in the female lead in Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming flick Rajini Murugan!

The film is being directed by Ponram of Varuthapadatha Vaalibar Sangam fame, and sources say Lakshmi has been confirmed for the role of the heroine and will join the sets this October.

This development is fresh to anyone who has been keeping tabs on the project, as it was reported earlier that Samantha would Sivakarthikeyan’s girl in the film. Looks like that was unfounded and official sources have slammed it down.

What else do we know about Rajini Murugan? Let us see now.
.
We know that Sivakarthikeyan is playing the titular role and that he is a real estate broker in the flick. Samuthirakani, who just worked with Lakshmi in Jigarthanda and has been getting rave reviews and acclaim for his performance in that, is playing the baddie in the Ponram film.

It has also been confirmed that D Imman will be the man composing the tunes for this project and that Thiruppathi Brothers will the production company involved.

So two rising stars – Sivakarthikeyan and Lakshmi Menon – do we get to see them make some on screen magic together? Let us wait and find out.
