Thupaki’ to re-start from Feb 20
The shooting of Vijay’s next ‘Thupaki’, which came to a halt following a war
of words between the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) and Film Employees
Federation of South India (FEFSI), is set to get a re-start.
“Shootings of many films, including Thupaki, faced a hurdle due to the
tussle. Now that the issue is expected to be settled thanks to the intervention
of government, work on movies would commence soon. It has been planned to
re-start Thupaki on February 20,” sources say.
Produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu, ‘Thupaki’ is being directed by AR Murugadoss.
Some important portions of the movie were being shot in Mumbai, when the wage
row between the producers and workers hit a new low and the shooting was
disrupted.
Kajal Aggarwal is playing Vijay’s love interest in this action-adventure.
“From February 20, the shooting will commence again in Mumbai. After the
schedule, the cast and crew will leave for foreign locations,” add
sources.

I really don’t sing that well: Dhanush
They don’t call him the YouTube darling for nothing, hardly 72 hours after
his second ‘viral’ video surfaced on the video-streaming site; ‘Kolaveri’
Dhanush seems to be sitting on the next potential ‘biggest’ thing on
cyberspace.
He was approached by health-drink Boost for a video on Sachin Tendulkar and
being a huge fan himself, he roped in his trusted aide Anirudh Ravichander for
the music and also brought in Anushka Shetty— the prettiest thing in Kollywood
right now — for the glamour and fun quotient.
We caught up with the young superstar while he was in Tirupati, and his now
famous brand of humility, much inspired by his infamous father-in-law, had us
chatting non-stop about everything under the sun.
“I am thankful for the kind of popularity I have been getting across the
country and I must say, that when I do stop to breathe and let it all sink it,
it’s far too overwhelming to truly and completely comprehend. It’s just been
magic, these last few months,” Dhanush says.
Rumours were running wild a few days ago about a possible visit to Bangalore
and so we enquire. “I am coming to Bangalore this Sunday and will perform
Kolaveri Di for the first time in the city… but the concert is not about me, I
am just accompanying Anirudh. Also, I really want to warn my fans, that I do not
sound half as good in real, so don’t be too hard on me,” he says.
This will be the first time Bangalore will witness the actor live in
performance and the fan clubs in the city are promising full attendance. We move
on however, quickly throwing numbers at him, talking about how immensely popular
his videos are on YouTube. “The videos for Three are trending and how! I think
the last time I checked, a video, which is just the audio and a few stills from
the film, for the song Po Nee Po, had close to 5,00,000 clicks and that’s a lot
for just an audio track,” adds Dhanush.
His latest Anthem for Sachin is no less, the last we checked the video has
been watched more than 4, 96, 000 times, just 24 hours after it was first
uploaded. Now, that’s viral!
Dhanush does not shy away from thanking his wife for all this popularity. He
readily says, “She’s as supportive as a wife and a friend can be, and I am
really sad that I won’t get to spend Valentine’s Day with her this year. It’s
been eight years since we were married and I am still in awe of how much energy
she has. But I guess she understands that now, more than ever, its work over
anything else,” enthuses Dhanush.
Aishwarya, as pretty as she is, has always preferred to stay behind the
camera and Dhanush says, “I respect her decision and I hope to see her as a huge
director some day. I don’t think she has ever wanted to act, and then again,
maybe she shouldn’t either, unless she really wants to. It shouldn’t be just
because other people think she should.”
Satisfied with how the conversation has proceeded, we conclude asking him
about his projects that might unfurl soon and he almost immediately replies,
“You must have heard about Raanjhnaa, my Hindi project with director Aanand L
Rai, so that’s the most exciting project for now — but before that, I plan to
shoot another Tamil film and the details about that, should be out in a few
days.”
Dhanush might have been a superstar only in Tamilnadu for the last few years,
but with each passing day of this year, the actor only seems to be becoming more
popular. We hope to see the national award winning actor in more projects and
wish him all the best for his Bollywood debut.
Watch him live at Tripura Vasini, Palace Ground, on February 12, 7pm
onwards.
