There are lots of funs, emotions, love, music and entertainment, which I believe are the ingredients that everyone in theatres love to get relished with. I am thankful to Prabhu Deva sir for giving me an opportunity to work with him again. His energy is irresistible and I am sure he is sure to enchant us all as in first part. Tamannaah has done a fabulous job in this film. She was so conscious about the way audience loved her performance in the first part and she wanted to give a best show than the first one.

A ‘STAR’ is defined by the choices that one makes upon unique scripts that are blended with entertainment factors and the consistency in releases. In this context, Sivakarthikeyan has been nurturing his career graph with back to back projects. While his upcoming film ‘Mr. Local’, which is highly expected as family entertainer for summer is scheduled for May 1 release, the shooting of his tentatively titled SK 14, a fantasy entertainer is happening on full swing. During this interim, Sivakarthikeyan’s new film ‘HERO’ has been launched this morning (March 13) with a simple ritual ceremony. The film is directed by PS Mithran and is produced by Kotapadi J Rajesh of KJR Films.

Producer Kotapadi J Rajesh says, “We at KJR Studios are extremely happy over launching this project. As a producer, I am totally excited to work with a team that is so much illustrious for its spectacular qualities. It’s hard to find an actor, who entertains with commercial ingredients and at the same time spearheads with newfangled story premises. Absolutely, Sivakarthikeyan has been proving his brilliance decorously in both the zones. His generous style of juggling between commercial and phenomenal scripts has carved him a successful status as an a star. When it comes to “Hero”, it will definitely prove to be a unique and different experience for the audience for its appealing theme laced with commercial package. To team up with Action King Arjun sir is a dream come true and I am personally looking forward to a great experience of working with him. With young, talented and beautiful actresses like Kalyani Priyadarshan and Ivana getting onboard, it’s definitely going to be an additional mileage to our film.”

Talking about the director PS Mithran, he adds “PS Mithran has already proved his proficiency as a filmmaker with his previous outing ‘Irumbuthirai’. When he met me for the script narration, I felt there could be at least few traces of erstwhile film. However, I was spellbound to come across a completely different and new one, which looked absolutely in contrast to his former movie. As an audience, I could visualize the freshness and engagement in many places.”

Sivakarthikeyan’s “Hero” has musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography handled by George C Williams with Ruben on editing.

Director Ranjit Jeyakodi about Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum
Directors who had excelled beyond expectations predominantly arrive with the air filled with love. Directors like Gautham Vasudev Menon and Selvaraghavan are the classic examples for this.

Director Ranjit Jeyakodi more or less had sealed his place in this category of Next Gen directors by showing plenty of promise in the forth coming release “Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum” that had created huge expectations through the most intriguing trailer that is seen this year. The film slated for release on the 15th of this month is said to be creating huge expectations and the testimonial evidence to the same is the increasing demands to screen the film by the exhibitors.

Director Ranjit Jeyakodi prefers to share a few inputs on the film. He says ” As a director, I had posted immense faith in the script and my lead actors. I am happy the way ‘Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum’ has been shaped up and the end product pleases me. I can say Harish Kalyan and Shilpa Manjunath are perfect for Gautham-Thara, apart from them Makapa Anand, Balasaravanan play vital roles in the movie, not only the comical part, they are main players in the story.

Ponvannan plays a hero’s father and Panneer Pushpangal Suresh is also there in the movie. Totally ‘Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum’ will be a very connectable movie to all the youngsters with technically something to notice with the works of Cinematographer Kavinraj and SamCS music. It has come out really well. Hope people will enjoy the movie and converse about it when it ends. It is not just another love story, it is a story about love’’

House Owner “A good content oriented film earns it's actors” declares Director Lakshmi Ramakrishnan
There are very few directors who are very conscious to see their films are remembered apart from commercial success. Director Lakshmy Ramakrishnan is one among these rare breeds and her forth coming film “House owner” is said to be a film that has got the equal measure of commercial flavour and thought provoking content. It is to be noted that the actor turned director has earlier done films like Aarohanam and Ammani which were recognised for the brilliant scripts as well as performances. Her current film “House owner” has been receiving extra ordinary reviews after a recent special screening.

The director who is visibly elated shared her views on the film, “What do I have to say more? It is very thrilling to hear such reviews from the people whom I respect much. We were conscious to invite people who are honest in their opinion. What we have received in terms of response was mind boggling. ‘Aadukalam’ fame Kishore has done a lead role in this film, which marks the debut of Viji Chandrasekhar’s daughter Lovelyn in female lead. We will have strong reasons to believe in ‘Genes’ after seeing her performance. Viji Chandrasekhar and her sister Saritha who had dominated the screen during the yesteryear’s can be proud of this young girl. The child artiste who won National awards in Pasanga and garnered huge reception for ‘Goli Soda’ is playing another lead character.

Sriranjani would be reflecting the moms in every home with her simplistic yet powerful characterization. I strongly believed that “Good scripts earn their actors” and I am glad it has come true. I am really privileged to have solid technicians like music director Ghibran onboard for this film. Madhan Karky and Anuradha have penned the lyrics. Chinmayi, Sathyaprakash & Benny Dayal have rendered the songs. Prem of Magalir Mattum fame is handling editing while Krishna Sekar has cranked the camera with Tapas Nayak on audiography. We are contemplating a release over the summer and I am sure with the amount of reception content oriented scripts are receiving, we own a success ” declared Lakshmi Ramakrishnan with pride.

Capturing our hearts with scintillating songs and visual promos, Nayanthara starrer ‘Airaa’ is all set to have a worldwide theatrical release on March 28. During this juncture, the crew comprising of Music director Sundaramurthy KS, actor Kalaiarasan and director Sarjun were present for a short and crisp media interaction with press and media. Here are some of the excerpts from the event.

Music director Sundaramurthy KS has wowed the music lovers with his mellifluous and enjoyably packaged album. However, he rendered very few words of appreciation with just thanks to everyone in the team for giving him an opportunity to be a part of this film. Of course, best musicians have always been people with few words for their songs speak loud about their hard work.

Next it was actor Kalaiarasan, who said, “Soon after my film ‘Madras’, many have been consistently asking me why I am not doing any movies as such. Of course, I am unceasingly looking up for such projects. Soon after Madras, I started working on films with my friends. Some of them became hits while others couldn’t make a long run. Sarjun and I were supposed to work together in the film ‘Echcharikkai’, which didn’t happen due to some reasons. I was slightly disappointed for not getting an opportunity to work with him, but I got a call for Airaa, where he asked me if I can do a particular character in this movie. I would say that more than a horror film, Airaa has an emotional angle too. Everything including the look and feel of this film will have a fresh appeal.”

Filmmaker Sarjun MK said, “I enjoyed working through each and every process in this film. In particular, I was really happy with the way, we filmed the back and white portions and Megadhootham song. Well, Airaa isn’t just about these elements, but there are lots to enjoy. One portion of the film will have spine-chilling and enjoyable moments while the other one would be serious and emotional. We have tried delivering a wholesome entertainer, where audiences will have something to takeaway home. I am so much thankful and owe a lot to couple of people, who have been the main pillars of Airaa. It’s KJR Studios Rajesh sir. I met him first to narrate the script and next time I saw him was for the first copy screening. He didn’t even ask a single question or any update about the project, but he kept providing us whatever we asked for. Sometimes, even I would ask him to drop few ideas keeping budget in mind, but he never wanted to compromise with the quality and provided us with essential things. Nayanthara mam has been a great support to the film. She has essayed dual roles, which are not connected in any way and we had to work a lot in scripting for this. More than all, Nayanthara madam’s distinct and diversified performance in different roles helped us achieve what we actually wanted. I am sure Airaa will be a good treat for audiences.”

Radhika Preethi & Rejith Menon @ Embiran Movie
The advent of certain small films that speaks loud on content, give those films a great deal of visibility earlier when it comes to the matter of attracting the exhibitors and the audience likely.

“‘Embiran’ is one such film that had invoked huge amount of curiosity. It is a tantalising love story between two people who are from entirely different streams. The screenplay is very unusual as we have predominantly used visuals rather than dialogues to convey. The story revolves around supernatural forces trying to help the characters fall in love.

Radhika Preethi and Rejith Menon have snuggled in the characters of Jaya and Priyan really well. Radhika Preethi is making her debut in Tamil with this movie. She has already done a couple of films in Kannada. Rejith Menon has played the lead role in Vikraman’s ‘Ninaiththadhu Yaaro’. The film also features B.Chandramouli, Kalyani Natrajan, Kishore Dev and Valliyappa” says the Director, Krishna Pandi who had earlier assisted Director Magizh Thirumeni.

He also added that the “The film is financed by Panchavarnam Films. Music is composed by Prasanna of ‘Yaargaravayinum Naa kaakka’ fame. The background music has upheld the film. Kabilan Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics for the tunes. Pugazhendhi has handled the Camera and editing has been done by Manoj who had previously worked on ‘Bruce Lee’. The film is slated for release on the 22nd of this month and I am sure everyone will enjoy it”.

Director Pandiraj high on praises of director Vijay Watchman Movie Yogi Babu GV Prakash
There are few compliments that cross beyond the lines of formality and precisely stand out to be an unconditional praise from bottom of hearts. Especially, to have such compliments extended for a clean family entertainer from a filmmaker like Pandiraj, who has always been the maker of pure movies decorating the family emotions and relationship. This is all about the words of praises from the filmmaker after watching director Vijay’s Watchman featuring GV Prakash in lead role alongside Yogi Babu and a Golden Retriever.

Sharing his words of appreciation, director Pandiraj says, “Watching director Vijay’s Watchman was an amazing experience that had the perfect blend of Suspense, Thriller and Comedy. I enjoyed each and every scene. The screenplay was really interesting that involved unexpected surprising twists. Both GV Prakash and Yogi Babu have given their best and in particular, I liked the dog’s activities. The technical department has done a groovy job. Be it cinematography, editing or re-recording, everything is so nicely done.”

On his part, director Vijay says, “It’s bliss to get such appreciations from a filmmaker like Pandiraj sir. Especially, to have praises for an attempt like Watchman becomes a major strength for the film. He has become an integral part of family audiences for his consistent making of films that are based on family dramas and emotions. I am really happy that he enjoyed our film and the credit goes to everyone in the team from GV Prakash, Yogi Babu to all technicians and our loveable Golden Retriever.”

Teasers have now become the real acid tests, where the responsibility becomes so much intense to exhibit the film’s premise in shorter duration. Moreover, things turn to be slightly complex, where revealing anything more than the limits could be a spoiler. However, filmmaker Barath Neelakantan’s K13 teaser featuring Arulnithi and Shraddha Srinath in lead roles stands out to be a tremendous one. The 84 seconds teaser has stormed up the viewers with unlimited curiosities to know what this film is is all about. The relentless questions like is it is hostage drama, psychological thriller or fantasy one, etc – keeps resonating. Ask filmmaker Barath and he says, “It was literally more challenging to finalize the teaser as we had to go through many other versions too. Thanks to my team, especially editor Ruben for his creative approach. As said, anything more than this could turn out to be a suspense spoiler.” Regarding the genre and premise of the story, he says, “Yes, it’s a thriller and the rest is something audience should experience it themselves on big screens.”

In addition, the director Barath Neelakantan has taken a blind bet of revealing all the characters including filmmaker Adhik Ravichandran, who was recently reported of playing a crucial role in this movie. “We wanted this teaser not just to be a curtain raiser, but to be a slightest attempt to establish characters too. These days, audiences and film buffs are keen on knowing even the minimal roles even before watching the film. So we attempted something on this and are happy that people have now recognised the characters.”

Produced by SP Shankar and Santha Priya for SP Cinemas, K 13 also features Yogi Babu in an important role with Sam CS composing music, Aravinnd Singh handling cinematography and Ruben editing the shots.

Leaders Aadirajaram, JCD Prabhakar, MLA Tnagar Sathya, D.Jayakumar, Ayya Ramadoss, Ponnayyan, Pa. Valarmathi, Gokulendra, Na. Balaganga and other members of the alliance extended a hearty welcom to Dr. Sam Paul.

About Sam Paul
An entrepreneur, an educationist, a lawyer and a lover of great ideas — Dr. SR Sam Paul (more fondly known as Sam) did his Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from Madras University between 1996-2000 and went further to complete his Masters in Industrial Engineering from Anna University (College of Engineering, Guindy) in 2001. He later completed his Doctor of Philosophy in Reliability from Kalinga University in 2005. He also pursued his Bachelor’s in Law from Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Pondicherry between 2010-12 to strengthen his bases.

His love for great ideas and better entrepreneurial opportunities led to the formation of the Paulsons Group in Chennai. As the director and legal head of the group, Sam has been the brain and brawn behind the introduction of several international brands to Chennai and then Southern India.

In 2010, he launched Toni&Guy, a multi-award winning international hairdressing brand and in 2013, the brand expanded into Essensuals — a diffusion line of Toni&Guy. In a span of 9 years, the brand has now 170+ salons across Southern and Eastern India.

Sam also shares a love story with F&B brands. It began with a franchise of a European bistro concept outlet, Casa Picola, that could cater to people of possibly all age groups. The brand then branched out with a one-of-its-kind 24-hour delivery/takeaway restaurant called Dawn & Dusk.

The group’s association with premium F&B brands was then strengthened by the inclusion of a Haagen-Dazs franchise. Haagen-Dazs is one of the most premium brands in the ice-cream desserts category, globally. The group also owns the master franchise for the famous ‘German Doner Kebab’ in four States: Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka. Doner Kebab is Germany’s #1 fast food retailer that has created a healthy and nutritionally balanced approach to traditional kebabs. Franchised outlets of the famous Pallavaram YaaMohaideen Biryani were also added as a part of this success story.

The group also runs homegrown F&B lifestyle brands all across Chennai, including Jonah’s Bistro, SLAM Lifestyle and Fitness Studio, Sarah’s Soul Kitchen and Chakra Urban Spa, among many others. The latest feather in his cap is ‘Sulthan’s Biriyani’ serving piping hot biriyani prepared authentically and hygienically. These brands are now being expanded into other cities across South India. Put together, the group boasts over 225 outlets under its belt and growing.

Branching into media and publishing, Dr. SR Sam Paul also envisaged South India’s premier lifestyle magazine, Provoke, that now boasts of a readership of over 1lakh and has been in print and circulation for four years. The magazine has since expanded into an independent online content platform, Provoke TV. Another wing of the Paulsons Group is the film production and distribution house, Paulsons Media Private Limited. The media house aims at producing top-notch movies that are of value to society. Paulsons Media debuted into the Tamil Film Industry with the movie Oru Naal Iravil featuring Sathyaraj in the lead and will make its way forward with few good scripts shortly.

Meanwhile, centred around Pondicherry and then around Chennai, Sam Paul Educational Trust runs many institutions under its name. Christ College of Engineering and Technology, Dr. SJS Paul Memorial College of Engineering and Technology, Stansford International and Billabong International are just a few of the more popular ones on this ever-growing list.

Sam continues to be inspired by new ideas and continues to be driven to expand the separate brands under the group. Newer brands keep being added and newer business ideas enliven the Paulsons Group portfolio every single day.

Sam is a big movie buff himself and has acted in a few films too. After his debut in the movie, Patra, in 2015; he donned the role of a villain cop in Vanamagan, featuring Jayam Ravi and Prakash Raj and directed by AL Vijay. In 2018, he played the negative role again in the movie Lakshmi starring Prabhu Deva.

Sam has always been a people’s person and Chennai his home. He realised serving people brought him immense joy and happiness whilst being in the forefront for volunteering rescue operations and relief work during the 2015 Chennai Floods under the banner ‘TEAM Hope’. Pondering over that idea, he joined the ‘Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) in Dec 2017 with his heart in the right place. He was later appointed as the party’s State IT Wing President.

Nayanthara’s ardent fan following is unmatched by any other contemporary south actresses today. Holding an unprecedented appellation “The Lady Super Star”, she promises to reach the expectations of her fans with every consecutive film especially with her woman-centric films. Now, as the trailer of the much-awaited film “Airaa” receives an immensely positive response like never before, it seems to lock another sure-shot blockbuster for her after Kolamavu Kokila and Imaikkaa Nodigal’s success.

Taking a glimpse into the Airaa trailer, it opens with an intriguing question “Have you heard of Bhavani?” which seems to trigger your expectations on the movie. Also, the ongoing scenes reveal Nayan's character first of the two as a YouTube content creator who sets out to film a fake paranormal video to spike her popularity on the platform and that’s where the twist strikes the flow.

Then comes the intro of Bhavani (second role), and quirky back-story runs by with an engaging bgm till the end and we hear the voice-over of a woman who vows vengeance for yet unknown Amudha.

Interestingly a butterfly motif appears in several frames through-out the trailer and a glass panel in the end, giving space to the speculations and predictions. Here, the trailer cut gives a peek into the layers of the story that are served engagingly amidst the horror nodes and so, likely they seem to hold the interest of the audience till the movie release and make it a sure-shot box-office success thereafter.

As the movie is ready to hit the worldwide screens on 28 th March, Music Director Sundaramurthy K.S, Director Sarjun KM; Echarikkai: Idhu Manithargal Nadamadum Idam (Maa and Lakshmi short films) fame, Producers Kotapadi J Rajesh and Maheshwara Reddy Writer Priyanka Ravindran, Editor Karthik Jogesh, Co-stars Kalaiyarasan, Yogi Babu, Jayaprakash and Malayalam fame Kulappulli Leela are very confident about the success along with Nayanthara herself.
