Sc clarifies VTV Ganesh’s speech on Gautham and Bala


Denying the articles put on almost by all the Media counter parts, Simbucentral is clarifying to its followers that the articles in almost all the media websites, which reported, VTV Ganesh stating that Vaanam director Krish is 10 times better than Goutham Menon and 20 times better than Bala is absolutely false.

All that VTV Ganesh spoke about is that the director of Vaanam Krish seems to be looking silent but he gets in extra work from the artiste’s and that in one incident he made Bharath stunned by asking him to do a dare act. He also said that Krish was so adamant ‘ofcourse to get the quality’ to have natural effects on the shots and he made every one sweat. This was said in a very funny tone and Ganesh was indeed pulling the legs of the Ace Director Krish which the director himself was enjoying along with the vaanam crew.

He later said that he had experince of working under Director Goutham Menon and has seen Director Bala at his work place, but Krish was torturing us 10/20 times in the name of getting the work ‘again in a comic tone’.

Now this can be checked at the videos of vaanam audio launch, that is available all over. And we are really distressed with few media editors who always support us, to have misuderstood the whole issue. We also request them to give a clarity to their respective followers and to support the vaanam team at their venture.

PS : We also came to see few articles in a tamil media website, claiming STR was hitting at Anoushka and that he was trying to impress her and stuff by speaking praise of her.The fact is STR spoke about evey one, and thanked every one. And all he said of Anoushka was that she was a good actress and she worked hard to bring this project to a good shape. Do you say, she is not a good actress?

Thala’s Mankaatha didn’t disturb Vaanam

The audio launch of Vaanam happened to be a simple affair as it didn’t boast of much grandness, but was spangled with some interesting moments. Producer Ganesh of VTV Productions was the cynosure of everyone’s eyes as he easily captured everyone’s attention with his hilarious compereing. The event was delayed nearly by an hour as Anushka missed her flight from Hyderabad. Filmmaker Vetrimaaran launched the audio of Vaanam and distributed the copies to all the unit members. A three-minute sleek and stylish trailer was screened for the special invitees. The film’s tagline: Five Different Stories, One Climax evoked the curiosity levels of the viewers. Producer Ganesh started off ennobling Vaanam as the ‘South Indian Slumdog Millionaire’ for its unique theme.

Mankatha didn’t disturb Vaanam

Soon after Vaanam was acquired by Cloud Nine Movies, the entire production team started to vigorously promote the film. Producer Ganesh elatedly revealed that despite the busy schedule of Ajith Kumar’s Mankatha, the production team of Cloud Nine Movies made it a point of having discussions every day to promote the movie.

A Torture worst than Bala

Producer Ganesh didn’t miss to break open Bharath’s verdict on director Krish while filming a stunt sequence. Says Ganesh: “On the very first day of the shoot, Bharath was supposed to run against a Tata Sumo on fast motion and shatter the front glass clasping a stone. The task was to be completed on the first take and Bharath accomplished it but in the process had a bleeding injury. While we were treating Bharath, we had Krish’s assistant rushing towards us only to give us a shock that Krish wants Bharath to spread the blood all over his shirt for the realistic touch. Bharath was flabbergasted and said – Even Bala wouldn’t behave such peculiarly.

Guiltiness accepted

Actor Bharath reaffirmed that it was true that he was blown out of water hearing Krish being so realistic. But it’s all for the sake of perfection. Bharath couldn’t stop singing praises of Yuvan Shankar Raja. He didn’t miss to mention that Krish wouldn’t have got a perfect launch than Vaanam.

“They made me feel younger”

Saranya, who plays one of the lead roles, was spotted in a gleaming saree and pleasant smile. The actress, while sharing her working experience, said, “I am the most senior actor in this team that has more youngsters. But they made me feel younger and we were exuberant throughout the shoot. Thanks to Krish for casting me again after the Telugu (Saranya performed the role in Telugu version as well) version.”

Filmmaking is very different and easy as well

“Filmmaking is very difficult… Filmmaking is very easy – both depends on how the team works,” said Krish, who continued totting up that he felt very privileged to have such a proficient team to work with. Well, on speaking about Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music, he said that every song in this album has a different soul and will surely grab everyone’s attention.

Best than original

Young Superstar Silambarasan made it clear that the screenplay will be completely different from the Telugu version. Shedding light on Krish’s USP, Simbu said, “Soon after watching the first half of Vedam we desperately wanted to remake the film in Tamil. Apparently, we invited Krish for initial level of discussions. We were surprised to hear him confessing the flaws, he committed in Vedam. He was so involved in the remake version and was sure-footed of setting things right with Vaanam with a motto – Best Than The Original.”

Love your work, results will be fantastic

A wonderful quotation from Yuvan Shankar Raja and very inspiring as well… Yuvan Shankar Raja spoke about the instructions his father (Maestro Ilayaraja) used to give him – Love the work you are doing and the outputs are sure to exceed your very own expectations.

Vaanam Review-> Rocking Album


Simbu’s Vaanam is one of the much-awaited summer releases in Kollywood. The story revolves around five people who meet in the climax of the film due to unforeseen circumstances. Vaanam also has Anushka, Bharath, Vega, Prakashraj, Sonia Agarwal, Jayaprakash and Ganesh in prominent roles. Every time Simbu teams up with Yuvan, you can expect an explosive album in the offing! And this time too there, is no difference; so here we bring you an exclusive music review of Vaanam!

The album begins with the energetic ‘Evan Di Una Pethan’ which is already topping the charts. The song is rendered perfectly by Simbu; Yuvan’s English raps in between form another major highlight. Music director Yuvan Shankar Raja has made the song very peppy by using heavy beats. Apart from singing, Simbu has also penned the lyrics for this simple and colloquial song.

Then comes the desi ‘No Money No Honey’, a typical ‘kuthu’ number. Srikanth Deva, Andrea and Simbu has rendered this peppy dance track. It is a mass kuthu number likely to be picturised on Simbu and Anushka. However, the music is too loud and dominates the lyrics.

Next is a solo number ‘Vaanam’ rendered by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The song is likely to appear in bits and pieces throughout the film. When the guitar strumming begins, you already know this track’s going to stay on ‘repeat’ for a while.

Benny Dayal has crooned the fast-paced, energetic ‘Who I Am’. Check out for some amazing instrumentation from Yuvan in this track. This angry track is likely to appear when the hero gets frustrated on life. The opening of this song reminds us of ‘Uriyin Uriye’ from Kaakha Kaakha. The heavy drum beat and catchy lyrics will definitely attract many young listeners.

‘Cable Raja’ is likely to be the intro song for Simbu (as he plays the role of Cable Raja in the film). Abhishek and Lawrence have sung this mass number. We are already expecting some electrifying dance moves from Simbu in this track.

I share a magic with Yuvan: STR


STR aka Simbu had two reasons to smile on Monday. One is the audio release of his forthcoming venture ‘Vaanam’ and the other is the reach of the already released single (‘Evandi unnai pethaan…’) from the film.
The music album of the movie, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, was released by Vetri Maaran and was received by guests including STR, Anushka, director Krish, Yuvan, Sonia, lyricist Na Muthukumar, producer VTV Ganesh and others.
Speaking on the occasion, STR said, “The output is chartbusters whenever I work with Yuvan. This is proved once again in ‘Vaanam’. Even we too don’t know the exact reason. But all that I can say is I share a magic with Yuvan.”
Anushka, who played the same role in the film’s original version ‘Vedam’, said that hardly she felt like working in a remake. “The team is so fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting for Vaanam,” she said.
Sonia Agarwal expressed happiness that this is her comeback film and it had offered her a meaty role to perform. Other speakers wished the ‘Vaanam’ team a big success in the box office.

Vaanam Audio gets launched today


After the huge box office success of a Single song Evan Di Unna Pethaan from the pens of STR and Yuvan, Fans can now expect more super good songs from the upto release Vaaanam Film Songs album.

The Audio will be launched in few hours at Residency Hotels Chennai. It is going to be a Press release and there is not going to be any big function marking the release as the election commission does not want it to be organised. Fans can post their pictures with the copy of the Music album and it will be uploaded at the official website. We also request the Fans to buy Original copies of the Music album and to support the growth of the Music Industry and the Tamil Film Industry. Stop/avoid Piracy is the goal.

STR dances with Anushka & Santhanam



STR is a very upbeat man these days.
He is busy completing the last song of Vaanam and that too with the hot ‘n’ happening Anushka in Chennai.
Ganesh the producer of the film is blowing up money as a lavish set has been put up at the AVM studio where this peppy song is being shot.
It is choreographed by Baba Bhaskar who has done Kilimanjaro from Enthiran.
The song- “No money, No Honey” is a lively fast number and everyone is having a ball shooting for it.
STR told sify.com: “It is total fun and galatta on the sets while picturising the song. Ganesh and Santhanam are also shaking a leg with me and Anushka. There is so much of positive
vibes and the song is turning out to be a rocking one”.
With this song, Vaanam is complete and Cloud Nine will be releasing the film on April 9 worldwide.

Ace Dir Dharani to direct STR?


If sources are true, we can expect ace Director Dharani of Ghilli and Dhool fame to direct STR in the remake of the Super hit Bollywood flick Dabaang.It was initially said that Director Saravanan of Silambaatam fame would do the direction, now it is said, that Director Dharani as been approached to the same.It is well known that Dharani, a master of handling commercial cinema like Dhool, Dil and Ghilli is the best option to remake Dabaang, which is cut and out Commercial entertainer.We wish the Director to succeed in directing the visual, commercial entertainer and to give the most expected verdict : Block buster with Dabaang.

Kajal Agarwal or Sonam Kapoor?



As usual this Silambarasan film too is creating anxieties even before it is officially launched. The Tamil remake of the Hindi Block buster Dabaang is keeping Thalaivan Silambarasan on the edge.
Apparently Simbu has rejected the choice of Kajal Agarwal as the heroine ‘according to Indiaglitz’. Sources say Silambarasan is looking for a top heroine from Bollywood and extra efforts are taken on his behalf to convince Sonam Kapoor to sign on the dotted line.

No wonder the media is abuzz with these claims. With a choice of two sizzling sweet hearts, STR indeed has to take time to sign one. With inputs from India glitz

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya: A Fairy tale love.


We ve heard of the Romeos and Juliet from the west, but only last year on the same day we saw them come to reality on screen in Tamil cinema.
A fairytale love story, narrated by Gautam Vasudev Menon , enacted by Young superstar STR and Trisha , Vinnai thaandi varuvaaya captured many hearts and won many laurels even from the toughest critics. It was praised by Iyakkunar sigaram K balachander to have given life to his memories of love. But why was that really possible , Simbucentral does a research on VTV -
1. Haptics – the science of touch was subtly used by the director to create a feel to the audience, which even million words would not create, the scene where simbu holds trisha’s legs in the train, expressing he would keep the world under her feet and the scene where simbhu holds trisha’s hands tightly during manippaya song’s lines “Enakathu thalai anai, nanaithidum neramm” conveying that he will be with her through all troubles were brilliantly executed in this film..
2. Fingers in our hands are well enough to count the number of films, which portrayed the present day’s confusing love this perfectly.
The inability of the modern day girl to take a decision during crunch time was unbelievably brought in screen by the director and the heroine!
3. In a day where love has been degrade and its stature being diminished to being a tool to attain money and fun , Vinnai thaandi varuvaaya was a inspiration for every youth to fall in love, pure love blindly and to all who are addicted to other temporary pleasures, vtv managed to convey a strong message that pure love is the greatest pleasure a man can go through..
4. Another striking aspect in this film which attracted brightly was the use of colours. If you clearly watch each and every scene of the film some aspect or the other will be in blue or white. ( eg: Simbhu’s shirt or Trisha’s saree)
5. Music and Lyrics – If Gautam Vasudev Menon created the perfect love body on earth A R rahman gave soul to it. Who can forget the bgm’s which gave blankness when karthik sees Jessie first, the comicality during the KFC conversation , the tension during interval block, the anger during break up. If BGM’S weaved love all over the film, songs poured love with Hosanah, shattered a woman’s silence with kanukkul , pleaded with mannippaya and re gave memories a life with Aaromale.
6. Some real life duplicates – I’m happy to have numerous friends who say happily that it was not simbu but its them, who is karthik, this connection was beautifully brought out by gautam with scenes like simbu falling on the gate when he sees her , when he plays with the ropes of the washing clothes in terrace when waiting for her sight and goes with a long drive in his bike to regain the past memories.. plain brilliance
7. Last but not the least the combination of cinematography and editing was top notch . For a film to succeed you need this partnership to cross a hundred and they did it the Shewag way .. amazing .. the blue of the sea , the silence of the church , the beauty of the moon were shot with love by manoj. And editing was spell bounding when Antony showed the days karthik waited for jessie at the same place when one continous scene was made by a transition of different clothing….
We end this never ending research by saying VTV was nothing short of a magic which was weaved by this crew in a month known for love – FEBRAUARY and we thank each and every one of you for making this a ever green movie.

Coffee with Gowtham: STR with Sameera

This was one of the most celebrated Coffee show ever that was screened. With Ace Director Goutham Vasudev Menon taking over as the Host of the show to promote his much hyped Pschyopath thriller Nadunisai Naaigal starring his assistant Veera and Sameera Reddy.
Goutham went on speaking about his movie and its inspiration and the creator of it Bharathi Raja. They shared some lighter moments and praised each other. Later STR was hosted by Goutham and was put up questions on his Ever Green Box office hit Manmathaun. STR expressed his views on Pschyo genre movies and the problems that he faced acting in it.
Later, Goutham invited Sameera to the sets and they all had a fun time speaking about the movie Nadunisai Naaigal. A must watch for all movie lovers.
Well the rapid question round at the end is the best. With STR answering questions as tough as on choosing between Yuvan and A.R.Rahman, or questions on answering on between Ilayathalapathy and Thala
