STR and Vijay to Romance Nisha
Looks like both Vijay and STR will be romancing girls named Nisha in their respective movies. Both these movies are slated to release for Diwali, as well. Nice little coincidence, one must say.
Worth the wait - THE HINDU
Varalakshmi Sarathkumar’s debut in Tamil cinema might have been delayed by four years. But then, she will be compensating for the time lost with two releases in quick succession.
While her long-awaited Poda Podi, featuring Simbu in the lead along with her, has been slated for a Deepavali release, her Madha Gaja Rajaopposite Vishal is likely to release early next year.
Says the pretty lass, “I’m not sentimental. I strongly believe that whatever happens is for the best.” Poda Podi, which went on floors in 2008, has had several delays. There were even reports that the project had been shelved and that Varalakshmi had walked out of it only to return later.
She clarifies, “I was never out of the project in the first place, and therefore, the question of returning to it does not arise. The truth is we faced a lot of problems in the beginning. The film, we believe, has come out at the right time. Poda Podi is a project that’s close to my heart. It gave me an opportunity to work with some wonderful people. They are now like family.”
Varalakshmi’s character in Poda Podi hails from London, while Simbu’s is from India. The duo fall in love and get married in the film. “The different value systems and cultures they come from create problems in their lives. How they resolve them is what Poda Podi is about,” says Varalakshmi. Varalakshmi, who is known for her dancing skills, plays a Latin American dancer in Poda Podi. Simbu too is a good dancer. Ask her what it was like working with Simbu and the rest of the cast, and she says, “Simbu is one of the most talented people I have met. He is knowledgeable about cinema and helpful. Besides, we are both fun-loving. The casting too was fabulous. In the film, Jeffery Vardon plays my instructor and I couldn’t ask for a better dance partner.”
So, who is the better dancer — Simbu or Varalakshmi? She laughs, “You have to tell me after watching the dance sequences. Simbu has loads of energy and it shows on screen. I have realised that facing the camera requires a lot more effort than performing on stage. Every dancer has his own strengths. Simbu’s strength is hip hop, while I am strong in Latin American dancing.”

Simbu scores another hit - TIMES OF INDIA
Podaa Podi music creates waves among fans
It's been more than a week since Podaa Podi's music launch and the songs have become quite a rage already among fans. The film has music by Dharan and has quickly gotten interest from youngsters across India. Unlike other audio launches, Podaa Podi's CDs hit the stores directly and with little promotion have gotten a lot of momentum going. Sony Music's Asokh Parwani says: "Poda Podi music album is a runaway super hit. We have already got repeat order from music stores for the CD's and digital sales are phenomenal. It is number one on FM's and on mobile." Meanwhile Simbu has been busy performing two of the songs at radio stations and award shows to get more promotions. Both the songs, 'Love Panlaama Venaama' and 'Appan Mavale' features Simbu himself and his efforts are known to make several soundtracks popular.
What do you think of Podaa Podi? Are you enjoying the songs?

Podaa Podi Music Rocks - SIFY
Sony Music’s Asokh Parwani says : “Poda Podi music album is a runaway super hit. We have already got repeat order from music stores for the CD’s and digital sales are phenomenal. It is number one on FM’s and on mobile.”
Poda Podi did not have any big audio launches as it hit the stores directly and went on to be a hit.
STR himself is aggressively promoting the album. He is going around all FM stations promoting Poda Podi. Last Friday, STR gave a rocking live performance at the JFW Divas of South Awards which had the crowd in raptures, when he sang Love Panalaama Vennaama the super hit song. In fact, this peppy number is on everyone’s wish list at leading nightclubs in the city.
Another hit song in the album is Appan Mavanae Vaada sung by STR and written by Vaali. But what is it that all music directors who team up with STR are able to churn out chartbusters? It is Silambarasan’s superb sense in music and valuable inputs regarding the film's soundtrack that he gives.
Right now, he is dubbing for Poda Podi, as the film gets ready for a Diwali release.
