Selvaraghavan talks about his films, including the ones that did not take off with Ajith, Vijay and Simbu. He talks more on why people think of Guna when they see Kaadhal Kondain, about the problems he faced during Irandam Ulagam.

Selvaraghavan’s horror-thriller Nenjam Marappathillai has been struggling to find a release for many months. Originally scheduled to release last December, the film has been delayed for reasons yet unknown and this has disappointed many who have been looking forward to its release.

The film’s last teaser was extremely well received and it had set the right expectations. Starring Regina Cassandra, Nandita Swetha and Sj Suryah in the titular roles, the film is tipped to be a very realistic horror drama.

Selvaraghavan's fascination for romance has been evident since his maiden film and he has always approached it in his own style, contrary to how love stories have been captured on celluloid over the years.

All his love stories so far have been received well by audiences and have been lauded for maintaining realism in their portrayal. However, In "Irandam Ulagam", Selva complicates a simple love story in his attempt to merge romance and fantasy genres, only to give the audience an unbearable experience.

Chennai, Nov 18: Lauding filmmaker Selvaraghavan, who is awaiting the release of Tamil fantasy romantic-drama "Irandam Ulagam", the film's leading lady Anushka Shetty said he has the knack of extracting the best out of his actors.

"Selva is usually regarded as a tough director, but he knows how to extract the best out of his actors. Therefore, if an actor in his film is lauded by critics and audiences, the due credit goes to him. He may be tough, but we didn't feel the pressure," Anushka told Ians.

"I was little worried that I may not live up to his expectations, but everything went on smoothly and it was indeed a pleasure.

Chennai, Aug 4: Filmmaker Selvaraghavan, known for films such as "Pudupettai" and "Mayakkam Enna", Sunday expressed concern over the Tamil film industry which, he said, is still not open to creative movies.

"In the last few years, Tamil cinema has witnessed maximum number of comedy films. Today, producers are keen to invest in dark comedy and sex comedy over other genres. I feel we are going through a dark period and I wish it changes soon," Selvaraghavan told reporters here Sunday.

He was speaking at the audio launch of his upcoming Tamil romantic-drama "Irandam Ulagam".

"There are so many independent filmmakers.

You may not know who Dhanush is, but you should. At the tender young age of 29, Dhanush K. Raja has already made a name for himself as one of the most talented actors in India, specifically in the Tamil film industry. While Bollywood take most of the glory, it is Tamil filmmakers like Bala (Naan Kadavul), Mani Ratnam (Bombay, Kadal, Dil Se), and Dhanush's own brother Selvaraghavan (Mayakkam Enna) have made the Tamil industry into the prestige industry. Dhanush has a pair of high profile projects on the immediate horizon, both of which we'll be covering, but the first is a Tamil feature from Hari Om director, Bharatbala titled Mariyaan. There's been a teaser floating around the Internet for weeks, but there wasn't much...

Actress Andrea is busy shaking her legs day and night. Know what? The actress has joined a dance class to develop the skills. Making her debut with ‘Pacchaikili Muthucharam’, Andrea never had an opportunity to dance. Even in the most overpowering song of ‘Oh Eesa’ of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, it was Reema Sen, who had more footage to dance. However, Andrea hasn’t given up the hope and is now vigorously gaining those skills.

The actress is now shooting for her upcoming film ‘Idhu Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam’, in which she shares the screen space with Dhanush. The film is directed by Selvaraghavan and is produced by his father Kasthoori Raja under the banner of Rk Productions.

The rumors about her affairs with Selvaraghavan have slightly got trivialized on its course and maybe, soon after the release, things may catch up again.

Though the film Aayirathil Oruvan which had Karthi, Reema Sen, Parthiban and Andrea in the cast had mixed responses at the box office, the Telugu dubbed version titled Yuagniki Okkadu mad it big at the box office. This film has been declared as super hit in the film trade circle. The reason of the success of this film in Andhra Pradesh is attributed to Selvaraghavan.

He became quite popular there because of the dubbed Telugu version of the Tamil film 7 G Rainbow Colony and Telugu film Aadavari Matalaku Ardhaalu Verule. This Telugu film was released in 2007. Seeing the success of Aayirathil Oruvan in Telugu, the producer who distributed this film is dubbing the classic Paruthiveeran in Telugu with the title Palnati Veerudu.

Director Selvaraghavan’s long-awaited ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, which has been touted as his dream project, is a brave attempt at seeking novelty in the world of Tamil cinema. Breaking away from the shackles of the stereotypes, the director transports us to a whole new world…and we are dumbstruck by the visuals,.

Star-casts: Karthi, Andrea, Reema Sen, Parthiban, Prathap Pothan, Azhagam Perumal and others.

For those who acclaimed Selvaraghavan as the most ace screenplay writer and filmmaker, you’ll have to confess your sins…. ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is a very big disappointment. Sorry to say! Producer Ravendran maybe in a troublesome situation now…. We kindly thank those comments which supported in favor of us. Yes, we have been correct with our presumptions and Selva hasn’t done anything special other than ‘adult factors, semi-nude shots and bad words….’

‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is a fiction that brings about conflict between the present generations of Chola and Pandian dynasty.

The film opens with a renowned archeologist (Prathap Pothan) found in an isolated land bounded with a nightmarish experience. On the very next day, the newspapers carry news that he’s missing. His only beloved...

Isn’t ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ for Kids and family audiences?

‘More expectations’ doesn’t mean that we really mean it. Because, high expectations are actually for the film that has some justifying ingredients. But over here with ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, it’s a low profile.

If you’ve a doubt just glimpse through the online ticket booking websites for this film, they’re still unoccupied even after 48 hours of opening. In fact, most of the masses aren’t aware that the film is releasing on that day.

Meanwhile, the interim stay issue had created furthermore drawback for this film.

Well, if you’re still being dragged about what’s making some expectations for ‘Ao’, it’s none other than Selvaraghavan’s ‘Adult content’ factor. As in most of his films, you’ll see the red-hot girls – Andrea and Reema Sen lifting their skirts and top-dresses to the maximum level.

For those special invitees,...

What makes Selvaraghavan so famous about? Maybe, his so-called ingredients savoring for adolescent audiences and there’s some other thing what makes him so familiar for. Alas! His very unique nature of taking cheques and advance payments for the films he’s not gonna actually make.

With his ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ slated to hit screens for Pongal, Chennai High Court has imposed stay on the film with producer of Salem A. Chandrasekhar of Sri Saravana Creations filing case against producer R. Ravendran and Selvaraghavan.

In his complaint, it has been mentioned that Chandrasekhar had handed Rs. 2Crores as an advance amount as Selvaraghavan had assured about making a film titled ‘Kasimedu’. Later, R. Ravendran had signed him for his ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, even as knew about their project.

Now as Ravendran and Selvaraghavan haven’t settled the complete sum, Saravanan has filed case against them and Chennai Civil Court has imposed interim...

The young high-potential G.V. Prakash bags one more offer from Selvaraghavan now. The director, who kick-started his next untitled project with Vikram across the exotic locales of Ladakh is completed with the first schedule.

To prove that his combination with any technician will yield success, he joined hands with one of the leading music directors of Hindi film industry. Nevertheless, the musician didn’t live up to his expectations causing him trouble over the deadline issues.

Apparently, Selvaraghavan replaced him with his favorite lad G.V. Prakash. The duo is already on cloud nine with the success of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ audio.

Karthi, Reema Sen and Andrea are set for a journey of ‘Time Travel’ now. How can a impractical thing happen over? Don’t get discombobulated as the weird concept will be seen in Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’.

Before few months, there were buzzes rounding upon air that ‘Ao’ is based on reincarnation story. Now, here’s some other thing totting up to the exciting factor that it’s a ‘Time Travel’ story.

According to the sources, all three lead characters – Sugumar, Anitha and Lavanya will travel to the past times from 22nd century to 6th Century where they’ll witness the culmination of Chola Dynasty.

This should really keep everyone on their feet of looking out for this film. Let’s keep awaiting for the film till Pongal.

Soundarya Rajnikanth has finally let a word on her debut production’s release dates. ‘Goa’ directed by Venkat Prabhu has been under production for a very long time. The film’s shooting was shelved due to adverse climatic conditions and was later bounded to financial constraints.

The paper ads had carried the advertisements that ‘Goa’ will hit the screens for Pongal. Indeed, it was an interesting race as Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ and ‘Kutty’ was included in the race. But later, as the distributors weren’t willing to release ‘Goa’ for Pongal, the release date has been likely postponed to the Republic Day weekend.

If you’re still there, we have a big funny part that happened during the re-recording session for this film.

As Yuvan Shankar Raja and Venkat Prabhu requested their instrumentalists to come up with few tunes after explaining the situation, they would easily break open the...

Selvaraghavan’s magnum opus ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is all set for Pongal release and it has already raised everyone’s anticipations. Recently, the film’s trailer was screened along with the film ‘Vettaikaran’ at Kamala Theatres and the crowds cheered out with grand applauses.

Now we hear that the film’s business had gradually increased after the promos and songs were released.

The censor board officials who recently saw the film have passed ‘A’ Certificate for this film, since the war sequences were so violent that it may not be appropriate for certain age groups.

The film has Karthi, Reema Sen Andrea and Parthiban in lead roles while G.V. Prakash’s musical score has topped the charts.

It’s all about Aayirathil Oruvan across the towns now. We aren’t sure whether producer R. Ravendran would be able to keep his head out of troubled waters with accordance to high budget film. Maybe, even if the film does well running successful for more than 40 days, the trade reports are that the producer may not return with profits.

But actor Karthi seems to be freaking out since his long awaited film post-Paruthiveeran will be releasing on Pongal. Says Karthi: ‘The film is about three characters – Sugumaran, Anitha and Lavanya who’ll have to be together even when they don’t like each other. Selvaraghavan has crafted such an interesting screenplay with comic elements….’...

‘Enakkul Oruvan’ and latest Telugu release ‘Magadheera’!!! Any guesses between these films? Obviously, they’re the most happening films based on reincarnation. And now we hear that, Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ is also based on the same storyline.

Let’s make it simple, Parthiban takes on the role of a King in Chola Dynasty who dies as a captive to his enemies. (From the trailer, we discover that Reema Sen and Andrea are spotted with the costumes of queens).

Years later in this present world, there’s a team of archeologists (Reema and Andrea) embarking on a journey of finding a buried past of Chola kingdom. A coolie (Karthi) accompanies guiding them across the thickest forests and deserts. Finally, they discover the land where the Chola palace and their belongings are buried.

But then, we may be little surprised to see that Parthiban himself as reincarnated as Karthi.

So, he...

The trailer launch of ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ turned to be an annoying moment for most of the media channels as there wasn’t any proper seat allotments for the professionals, who graced over the occasion to furnish the news articles and coverage.

There weren’t any specified people to undertake the comfortability of journalists as Selvaraghavan’s first assistant (wearing yellowish-orange blazer) allocated the seats to his associates and their family members (nearly 200 people). They merely walked into the rows doled out for press.

Out of infuriation, most of the journalists walked out of Sathyam Cinemas.
