ameer want school girl

Ameer finally joins the bandwagon of the already successful director-turned-heroes with his Yogi. With this, he will challenge the likes of Cheran and Sundar C who have been accepted into the mainstream by Tamil cinema. Subramania Siva will direct the Ameer starrer Yogi. Siva declares that Ameer plays a rustic baddie in his Yogi and that his plot is tad different from the rest of the movies. “Ameer has no intention to enjoy the privileges of being a hero or to throw tantrums on the sets,” states Siva. “That is not the reason he decided to take up the role. I wanted a face just like Ameer’s and I thought I might as well direct him.” Siva replies.Ameer does not have a heroine paired opposite him for Yogi. However, the director is busy searching for a schoolgirl with adolescent looks for an important role. “Ameer plays a rowdy in my film and the story is about his friendship with a schoolgirl,” Siva points out as a matter of fact.

Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam

The shooting for Gautham Menon's much-discussed Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam begins today.

This film has Trisha alongside four new faces, who are marking their debut in films as actors. Some of them are not new to cinema though. The four new guys are: Gautham’s assistant Veera, Shaam (SS music VJ), Sathish (a dancer who did a cameo in Unnale Unnale), and Karthik (actress Sridevi’s nephew and brother of actress Maheswari).

The film's title brings a deja vu feeling? No wonder! That's because the photo shoot for this film was done in 2007. For some reason, the shooting was delayed and now, it has finally started.

Music is by A.R.Rahman. The film, produced by P. Madan and J. Ganesh, also introduces a new cinematographer, Manoj Paramahamsa.
