Tollywood beckons Santhanam

There can be no two opinions that Santhanam is today the numero uno comedian of Tamil cinema. Impressed with his performance and timing sense, producers from the neighboring states have been vying to book him in their films.

While Mollywood movie makers have been asking the dates of Santhanam for a long time, Tollywood producers too have joined the list now.

This is because many films these days are being made as Tamil-Telugu bilinguals. Even if they are no bilinguals, Telugu films are dubbed and released in Tamil and vice versa.


But it seems Santhanam is in no hurry. It is said that he is waiting for the release of the Telugu dubbed version of 'Oru Kal Oru Kannadi', which will be released in Andhra Pradesh in a grand manner soon.


Only after seeing its result, Santhanam is expected to sign straight Telugu projects.

Karthi's remuneration is Rs 14 cr?

The rise of Karthi Sivakumar in Tamil cinema is no inferior to any fairy tale. Just six-film old, the actor is now in the A-list of actors in Kollywood, which has the names of Superstar Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay, Suriya and Vikram.

If sources are to be believed, a leading producer recently signed Karthi for Rs 14 crore, a remuneration which is a dream for any aspiring star. This clearly shows the demand for the actor in the market.


While 'Paruthiveeran' took him to the rural masses besides making the city audience notice him, his films, 'Aayirathil Oruvan', 'Paiyaa', 'Naan Mahan Alla' and 'Siruthai', made Karthi a household name in Tamil Nadu.


The opening of 'Saguni' has made him a bankable actor, on whom distributors and producers can bet big. The forthcoming films of Karthi are 'Alex Pandiyan', 'Biriyani' and 'All In All Azhagu Raja'.
