Ilaignan, Kaavalan, Siruthai and Aadukalam have now been confirmed for Pongal releases. Earlier, there was a speck of doubt about Siruthai making it for Pongal but the latest from the camp is that the film is ready and raring to hit the screens.

So, it’s Karthi, Vijay and Dhanush competing this time and the movie buffs are waiting to know the final outcome. The countdown has begun and the D-day is not far off!

Kaavalan has its own set of problems especially in finding theatres while Siruthai and Aadukalam are having a smooth sail. Ilaignan on the other hand is backed by the TN CM as it is based on a novel penned by him.

‘Siruthai’ and ‘Veppam’

Kollywood witnessed the audio launches of two much awaited films today. One is ‘Siruthai’, the Karthi-Tamannah starrer and the other is ‘Veppam’, a film produced by Gautam Vasudev Menon.

Vidyasagar has composed music for ‘Siruthai’, which is directed by Siva and produced by Studio Green. With the film’s trailer already rocking, its songs have created huge expectations.

Adding to it is the recent speech of Suriya at the trailer launch of the film. “Vidyasagar’s songs are my energizers. I would listen to his music while working hard at gym,” the top actor said.

Directed by Anjana, a former associate of Gautam, ‘Veppam’ marks the reentry of music composer Joshua Sridhar, who made waves with ‘Kadhal’, a production venture of director Shankar.

“The film is set in north Chennai,” sources say. Cinematography is by Om Prakash while lyrics are by Na Muthukumar. Editing is being taken care of by Anthony.
