05.Kichu Kichu SongIts romance in the Swiss Alps for the hit pair of Billa - Ajith and Nayantara. They will be seen together on the silver screen again in Aegan which is at the last stages of its shooting. The last song for Aegan slated for Diwali release is being shot in Interlaken in Switzerland which is located at the heart of the Swiss alps. The choreographer for the song is Raju Sundaram.
Ajith will woo Nayantara for this melodious number tuned by music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. Its said that Nayantara is all set to increase the heartbeat of her fans in this song clad with Yash Chopra-style chiffon sarees designed by Nalini Sriram while Ajith will woo his fans with designer Suits.
The entire talkie portion and other songs of the film have been completed. The audio of the film will have a soft launch on Thursday (Oct 9), which is Vijayadasmi day, as the entire unit of the film will be in Switzerland on the day. The film will have a big Diwali day release worldwide in over 400 screens.
Ajith will be seen in this film with Navdeep, Nayantara, Suhasini and Piya. Navdeep acts as Ajith's brother and Suhasini appears as his mother. Jayaram acts as college principal and Nayantara as the lecturer. This is the re-make of Shah Rukh Khan's Hindi film 'Main Hoon Na'.
Interestingly, Dhanush's 'Padikathavan' and Silambarasan's 'Silambattam' have backed out of the race at the last moment. It looks likely that they would hit the screens in November.
Expectations are high for 'Varanam Aayiram' that brings together the stunners Suriya and director Gautham Vasudev Menon after 'Kaakha Kaakha'. Ajith's 'Aegan' is expected to open big as it's a come back stylish venture after 'Billa'. Hari wields the megaphone for 'Seval'. Madhavn's 'Guru En Aalu' is inspired by Bollywood hit 'Yes Boss'.
Close on the heels of actor Vijay nearing his 50th film, actor Ajith too has joined him in the race. 'Aegan' starring Ajith, is his 48th film (directed by choreographer Raju Sundaram) which is ready for release on Deepaavali. His next would be directed by Gautham Menon for Sivaji Productions. All eyes are now focussed on who would direct Ajith for his 50th film.
Interestingly Vijay's 48th film is 'Villu' and is directed by Prabhudeva. His next would be 'Vettaikaran' followed by his 50th film to be produced by his father S A Chandrasekharan. The director is still to be finalised.
The fact that two popular heroes of Tamil cinema nearing their 50th film is a moment to cherish for their fans.
Ajith's much awaited Aegan is nearing completion. According to latest reports, the crew of Aegan will leave soon for the Swiss Alps to shoot for a song in the film. The rest of the portions have already been shot in locations inside and outside India.
The major attraction of the film will be the super pair of Ajith and Nayantara who after the stylish Billa are teaming up for the film. The entire unit including Ajith and Nayantara will fly to Switzerland on Monday, October 6th from Chennai. The unit will spend a week in the beautiful locations in Switzerland to shoot the song. One highlight of the song is that it is going to be picturised in Yash Chopra style with Nayan wearing schiffon saris designed by Nalini Sriram. Tuned by Yuvan Shankara Raja, the soft melody will be choreographed by Raju Sundaram.
The action packed film is expected to be released on Diwali and all eyes are on Ajith to give out a more stylish performance than Billa.
Aegan Movie Posters featuring actor Ajith 'Thala' are just released . There are wo posters one in Tamil and another in English.
In the English Poster, Ajith is standing with a Gun pointing up and he is facing up. A long fence is behind him ending with some building structures. Looking like he is getting into action. The posters are extremely in Black & white theme with RED coloured Movie title 'AEGAN'.
If you feel exicted about the Poster release of Aegan, Post your comments here.
Grapevine is abuzz with rumours that Ajith would play a don in his forthcoming venture to be directed by Gautham Menon.
The shooting of this film will start on 1 November. Ajith has been impressed a lot with Gautham Menon's script Surangani with a difference from others.
The film is about a middle class youth who becomes a dreaded don in the world, while Sameera Reddy will plays his ladylove. The film will have music by Harris Jayaraj, and camera is by Ajith's favourite Nirav Shah, who cranked the camera for 'Billa', will handle cinematography.
The movie is produced by Sivaji Productions.
The other reason is this is the first directorial effort of Raju Sundaram. Others who act along with Ajith in this film include Navdeep, Nayantara, Suhasini and Piya. Navdeep acts as Ajith's brother and Suhasini appears as his mother. Jayaram acts as college principal and Nayantara as the lecturer. This is the re-make of Shah Rukh Khan's Hindi film 'Mein hun na'.
Ayangaran Films have produced the film. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director of the film and the songs will be released on Vijayadasami day, that is, on 9th of this month.
Reports say that the film is produced very well. Raju Sundaram has paid particular care for the songs. One speciality is that Ajith has no dupe even in risky shots. Another special is that the film will be screened on Deepavali day.
The audio launch of Ajith's Diwali release Aegan is scheduled to take place on Oct 9 on the auspicious day of Vijayadasami.
It is a hattrick of sorts for Yuvan and Ajith after Dheena and Billa. The buzz is that the songs of Aegan are rocking. The shoot of Aegan is complete and there is just one song to be shot on the lead pair of Ajith and Nayantara.
The unit will be going to an exotic place by first week of October according to a source close to the unit. There are five songs in the film, which is produced by Ayngaran International.
Ultimate Star has turned more spiritual now these days that he visited and offered prayers at Shirdi Sai Baba temple last week and Chottranikarai Bhagavathy Amman temple yesterday on September 26, soon after he finished dubbing for 'Aegan' in Chennai.
Before acting in the remake film 'Billa', he personally met and received greetings from Super Star where he was delighted with a feast and was presented a book 'Living Masters of Himalayas'. Ajith simply got immersed and overwhelmed while reading it. Rajinikanth's involvement in spirituality and his visit to temples before the release of his films are well-known. Even during the release of 'Sivaji-The Boss', Rajini made a visit to Temple in Tirupati and sought the blessings.We all know that Ajith's 'Aegan' is set for a Deepavali release. But, the question that lingers is, what's the next venture of the ultimate star? Talks and buzzes are going around that Ajith has joined hands for the first time with Gautham Vasudevan Menon for Sivaji Productions.
Ajith will don the role of a gangster, which he's poise in doing after 'Billa' and Sameera Reddy has been roped in to play the role of his girl friend. As usual, Gautham's Chief Marksman Harris will score the music. Nirav Shah, the man behind the grand looks of 'Billa', will wield the camera once again for this flick.
Director Gautham has suggested an attractive title 'Surangani' for the film. But the same title has been registered for another film which is under production. Sivaji Productions is currently making negotiations with the producers to acquire the same, catchy title.
The film will go to the floors in November and is slated to be released on April 14, 2009.It is the most exciting project on the floor. Ajith, the most handsome and dashing hero of Tamil cinema is going to be directed with the director's director Gautham Vasudeva Menon in a film to be produced by Sivaji Productions Ram Kumar.
Gautham has given it a catchy title Surangani. Sivaji Productions is now negotiating with the producer who has registered this title for another film. The shoot of this film will start on November 1 in Chennai.
Surangani is going to be Ajith's next film after Aegan. According to sources close to the unit, Ajith has been bowled over by Gautham's script. Ajith it seems is going to play a deadly gangster in the film. It is about man who rises from humble beginnings, to become the biggest don in the world, while Sameera Reddy will play the role of the gangster's moll.
The film will have music by Harris Jayaraj, and camera is by Ajith's favourite Nirav Shah the man who gave that slick look to Billa. The film will be shot at one go, and will be ready for an April 14, 2009 release.
Both 'Varanam Ayiram' and 'Aegan' are expected to do very well. Suriya is at his best in 'Varanam Ayiram', which chronicles the life of a man from childhood to old age. Suriya has undergone drastic physical changes to portray the physical characteristics associated with youth and middle age. Surya will be seen in dual roles. For director Gautham Menon this is his seventh film and his earlier movie with Suriya "Kaaka Kaaka" turned out to be a major blockbuster. The Gautham Menon - Harris Jayaraj - Suriya team is all set to recreate the magic once again. Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana and Simran co-star with Suriya.
'Aegan' is the debut film for Raju Sundaram as director. The film stars Ajith and is the remake of the successful Hindi movie 'Main Hoon Na'. Nayantara, Navdeep, Suhasini Ratnam, Nassar and Jayaram will also be seen in the film. The combo of Ajith and Nayantara is highly anticipated as both sizzled together in 'Billa'. Ajith - Nayantara - Yuvan Shankar Raja, the people behind 'Billa' are expected to conjure the magic once again with 'Aegan'.Director Madhesh who churned out the Vijay flick 'Madura' is all set to team up with Ajith for a film titled 'Thalaivan'. Though 'Madura' went on to be a commercial success, Vijay fans felt there was something missing. This reportedly has wedged a wall of professional silence between Vijay and the director.
Madhesh however went on to direct Vijayakanth in the film 'Arasangam' which was well received by the public. Buzz is that Madhesh wanted to team up with Vijay once again but then has met with stony silence from the other end. This probably made the director approach Ajith. The actor fondly called 'Thala' by his fans is reportedly happy with the story and has given a go-ahead to Madhesh.
In all probability, once 'Aegan' is released, work on 'Thalaivan might start. Reports also suggest that Madhesh is currently abroad scouting for locations to film the song sequences.
When every actor tastes success, they are referred to as Thalaivan in publicity materials and by fans. Interestingly, the name 'Thalaivan' may be used as the title of a film for the first time. Something Ajith fans would simply love.After 'aegan,' Ajith had given his call sheet to AVM. It is supposed to be directed by Gautham Vasudeva Menon but it seems the director is yet to tell the story to the producer.
'Arasangam' Madesh had narrated a story to Ajith, who liked it and that set Madesh working on the next step. A catchy title like 'Thalaivan' is ready too. So, would Ajith do the AVM film or Madesh film next?
The story tellers are biting their nails in anxiety!
Actor Jayaram seems to be the toast of Tamil Cinema after being part of the successful ventures 'Dhaam Dhoom' and 'Saroja'.
On opting to play a baddie in 'Dhaam Dhoom', he said, "I was not keen to do a negative role. In my career which has spanned over 25 years, I was approached for the first time to play a villain. It lured me and hence I agreed. But then the role was a portrayal in a dignified manner".
Shooting for 'Saroja' was a terrific experience. Everyone was friendly on the sets and the youngsters involved in the project had the fire in them to succeed. Shooting for the movie was indeed a great joy'.
On his forthcoming film 'Aegan' in which he is cast alongside Ajith, Jayaram, said, "I play a comical role in the film. I appear all through the movie. I am sure it will bring the roof down in theaters with laughter".
Complimenting Ajith, he says, "He is a man of dedication. He speaks less but lets his films do the talking. He is one of the focused artistes in the industry".
Yuvan Shankar Raja is going to have back-to-back audio launches. It is a rare feat for a music director to have audio launches of two of his films, one after another.
On September 30, the audio of Simbu's Silambattam, which has music by Yuvan is scheduled.
Simbu and Yuvan have always rocked together from Manmathan to Vallavan. So a lot is riding on Silambattam's music.
Next day on October 1, is the audio launch of Ajith's Aegan. Who can forget the peppy songs of the deadly combo in Dheena and Billa ?
Recently Ajith had told Raju Sundaram, the director of the film that he is very happy with the music of Aegan.
Samira Reddy makes her debut in Kollywood through the film 'Vaaranam Aayiram', directed by Gautham Menon starring Surya and Sameera.'Vaaranam Aayiram' crew promises that we can see more of her once the film hits the screens.
Samira Reddy has been roped in to feature opposite Ajith in a yet to be titled movie which is produced by Sivaji Productions and Gautham Menon wields the Megaphone.
This is the first time that Gautham and Ajith are coming together and Gautham's chief marksman Harris Jayaraj is teaming up for Music to stun in this film too, as the duo has never parted or fallen short of expectations.
The movie would go to the floors on second of November soon after Ajith's 'Aegan' gets released on October 28.
Ayngaran international produced 'Aegan' is slated for a deepavali release making Thala fans more euphoric and would sure be an extravagance for the thunderous festival.
A release on Deepavali is considered to bring fortune for the Star. His earlier films like 'Varalaru', 'Amarkalam' released on the day of Deepavali turned out as big hits at the box office and reaped accolades.
Renowned Choreographer Raju Sundaram makes his directorial debut through this film. After the terrific success of 'Billa', Nayanthara once again shares screen space with Ajith.
'Arinthum Ariyamalum' fame Navdeep is in to enact a key role, while Suhasini Maniratnam, Nasser, Jayaram, Sree Man, Suman also play prominent roles in this flick.
Inspired by the Bollywood hit 'Main Hoon Na', Aegan was shot in Hyderabad, Yercaud and in many exquisite locales of Hong Kong and Bangkok. Music for Aegan is set to tunes by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the audio launch is expected to be in early October.
These biggies had joined for the film biggest hit 'Thirupathi' and now they are back again.Ajith is AVM's next option for a film to be produced at a big budget directed by SP.Jananathan.This director is the quintessential illustration of mixing the best commercial attributes with an exceptional storyline and perhaps Ajith would score his best with it. At present, both the personalities are busy shooting for Aegan and SP.Jananathan with 'Peranmai' featuring Jeyam Ravi in lead.
Soon after both completing their projects they would be joining hands and meanwhile AVM too will have Surya's Ayan completed and hitting the screens…
Ayngaran Films International is busy producing couple of big stars films at the same time: Vijay's Villu and Ajith's Aegan. Both the films are directed by brother directors each: Aegan – Raju Sundaram and Villu by Prabhu Deva. Since, releasing both the films would drop in the collections of each other; London Karunaas of Ayngaran Films has decided not to let the films clash. So, Ajith's Aegan would release for the occasion of Diwali while Villu will hit the screens for Pongal.
All the songs tuned by Yuvan Shankar have been churned out well. Earlier, both the duo had swayed together consecutively for the films 'Dheena' and 'Billa'. Audio for the film was supposed to be launched by this month and now it has been postponed to the first week of October. Buzzes are that it would be launched on the occasion of October 2 for Gandhi Jayanthi…
The buzz is getting bigger as Ajith is being paired up with Gautham Menon in Sivaji productions new film.
The shoot of the film is likely to start in November, as Sivaji productions are very particular of an April 14, 2009 release.
Gautham had narrated a one-line script, which Ajit is said to have asked for some modifications. The writer-director is said to be re-writing the script, as Ajit is very keen to start work on the film in the first week of November.
Meanwhile there have been reports that Gautham is starting a Telugu film with Mahesh Babu, a police story to be produced by UTV. The picture gets hazy as the shoot of this film is also likely to start in January!
At the same time Sivaji Productions, a very professional outfit is pushing Ajith and Gautham to make an official announcement and launch the project.
Let us hope that there are no major hiccups in the offering, as Ajith and Gautham coming together means matinee magic.
Everyone knows that, before entering cine industry, Ajith was running an automobile workshop and was fond of racing.
Most of us do not know that he was a super specialist in cooking when he was living single.
To say, aunties living in his area, used to get guidance from him about cooking. Still he gives ideas for the catering department, while in the shooting spot.
'Guru En Aalu' starring Madhavan is the remake of Shahrukh Khan's 'Yes Boss', while Ajith's under-production venture 'Aegan' is an adaptation of the Hindi hit 'Main Hoon Na'. Efforts are now on to do the Tamil remake of the Hindi blockbuster 'Jab We Met' which featured Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles.
The recently released 'Poi Solla Porom', directed by Vijay and produced by UTV and Four Frames, is a xerox copy of the Bollywood comedy caper 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'.
Fresh reports indicate that P Vasu is planning to do the Tamil version of 'Baazigar'.
Say industry men, 'with corporates from Mumbai stepping in to do Tamil movies, it is obvious that several Hindi films are being remade in Tamil. Moreover, after Bollywood, Tamil Cinema has huge global audiences. Therefore it is obvious that we are opting for the remake of Hindi hits'.
Some things come easy to some people and for others, the path is littered with pitfalls and painful experiences. So it was with the picture-perfect couple Ajith and Shalini. Their dream of becoming parents was fulfilled early this year with the birth of their beloved daughter, Anoushka, who has naturally turned out to be the apple of her father's eye.
Since making her first public appearance at an arangetram in one of the city's dance auditoriums, she's been the centre of attraction for every shutterbug in town. Cuddled in her father's arms, she was the cynosure of all eyes. Next was the little princess' appearance at Diya's (Suriya's and Jyothika' daughter) first birthday celebrations, where she wowed one and all with her dainty ways and cheerful demeanour. A true star in the making!
For a couple who never bothered about being seen in public, they are now seen almost everywhere, with baby Anoushka firmly cradled in daddy Ajith's arms. Sources say that he never puts his beloved child down and is always with her whenever he's home. Quite the New-Age Dad!
Vaaranam Aayiram has been creating huge hype, more so because of the delays that it encountered. The latest buzz is that the shooting has been completed and just a few patchworks are on. It is now confirmed that Vaaranam Aayiram will make it to the theatres for Deepavali. A fitting competition for Vaaranam Aayiram will be Aegan, which has Ajith in the lead. Aegan, in fact has been targeting a Deepavali release right from the beginning and is working towards it.
With the two big star of Kollywood Surya and Ajith ready to hit the silver screens on Deepavali fans are sure to be in for a treat. The Gautham Menon , Surya, Harris Jeyaraj combo in Vaaranam Aayiram and Raju Sundaram , Ajith, Nayantara, Yuvan Shankar Raja combo in Aegan is bound to make Deepavali celebrations even more explosive.

The much-awaited Ajith-starrer Aegan where he pairs up with Nayantara, the queen of South India, will have its audio launch on 11th October. The film will be released during Diwali. This is not the first time that Ajith and Nayantara are paired together. Earlier, the remake Billa featured them both and was a big hit.
Aegan, which started shooting in late 2007, has completed the schedule and is now in its post production stage. Directed by Raju Sundaram, the film also features Navdeep, Suhasini, Nassar and Jayaram. Yuvanshakar Raja scores the music for Aegan which is produced by Karunamurthy and distributed by Ayngaran International.Like Rajini who flies to Himalayas in search of peace after completing every movie, Ajith rides to his ECR bungalow and hides there for many days. He remains inaccessible there and comes out after taking rest.
Now a days he keeps away media and their people as he feels they are the trouble makers!
He avoids visiting houses of other personalities in the industry and even he avoids Rajini and his family!
Ajith was said to be to act in Billa - II, to be produced by Warner Bros along with Rajini's second daughter Soundarya.
But all of a sudden Ajith's managers are declaring to media that he will not do the movie!
Its not clear, what has made Ajith to keep away from Rajini and his family!
It is that time of season that would make Ajith fans jump for joy. The much-awaited 'Aegan' music album will hit the markets very soon.
Sources have it that Ayngaran International; the producers of the film have decided to launch the audio on the 5th of September, coinciding with Teachers Day. Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has scored the music, has reportedly worked hard in order to get the appropriate appeal.
Following the success of 'Billa', Ajith is hopeful that 'Aegan' would also make it big. Directed by Raju Sundaram, the film has Nayantara opposite Ajith while Navdeep plays his brother. The movie is said to be a remake of the Hindi hit 'Main Hoon Na'.
'The songs have come good and would top the audio charts, sources close to Yuvan Shankar Raja say. There is a right mix of hip-hop and groovy numbers in 'Aegan' and Ajith fans will cherish the album', they add.
After watching 'Billa' with his family, Vijay was all commend for Ajith.The hostility between Vijay and Ajith is a thing of the past. The two are now on very friendly terms, dining with each other, and praising each other that their friendship is winning the respect of Kollywood.'Billa' has won a name for the way it has been made and a host of stars including Jeeva and Ramesh turned up for the opening at Chennai's Inox theatre.
Ajith arranged a special show of 'Billa' at Four Frames preview theater for his close friends. Vijay and his wife Sangeetha, Surya and Karthi attended the show.After the film, Vijay hugged and complimented Ajith as well as lavished praise on director Vishnuvardhan.After the screening, Ajith hosted a dinner at a well-known 5 star hotel. Ajith's friendliness to stars and fans of late has been much respected and well received.

choreographers-turned-directors with Ajith's 'Aegan.'
Sundaram's actual launch ought to have been the Dhanush debacle 'Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram.' But midway through the shoot he was out of it.
Whatever transpired should augur well for the director who returns anew with Ajith and Nayantara, the hit pair of 'Billa.'
Interestingly, actor Arun Pandian is the co-producer of 'Aegan.' Asked how he chose to work with Raju Sundaram, whose maiden venture hadn't really taken off, a piqued Ajith replied, "What's that got to do with this project? Raju is a fabulous choreographer and I'm confident he'll deliver as a director also. What happened earlier is not my concern."
The erstwhile hero Suman, who made his comeback in to Tamil films with 'Sivaji' as a villain is getting more offers to act as villain. The handsome star, who fought with the Superstar in 'Sivaji', will now battle with Ajith in his forthcoming movie 'Aegan'.
Suman got the chance to act in 'Sivaji' after Prakashraj refused to act as a villain in the mega movie produced by AVM and directed by Shankar. The director then approached Suman and the rest is history.
Suman's handling of the character won him lot of accolades and he started getting calls from many filmmakers to act as villain in their films. The actor, however, was determined to act only with the big heroes and hence refused many offers that came his way.
Finally he has got the offer he was waiting for. Raju Sundaram, director of 'Aegan', approached him to don the role of the villain in the film. Suman, who gleefully accepted the offer, is now preparing to clash with Ultimate Star.
The sought- after hero in Tamil cinema will be playing the role of a honest policeman in Aegan, directed by choreographer-turned-director Raju Sundaram.
One of the big budget movies to be made in the recent times, Aegan is produced by Ayngaran International.
Speaking about the film, Raju Sundaram says, 'it is an action-packed entertainer. Ajit plays a energetic role. He has grown a beard and toned down his muscles for the film. We shot a few action scenes in Hong Kong and plans are on to shoot the movie in Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland'.
Heaping praises on Ajit, Raju says, 'Nayantara plays the female lead and the on-screen chemistry with the hero is a major highlight'.
Ajit and Nayantara come together after the blockbuster Billa. Expectations are high among their fans.
Denying reports that the movie is a remake of the hit Hindi film, Raju says, 'it is a thriller and is loaded with action all through. Ajit has performed all the stunt sequences himself'.
Asked about the title, he says, 'it refers to the Almighty. Lord Shiva is called as Aegan by his devotees in Siva Purana. The title is quite appropriate for the story'.
Also in the cast are Suhasini Manirathinam, Navdeep, Jayaram, Suman, Nasser and M S Baskar among others.
Music is scored by Yuvanshankar Raja while dialogues are by S Ramakrishnan.
widespread grapevine suggested that Ajith addresses his girl as Joan.
Shalini delivered Anoushka in a caesarean surgery in the Apollo Hospital in the wee hours of January 03, 2008 at 01.30 a.m. Ajith was with Shalini during her labor and was also allowed to be present inside the operation theatre and watch the surgery with the doctor team.
Rajusundaram ordered Ajith to fight with Jakie Chan's stunt master. Ajith obeyed and the stunt went on in Hong Kong for 15 long days.
Rajusundaram ordered Ajith to accept Nayanthara as his wife and now Ajith is singing duet with Nayanthara.
Rajusundaram ordered Ajith to change his career as a very strict police officer who does things as per the order received from his seniors, and Ajith is doing the same.
All the above are for Rajusundaram directed and Ajith starred Agen.
This is the first movie Rajusundaram is directing even though he has been dance master for more than 1000s of movies.
Sivaji Productions, who produced Superstar Rajinikanth's blockbuster Chandramukhi, is planning to produce a movie featuring Ultimate Star Ajith in the lead. The production house has booked Ajith for the film, which will be his next project after Raju Sundaram's 'Aegan', produced by Ayngaran International.
The big budget film will have Gautham Vasudeva Menon as its director. It would be the first time Gautham coming together with Ajith. Prabhu, one of the producers of Sivaji Productions, says that it would be a stylish action packed entertainer. The movie is likely to have music by Harris Jayaraj, Gautham Menon's favorite. The heroine could be from Bollywood.
Ajith, who is concentrating on his current project with Raju Sundaram, would come to the movie by September. Prabhu will don an important role in this project.
Tail: The producers have denied the rumour suggesting that the movie would be a remake of Sivaji Ganesan's hit movie 'Puthiya Paravai'.
Vijay, who is very keen in not allowing his child's picture appearing in the media, has advised Ajith to follow the same policy. Vijay, in fact, did not allow any one to take photograph till the child completed one year.
Ajith, who has decided to follow Vijay's advice, hasn't given any photographs of his child to the media. He has even refused to tell the name of the child.
Jayaram is acting in an important role in Ajith's 'Aegan'.
'Aegan' directed by Raju Sundaram is progressing fast. After 'Billa', Nayantara again is Ajith's pair in this film.
Navdeep who featured in 'Ilavattam' and ' Nenjil' is acting as Ajith's brother. Though there is a pair for him in the film, who it is, is yet to be decided.
Nazar and Suhasini are also acting in 'Ekan' and Jayaram too has agreed to act in it.
The second schedule of the shooting is about to start in Ooty. Ajit will be appearing with a beard in a different kind of get up in the film. The story of the film is kept as secret. Kodambakkam news is that this story was created when 'Sivapuranam' got into trouble.
Titled Aegan and directed by Raju Sundaram, Ajith's next movie is touted to release on 15th August! Independence will be extra special for Ajith fans, should this happen!
Aegan is said to have a storyline similar to that of Shah Rukh Khan's Main Hoon Na, hence we will see him in the guise of an undercover cop. And after a long search, Raju has handed the lady lead role to Nayantara. Lets hope that the luck the duo brought to Billa, will work out here as well!
Meaning 'the one and only', Aegan has been finalized as the title of Ajith's next movie, for which shooting is already underway! Informed sources say that the title, Aegan, is a word used in praise of Lord Shiva and means 'unique'. For Ajith, who is indeed a one-of-kind star, this title fits like a crown! Aegan is directed by dance master-turned-director Raju Sundaram and produced by Ayangaran International, which co-produced the victorious Billa. Released in December, Billa continues to rock the cine scene, unperturbed by the host of films that have hit the screen since.
Given the immense success of Billa, there's quite a lot of pressure on Raju to deliver. He is thoroughly confident in his story which is similar to the story of Shah Rukh's Main Hoon Na. And he has great faith in Thalai's acting prowess. As for the lead lady… If rumours are to be believed, then Katrina will fill that part. Let's hope that Aegan will let help the Ultimate Star ascend higher in cine space!

The Chief Minister congratulated the star on his fatherliness and enquired about his wife Shalini and the baby. He also promised to attend the special screening.
Sources say that the meeting lasted for about 15 minutes. However, no date has been finalised yet for the special screening.
Though the young couple married in 2000, they had been postponing the childbirth. Finally Shalini conceived in 2006. Ajith came down to Chennai from Malaysia, when doctors confirmed Shalini's pregnancy during mid May.
The ideal couple is sharing a pleasant and healthy relationship between them. Shalini is believed to be the backbone of Ajith's revitalization after a series of setbacks due to many failures. He has been benefited by the immense support from Shalini, who gave up acting after the marriage.
The picture was taken just after the completion of caesarian operation held in Apollo Hospital, Chennai on the early hours of January 3.
The wait is over! Ajith and Shalini are now blessed with a bundle of joy. Shalini gave birth to a girl child in the early hours (1.40 AM. - 2.10 AM) of today.
Shalini was admitted in Apollo Hospital in Chennai yesterday morning. The child was born after a caesarian operation. Both the mother and child are in good condition, confirm the sources close to the couple.
The couple couldn't have had a better New Year gift. Ajith, who is basking in the glory of the success of his latest film 'Billa', is on cloud nine. The couple is quite happy to have a new entrant in their life.
It's worth recalling that Ajith said in a press meet conducted former to the release of 'Billa' that he or Shalini had no choice concerning the gender of the baby. "We want the child to be healthy", was his response.
Ajith is said to sport stubble for this movie and images made available by amateur paparazzis who managed to sneak a snap of the actor during the shoots reveal the same. Sources speak in hushed whispers that director Raju Sundaram felt Ajith's ungroomed whiskers looked good on him that he asked him not to get rid of them for the shoots and thus born a new look.
The crew will return to India after their shoots are over and proceed to Ooty for next schedule.
After acting in the remake of a Rajinikanth's film, Ajith is all set to act in another remake. It will be a movie that featured the legendary actor 'Nadigar Thilagam' Sivaji Ganesan.
Sivaji Productions is planning to remake Sivaji's blockbuster 'Puthiya Paravai', for which the choice of the director is yet to be decided.
Ajith will act in Sivaji's role, while Prabhu will play the role of the distinctive actor M.R. Radha. The selection of heroine and music director will be made soon. It is tipped that either K.S. Ravikumar or Vishnuvardhan will direct the movie.So it will be another remake to Ajith, whose market was redeemed by a remake.
Ultimate star Ajith Kumar has preferred Yuvan Shankar Raja to score music while Raju Sundaram has Harris Jayaraj in his mind. Sreekar Prasad will take care of editing while Nirav Shah's assistant would be handling camera works…..
Raju Sundaram and Ajith have approached Katrina Kaif for playing heroine role and they have been waiting for her confirmation. Ayangaran Films International produces this film and Raju Sundaram has been given the set of rules of handling production works….
At present, Thala seems to be enjoying himself his days with his wife and baby girl at his house…..
Followed by the success of Billa, we are sure the entire world is looking for the launch of 'Thala's next untitled movie to direct by Raju Sundaram. Now ajithfans.com has got something special about Ajith's next movie and it is going to be a remake.
Main Hoon Naa was a great hit in Bollywood starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmitha Sen in the lead role. The film happened to be a stupendous entertainer fetching good collections at box-office. Now with alterations, Raju Sundaram is making ready of the script and Ajith Kumar is expected to play the role of a chief investigative police officer. Meanwhile the buzz is the project has been delayed this month and kick start only next month according to the close sources of the production.
The film will start rolling once heroine gets finalized and now the most exciting fact is that either Bollywood alluring actress Katrina Kaif or Bipasha Basu will be donning female lead roles. Crazy Mohan takes care of dialogues for this film.
Nothing is quite as cute as a piece man cuddling a cherubic infant! That's quite what Thalai is busying him with these days!
As the devoted husband, he was beside his wife every second, a few days prior to her delivery. And now, he continues to do that but with the additional responsibility of being a devoted daddy! And who can blame him! After quite a long wait, Ajith and wife Shalini have been blessed with a child, and all they should do now is excitement over the baby!
Everybody's question 'When is the baby coming?' is now replaced with 'What are they going to name her?' Most often it is the most difficult part about having a baby – choosing the perfect name. Every one has a name to suggest!
The star couple is taking their own time to zero in on the right name, but till then, it is said daddy fondly calls her Joan! Why Joan, we don't know and whether Joan will stick on as the actual name, we'll have to wait to find out!
With Billa rocking the show, and a baby rocking his life you could say that Ajith could take a nice long vacation to soak up all the joy. But nope, later this month he will start shooting for his next project that is to be directed by Raju Sundaram. This part of the news has been making it rounds now. Well, the new addition to it is that after sweeping the country for a suitable lady lead, Raju has anchored on the hazy bong babe Bipasha. Word has it that she has been offered a pay that has several zeroes more than the pay of the highest paid Kollywood heroine! And yet Bips is still only considering!
If the rumour is to true, Bips is probably taking her time in responding to Raju because of her not very successful Kollywood stint in Sachin, where a lot of scenes that had the actress fell prey to the Censor's sheers! For those who want the rumour to be true, keep those fingers and toes crossed!
Ultimate star Ajith is on cloud nine with the amazing success of Billa and his joy reached a higher zenith with wife Shalini delivering a baby girl. On the professional front, he had committed to a film to be directed by Raju Sundaram which was reported to commence after Shalini's delivery as the couple was keen that Ajith be present during her labor.
Now that everything has fallen in place, he has decided to resume work from the 18th, after celebrating Pongal with his family.
The actor along with Raju Sundaram's crew is all set to fly to Hong Kong on the 18th where they intend to start filming the stunt scenes which is an unusual norm in the industry. The reason, sources say, is that they haven't zeroed in on the leading lady. Many names had done the rounds in the past few weeks starting first with Shriya and things have now come a full circle as the Sivaji lady seems to be the person most likely to play Ajith's lady love. Inside sources close to the director indicate that Ajith plays the role of an intelligence officer in the film.
Movie buff, who was disheartened by the not so entertaining Flash, were absolutely fascinated by Billa. The number of Thalai fans in God's own country have increased, manifold. His suave looks and don-perfect attitude, have just floored the audiences in Kerala. Vishnu's Hollywood style making has impressed the Kerala audience greatly, as has Yuvan's music and Nirav's camera work.
The movie released in 25 screens on the 28th of December 2007 and has been running to packed shows since. Billa marks Ajith's biggest opening in the state, yet! The King of Openings has proved that he is King even in foreign land!
Looks like Ajith is now taking additional care in choosing films. After opting for a stylish remake of Billa, the Ultimate Star is all set to star in a film by Gautam Menon, whose Kaakha Kaakha brought a unique style to Tamil cinema.
This film will be produced by Sivaji Productions. It is said that Ajith and Prabhu, who worked together for Billa, developed a good relationship and Prabhu expressed his willingness to make a movie for his home banner with Ajith in the lead.
Ajith, who has taken time off to be with his hopeful wife Shalini, will be shooting from February for Ayngaran International's Akbar, to be directed by Raju Sundaram. Gautam is currently shooting Vaaranam Aayiram with Surya and the movie will be completed soon. Once their present engagements are complete, the new project will begin.
Billa is certainly the blockbuster it was expected to be! Audiences and media personnel have lauded Vishnu, Ajith and team for their brilliant work that has made the 2007 Billa a huge hit, just like the 1980 version. However, the most prized honor came yesterday from the man who starred in the original!
A private screening of Billa was arranged for the special viewing of Rajinikanth, along with 2007 Billa's director Vishnu Vardhan and producer L. Suresh. The Super Star was obviously happy about the movie and congratulated Vishnu Vardhan on the way he had made the film. Rajni was also very impressed with the way Ajith had redefined the don. A proud moment for all involved, indeed!
It's a rise of new dawn after three consecutive versions; the fourth don has finally hit the screens this Friday. The entire media focusing on the 4 th don has Ajith's enchanting performance and an excellent directorial by Vishnuvardhan.
Well, as you all know first it was Amitabh's Don that later remade into Tamil titled 'Billa' starring Superstar Rajnikanth. Fine! The dons' era wasn't over with this for Farah Akthar remade the Hindi version with Shah Rukh in lead role with pinch of variations with original version.
Vishnuvardhan might have felt it would be right choice to remake the Tamil version too. With the same thought was our Thala who had an eye towards remakes of the same regional movies. But was not sure about the remake movie he wanted to go for. Awestruck by his enthralling performance in Varalaru, Rajnikanth patted Ajith's shoulder and here was the re-birth of Billa. Expressing his likeness of remaking films of Rajnikanth, he opted for Billa and superstar had a green signal made ready for him.
Grouping all these 4 versions of same movie, they all had great leading superstars Amithab Bacchan, Rajnikanth, Shah Rukh and now Ajith. All the versions have been presented well, but there always exists a problem of comparisons.
Coming up with this issue, Ajith Kumar has his statement requesting not to compare all the four versions. In particular, he pleads all not compare himself with other stars who have enacted the same role in different versions. That's right, everyone posses something unique and they are different in one or the other way. More info Watch on www.billa2007.com
It is not difficult to catch the 'coooool'ness of Billa in brief… it is impossible!
Yes, Vishnu Vardhan's Billa (which premiered in a few select cinema halls in Chennai today), releasing tomorrow, proved that it is not just another remake of an old trendy film, but magical and a visual treat with its own style and individuality.
Vishnu's style-mantra project starts with a bang and ends in an explosion, that's how punch-packed it is. "Part mark of respect, part original, all superficial" is a good description of this movie in which everyone (not just the hero!) looks and sounds simply smashing, with their clipped dialogues, power-dressing and loads of attitude. Plus, Vishnu has ensured that the movie stays within the 2 hour-15 minute time frame, a proof of the tight script and screenplay.
Does Billa actually need a story introduction? Proving wrong all the noise that Vishnu's Billa is exactly like Shah Rukh Khan's Don, the movie is INDEED like the Rajinikanth "original"… but with twists and a look and feel completely unique and probably the starkest ever made in Tamil cinema. Quite unlike SRK's Don, the colours in Billa are not rich and opulent – they are clean, suppressed, modern, even Zen at times. There is a lot of black, brown and olive hues, set in contrast to great swathes of white and cream. In such starkness, Ajith as Billa, comes forth larger than life and more stylish than any movie he has done in a long time.
Speaking of Ajith, he is quite clearly the very centre of the movie; he is the eye of the storm that tosses you about for 2+ hours. He looks handsome, hot and very much a "Thala". While SRK had a metrosexual, clean-shaven look, Ajith sports a devil-may-care and raw-edged stubble that only adds to the masculinity. Plus, his personality is dark, cold and silent as Billa; in complete contrast to the cheeky Velu.
With Billa, the female is as deadly, if not deadlier, than the male. Namitha plays CJ, the gangster's moll, but with a toughness and shrewdness worthy of any top boss. She is sexy, unabashed, fearless and perhaps even as ruthless as Billa himself. And she loves him to death. Literally.
Nayantara is the one out to tame the beast, consumed by the need for revenge. She is an electric mix of sexy and tough, beauty and fighting skill.
Prabhu is individually Prabhu. His authority and intelligence reminds one of Gautam Vishwanath of Mani Ratnam's Agninakshatram. Rahman plays the Interpol officer with some deadly tricks up his sleeve and Rose Dawn plays the woman who quite possibly, has put all these people together.
David Billa (Ajith). Most-wanted gangster, hiding and operating out of Malaysia, on the top of Interpol's criminal list. A lone tiger he is, and a ruthless one at that. As he says, "Look at history. If you want to live, to survive, you can kill any number of people, for any reason." This is Billa – scheming, clever, slippery, enigmatic and dangerous. No one knows his story, really, except that he literally clawed his way to where he is now, from an orphaned and deprived childhood to the top of the food chain. Along the way, he bent and broke every rule for not just survival, but for money, power and love of the game.
DSP Jayprakash (Prabhu) has spent a huge chunk of the last few years looking for the elusive Billa. He has left a life behind in India, only to base himself in Malaysia and strategies the capture of the man who has 50 high-profile crime cases slapped against him. As luck would have it, his path does cross Billa's and from then on, it's a rollercoaster ride. What happens to Billa? Who is Velu? How does Jayprakash use him to round up Billa's operations? DOES he actually close Billa's shop for good? How are CJ (Namitha) and Sasha (Nayantara) involved? How does he get the help of Interpol officer Gokulnath (Rahman)? What part does Rhia (Rose Dawn) play in Billa's life? Questions, questions, questions. For a movie that is supposedly a religious remake of the original, Vishnu's Billa manages to evoke all these doubts and keep you admiring everything from the view to the sounds and thrills.
Two people who deserve special mention for Billa looking and sounding as good as it does are Nirav Shah and Yuvanshankar Raja.
Nirav has magic in his camera and the way he has played with angles and lighting quite on par with a Hollywood biggie – very international, very cool. Everyone knows the kind of output he gives in a Vishnu Vardhan movie, but the clean colours, the cold cruelty and the minimalistic backdrops are brought to complete clarity by him.
Yuvan's music is brilliant! Every single song sounds great and now that you can experience the audio-visuals, it only gets better. The music gives the visuals so much attitude, so much mystery and arrogance that it is a superb blend. The theme song is probably the best because it arrives with drama and fervour at the right places throughout the movie.
Anu Vardhan's costumes are in keeping with the personalities of the protagonists – Ajith is urbane and casually, carelessly slick in suits, as Billa; scruffy and lovable as Velu in faded jeans and messy t-shirts and shirts; Nayantara is power-packed and as attitude-filled as Billa himself and dressed in leather, tights, boots and olives. Namitha is a true moll without being a floozy. She is curvaceous, devoted to Billa and smart in her own way. The actresses' roles could have been a bit more or a bit stronger, but we will leave that point for now.
All in all, Billa is definitely worth a watch. Or two. Or three or more!
Billa is back… and he is smashingly dynamic!
Reinforcing this notion, the 'King of Opening' has made a rare gesture towards his fans. Despite pressure from the director and producer to have international premieres for his forthcoming film Billa, Ajith has informed them that he wants to show the film to his loyal fans in India first.
Acceding to their hero's request, the makers have now cancelled the intended premieres in Chennai, Kaula Lampur and UK. Though it might come as a dissatisfaction to the city's elite, who were hoping to walk the red carpet on December 13, the news is bound to be a cause for festivity for fans who will ensure their thala's magnum opus gets a great opening.
Pyramid Saimira, who has procured the distribution rights, is all set for the worldwide release of the film on December 14.
The buzz made round last week saying that Yuvan Shankar Raja had not completed the RR of the movie and hence the release of the movie would get delayed.The rumour, however, has proved to be wrong.
'Billa' is released in a week where there is no other release. Later this month, Christmas and New Year holidays could well boost the business of 'Billa'.
