Venkat Prabhu's next film is titled as GODHA it seems, Premgi Amaran the younger brother has tweeted this news in the social networking site with a colorful poster designed.
Chennai 28 the maiden venture of Venkat Prabhu got release in the year 2007. The film had very less promotions and came out with no expectations at all, but it turned out to be the trendsetter for the tamil cinema audience.
The movie got rave reviews from the critics and audiences as well. The story revolved around a group of friends who live, eat and pray for Cricket. The team was fully youthful with Jai, Mirchi Shiva, Premgi Amaran, Aravind Akash, Nithin Sathya and newcomers Ajay Raj, Ranjith, Vijay Vasanth, Prasanna and Arun in the lead along with Vijayalakshmi.
Since then Venkat Prabhu and the team wanted a sequel of Chennai 28. Now after giving continuous hits like Saroja, Goa and Mankatha the director wishes to play something cool. Now fans of Venkat Prabhu will have a Godha New Year ahead.
Okay what does Godha means? JUMP INTO THE BATTLE FIELD.
The actor was through vigorous shooting schedules for his upcoming film ‘Maatran’ and he was back in Chennai recently. Thanking media channels for the good reviews and appreciations, the actor continued to shed more light on the project, about its pros and cons.
HARDWORK RESULTS IN SUCCESS
Actor Suriya uttered that the entire team had to go through hurdles and somehow managed to accomplish with the perfection levels. ‘I had toilsome moments while working for climax portions. The final combat between me and John was shot nearly for 20 days due to weather conditions. John belongs to the fourth generation of martial arts family and I could practice stunts only between the shots. I cannot forget A.R. Murugadoss giving ‘Pack Up’ unable to bear my sufferings. But today, I am happy that the film has yielded has good results.’
NEW ATTEMPTS RECEIVE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS
While speaking about the mixed reviews for the film, actor Suriya didn’t miss to bring ‘Moon’ into picture. ‘It’s a beautiful creation that we keep admiring all throughout our lives. On the contrary, we do see the dirty spots over it. But when it is viewed on whole, we enjoy it. Similarly this film has been exposed to both positive and negative reviews. We are ready to accept everything as we believe both in the film critics and audiences’ judgment as well. After reading reviews, one of the versatile filmmakers of Tamil film industry had watched the movie. He called me up and congratulated for a wonderful movie and mentioned that there aren’t any flaws in this film as mentioned in the reviews.
PLEASE ASK A.R. MURUGADOSS
As journalists started bringing forth the flip side of this film, he said, “I had given me ideas and certain views to director A.R. Murugadoss and I cannot interfere more into the director’s work. But as on whole, I feel the director has done justice to his job.”
About the scenes involving LTTE deleted in Sri Lanka, the actor mentioned that they cannot do anything with the Foreign Government. ‘Do you actually know the list of 9 countries that betrayed the Tamil leader that occurs in your dialogue?’ He paused giving a smile asking them to direct the question towards A.R. Murugadoss.
‘Let’s not separate ourselves as Eelam Tamilian, Singapore and Malaysia. It is good to feel oneness amongst us’ totted up Suriya.
UNEASINESS WITH SHRUTHI HAASAN
The actor didn’t miss to say that for the first few days he was nervous working with Suriya Haasan as he was able to see father Kamal Haasan in her. But very soon they developed cordiality with her friendliness. When asked about the limited romance in this film, Suriya said that the film didn’t require the usual stuff and they wanted treatment to be completely different from the usual paradigms.
VIJAY, SANGEETHA, JYOTHIKA AND VELAYUDHAM
The actor is elated with the grand success of both ‘Ezham Arivu’ and ‘Velayutham’ as well. ‘I am happy that the industry is so healthy as it churns out varieties of movies at the same time. While a new attempt is made, it’s necessary that commercial genre should be very much available. My upcoming movies after the ‘Maatran’ are going to be commercial entertainers. Jyothika invited Vijay’s wife Sangeetha for the special screening of Ezham Arivu and she was very much impressed. I didn’t have time to watch Velayutham and will soon do it.’
WEBSITES HAVE BEEN MY STRENGTH
Thanking online portals, Suriya said that the system is much different from the newspapers and magazines as it offers synergistic way of relationship with the fans all over the globe. I am easily connected with the fans and it helps me a lot taking their feedbacks and views.

The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners’ Association has issued a press statement in which it has been stated that the theatres in Tamil Nadu will not screen films by Sun Pictures henceforth unless the issue is resolved. According to the press release, Sun Pictures is yet to refund the deposit amount for films like Endhiran, Sura, Vettaikaran, and Mappillai. Despite several rounds of talks with the Sun Pictures’ officials, the amount has not been settled; therefore, it has been decided not to screen their films until this issue is resolved.
Further, the press note mentions about the 30 percent entertainment tax imposed by the State Government and their request to CM J Jayalalitha to consider reducing it. The Theatre Owners also appealed to the CM to decrease the entertainment tax by 50 percent for films that are screened in less than 50 screens.
The theatres owners also intend to meet the CM soon with a request to set right the ticket rates in the state.
There is a speculation going on in Kollywood that Ajith may star in Badshah 2. He is all set to do a film for producer AM Rathnam and the producer is toying with idea of either making a sequel to Indian or Badshah.
It is rumored that AM Rathnam had a word with Rajinikanth who had essayed the lead role in Badshah about the sequel and the Superstar had given his assent. We also hear that Rajini is keen that Ajith must star in the film.
