Chennai
(UNI):
Eight
new
releases
are
all
set
to
hit
the
marquee
in
Kollywood
this
Diwali,
something
happening
for
the
first
time
during
the
last
ten
years
which
the
trade
pundits
say
has
the
potential
to
work
up
film
buffs
as
well
as
the
Tamil
Film
Industry
into
a
frenzy.
However,
with
the
box-office
in
Kollywood
doing
good
business
particularly
with
some
small
budget
films,
producers
of
the
traditional
'Diwali
releases'
have
kept
their
fingers
crossed
and
are
hoping
for
the
success.
''Everything
depends
on
the
story
and
the
confidence
a
producer
or
a
director
enjoys
with
the
buyer.
One
must
be
able
to
sell
his
film
on
his
own,''
a
PRO
told
UNI.
From actors' point of view, this Diwali is going to be special for 'Supreme hero' Sarat Kumar, who would be making his debut as Director besides playing the lead role in his actress wife Radhika's production Thalaimagan. ''Sarat would also be reaching the milestone of 100 with this film. None of his three films, released since last year, had done well for Sarat who was in the political limelight early this year. He had switched allegiance to the then ruling AIADMK from the DMK for whom he was a Rajya Sabha MP. The box-office is pinning hopes on another dark-skinned actor Vijayakant, who recently launched new party DMDK and was also emerged the lone winner to make his debut as an MLA. With his latest release, Perarasu, which had not done well on the box-office, Vijayakant also looks forward to Dharmapuri, produced by the man A M Ratnam. He plays a 'do gooder' in the film.
Another young actor Simbu, son of actor-director-writer and musician T Rajenther, will be wielding the megaphone for the first time with Vallavan, which also holds hopes of good entertainment for his fans. For Ajith, who had given up his foray into Motor Racing as an F3 driver in the English circuit, the run of good luck at the box-office could continue. His previous film Tirupati for the prestigious AVM productions banner was a hit. He hopes Varalaru (History), originally titled in English Godfather and then changed to avail of entertainment tax waiver and subsidy from the state government for Tamil-titled films, would bring him another hit. The Diwali would also be special for action hero Arjun, who has not had a release for a long time. His Vaathiyar made by A Venkatesan is being looked forward to by his fans, who love the slam-bang action he often doles out on the screen. Other films lined up for the release include Ee starring Jeeva and directed by S P Jagannathan, revolving around smuggling and terrorism, with a lot of technical glitz, -- Kizhakku Kadarkarai starring Srikkanth directed by S S Stanley and Vattaram directed by Saran, who is also the maker of hits like Paarthen Rasithen.
