It's
the
beginning
of
a
new
week
and
it's
business
as
usual.
As
we
have
been
bringing
you
highlights
of
the
past
week
from
the
world
of
Tamil
cinema,
it's
time
to
check
out
what
defined
Kollywood
last
week(30th
of
March
to
5th
of
April).
What
about
a
confession
of
sorts
to
begin
with?
Yes,
Vidya
Balan,
said
in
an
interview
that
both
Malayalam
and
Tamil
are
her
native
languages
and
that
she
would
love
to
work
in
a
Tamil
film
if
someone
comes
up
with
a
good
script.
Next
up,
a
reunion
after
27
years.
Last
week
it
was
confirmed
that
Radhika
will
play
an
important
role
in
Vijay
59.
The
last
time
these
two
artists
came
together
was
27
years
ago.
It
was
also
an
important
week
of
Raai
Laxmi.
The
Kanchana
girl
officially
bagged
her
first
role
to
express
herself
in
Hindi
cinema
as
she
will
be
seen
playing
a
cameo
in
AR
Murugadoss's
Akira.
The
news
that
made
all
cinema
lovers
tear
their
hair
out
last
week
was
also
a
heart-breaker.
Kamal
Haasan's
Uttama
Villain
which
was
all
set
to
be
released
on
April
10th
was
once
again
postponed
last
week.

The
Komban
Trouble
All
of
a
sudden,
a
few
groups
started
their
protest
against
the
release
of
Karthi's
Komban
citing
that
the
film
showcases
their
community
in
bad
light.
The
film
immediately
managed
to
get
the
support
of
many
movie
lovers
and
was
subsequently
a
day
before
its
initially
scheduled
date.
When
Rajinikanth
Won
A
Battle
Rajinikanth
won
his
long
term
legal
battle
against
the
makers
of
a
Hindi
film
which
had
his
name
as
the
film's
title.
The
producers
of
Mein
Hoon
Rajinikanth
agreed
to
change
the
title
to
Mein
Hoon
Part-time
Killer.
Vijay's
Helping
Nature
There
is
a
reason
why
Ilayathalapathy
Vijay
has
a
huge
fan
base
across
Tamil
Nadu.
Last
week,
the
actor
helped
three
struggling
street
vendors
by
gifting
them
a
tricycle
and
a
couple
of
vending
carts
to
help
improve
their
businesses.
Ilaiyaraaja's
Excuse
After
Skipping
Yuvan's
Wedding
Last
week
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
opened
up
about
his
father's
absence
in
his
third
wedding.
The
famed
musician
who
married
a
Muslim
girl
recently
said
that
his
father
couldn't
attend
the
wedding
due
to
his
"prior
appointments".
When

Loss
Was
Tamannaah's
Gain
Tamannaah
bagged
Shruti's
role
in
the
Karthi-Nagarjuna
bilingual
film
after
the
latter
walked
out
of
the
project.
Shruti
on
the
other
hand
went
on
to
state
that
she
hadn't
received
any
notice
from
PVP
and
that
she
is
not
restrained
from
signing
new
projects.
