The Endhiran truth!

Looks like the buzz about Endiran releasing for this Diwali are nothing but rumors. A source close to the Endhiran stable revealed that although 85% of the movie is wrapped up except for a few scenes, the major chunk of the task, the post-production work is expected to extend for a year. Made at a whopping budget, Endhiran’s graphics and visual effects are the highlights and will go on for about a year before the movie is ready to embellish the movie screens.

Endhiran songs on the net

Two songs from the Rajinikanth-Aishwarya Rai starrer Endhiran has found its way to YouTube.com. The footage, which runs to about four minutes, is of good clarity and shows Rajini and Ash rehearsing with a host of dancers at the backdrop. With both sound as well as visual clarity, the two songs are creating waves among the movie buffs. YouTube is said to have recorded over 13,000 hits so far. It is worth mentioning here that Oscar winner AR Rahman had scored the music for Endhiran.

Since it is not a copyright infringement, the Endhiran team cannot ask YouTube to remove it from the site, sources say. Rajinikanth and Shankar are furious over this leak and it needs to be seen if the songs will be replaced.

Accident on Endhiran’s set

There was an unfortunate accident today on the sets of Sun Pictures’ Endhiran. A big set of a hospital had been erected along the OMR road for the film’s shooting. The accident occurred early in the morning when preparations were in full swing for the day’s work; a crew member suffered a serious electric shock. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in Adyar where he is now admitted. Reports on his condition are awaited though it is being said that he is out of danger.

As shooting was yet to start when the accident took place, none of the artistes were present at that time. The scenes that were scheduled to be shot for the day have been postponed.

This accident on the sets of Endhiran comes right on the back of reports of a very unfortunate incident at the shooting spot of Raavan. Hope that both movies are able to overcome these temporary setbacks soon.

Rajini hails Vairamuthu

Kaviyarasu Vairamuthu is truly a magician of lyrics. His abundant literary works and countless musical compositions are priceless treasures of Tamil cinema. Recently the great poet and lyricist had impressed our Superstar Rajinikanth. Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics for few songs in Rajni’s ‘Endhiran’. Endhiran, meaning Robot, tells the story of a man who invents a robot. To suit the situation, Vairamuthu had written that as the robot is invented by a man, it has ‘father tongue’ and not ‘mother tongue’. Rajnikanth was bowled over this and wondered at Vairamuthu’s intelligence. A humble Vairamuthu said that even the director Shankar and Superstar were to share the appreciation for this line. Well, we all are highly impressed with you sir, for all the memorable songs you have given so far.
