Siddharth turns singer

Young actor Siddharth is eagerly awaiting the release of his forthcoming film Udhayam NH4 directed by debutant Manimaran which has story and screenplay written by Vetrimaran. The audio of the film was launched recently and the young actor has turned a singer with the film lending his voice for one of the songs in the Telugu version of the film.

The film starring Siddharth and newcomer Ashrita Shetty is touted as an action thriller has music by G V Prakash Kumar, will be released by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies. Expressing happiness on his singing a song, Siddharth tweeted recently “Fantastic album from GV Prakash for ‘Udhayam NH4′. I have sung on the Telugu album.”

Udhayam NH4 is produced jointly by Dhayanidhi Azhagiri’s Meeka Entertainment and Vetrimaaran’s Grass Root Film Company.

Siddarth in demand

Siddharth, who will be seen in David Dhawan’s comic caper Chashme Baddoor, had three films in his kitty when he signed Chashme Baddoor. An interesting trivia which we stumbled upon, ChashmeBaddoor was largely shot in Goa and then Mauritius. Siddharth, who was simultaneously shooting for his other films would shoot his part, then fly down south shoot for his respective films and then again fly down to Goa. But he would always reach on sets on time. No one from the production team would have any knowledge about his whereabouts or which part of the country Siddharth would be shooting in, but would always reach on the sets on time.

When quizzed David Dhawan, he said, “Siddharth was shooting for other films as well when we shot Chashme Baddoor, but not once did it ever happen that he did not reach the sets on time, if the call time was 7 am, and he would not be in Goa, he would still manage to reach on time. I never knew where he was shooting. Sometimes he would be in Hyderabad, sometimes in Chennai, a very hard working boy, I have known him since the last 7-8 yrs and he is like family to me.”Siddharth surely knows how to reach the right place at the right time.

Siddharth’s new look in Udhayam NH4

Siddharth appears with a different look in his upcoming flick Udhayam NH4. The movie is taking shape in the hands of Manimaran, a former associate of Vetrimaran. Ashrita Shetty is making her debut with this film. Udhayam NH4 is anticipated to be April release.

Siddharth has given up his lover boy look and changes his attire with some rough and rugged style in Udhayam NH4. A single form Udhayam NH4 named “Yaroo Ivan” was released on Valentine’s Day and is already in the top position in the chartist.

Bollywood actor Kay kay Menon is playing a prominent role in this movie. G.V.Prakash composed the tunes for this film and cinematography is by Velraj. Vetrimaran and Dhayanandh Aligiri are producing this film under Meeka Entertainment and Grass Root Film Company.

Taapsee does her first kiss scene

Taapsee Pannu has been a sensation among mass audience in South film industries. The actress, with her glamorous avatars, has been turning on the heat and has become one of the few actresses in demand. The 25-year-old, who is now making her debut in Bollywood, seems to be ready to repeat the same magic in Hindi film industry.

Well, Tapasee Pannu has done her first kiss scene in Chashme Baddoor. It has been confirmed by her co-star Ali Zafar. In an interview, the Pakistani singer-turned-actor has claimed that he has shared a lip-lock with the actress in the movie. He said, “I met the cast on the day of the first scene itself. When I asked David sir what to do, he told me for my first scene I would have to kiss Taapsee. I didn’t know what to say. I was meeting her for the first time.”

The Hindi movie, which will release on April 5, also stars our own Siddharth and Divyendu Sharma (ofPyaar Ka Punchnama fame) in important roles.

Samantha defends her relationship with Siddarth

The tabloids had a field day when they spotted that Siddarth and Samantha’s proximity grew increasingly closer at an audio release function in Hyderabad. There were plenty of reports which suggested that both of them couldn’t take their eyes of each other the whole time and suspected that something might be brewing between them.

Samantha though was quick to defend her relationship with Siddarth as being nothing more than professional. She finds it as a bit of a monotonous routine that the media cooks up matters such as this for nearly every project that she’s involved with. She and Siddarth are working together on a Telugu film titled Jabardasth and it will be dubbed in Tamil as Dum Dum Pee Pee.

Hansika the busy bee

Hansika has been shooting for seven films simultaneously these days. Apparently, apart from her current projects, the actress has kept four other filmmakers waiting for her confirmation to sign on the dotted line. She’s said to be shooting every single day for the past few months. A source close to the actress says, “She will be shooting on all days till April. She’s planning a vacation only after that. Since childhood, Hansika has been a hard worker and it’s only because of her sheer inner strength that she’s able to manage her heavily-packed schedule. Right now, her only motive is to complete all the films without any confusion. For the four projects that have come her way, she has to re-work her schedule and plan accordingly.”

The source further adds, “She is essaying the role of a journalist in Biriyani. She will be shooting for it later this month.” The actress is currently shooting in Hyderabad for Sundar C’s flick with Siddharth.
