Anniyan - Will the Dream Team ( Director Shankar, Vikram and Harris Jayaraj ) deliver a Block Buster ?
 

Director Shankar's previous movie 'Boys' struggled so much to even enter the box office. The film’s criticism that it was vulgar affected the box office. Oscar films Ravichandran too suffered a setback with his films Jay Jay and Thendral. So, Shankar and Oscar Ravichandran eagerly awaiting the box office results of Tamil cinema Anniyan. Anniyan travel bills alone has crossed Rs 22 lakhs. The films total budget is estimated to be Rs 26 crore. IDBI has funded the film to the tune of Rs 8.50 crores. 
 
According to Director Shankar the story line of Anniyan is , "When we travel around the International Countries, We would wonder about their economical status, Cleanliness, Life Style, etc., We also would feel that why our country has not grown like them..." The thought of this kind landed in the story of "Anniyan". Vikram's Character is very new. It would be shocking, action story, beautiful love, a very different Vikram, and bright Sadha.
 
Anniyan crew painted 350 houses beautifully in Thenkasi for a song, shot a song in Malaysian Airport for the First Time . Anniyan team conducted a Carnatic Cutcheri with the help of Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan, Arun and other numerous carnatic musicians. Almost people would feel the Thiruvaiaru Cutcheri Festival while viewing that song. 
   
Who says Shankar can’t give his best outside A.R.Rahman’s music fold? Along with Harris Jayaraj, he has made a whole lot of young gifted singers like Nakul, Melvin, G.V.Prakash, Harini, Leslie Louis, Andrea, Jassie Gift and veterans like Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan, KK and Vasundhara Das.
  
“Kannum Kannum Nokia…, Nee Kolai Kollum Mafia…, Cappacino Coffee..a O’ Sofia…” sung by Leslie Lewis, Andrea and Vasundhara Das.The Jassie Gift, KK, Shreya Ghosal number “Andan Kakka Kondaikari…” is a typical folk ‘gana’ number. The highlight of the album is “Iyengar Veetu Azhage…” sung by Hariharan and Harini. Shankar Mahedevan and Harini’s soft classical number “Kumari….” is another melodious number. 

Let see whether Anniyan Team will deliver a block buster of the year or just an ordinary film.

Shankar's Aparichitudu Review  :

(by : Manohar Chimmani - Tollywood Director )

We expect big films from Shankar. Yes. That is his brand image. With the latest Aparichitudu, Shankar tries to explain Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) in the simplest of terms. And succeeds to a maximum possible extent. From Gentleman to Boys, director Shankar's track record at the box-office is impeccable. If Gentleman, Bharateeyudu and Oke Okkadu were about corruption in society, Aparichitudu is about how procrastination is plunging our society into an irredeemable abyss. Starring Vikram, Sada, Prakash Raj and Vivek, Aparichitudu is seen through the eyes of a Brahmin lawyer, who asks us to take a look at what procrastination has done to our country. - Read full review

Aparchithudu gearing up to release!
'Gentleman' Shankar's Aparichitudu starring Vikram and Sada is gearing up to release on 17th of June in both Andhra and Tamilnadu.

In Telugu, the film is releasing with about 150 prints. Worldwide the film will release with 404 prints. High expectations are due to the crazy combination of Shankar and Vikram. Harris Jayaraj composed music for this film. The film secured a clean U certificate from the censor and also, as media sources reported, preview was shown yesterday and the report is very promising. Vikram comes in different getups in this film. Shankar wanted the film to release on 17th for sentimental reasons. His Indian released on June 17th few years ago. Vikram is captivating the audience with his mindblowing performances in variety roles starting from Sethu (Telugu Seshu). Then followed Kasi (Telugu Srinu Vasanth Laxmi), Dhil (Telugu Sriram), Gemini (Telugu Gemini), Samurai (dubbed Samurai), Pitamagan (dubbed Sivaputrudu). Now it is Aparichitudu (Anniyan). The tag line of the film itself is very different. It reads "He who comes from hell is not afraid of hot ashes". In this film Vikram is playing Ramanujam, a lawyer by profession. As told by the director, this lawyer will start a process to change the attitude of the society which is in deep slumber. Prakashraj is doing a key role, who also appears in variety getups. Sada is the heroine playing the role of Nandini.
