Seems like the South stars are making their move on Bollywood in a big way this year. Already we have seen Asin, Trisha Krishnan and Priyamani make their mark and will also see Kajal Agarwal and Ileana D'Cruz enter the industry with the remake of Singham and Anurag Basu's Barfi respectively but the men are not far behind. Suriya Sivakumar's performance in Rakta Charitra 2 has been applauded despite mixed reviews. But the south star that has our interest is the talented National Award Winner Prakash Raj.
Although we have seen Prakash Raj in 2009 blockbuster Wanted, the actor has been busy with his South commitments, including his home production Silent Movies' Telugu suspense drama Gaganam that has garnered critical and commercial success. But the actor is all set to return with the remake of the Tamil film Singham in a role he did in the original. While the story has stayed the same,...

Initially, the film buffs were little disappointed as the films of Kamal Haasan and Vijay were postponed from Diwali. Although Kamal Haasan has completed shooting for Manmadhan Ambu, the film cannot be released for this festive occasion as it would nearly take 50 days to complete postproduction works. On the pars, Vijay’s Kaavalan was supposed to wrap the shooting schedules by last month itself and it was delayed due to Asin’s hectic calendar with Hindi film Ready (Salman Khan plays the lead role and the film is a remake of yesteryear Telugu hit movie Ready).
Although these films have been delayed from release, the fans have more reasons to smile as other league of films is hitting screens.
