Kainaat Arora doing item song with Ajith!

Kollywood is importing its newest item girl from Bollywood via Ajith’s 50th film ‘Mankatha’.

She is the gorgeous Kainaat Arora who wooed the audience in the song 'Aila Re Aila' from ‘Khatta Meetha’ directed by Priyadarshan. Yes, the same film that introduced our Trisha to Bollywood.

 

Kainaat Arora is just back from doing an item song in ‘Mankatha’. She shot for the song with Ajith for four days. So what was it like dancing along with Thala. Kainaat has no words to narrate it. She raves about him and says” he is not only a great actor but a great human being too.”

Ajith on his part surprised the bombshell with his customary culinary skills too. During the four days, one day Ajith surprised Kainaat with boiled chicken, on another day he made lovely dosas and chicken soup for her.

All said and done, Kainaat is sure that her hot item song with Ajith in the film will be a visual treat to all. Let’s hope so.

Ajith’s Mankatha team goes to Mumbai

The way Cloud Nine is going about trying to stick to schedules has helped Venkat Prabhu to complete a major portion of his Ajith golden jubilee film Mankatha.

Now the unit is all set to go to Mumbai and shoot in Dharavi, one of the world's biggest slums.  One of the most difficult things is to shoot a multi-starrer. Not only you have to coordinate artist dates, but also see to it that you shoot on time at the given locations.

A big film like Mankatha which has Ajith, along with an ensemble cast including Arjun, Trisha, Lakshmi Rai, Sneha, Anjali, Vaibhav Reddy and Premji Amaren.

If all goes well, the film may be wrapped up by the first week of March and then the post production has to start.

The film is said to revolve around a gambling gang who indulges in cricket betting during IPL season.

Cloud Nine is almost certain to release Mankatha on May 1, Ajith's birthday and the start of the summer season in Kollywood.

It is the best time to release a biggie and there is unlikely to be any competition.

Anushka sign Billa-2 opposite Ajith?

Anushka Shetty continues to be Kollywood's most in demand actress to do big films.

The latest we hear is that Sweety as she is known among friends has been pencilled in to do Billa-2 with Tamil Cinema's most handsome superstar Ajith.

The good news is that Billa-2 will start rolling in the middle of April. The film is being produced by Suresh Balaji, son of the legendary producer K Balaji who originally made Rajinikanth's Billa.

Vishnuvardhan is the director and Yuvan Shankar Raja will provide music. Nirav Shah is the cameraman.

Now the big heroine hunt has started for the film. Vishnu and the makers are looking for somebody who can carry off a glam role with ease.

A source close to the development said: "The team is looking at a girl who can spring a surprise in a glam role like what Nayanthara did in Billa-1. As of now only Anushka fits the bill and her pairing with Ajith would make the film red hot".

However the trouble is that the actress is not showing any interest in doing glam roles in Tamil.  In Vettaikaran and Singam, Anushka did not wear any revealing clothes compared to her Telugu films. Remember she sizzled doing Nayanthara's role in Billa Telugu.

Meanwhile Anushka who plays a lawyer in Vijay directed Deivamagan, does not romance Vikram nor does she have a song in it.  Anyway let us hope Anushka signs up Billa-2, a film that is sure to take her to new heights.
