Yet another grandson of Sivaji enters - Dhruv Vikram next - Why Rashmika out of Suriya film ? Keerthy Suresh on papa's film

 

Jan 29, 2021 : Chiyaan Vikram’s son Dhruv has finally decided to tie-up with director Maari Selvaraj for his next to be produced by iconic director Pa Ranjith. After Vikram Prabhu , it is Darshan from the Sivaji clan that will don the greasepaint. He has zeroed in on director Seenu Ramasamy for his next. Keerthy Suresh’s father, a veteran producer, comes back after 2017 to make a film with his daughter and Tovino Thomas as hero. Rashmika Mandanna who was tipped to be heroine of Suriya has been dropped for  Priyanka Arul Mohan as the former  was demanding a fee that is equal to Lady Superstar .

After Arjun Reddy remake and that too with two versions , both flops, Dhruv Vikram was said to be hearing out stories that suited him. His next has to be right on the mark and this time the producer and director needed to be on the same page. Finally director Maari Selvaraj who finished his film Karnan with Dhanush ( An April mid release) and Dhruv have locked a script. The producer is none other director Paa Ranjith whose Neelam Productions produced Pariyerum Perumal with Selvaraj. The film was critically acclaimed and a box office hit.

After Prabhu, many actors from Sivaji clan have taken a shot at acting. Vikram Prabhu has managed to hold on despite many flops .. Ramkumar’s ( Sivaji’s eldest son) son Dushyanth took a shot at acting but backed off. Then Shivaji Dev, yet another son of Ramkumar entered filmdom. He has acted in three films and is still in the running. Ramkumar has two other sons who are twins- Darshan and Rishyan. Now Darshan has accepted to do a film with director Seenu  Ramasamy. Seenu who introduced Vijay Sethupathi, after Dharma Durai did Kanne kalaimaane with Udhaynidhi Stalin  (also producer). It bombed. Sethupathi  and Seenu together have two films awaiting release. Both bogged in production issues. Hope Sennu magic rubs on Darshan.

Keerthy Suresh’s father Suresh Kumar is a veteran Malayalam film producer who has produced blockbusters ( Aaram Thampuran) and is a prominent person involved in Kerala film trade issues. After 2017 production  Matchbox with Roshan Mathew as lead, Suresh now comes back with ` Vaashi’. Keerthy  says about the film – “ Though it may sound easy that I am acting in a film produced by my father, it is not so. The film is directed by my childhood friend Vishnu G Ragav and hero ( Tovino), I like.”. Title was launched by Mohan Lal. Last seen in Miss India, Keerthy has begun shooting for her upcoming Telugu project, Sarkaru Vaari Paata opposite Mahesh Babu.  Her upcoming releases include Good Luck Sakhi and Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe. In Tamil, it was recently announced that Keerthy has signed a project titled Saani Kaayidham, which also stars filmmaker Selvaraghavan in a crucial role.

Suriya –Pandiraj in their next had planned to cast Rashmika Mandanna as heroine. Rashmika is making her debut in Sultan directed by Kakiyaraj with Karti as hero. As she plays a village girl in Sultan, Pandiraj had Rashmika in mind. The price that she quoted was mind boggling and was little less than Nayanthara, said a source close to production house, Sun Pictures. Reason was that `Pushpa’ with Allu Arjun was releasing in August and it was sure hit and that too a pan South hit. So the amount she asks is justifiable was her reason. Pandiraj felt that Suriya does not need the support of a pan South actress and cast Priyanka Mohan instead. Priyanka  makes  her Tamil debut in upcoming Sivakarthikeyan’s film Doctor with director Nelson. . Priyanka speaks fluent Tamil and this impressed Pandiraj and Suriya. Priyanka has done a Telugu film Gang Leader with Nani and has upcoming film with Sharwanand.
