Ajith's gym workout creates a frenzy

Fans always crazy about social networking sites to share about their star's especially for Ajith its even bigger..
Ajith's workout stills in the gym have created a major frenzy in the social media space since the morning.
Even celebs have been re-tweeting these snaps to their followers. Director Vishnuvardhan had clicked these snaps in Mumbai while Ajith was pumping some iron in the gym.
After posting these pictures, Vishnu signed off by saying that he will post the next set of workout pictures after 30 days.

Is it going to be another 6 pack treat for the fans? Looks very likely at the moment seeing Ajith's beefed-up avatar.

A.R Rahman in the way of Yuvan

Will AR Rahman take the Yuvan way?

Their is always a war between the fans who is the best music composer in tamil which take over by the young music director yuvan..
Malayalam director Shajoon Kariyal is all set to begin his next venture.
The film is about five friends and a two-hour incident they come across.
Biju Menon, Lal, Suresh Krishna, P Sukumar and Sunil Babu play the five friends and Biju, who is also the co-producer of the film plays a percussionist from AR Rahman’s band.
So, the makers are planning to bring AR Rahman on board, not to compose music, but to do a cameo in the film.
They are also hoping the ace composer would give his nod for this.
Yuvan Shankar Raja recently did a cameo in the Ajith starrer Billa 2. Will Rahman take the same route?
Rahman has his own style to accomodate hope we have new type of music..

My fans' appreciation is enough for me ... says Ajith

Billa 2 had a huge opening at the box-office but since it was replete with just action, a section of the audience didn't take well to the film.
Ajith Kumar was quizzed about the performance of the film in a recent media interaction.

He revealed that he had delivered his best and that his fans have appreciated his sincerity and hard work.
He also added that beyond a point he doesn't worry about feedback on his film.

The actor presently has Vishnuvardhan’s untitled project in hand.
He has also done a cameo in Sridevi’s English Vinglish.

Billa 2 betters Nanban

Billa 2 has wowed Malaysian audiences and has collected the highest amount for a Tamil film released in 2012 so far.
It has bettered other big films like Nanban and 3. According to an authentic box-office portal, till date,
Billa 2's collections stand at a very healthy $906,298 which is more than 5 crores in Indian rupees. Nanban collected around 4.86 crores in Malaysia.
