In film world Rajinikanth is known as someone who is very spiritual and religious. He makes it a point to visit holy places whenever time permits. Recently after the Sivaji function and the announcement of his films Kuselan and Robot, the actor had taken a brief break and was at the Himalayas to perform meditation and to visit the caves of his guru Babaji.
Now after his return, he was seen at Tirupathi along with his wife, two daughters, son-in-law Dhanush and his grand son Yathra. As expected there was some kind of excitement among the devotees which was put to rest soon and Rajini's family had a good darshan of Lord Balaji. It is reported that the Boss's family was at Tirupathi in connection with the tonsuring ceremony of his grandson Yathra. It is a known fact in this part of the country that the child's first hair cut would be at a temple and as it appears Super star's family is also following the same ritual

Prabhu on association with Ajith - Pudhiya paravai -sivaji ganesan role is Ajith and Prabhu as M.R. Radha
When speculations are rife about Ajith starring in the remake of the yesteryear thriller classic Pudhiya Paravai produced by Sivaji films, Prabhu opened up to our correspondent on all that and much more recently. “We have plans for the remake and to associate with Ajith, however, both will be different projects”, Prabhu was quick to clarify.
It is important to note that earlier, rumors suggested Prabhu will don the legendary M.R Radha’s role in the remake with Ajith playing Sivaji’s part.“We are holding talks with Ajith for a new venture and you can expect an official announcement in this regard soon”, Prabhu assures after clarifying that the remake of Pudhiya Paravai is also on the cards for Sivaji films. “We are still in the initial stages of the project and I’m playing the role immortalized by legend M.R. Radha,” Prabhu replies to a poser in this regard.
So there you have, straight from the horse’s mouth clearing air on the rumors. Now you know that Pudhiya Paravai is being remade and Ajith is in Sivaji production.

Indiralogathil Naa. Azhagappan - Vadivelu, Suja, Theetha, Rari, Nazar, Shriya Direction: Thambi RamiahMusic: Sabesh MuraliProduction:7th channel
Cast : Vadivelu, Suja, Theetha, Rari, Nazar, ShriyaDirection: Thambi RamiahMusic: Sabesh MuraliProduction: Manickam Narayanan
Very much on the same lines of Imsai Arasan, Vadivelu has belted out his second venture in the fantasy-comedy series. If Imsai Arasan worked, it was for its genuine, no-nonsense, spontaneous humor set in a unique milieu. Not to mention, the script was taut and extremely appealing. In the same breadth, Indiralogathil Na. Azhagappan has an engaging script, but what seems to be missing from this fantasy-comedy is the sparkling humor that made the earlier one click.
The movie would have worked but for the contrived and stale comic sequences that makes one wonder if, instead of coming up with a cohesive comic script, they just cobbled together an ensemble of comedy tracks.Vadivelu’s intro, with a song, is definitely on par with the biggies in the film industry, reiterating the golden rule of an opening song for the protagonist. Vadivelu’s fans will be delighted to see him don the lead role on-screen once again. The actor has done a commendable job in all the three roles, as Azhagappan, Indiran and Yamadharman. Of the three, the Indiran role seems to suit him best
The story is plain and simple. The three beauties of Indiralogam – Rambai, Oorvasi and Menaka – come down to earth on a visit. Enchanted by Vadivelu’s drama, Rambai is unable to return to her abode within the stipulated time. As a result, she is cursed and turned into a stone sculpture. Meanwhile, Vadivelu is advised by an astrologer to garland the sculpture. Promptly, he garlands her sculpture and Rambai returns to her original self. She also takes Azhagappan along with her to Indiralogam. His visit to Indiralogam empowers him to predict the past and future of the earthlings. Because of his newfound powers of prediction, the crime rate in the human world declines and there is little work to do in the Yamalogam. Confused, Yamadharman confers the responsibility of investigating this mysterious turn of events to Lord Naradar (enacted by Nasser), who reveals the true cause. Angered by this, Vadivelu is cursed and turns into a 90-year old man.
Given the fact that Vadivelu’s huge chunk of fan population comprises of kids, the director could have avoided the top angles that conveniently feast on the bevy of beauties that encircle Vadivelu. Though Shriya looks good in her small role, the idea of having her play the necromancer doesn’t quite create the desired impact. Vandanam Vanakkam song by Vadivelu and company is quite natural. Thotta Tharani has done an admirable job with the sets, especially the Yamalogam.J. N. Jawahar’s editing is adequate, while Sabesh-Murali’s music with its tinge of 23-aam Pulikesi, is very mediocre. Costumer R. Murugan deserves a special mention, but for Vadivelu’s 90-year old act that deserved a little more attention.Indiralogathil might appeal to those who swear more by Vadivelu’s slapstick antics than his verbal wisecracks. Because there are hardly any verbal fireworks, and those few that are there, are submerged in the extravagance.
Verdict: A riot sans laughter!
