Super star Rajinikanth and Ulaga Nayagan Kamal are set to create a frenzy of excitement even if they share the screen space even for a single shot. There were already rumors like wild fire that Rajini and Kamal will act in a movie together, but that never materialized.

Now the buzz is that director P.Vasu is trying to rope in Kamal Hassan to do a guest role for a scene in the movie Kuselan. It’s a known fact that Rajinikanth acts as a superstar in the movie and on the producers demand, there is going to be a scene where Superstar Rajinikanth will receive an award.

Dissappointment of South Indian Heroines

It has been a dissappointing phase for all the top Tamil heroines. First it was Shankar and Rajinikanth who signed Bollywood actress Aishwarya for Robot then now Raju Sundaram and Ajith have signed Katrina Kaif for their upcomming movie. There are also talks now that Tabu will be roped in to pair opposite Pasupathi in Rajini’s Kuselan.

Initially Shirya was the one who was going to act opposite Ajith in Raju Sundaram’s next, but then differences araised due to date problems and her controversial dance with Vadivelu in Indiralogathil Na Azhagappan. Finally Ajith had to put his feet down and ask Raju to sign a different heroine. Shirya did try to patchup but Raju still went ahead and singed Katrina.

Same is the case for Robot. Lots of heroine names were suggested for the lead actress role in Robot. Deepika Padukone, Nayantara were initially said to be the heroines in Robot. Then Shriya appeared in Shivaji silver jubilee function in a skimpy dress apprently to impress Shankar to consider her for Robot. Finally Shankar went ahead and signed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Looks like its time Kollywood heroines watchout….and stick to commitments with the other Tamil actors.

Trisha was heard saying in a recent interview that she would like to do a glamour role in Tamil as the one that Nayantara did in Billa. With her being signed for Sarvam, looks like her wish is going to be fulfilled soon.
