Ajith's next Vedalam. Here's a look at some of his memorable movies
The audience is waiting eagerly for the release of Ajith's next Vedalam.
Here's a look at some of his memorable movies in the past:
Directed by SJ Suryaah, this move
really showed off Ajith's acting abilities. He played two roles in the movie
romancing both Simran and Jyothika. The actor took home the Filmfare Award for
Best Actor (South) for this film. It was actor Sudeep who played the role of Ajith in the Kannada version of this film.
This movie was also helmed by ace
director KS Ravikumar and Ajith played three roles in this movie. Unlike
the other films where he played twin brothers, here he played father and twin
brothers. Asin was one of the main leads in this movie which had music by AR
Rahman.
Actress Sridevi made a comeback to Tamil films after more than 20 years with thePuli,
but is now caught
in a tangle over her salary for the film. Sridevi had filed a
complaint at the Mumbai producers' council
stating that she was yet to be paid Rs 50 lakhs for the film.
However, the
producers of 'Puli' are reportedly extremely upset over this claim. They issued
a statement to the press on Monday in which they clearly specified the
remuneration paid to her. Producers Shibu Thameens and PT Selvakumar have
stated that the income tax raids and the losses incurred in the film have left
them strapped for cash. They now want an amicable solution to the issue. The
producers state that they had agreed to paySridevi Rs 3 crore as salary (Rs 2.7 crore + Rs 30 lakhs service
tax). However, Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor had demanded several
crores as remuneration for the Telugu and Hindi releases as well. They say
they explained to him that the dubbing rights belonged to the production house,
but agreed to pay Rs 15 lakhs for the Telugu dubbing rights and gave him 20% of
the Hindi satellite rights
The Puli producers further allege that
Boney Kapoor was also paid Rs 55 lakhs from the Hindu distributor of the
film. Thus, they state that Rs 20 lakhs of the money that had to be given
to the producers' was in fact given to Sridevi. In effect, they are stating that
they have paid Sridevi over and above the agreed compensation.
The letter released to the press also states that the
director Chimbudevan agreed to complete the film in 100 days, but
completed it in 150 days. This means they exceeded the budget on the film as
well. Since the movie got delayed, they say they incurred further losses. Puli was also not granted a tax
exemption, as a result of which they had to pay Rs 4.5 crore.
Actors Vijay, Shruti Haasan and Sudeep had small payments
pending from the producers, but they are said to have understood the situation
and waived off the payment. Sources say that the producers were grateful to the
three stars for this gesture. Sources add that the producers had explained
the situation on the phone to Boney Kapoor earlier and that he
had reportedly said that things were ok. So they were really surprised when
they received the complaint. The producers' are allegedly upset and since
Sridevi decided to file a formal complaint, they felt they had to issue a press
release to explain the situation and the reality, say sources.
