Now, as the movie is getting ready for its release, they have released her pictures of the forthcoming flick.

The actress looks beautiful in the stills. In the last three movies of Ajith Kumar, the actor did not romance with the heroines of the movies. But in Veeram, Ajith has danced a folk as well as a romantic number with co-star Tamanna Bhatia.

The film’s director Siva said Ajith will be seen in a mass-appealing avatar in Veeram. Ajith’s last three releases were action flicks – Mankatha, Billa 2 and Arrambam. He played a suave urban character in all these films. Unlike the other films, Ajith will be completely seen as a dhoti-clad character and claim a rural look throughout the film.He further said Ajith will dance to romantic numbers with Tamannaah, romance her on screen and also match steps to a fast-paced folk number.

Venkat Prabhu Planning For Mankatha 2?

Is Venkat Prabhu planning a sequel to blockbuster Mankatha? This is the one question discussed by the director's followers and Ajith Kumar's fans over the weekend. The rumours grew stronger after the release of Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham in which the filmmaker has played a guest role.

In Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham, Venkat Prabhu has given a hint about Mankatha 2 plans. The audience, who have seen the Tamil flick, have started raising debate over the flick. Nonetheless, the director has not spilled beans on the same and has said that his present concern is Biriyani starring Karthi.

According to Venkat Prabhu, he has not given a thought about it and he could only think about his next movie once his Biriyani hits the screens. Presently, he is concentrating on Karthi's movie. However, the director likes to work with Ajith Kumar again.

Theatre Owners Prefer Veeram-Jilla

The powerful theatre owners in Tamil Nadu have once again displayed their strength by forcing the movie bosses of Kochadaiiyaan to postpone its release to accommodate trouble-free releases of Ajith Kumar's Veeram and Vijay's Jilla. Without any options, the makers of Rajinikanth's flick had to push the release, which was supposed to release for Pongal.

This development has paved way for mother of all battles, as Ajith Kumar and Vijay’s movies will clash at the Box Office. Veeram and Jilla will now hit the screens for Pongal and these films will equally share the cine screens in the state. This has come as a big relief for the both the films because the Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan would have played a spoilsport.

This made theatre owners to take a call on the issue and come to a conclusion that they support Veeram and Jilla.
