Vijay after Kuruvi wants to become Singam (Arimaa). The announcement for the same came out few days before. The movie is directed by Prabhu Deva.
Already a movie titled Singam, having Surya in the lead role is under production and being directed by Hari.

Sameera on Surya
Vaaranam Aayiram directed by Gautham Menon is nearing completion and the film has Simran, Sameera Reddy and Divya in the lead roles. While talking about her co-star Surya, Sameera Reddy states that it is very difficult to perform well especially in the presence of a talented actor like Surya.
She further says, "I have done films in Telugu and Hindi but the role in Vaaranam Aayiram was very challenging and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it." To a further query on her character in the film, the lady preferred to be tight lipped. She is also amazed at the way Surya kept losing and gaining weight for the film and found it difficult to counter him in many scenes which resulted in many retakes from her side. On her next project in Tamil, Sameera said that she has been lassoed on to Gautham Menon's next project with Ajith.

While Ajith goes on doing three to four movies a year, Vijay does just two while Surya restricts to one movie a year.
We were wondering why Surya is just doing one movie a year, is this because he gets very few chances to act?

‘Varanam Aayiram’: Trouble of the Budget
Varanam Aayiram', Surya, Sameera Reddy and Divya starrer, faces an unpredicted trouble even as 80 per cent of the shooting is said to be completed. Producer Oscar Ravichandiran has filled a complaint against director Gautham Menon for exceeding the budget.
According to the producer, the initial budget was fixed as Rs. 10.5 crores on first copy basis. Later, the producer claims, Gautham demanded an additional 3.5 crores to complete the movie.
Annoyed by the increased budget, the producer has lodged a complaint in Producers' Council against the director. He has said that the increase is unbearable.
However, the sources close to the unit say that the problem would be amicably sorted out soon and the shooting would resume without much delay. The problem in obtaining shooting permission in various places led to the increase in the cost, inform the sources.

Surya Varanam Aayiram Casting
After the cancellation of Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam, originally starring Surya Sivakumar, Asin Thottumkal and Daniel Balaji, Gautham Menon, keeping the male leads the same, wanted to opt for a new heroine to begin Vaaranam Aayiram. Initially, Deepika Padukone was signed up and set to make her debut in Tamil films, however she backed out due to the inactiveness of the film and signed the Bollywood film, Om Shanti Om instead. Soon after another confirmed heroine, Andrea Jeremiah was dropped from the film for unknown reasons. Asin expressed her desired to be a part of the project, however the male lead, Surya, rebut her offer citing that she had walked out of his previous film, Sillunu Oru Kadhal and refused to act opposite her.

The twist in Vaaranam Aayiram
If one had a close look at two of the biggest hits of Gautham Menon – Kaaka Kaaka and Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, apart from both being cop stories and backed by power performance of the cast, there was another line of similarity - show the way ladies of both the movies, be it Jyothika of Kaaka Kaaka or Kamlini Mukherjee of Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, get killed. Even Jyothika in Vettaiyadu Vilayadu was shown to be killed in the initial days of release of the movie only to be changed later and in DVD version.
If a birdie from Kollywood is to be believed, even in the director's upcoming Vaaranam Aayiram, the heroine (Sameera Reddy) is killed due to unfortunate circumstances of events. This is when the twist in the story creeps up with the arrival of Ramya into the scene. Seems like the director believes that the death of his heroines could bring his movies some luck as well as a huge empathetic fan-following for the Hero as well.
A story about a go-getter and the impact of these two heroines on his life, the same birdie also lets us know that Vaaranam Aayiram has the potential to be the best of Gautham with some great music by Harris Jeyaraj and breath taking camera by Ratnavelu.
With big time expectations cropping up on this Surya-Gautham combination after Kaaka Kaaka, we hope the same magic is weaved by Gautham and his excellent team of cast and crew. So until then let's keep our fingers crossed and see if this proves to be yet another feather in Gautham's cap.

Surya - The Next Superstar
It is very clear - Surya currently leads the race to become the next superstar of Tamil cinema. One can arrive at no other conclusion after watching Vel.
Surya's introduction scene in the movie is cliched - and he uses even more cliches when he talks about how to hold the aruvaal. But once the dust settles, his acting talent reveals itself, and so is his ability to win over every section of the audience.
That is not to say that Surya can be all-conquering. He is yet to prove himself in a full-length comedy (Mayavi was a decent attempt; Mounam Pesiyadhae was good, but it came before Surya was a star). And he has to find a way to weave in some humour into his roles, which are all pretty serious. And evolve as a mass hero, without compromising on his strong points.
Tough ask, but Surya combines an excellent physique, good looks and far better histrionics than his rivals. Which makes him a deserving candidate to be the next SUPERSTAR!
