Dhanush injured in Polladhavan movie shooting

In a freak accident involving Dhanush and Villain Daniel Balaji, Dhanush was injured in the sets of his upcoming venture Polladhavan. Dhanush’s Polladhavan, directed by Vetri Maran, is progressing in and around Chennai. When the incident occurred, shoots were being carried out in the sets erected to reflect a fish-processing unit in Gaiety theatre on the Annasalai.



























Dhanush’s stunt scenes with Daniel Balaji were shot. The sword that was used by Daniel for the stunt scenes slashed Dhanush’s forehead accidentally. Dhanush was immediately provided with first aid medical attention to prevent the blood loss. The actor was moved to a private hospital where he was scanned to identify the damage.

Later, doctors informed that the wound caused by the accident is minor. Dhanush is advised to rest following this. Shoots of Polladhavan will resume after Dhanush’s return.

Namitha, Mandira Bedi and Sherin compete for Simbu

Kettavan and Kaalai are the upcoming films of Simbu which are getting canned at a steady pace. In Kettavan, Simbu has taken charge of story, screenplay and dialogues besides acting and the film is being directed by Nandu and produced by Trichy Viswanathan. S S Music VJ Lekha Washington plays Simbu’s love interest in the film.

Namitha was touted to play the other heroine in Kettavan. However due to some unrealistic demands and high remuneration, Namitha is being dropped from the film.

Meanwhile, to play this role, there has been a stringent competition from two other ladies viz. Mandira Bedi and Sherin. Mandira Bedi has already featured with Simbu in Manmadan and when she was approached she was too willing to be cast along side Simbu. In the intervening time, having heard about this coveted position of Simbu’s heroine being vacant, Sherin has expressed her desire to fill up this spot. It has also been said that the lady is too keen on this role.

When this matter was broached with little super star, he says, “Namitha was the first one who was chosen for this role which will have two song sequences and five to six scenes. Namitha happens to be one of my good friends who also happen to be a good artist. But the demands laid by her manager had upset the producer who is seeking an alternate to her role and has met Mandira Bedi in this regard. However Sherin is also vying for this role and now I am totally baffled as to whom to cast in this role.” It sure is a tough call for Simbu when he has to choose between the beauties of the tinsel town.
