Simbu angered by pro-Nayan remarks


Simbu and Nayan may have parted their ways and may have turned to greener pastures in their respective careers. But media does not want to let go off this steamy couple and their off-screen statements concerning their affairs. Recently a press reporter from a daily had written an article in support of Nayantara, the estranged lover of Simbu.







This article is said to have triggered Simbu’s temper to an astronomical level. He had reportedly dialed the concerned reporter and showered him with verbal profanities. He was even said to have threatened the reporter.



When this was brought to the notice of the management of the daily, they have decided to deal this issue in a very ‘gentlemanly’ and decent manner. When Sarathkumar who is the President of Nadigar Sangam was informed about the same, he was reported to have been taken aback by such a behavior from Simbu and has promised necessary action.

 

Tamil movies with 200 crores budget


In an attempt to boost up the production of Tamil movies, producer turned actor Pyramid Natarajan, under the banner of his Sai Meera Theatres has decided to produce 25 movies with a budget of 200 crores. Natarajan in a press meet stated that these movies would commence in a ceremony chaired by the Chief Minister Karunanidhi.







Natarajan stated that Sai Meera theatres is a join venture of a total of 230 theatres in India. This is an initiative with an aim to produce more Tamil movies. In good old days Kodambakkam witnessed about 150 movies per year, which gradually dwindled to 80. We hope to recreate the old scenario and make sure that 150 movies are released per year, Natarajan assured.



Sai Meera theatres has plans to expand their business in Malaysia as well. The company has recently entered into an agreement with the Malaysia based Centurion company and will open 150 theatres in the country. Besides, the company has already entered into agreements with the Mumbai based Infinity Film Completion Services, which they hope will bring in enough funds for the production ventures.
