Ekta Kapoor’s next production, tentatively titled ‘Shaadi Of The Dead’ was much talked one for being India’s first zombie comedy film which stars Abhay Deol and Genelia D’Souza in lead. Latest we hear that the project has finalised its title as ‘Rock The Shaadi’.
Sources revealed that in fact the producer was not satisfied about ‘Shaadi Of The Dead’ and she was keen to have a better title before the movie’s shooting starts. So for this, Ekta threw open the challenge to the entire team asking if anyone could come up with a new title. Finally it was Abhay who came out with apt suggestion, since he is deeply involved with the movie and its concept.
‘Rock The Shaadi’ will be helmed by ‘Manorama Six Feet Under’ famed director Navdeep Singh.
Aascar films’ Velayudham with Vijay is heading for a big Diwali release where it will take on Suriya’s 7 Aum Arivu and Dhanush’s Mayakkam Enna. The makers are planning to promote the film in a big way and the publicity campaign will get underway from the first week of October.
A song video will be released as well as a slick new trailer. The audio launch for Velayudham was held recently and the tracks are a smash hit and there has been record sales
Genelia’s upcoming film with director M Raja is in top gear and nearing completion. Sources close to the film’s team have revealed that the team, all inclusive of its lead stars along with their captain, have left for Kashmir where a song will be shot in the picturesque landscape of the Dal Lake, Srinagar. This is the only song that needs to be completed, and once it is done, the entire film’s shooting will be wrapped up.
The song will be filmed with the lead ladies in the film Genelia and Hansika vying with each other trying to flirt with their sweetheart, in this case Vijay, according to reports. This film which sees Vijay as a superhero has created a lot of flutter amidst his fans, who have never seen their icon in such an avatar, who are eagerly waiting for the film to release.
Sources also indicate that the shooting of this song, which was originally planned to be shot overseas, will be wrapped up in a couple of days after which the director will give all his attention to completing the post-production work and readying the film for a Diwali release!
Vijay-starrer Velayutham’s budget has crossed beyond the producer’s expectations. With another song yet to be shot, the budget is expected to go further up. Due to the high costs involved, it is hard for producer Aascar Ravichandran to find distributors and therefore he has decided to take up the responsibility of distributing the film himself.
Aascar has done that before and it is not new for him. So, Velyutham will not leave Aascar’s hands, sources report.

It is said that Asin and Ajay share the same endorsement company which helped the actress to bag this film. However, some sources share that that’s not the case and Asin is just impressed with the script while she is yet to give her nod for the project. On the other hand, the production team believe that Abhishek along with Genelia seems to be quite fresh pair.
Alleged to be inspired from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s popular 1979 film, ‘Bol Bachchan’ expected to starts its shooting from August 20 at the Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad.
