Deva Tamil Movie News

Leading Tamil actor Dhanush's Raayan is set to come out this year and the wait is now on for the film's release date to be announced. The upcoming film has a multi-star cast featuring SJ Suryah, Sundeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram, Selvaraghavan, Prakash Raj, Dushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Saravanan in pivotal roles, while the songs and the background are being composed by Academy Award-winning music director A. R. Rahman. Raayan, which is currently one of the biggest and most promising Tamil films of 2024, almost featured 'Thenisai Thendral' Deva as the villain, with the iconic composer on Sunday, April 14, revealing the reason for declining the role. 

Addressing media persons on the festive occasion of Tamil New Year, Deva opened up on the reason for not acting as the antagonist in Dhanush's Raayan. He said, "I called and asked Dhanush why he wanted me to cast me as the villain. He said, 'There won't be anyone like you in Chennai who can speak Madras Bashai. You speak the local dialect so beautifully.' The character's roots are from the Kasimedu area in Chennai and is the reason why he wanted me as the villain in the film." He added, "I'll say one thing - one who lets go a job he knows will suffer and one who takes up a job he doesn't know will also endure hardships." Raayan will see Dhanush, Sundeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram, and Dushara Vijayan as siblings, with reports stating that SJ Suryah  is playing the villain. 

With filming on Raayan wrapped up already and post-production works currently underway, all sights are now set on the film's first single, which has been announced to release soon and there is considerable excitement for what A. R. Rahman has in store for fans this time. The film is incidentally the fifth collaboration for the duo after Raanjhanaa (2013), Maryan (2013), and Atrangi Re (2021), while their next big Bollywood project Tere Ishk Mein under Aanand L. Rai's direction is also currently in development. Raayan is billed to be a gangster action drama set amidst the North Madras backdrop and Dhanush's second directorial after Pa Paandi (2017), and there are huge expectations for the two-time National Award-winning actor to come out firing on all cylinders.

The announcement of Petta Rap has created excitement as actor Prabhu Deva is collaborating with a Malayalam Film director for the Tamil film. The upcoming release of the actor Prabhu Deva is titled Flashback the trailer of the film was released in March and it also has Regina Cassandra, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Vijay Vishwa, Ilavarau and others in important roles, The film is directed by Don Sandy.

Prabhu Deva's long-awaited Bagheera directed by Trisha Illana Nayanthara fame Adhik Ravichandran is all set for its grand release on March 3. With promotions already underway, Prabhu Deva explained the process he had to undergo for his various looks in the film, while also talking about how Adhik convinced him for the lady getup. He explained, "When I first heard about it, it felt easy. But, when I had to transform into that character, there lied the challenge. You can put up several getups, but it all ultimately comes down to how you justify that. It was both challenging and interesting to me. All of this felt new. I thought about how that character, if ever real, would portray all these roles differently, and did the same." 

Upon being asked how he convinced Prabhu Deva that his name in the Bagheera trailer would appear as Prabhu Devi, director Adhik Ravichandran said, "In the beginning, when I told master (Prabhu Deva) that he would have to shave his head completely, he said makeup is enough. I figured out that it'll be difficult to ask him to do that and didn't pursue in the first and second schedules. After that, master said he'll shave his head completely because it was a torture to put on the makeup since it would take 3-4 hours and it would end up looking patchy and itch a lot. The big highlight for us was that master had never shaved his beard before. But, we made him shave his hair and beard completely. For the lady character, one night, I got an idea and went to his place to ask him and requested him to do it. He eventually agreed and we designed his look and gave him clothes for his character. Up until that day, everyone would be outside the set, but when they came to know that master was coming in a lady getup, everyone assembled inside the set."
