He worked as the poster designer for three Rajinikanth movies including Kabali, Kaala and Darbar. Vinci’s other notable works include Indru Netru Naalai, Soodhu Kavvum, Mundasupatti, Maragadha Naanayam, Kanaa, and more. The latest exciting news is that Vinci is all set to make his mark as a director. Yes! Vinci Raj is looking forward to making his debut directorial film and the preparatory works have already started.

Talking to Galatta Media, in an exclusive chat, Vinci said, “I have finished the script works already and I’m currently talking with a few investors to associate with the project. Once everything gets firm, we will begin the project. This film is like a campaign and it is going to involve a lot of people. I have always had the passion to direct movies and I’m glad that I am taking steps towards it. The film will be a simple yet neat feel-good entertainer and I believe in my script. I am currently finalizing the technicians as per the budget of the film and once I am done with this, I will decide on the actors. As of now, the cast has not yet been finalized.”

Vinci also revealed that the estimated budget of this film is 3.8 crores. It can even turn out to be a crowd-funded film if more people come forward to fund the project.

Thalapathy Vijay's Sarkar is heading on to become a major hit this year as the movie is having a spectacular opening all around the world. Sarkar marks the third outing for the combo of AR Murugadoss and Vijay which hyped up the expectation.

The latest big news we hear is that Vijay's Sarkar has gone past Superstar Rajinikanth's biggie Kabali in France and Australia to register the biggest opening for a Tamil movie in the country. Rajinikanth's Kabali has been at the top of the table since 2016 and now Thalapathy Vijay's Sarkar has dethroned Kabali.

Vijay's political drama Sarkar has Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Yogi Babu, Radha Ravi in important roles and has music by AR Rahman.

Preparation is in full swing for Kaala, which we know is all set for a massive release in Tamil Nadu and across the nation starting June 7.

Starring 'Superstar' Rajinikanth once again under Pa. Ranjith’s direction after their Kabali and produced this time by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films with music by Santhosh Narayanan, Kaala has now passed the censor board with a 'U/A' certificate.

Furthermore, latest reports now state Kaala’s runtime will be approximately around 164 minutes coming close to 2 hours and 44 minutes.

It must be noted Kaala’s runtime will be 12 minutes more than Kabali, which stood at 152 minutes clocking in at 2 hours and 32 minutes.

The more Rajinikanth fans get to see their idol, the happier they will be.

Prior to the release of Kabali in 2016, producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu left no stone unturned to make the film the most lucrative venture in Indian cinema history by tying up with several reputed brands.

Fast forward tp 2018, 'Superstar' Rajinikanth’s Kaala directed by Pa. Ranjith and jointly produced by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films and Lyca productions banners is also adopting the same strategy as Kabali.

The makers of Kaala have announced the film has now partnered with notable brand names starting with Cadbury Five Star as their Official Brand Partner.

We are glad to announce that "@Cadbury5Star" is one of our Official Brand Partner for #Kaala. @rajinikanth @beemji @dhanushkraja @Music_Santhosh @vinod_offl @humasqureshi @thondankani @LycaProductions @divomovies

Arunraja Kamaraj has proven his mettle as a lyricist and singer along with showcasing his versatility by trying a hand in acting too in several films. Now, he’s taken one step forward by beginning work on his directorial debut, which will reportedly revolve around women’s cricket.

Arunraja Kamaraj, as known to all by now, is the man behind such popular mass hits as "Neruppu Da" from 'Superstar' Rajinikanth’s Kabali and "Varlaam Varlaam Vaa" in 'Thalapathy' Vijay’s Bairavaa.

The untitled film has begun production with insights from Devika Palshikar, who has previously served as an assistant coach in the Indian Women’s Cricket Team. Snehal Pradhan, who has played five ODI’s had also come aboard to offer her insights once she came to know a film on women’s cricket was being planned.

As for the cast and crew of the film, not much is known at this point and details are expected to come out in the coming days. Team Galatta wishes Arunraja Kamaraj and the entire team of this highly ambitious film for a successful outing.

It has been a gruelling time for everyone involved with the Bollywood film, Padmaavat.

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and jointly produced under the Viacom 18 Motions Pictures and Bhansali Productions banner, Padmaavat formerly titled Padmavati was cleared for its January 25 all-India release by the Supreme Court yesterday after the states of Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan banned the film over protests by Rajput fringe groups.

Now, this Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Aditi Rao Hydari starrer has lapped up a big distinction ahead of its release next week.

It has now been confirmed that Padmaavat will be screened at largest cinema theatre in Europe, the reputed Le Grand Rex theatre in Paris, France, which has a 2800 seating capacity.

Expectations for Padmaavat are quite high considering the content and the controversy surrounding the film.

Vishwanth of Kabali fame is now busy in Vikram's Sketch and Lingusamy's Sandakozhi2. In Sketch, he is playing Vikram's friend and this will be similar to Kalaiyarasan's role in Madras.

In Sandakozhi2 with Lingusamy, he is playing Varalakshmi Sarathkumar's husband and this is a bold character who will get into fights to save his family. Looks like he is playing a rustic role and he is in awe of the set which is erected for the film.

Director Ranjith’s approach to the script in Kabali made some annoyed while most loved the way he handled superstar in the movie.

Giving him such an underplayed character similar to the newly released Logan in Hollywood was what made Kabali so famous. But, he’s not going to repeat the same again, said director Ranjith in an interview today.

“While Kaala is going to be a Rajinikanth movie, it won’t be Kabali 2,” he clarified. Kaala is the name of the film produced by Dhanush and is yet another gangster flick.

“I won’t use any of the actors from Kabali to give Kaala a fresh look and something unique to the script,” he added. Let’s hope he’s got another Billa, Baasha in the making for superstar.
