Kuselan songs
In Kuselan, superstar Rajinikanth will feature in three of the five songs. He will be introduced in the film by the song, ‘Cinema…Cinema’. This song, featuring about 10 frontline actors of Kollywood, will laud the effort of each and every artist involved in filmmaking, right from lightboys to actors to directors to fans.
The filming was completed on June 26, 2008; this was the last song to be shot; it was shot with 400 real fans of Rajni (instead of junior artists) at Shanti theatre. The song also contains lines that talk about Rajinikanth: ‘Super star-i thiraiyil parthaal adhirumthaney, maalaigal ellam malai pola kuviyumthaney’. It means the appearance of Superstar (Rajinikanth) on screen will electrify the atmosphere.
If ‘Cinema…cinema’ is one highlight song, ‘Om Zaarare’ sung by Daler Mehendi is another. This song runs for 7 minutes and has been sung by Daler Mehendi, Chitra, and Sadhana Sargam. Pasupathy and Meena will be featured in the other two songs.

'Kuselan' - Return of the superstar
The expectations for Kamal Haasan's 'Dasavatharam' rose like a Tsunami and with its spectacular opening, the giant wave seems to be subsiding a bit. But then there is a hurricane named 'Kuselan' brewing in the horizon and is expected to cross the coast with tremendous intensity.
Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Kuselan' is expected to have a wonderful story and Vadivelu reportedly is at his rocking best.
'Kuselan stage show' to rock Chennai, Hyderabad
Kuselan - the name spells magic these days. The movie is gearing up for a spectacular opening and reports suggest that just about everyone who worked for the movie is happy with the outcome of all the songs composed by young G. V. Prakash.
The 'Kuselan' think-tank has planned an extravaganza for live music lovers in Chennai and Hyderabad. G. V. Prakash's team along with all the singers of the various songs will perform live on stage on the 19th of July in Chennai and on the 25th of July in Hyderabad. Initial reports suggest that all the actors who performed in 'Kuselan' would also be present. However, this is yet to be confirmed officially.
Many production houses have come out with novel ways of attracting the general public's attention to their movies. We recently witnessed Jackie Chan at the audio launch of 'Dasavatharam'.
The concept of a live show playing out the music of the film is indeed very attractive. However this has nothing to do with the audio launch. The audio launch for Kuselan would happen as planned on the 30th of June at Hotel Le Royal Meridian at 7 pm in Chennai. Attractive booklet style invitations have already been handed out to guests.

Rajnikanth's Kuselan sold!
The star power of Tamil superstar Rajnikanth is simply awesome. Whether he is the lead actor or guest appearance, any film of his becomes the hottest property in the entertainment market.
Just look at the way Kuselan, a quickie planned with Rajnikanth in a 'guest role', is grabbed by Pyramid Saimira Entertainment Limited, Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyramid Saimira Group.
The company has bagged the rights of worldwide release with 11 years Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of Kuselan, in both Tamil and Telugu. Though the company has not disclosed the amount, rumours have it that the film was bought for an estimated sum of Rs 60 crore!
The company plans a worldwide release the movie by the end of July 2008.
Kuselan is produced by Seven Arts Films from Kerala [Images] and Kavithalaya Group promoted by K Balachandar. In Telugu, it is co-produced by Vyjanthi Movies.
Pyramid Saimira had earlier distributed and exhibited Rajni's Sivaji in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Malaysia in 252 screens with 928 shows daily and 6.78 lakh seats.
Kuselan is the Tamil remake of Kadha Parayumbol, one of the most talked about and successful films made in Malayalam in recent times. The way Sreenivasan developed a simple tale of a friendship between a barber and a superstar, into a very appealing screenplay without slipping into melodrama was highly appreciated in Kerala. Rajni who saw the film got so emotional that he hugged Sreenivasan.
Sreenivasan played the barber and Mammootty the superstar. In Tamil, Pasupathy plays Sreenivasan's role and Rajni Mammootty's. Meena, who played Sreenivasan's wife in the original, has done the same role in Tamil too.
Mammootty appeared for just half an hour in the original. It is for sure that P Vasu who directs Kuselan will make the role longer for Rajni like he did in Chandramukhi (a remake of Manichitrathazhu.)
Priyadarshan is remaking the film in Hindi as Billoo Barber with Irrfan Khan playing the barber's role while Shah Rukh Khan as the superstar.
It is interesting to see so many versions of Kadha Parayumbol in 2008!

Super Star pairs with Nayantara and Tabu in Kuselan ?
Rajinikant’s film for his mentor K Balachander will have two heroines.
While Nayanatara is said to be playing one of the lead heroines, it is now been confirmed that Tabu will be playing the other heroine.
Though Rajinikant shares screen time with Jagapati Babu, who will have an equally important role in the film, he has agreed to do it for Balachander and because he liked the Malayalam original starring Mammotty.

G.V. Prakash for Kuselan?
It is almost certain that young music director G.V. Prakashkumar would do the music for superstar Rajinikanth’s next movie ‘Kuselan’ directed by P. Vasu.
The expectations are shooting up ever since the news on the project started leaking. K. Balachandar, along with the co-producers and the director P. Vasu gave a Pongal treat for the fans by making an official announcement on the movie on the auspicious Pongal day (January 15) at Taj Coramandel, in Chennai.
Rajini, who was eagerly awaited by the media persons, joined the event late in the evening. Pasupathy, who dons an important role, also attended the press meet.
The movie’s title is a fine and sensible selection. Kuselan, in Mahabharatha was a poor man and a dear friend of Krishna, the king. The epic talks at length about their deep friendship. Since the movie is about the friendship between a poor man and a celebrity, the title seems to be quite relevant.
The movie will be jointly produced by Seven Arts Vijayakumar, Kavithalaya K Balachander, Pushpa Kandasamy, and Vaijayanthi Movies Aswin Dutt (Telugu producer).
