Aegan goes to Yercaud!
Ajit is planning to drive down to Yercaud for the shoot with his family. Shalini and Anushka too can get away from the burning 'Kathiri' heat of Chennai and chill out in the cool surroundings of the hill station.
The Aegan unit will be shooting in Yercaud, for the next three weeks. After this schedule nearly 90 percent of the film will be over. Two more songs will be shot most likely in England and Spain and with that the film will be ready for an August 15 release.
'Aegan' gets the service of Prabhudeva
The dance moves led by Hrithik Roshan and his group of dancers in a song in the Bollywood film 'Lakshya' which fetched Prabhudeva the national award for the best choreographer is enough to speak of the capacity of the so called boneless wonder.
He makes sure that he leaves a stamp of unmatched perfection and grace in each of the songs for which he does the duty of the dance master.
It will not be an exaggeration if said that people watch the songs not only to see the hero and heroines but also to see the beautiful movements of bodies moving in unison envisaged by this talented guy.
Film makers who want the dancing wizard's service for their films are not always lucky given that the person in news has got very busy these days with a super hit film 'Pokkiri' under his belt as a director and its soon to be released Hindi remake.
Prabhudeva’s untitled future project with Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay and Nayantara will have Ravi Varman, the acclaimed cinematographer of films like 'Anniyan', 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu' and the magnum opus 'Dasavatharam' who is now wrapping up his first directorial venture 'Moscowin Kaveri' wielding the camera and Devi Sri Prasad composing the music.
So in such a busy time Raju Sundaram gets the golden goose to help him out in his high profile 'Aegan' starring the ultimate star Ajith after his block buster 'Billa'.
Raju Sundaram, brother of Prabhudeva who himself is a known choreographer cum actor doesn't want to leave any stones to be left out when his debut directorial venture is concerned.
So his call to his brother to choreograph a song in 'Aegan' which will be shot in Tekkady was heard by Prabhudeva in spite of being fully engaged.
Raju Sundaram must not have thought much about his brother's busy schedule as he knows that Prabhudeva does not need much time to come out with never before seen steps and great ideas to make a song perfect and spicy.
