Swathi to pair up with Vikram

Colours Swathy, who hit the limelight with her brilliant performance in 'Subrahmanyapuram', has bagged the biggest role in her career to date, says our source.

She will be playing the female lead opposite Chiyaan Vikram in the untitled film to be directed by Selvaraghavan. The film will be produced by Kanakaratna Ramesh.

Swathy entered showbiz through the Telugu TV programme, titled 'Colours'. It was Selvaraghavan who gave her first break in 'Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule', which was later remade into Tamil as 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini'.

Post 'Subrahmanyapuram', Swathy has been getting many offers in the lead, but the intelligent actress is being very choosy about them.

'Kandhasamy' release to be delayed

It is reported that the release of 'Kandhasamy' may be further delayed. The mega action film, starring Vikram and Shriya Saran in the lead, was supposed to be released in July next.

The Susi Ganesan film has Vikram playing a super hero and it requires a lot of computer graphics. Though it was believed that the studio work could be wrapped up in July, it would need a few more weeks, our sources in Kollywood say.

The audio of the film, launched last month, has become a big hit. It has four songs sung by Vikram. The music has been scored by Devi Sri Prasad.
