(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftamilbase.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F05%2Fanjan-suriya.jpg&hash=37e6b5a4042ea6ca24a5c3060217439127f4fb82)
Cast: Suriya, Samantha
Direction: N. Lingusamy
Production: N. Lingusamy
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
After delivering a super hit with his latest film ‘Singam II’ actor Suriya is back in action with ‘Anjaan’. For this film the versatile actor has joined hands with director Lingusamy who directed ‘Paiyya’ a blockbuster hit film that provided a strong hold for Suriya’s brother actor Karthi.
Director
Suriya and Lingusamy combination has created a lot of expectation. With Lingusamy himself saying that he is confident of striking gold with Suriya like his peer group filmmakers Hari and Gautham Menon the expectations have touched the sky. With ‘Anjaan’ touted as a action entertainer, we can be assured of Lingusamy’s words coming true if we have a look at the profile of the director which includes super hit action films like ‘Run’, ‘Paiya’ and ‘Vettai’. His out and out action flick ‘Bheema’ starring Vikram was also appreciated for his power packed content despite the film not doing wonders at the box office.
Star cast
Coming to the lead actor Suriya, we do not require words to establish his versatility as an actor. His list of films and their successes will do the talking. This time it will be double treat for Suriya’s fans since the actor plays dual roles after ‘Maatran’ that released in 2012. It is certain that the actor plays Mumbai underworld don ‘Raju Bhai’ while the makers have preferred to keep the other role as a secret.
Samantha the young and energetic actress has paired up with Suriya for the first time. Its every heroine’s dream to act with Suriya and Samantha has claimed that she is the actor’s fan right from ‘Kakha Kakha’ days. So it’s a case of a fan getting to act with her favourite star. Suriya has always shared a good chemistry with all of his heroines and the stills that have released so far prove that Samantha will be no exception to this rule. Given Lingusamy’s ability to include cute interludes of romance in action flicks, we can expect some breezy romance as a respite from action sequences.
Action films do not get fulfilled without antagonists. This film has a powerful actor Manoj Bajpai playing the lead villain role. There are many other Mumbai based actors including Dhilip Tahil playing negative roles in the film. Vidyut Jamwal who played the villain of Ajith in ‘Billa II’ and Vijay in ‘Thuppakki’ is acting with Suriya this time. However his role in ‘Anjaan’ is kept as a secret and we have to wait and watch to know whether he is the friend or foe of Suriyaa in the film.
Soori joins with Suriya for ths first time in this film. The actor’s inclusion assures that we can expect some comic treat also.
Technical Team
‘Sandakozhi’, ‘Paiyya’ and ‘Vettai’ all the albums that have come from Yuvan Shankar Raja for Lingusamy directed flicks have included a right mix of songs that cater to all kinds of audience. ‘Anjaan’ audio that will be available within a month is expected to follow the fashion.
Cinematographer Santhosh Sivan who has teamed up with the director for the first time will be adding the punch required for action entertainers and we just have to look at ‘Thuppakki’, the lensman’s latest outing in Tamil to know how significant will be his contribution for an action flick like ‘Anjaan’.
Production
The film is being produced by Lingusamy’s Thirrupathi Brothers, a banner that can be associated with some of the commercially successful as well as award winning films of the recent times. The project also has the financial backing of UTV Motion Pictures identified as experts in marketing a film mainly in social media to create the buzz among youngsters who are the target audience of any film.
Finally what you can expect?
A versatile actor, a filmmaker who has proved his expertise in action entertainers, good looking as well as performance oriented heroine, strong star cast, sound technical team and elite production values have joined together for ‘Anjaan’.
We just have to wait until the release of the film as an Independence day treat on August 5 to watch a film which promises to be one of the best action entertainers of all times.

Yuvan Shankar Raja helms the music reigns once more after his previous success with Lingusamy in movies like Sandakozhi,Paiyaa & Vettai. Let's see what the album has in stores for us:
Bang Bang
Singers: Ranjith
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
Already popular thanks to the teaser, Bang Bang sets the tone for the entire album with its power packed tune. This number which sounds like the hero introduction song is laced with lyrics depicting the characterization of Raju Bhai. There is heavy usage of electric guitar & synthesizers throughout the song and is sure to be youngster's favorite track of the album.
Oru Kan Jaadai
Singers: Benny Dayal, Shweta Pandit
Lyrics: Viveka
Oru Kan Jaadai is a romantic rock number with heavy percussion arrangements. The chord progressions and the minute scale shifts elevate the song to a different level. Benny Dayal totally dominates the rendition and the grandeur in the instrumentation is pretty visible. The song gets progressively better with every listen and is sure to set the playlists on fire.
Ek Do Theen
Singers: Suriya, Andrea Jeremiah
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
Ek Do Theen is the cynosure of the entire album as it marks the debut of Suriya as a singer who does a neat job behind the microphone. The song starts off with an Arabic touch only to be taken over by 'Dhol' beats synched to Suriya & Andrea's singing. This is a typical dance number catered to the masses and is sure to sizzle along with the visuals.
Kaadhal Aasai
Singers: Sooraj Santhosh, Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyrics: Kabilan
Kaadhal Aasai is a quintessential Yuvan Shankar Raja melody where the composer takes us on a ride back to his Pogadhe Pogadhe & Povodhe Prema days. The song has a strong Hindustani touch as well and it is indeed a pleasant number. The high pitched portions are sung incredibly well by Yuvan and dholak finds an interesting usage in this romantic, slow number. The Oor Kuzhandhai segment is the catchiest part of the whole song.
Sirippu En
Singers: M. M Manasi
Lyrics: Viveka
Sirippu En is the much talked about Chitrangada Singh's item number. This track will be effectively played multiple times in clubs and parties. Manasi does a terrific job with the humming in particular. The lyrics by Viveka are aimed at the masses and the prelude deserves special mention as it is mighty catchy. The charanam portions have a second layer of synthesizers accompanying them and the bagpipe section near the end is impressive too.
On the whole, Anjaan is a complete package catering to the fans of all genres consisting of a melody, rock, item number & a folkish number. Yuvan Shankar Raja makes sure he blends his experimentation along with the mass expectations. The 'Lingusamy-Yuvan Shankar Raja' track record is intact!
Picks of the album: Bang Bang, Oru Kan Jaadai, Ek Do Theen
Vidyut’s character in ‘Anjaan’
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftamilbase.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F05%2FVidyut.jpg&hash=434a6d0bd03d2ca101f17eb297f2e9a227e86585)
It seems for the first time Vidyut Jamwal the menacing villain of ‘Thuppakki’ and ‘Billa 2’ will be playing a positive role in ‘Anjaan’ which is gearing up for a grand release within a few weeks. Vidyut opened up about his character in the Suriya-Samantha starrer for the first time in a recent media interaction. He has said that he is not playing the villain role in the film and he will be a partner with Suriya in all his activities throughout the film. He also keeps the guessing games on a high by saying that the twist in the film revolves around his character.
Having acted in three Tamil films, Vidyut says he has picked up the language to the extent of mouthing his dialogues while shooting for the film. However when asked to speak something from his head he remembers only one dialogue “Ivan Budhisali illai” (he is not intelligent) which he speaks in one of his films.
‘Anjaan’ has been directed by N.Lingusamy as a stylish gangster flick. Music has been scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja whose songs for the film released recently and has started topping the charts.
'Anjaan' game launched in Chennai

Suriya's Anjaan has been in the news of late thanks to its Yuvan Shankar Raja chartbusters and a stylish trailer. In order to reach out to the youngsters as well, the makers recently launched a mobile game in association with Vroovy, a joint venture of Hungama and Gameshastra.
The mobile game titled 'Anjaan Race Wars' was launched in an event in the presence of Suriya, director Lingusamy, UTV South Head G Dhananjayan and writer Brinda Sarathy. The concept of this mobile game involves the caricatured character of Suriya chasing the baddies and goons in a car.
Speaking at the event, Hungama's Siddhartha Roy was confident of the game's success and explained about the game in detail. There was also a live demonstration of the game along with the storyboard. The game is said to be available in all Android & iOS platforms.
Director Lingusamy assured the fans that the movie will also be racy much like the game and informed that the movie is ready and will release on August 15th as announced before.
Suriya confessed he likes playing video games too and was invigorated over the new concept of developing a game based on the film’s theme which has taken the film’s expectation a notch higher.
Kollywood producers say "Chalo Mumbai"!

Suriya's eagerly awaited Lingusamy directed Anjaan is getting censored today (July 30) in Mumbai.
Why is a Tamil film getting censored in Mumbai? Well the 'queue' outside the regional Chennai office of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is too long.
The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) the apex body of film producers is peeved with the regional CBFC in Chennai. Tamil films are not getting censored as there is considerable slowdown in censoring of films due to lack of 'certifying members'. In the last one week only two films have been censored, and there is a long line of Tamil films which are waiting for censor certificate.
Once a Tamil film is censored depending on the certification they can approach state government for entertainment tax exemption and finalise their release date. Anjaan slated for release on August 15, has to wait in the queue if it has to censored in Chennai. So produce took CBFC offer to get it viewed and censored in Mumbai, which will enable them to stick to August 15 release.
Last week Vijay Antony's Salim got censored in Mumbai. Similarly those who are looking at an early release date, are now more or less reconciled to the idea of getting it censored in Mumbai.
Two weeks back TFPC, Hon Secretary T Siva had written a letter to Prakash Javadker the Union Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting, about the emergency situation prevailing regarding censoring of films. But he is yet to get a reply and the situation has worsened.
Anjaan censored, Clean U!

Suriya, Thirrupathy Brothers and UTV Motion Pictures are taking film promotions to a new height with their forthcoming Lingusamy directed Anjaan.
On Saturday (Aug 2), the team flew to Kochi from Chennai for promoting the film releasing on August 15.
Suriya and the team spent the entire day in Kochi amidst fans and the media. Suriya, Lingusamy and G.Dhananjayan of UTV Motion Pictures met the fans at the prestigious single screen Kavitha in Ernakulam . Thousands of fans of the actor from various parts of the state converged at Kavitha.
Suriya gave a 10 minute speech and the fans went crazy. Anjaan songs and teasers were screened for selected audiences. Later Suriya held a media meet at his hotel and went on to give 'exclusive' interviews to nearly 15 Malayalam channels, half a dozen FM stations, and internet and blog sites. 52 fan association secretaries took individual pics with the actor!
The distributors of Anjaan in Kerala were overjoyed as all this will go to hype the film to new levels and film will surely take an earth shaking opening in Kerala. The film is likely to release in 170 screens in Kerala, the highest for a Suriya film.
Dhananjayan who organised the entire promotions was beaming at the end of the day. "Suriya sir's charisma, star power and dedication made the Anjaan promotions in Kochi a huge success. Had a great visit and fans response in pouring rain was something that had to be seen. Memorable theatre visit, a good press meet and separate interviews to media. It went off very well."
After his whirlwind promotions in Kochi, Suriya almost missed his evening flight. In fact he just managed to get on the return flight!

Raju Bhai needed to look stylish: Lingusamy
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.sify.com%2Fcms%2Fimage%2Fnmxj9nebjbhsi_thumb.jpg&hash=8a4b722537c8354e82ea6ba01523864fb807e25b)
Director Lingusamy, known for his racy commercial movies like Sandakozhi, Run, Paiyaa & Vettai is geared up for his next release Anjaan. With sky-high expectations amongst fans, the movie is slated to release on 15th of August. We had a chance to interact with the man behind Anjaan himself. Here are the excerpts of the interview:
Your combination with Yuvan always seems to hit the bull’s eye. What’s the secret behind the success of this combination?
Our composing sessions will always be pretty relaxed. Myself, Yuvan Shankar Raja & the lyricists will be casually interacting among ourselves talking various other things. There won’t be a conscious strain to extract the tunes. It always happens naturally.
How did you finalize Suriya'’s look in the movie?
Raju Bhai needed to look stylish. In order to finalize the look for that character, we researched online. Suriya, on his part would come up with certain looks and give suggestions. For the two characters he plays in the movie, we finally zeroed-in on the perfect looks.
Tell us about Samantha's performance in the movie
Samantha is really sharp. She reads the dialogues thoroughly and keeps repeating them till she goes for the take. Her expressions and reactions are fantastic too. I changed the story thrice and every time I would tell her that she is still in the movie and only the story has changed. I am making my next movie from one of those stories which I narrated initially to Samantha. She is there in the movie and the male lead will be Karthi.
Any particular scene of Samantha's we need to watch out for?
There is a scene in a car where she has performed superbly. Also, there is a scene near the roadside where Surya, Samantha & Vidyut converse with each other. Watch out for her expressions in that scene.
How difficult it is to make movies having songs in its screenplay?
Balaji Sakthivel once told me that songs are the movie's re-recording at that point of screenplay. Unless the songs are placed aptly, it will detach the audience from the plot and Shankar sir is always one who knows where to perfectly place a song. In Anjaan, the songs are neatly packaged along with the screenplay.
Your production house seems to be churning out hits after hits. How do you balance both direction & production?
I like to watch all types of movies. That aspect helps me to produce movies that are different. Regarding the production department, I usually listen to the scripts before the project starts and once the movie gets over, I watch it and share my suggestions. The important part of production- the marketing, the promotions are all done by a dedicated team led by N. Subash Chandra Bose
Dialogues will be lapped up by Suriya fans: Brinda Sarathy
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.sify.com%2Fcms%2Fimage%2Foh4m0sagjbidf_small.jpg&hash=3af8def49ee54c658414ae16f333e067bfb3a36e)
The next big movie in K-Town Anjaan is slated to release on August 15th. We had a chance to interact with the writer of the movie Brinda Sarathy. Here are the excerpts of the interview:
What sorts of preparation were done for the dialogues considering the movie is set in Mumbai?
A month before the shoot commenced we travelled to Mumbai to observe the people and we have used the local dialect and the commonly used words in those areas along with our dialogues.
How have you tried to differentiate two roles of Surya through dialogues?
Yeah, we have definitely tried to differentiate the characterization of Surya using dialogues. Raju Bhai needed to be powerful. So, his dialogues would be sharp. On the other hand, Krishna is a software engineer who is silent by nature. His dialogues would be much composed and toned down.
Tell us about the dialogues for the romance portions
The dialogues for the romance portions have come out really well. The focus was on writing sweet dialogues because it is necessary to have light hearted romance portions in an action packed movie. I really liked Samantha's work in Ye Maya Chesave and she has got the expressions perfect in Anjaan too.
How do you manage to keep the dialogues in sync with the story without going over-the-top?
As long as dialogues are written keeping the story in mind, it doesn't go overboard. If dialogues are written for an actor's image, the actor's fans will relish it but the common audience won’t like it. So, keeping the story as a priority and writing dialogues is the way to go. In Anjaan, dialogues will be enjoyed by audience from all quarters.
Tell us about your comfort level with Lingusamy
We both go back a long way. We knew each other from our childhood days. We used to discuss about movies at that time itself and that’s how the friendship grew. He used to love movies like Muratu Kaalai & Pokiri Raja. I know his taste and that really helps while writing for his movies. Anjaan is our fourth film together after Aanandham, Paiyaa & Vettai.
It is important that I do mass entertainers: Samantha
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.sify.com%2Fcms%2Fimage%2Foink2Sfjhbiig.jpg&hash=c4dee27e39a651624fa88e38e266b9dd906c8468)
Samantha is almost a household name these days. With her popularity sky-rocketing, she is currently busy with films like Anjaan, Kaththi, Rabhasa, 10 Endradhukulla & many more.
We got a chance to interact with the leading lady of Anjaan who is eagerly waiting for the movie to release. Here are some of the excerpts of the conversation
After Naan Ee and Neethane En Ponvasantham, how different is Anjaan?
I have made a conscious decision to be part of Anjaan. Lingusamy sir's heroines are known to be sweet and they have an impact on the story at the same time. It is important that I do mass entertainers to get exposure into the Tamil market.
Tell us about your co-star in Anjaan, Suriya
Suriya has been amazing right from Day 1. He doesn't show any tantrums. Despite being a huge star, the stardom doesn't come out. He is very humble and he strives for perfection. Even if the director is happy with the take, he would ask for one more take to attain that perfection. He is also very encouraging. There was this incident in Goa where we were shooting for a song and I was not getting a particular dance move right. He was very patient and kept encouraging me to get it right.
What was the main thing that attracted you to Anjaan?
I have plenty of good scenes in the movie and I have lion's share of good dialogues. The main purpose of a heroine in a commercial movie is to look good. Santhosh Sivan's camera has made the visuals look even better. In this movie, I got a package of both. And I have always wanted to work with Lingusamy sir and Suriya.
Tell us about the experience of working under Lingusamy
Lingusamy sir is totally chilled out all the time. He cannot have a bad day. He doesn't seem to be pressurized by the huge expectations surrounding the release. He is totally fun to work with.
On the 'Midas Touch' tag in Telugu and being referred as the Golden Girl?
(Laughs) It's good to know that in Telugu, I have this tag. But this 'midas touch' tag is somewhat pressurizing as well. In Tamil, I need a big hit. If some movies don't go my way, it becomes news. I am happy as long as my films do well.
How do you juggle between Tamil & Telugu movies because the sensibilities of two industries are widely different?
The kind of movies that are being made in Tamil have a stark difference to the Telugu movies. There are wonderful technicians in both the industries. I have been part of different Telugu movies like Eega & Manam too. It is good to see both the industries growing.
You have worked in lots of multi-starrers in Telugu. What prompts you to sign those movies?
Those are all beautiful films and I didn’t want to miss out on an opportunity to be part of those superb scripts. Last year I did Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu eventhough I knew I had only a small role. Since it was such a great film, I didn’t want to miss out on being part of it.
Your fashion sense seems to be one of your great attributes. Was a conscious effort put into that?
We need to keep ourselves updated. Unless I do something different, the audience will be bored. So, I just keep changing with the times.
'Anjaan' in Dolby Atmos

Anjaan Movie Review
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fim.sify.com%2Fsifycmsimg%2Faug2014%2F15058126_anjaan340.jpg&hash=cb0e38258ce5ba7192f18084e3f871b32603b726)
Director: N. Lingusamy
Cast: Suriya, Samantha, Vidyut, Manoj
Music: Yuvan
Anjaan tries its best to be a mass masala entertainer but falls short, due to inherent weakness in the script and execution. To a large extent the film is salvaged by Suriya’s charisma and star power.
The film stands on a thin storyline. Krishna (Suriya) comes from Kanyakumari to Mumbai in search of his brother. He finds out that his brother Raju Bhai (Suriya) was a dreaded don of Mumbai underworld, and he trusted only one man Chandru (Vidyut Jamwal) his mentor and best friend.
Raju Bhai was fighting a legion of enemies (all Bollywood baddies- Manoj Bajpai, Dilip Tahil etc) and one day gets knocked off. The film is about love, friendship and cold blooded revenge. The interval block is the best part of the film with a riveting fight sequence choreographed by action director Silva. The scene has been done in a striking manner which leaves the audience surprised, thanks to Suriya terrific performance. In the first half, the romance between Suriya and Samantha lightens up the mood and the song ‘Ek Do Theen’ is shot in a very glamorous manner by cinematographer Santosh Sivan.
Lingusamy has made it like a formula movie. A super hero, who never loses, speaks punch lines, romances and in a cunning twist annihilates the main villain. The friendship angle between Suriya and Vidyut has been handled in a light hearted manner. Samantha in itsy-bitsy clothes including a two-piece adds glamour, while there is Chitrangada Singh’s item number provides the oomph.
Soori as a Mumbai taxi driver looks like has been roped in for a comedy track at the last minute. Was there any need of that lengthy scene involving Brahmanandam? ( Probably to satisfy the Telugu audiences!) The villains all suffer due to bad lip sync.
The BGM of Yuvan Shankar Raja is one of the highlights of the film and Suriya’s introduction song ‘Bang, Bang Bang…’ is peppy and well picturised. Santosh Sivan’s camera gives it the rich look. . Suriya is the saving grace in otherwise a slow moving film. Vidyut has a meaty role and he is ok. One of the major drawbacks of the film is its length, nearly 3 hours. It needs urgent trimming to make it racier.On the whole, Anjaan is for those who seek unabashed entertainment and relish masala films.
Suriya opens up about 'Anjaan' criticism
(https://friendstamilchat.in/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.sify.com%2Fcms%2Fimage%2FoitlSlhgjcjdf.jpg&hash=5cec17e4e394c2ca77efe5a9c77e90ad5472be36)
Anjaan’s press show was held on Sunday evening in Chennai. Suriya who attended the press show thanked the media for their support to him over the years, which helped him to reach his current position.
The actor further said, compared to his previous movies Anjaan’s collections have been phenomenal. To avoid piracy, they have gone for a wide release of 1,500 screens all over the world. Anjaan’s PR has issued a statement that it has collected approximately Rs 30 Crore worldwide during the Independence Day weekend (Aug 15 to 17).
Suriya says in general, the feedback has been positive but some people are deliberate in spreading negativity about the movie. He understands people have the right to voice their opinions, but he wanted to them be constructive and measured.
Suriya in an interview to a newspaper is quoted as saying: “Everybody is entitled to their opinion and I respect that. But as an actor, I try to fit in a sensibility that reaches out to newer pockets of audiences. For example, when Singham released, the A centre audience felt was that it was too rustic. Guess every time I attempt a minor sensibility change, it is bound to create such reactions. Ultimately, it all boils down to the box office collections.”
He said Anjaan was never meant for a particular section of the audience and it is for the masses and he is happy that movie is doing well at the box office and at the end of the day, that’s all matters.
