Music: Devi Sri Prasad

The duo combo Hari-Surya has already churned out some successful films ‘Aaru’ and ‘Vel’. Now, they are back in showbiz with yet another action-packed commercial entertainer titled ‘Singam’. Followed by his overpowering performance in ‘Kaaka Kaaka’, Surya performs the role of a cop with Anushka starring opposite him in female lead.
Here, we a hint for you to take a look over visuals. Almost all the frames have been slanted towards the side of Anushka to project Surya taller than her. According to the sources in shooting spots, Surya would actually wear high heels prior to Anushka’s arrival so as to look naturally taller.
Apart from Prakash Raj and Vivek, actors Manorama, Radha Ravi, Nasser, Sumithra, Janaki Subash, Yuvarani, Delhi Kumar, Nizhalgal Ravi, Adhitya, Ajay Rathnam, Besant Ravi, Crane Manohar, Bose Venkat, Nanda Saravanan, Manobala, Paandu, Thyagu and others have performed prominent roles.
This is a very special film for Surya as it’s his 25th flick in career and is produced by his uncle Gnyanavel Rajan. It’s worth mentioning that it’s Hari’s 10th film with almost all his films happening to be a success in box office.
But it’s really makes us wonder how come Devi Sri Prasad has been roped for scoring music. He has been loosing out more offers in Tamil and Telugu film industry due to his inconsistency to deliver good music. V.T. Vijayan handles editing with Priyan cranking the camera and K. Kathir is the art director.
The film’s shooting commenced in Chennai and had the following schedules in Nellai, Kuttralam, Thenkasi, Amba Samuthiram, Tuticorin, Thiruchendur, Karaikudi and other surrounding places. Apart from these locales, couple of songs choreographed by Brindha was shot in Dubai.
The film’s audio is reported to be launched by this month and film will hit screens by April. It’s confirmed news that Sun Pictures has acquired the rights over ‘Singam’, which is a good news for the entire team and especially producers.
Expectations: Ready to roar in theatres

Suriya is sure of scoring a hat-trick with 'Singam', his 25th film, after the back-to-back successes of 'Ayan' and 'Aadhavan'.
Teaming up with director Hari after 'Aaru' and 'Vel', Suriya plays a tough police officer who fights for a cause in the movie. Produced by Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green Productions. 'Singam' features Prakash Raj as the antagonist while Anushka plays Suriya's ladylove.
Says Hari, "both ‘Aaru’ and ‘Vel’ were commercial hits. We hope to make it three-in-a-row with ‘Singam’. Suriya had played a similar role in 'Kaakka Kaakka' earlier, but ‘Singam’ is being made differently. It will be more vibrant and action-packed."
He adds: "Suriya and Prakash Raj are coming together for the first time. Devi Sri Prasad has scored some peppy numbers and one of the duet songs choreographed by Brindha was shot in the exotic locales of Dubai."

Even as he rules the roost in Tollywood, delivering hit albums after super hit albums, Devi Sri Prasad has been roped in as the music director by K S Ravikumar of Kollywood to score tunes for his Kamal Haasan starrer.
The film stars Madhavan and Trisha, apart from Kamal. This is the second time Devi is teaming up with Kamal, after ‘Dasavatharam’ for which he composed background score.
After ‘Mazhai’ and ‘Aaru’, and other hits, Devi is all set to dole out another musical hit in Tamil. It may be noted that the most-sought after Telugu musician is every young, but is creating waves in the biggest South Indian industry.
Never the one to spell out his dreams before the media, it seems that he is all set to take Kollywood too by storms in the coming years.
