1. Kodi

Kodi has Dhanush and Trisha Krishnan sharing screenspace for the first time and Anupama Parameswaran plays the second female lead. This hyped political thriller has garnered lot of interest since Dhanush takes up a dual role. One is that of a college lecturer while the other is that of a politician.

With the trend of Tamil film being released in Telugu also Kodi is also set to release in Telugu in the name of Dharma Yogi. The film is the production venture of Grass Root Film Company. Santhosh Narayananhas composed scores for this film. Well, we wish the entire team of Kodi all the best for its success.

2. Kashmora

Kashmora, which is the costliest film in Karthi’s career, is set to clash with Kodi this Diwali. The movie, which is a dark fantasy thriller, is also releasing in Telugu; Karthi has a good fan base in Telugu too. Karthi is having great hopes on this film in which he shares screenspace with Nayantara and Sri Divya. The direction of this film is by Gokul, and Karthi will essay three roles with different shades. The movie was also talked about a lot recently since it was compared a lot with Baahubali. Karthi asked the audiences not to compare the film with Baahubali; yet he promised that the flick will be a treat to the eyes. The flashback scenes of Kashmora are hyped to be the major assets of the film. Santhosh Narayanan has scored music for this flick. This is not all…it is learnt that the flick has some good VFX effects and about 25 companies got associated with the film to work on these effects.

Also, the cast and crew of the flick are doing their best to promote the movie which is produced by Dharma Productions. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally accepted a Karan Johar venture since she couldn’t allot dates for his previous films earlier, for which she was approached. It should be noted that the appearance of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan sparked a nation-wide debate about featuring stars across the border in Bollywood films. As per director Karan Johar the movie Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is not in fact about infidelity. Well, now we have to watch the film to know whether we have to appreciate Karan Johar for the content and execution of the film.
