'Osthi': Who plays what?
While we know that STR is playing a carefree cop Velan in his forthcoming film 'Osthi', here goes the list of other characters from this film that has set in much expectations among the young and masses at urban and rural centers.
Naasser plays STR's father, while Revathy his mother. 'Jithan' Ramesh is STR's brother in this movie and his love interest is Saranya Mohan. Needless to say, Richa Gangopadhyay, the Tollywood import, plays Simbu's lady love.
Wait, we have more to say. STR's close friend and producer VTV Ganesh has played Richa's father in this film directed by Dharani, while Santhanam, Mayilsamy and Vaiyapuri have played the colleagues of the hero in police station. And Thambi Ramaiah is playing a crucial character role.
Sonu Sood has done a powerful baddie and 'Osthi' will be an important film in his career, it is said. STR's special song with Mallika Sherawat, 'Kalasala...' has been picturised on a whopping budget and plans are on to release the movie by the end of this month.Source :Indiaglitz

Osthi’s release
Enquiries, however, revealed the heavy rains are the major problem as the Osthi team has to shoot the climax portions outdoors. Following the rains, director Dharani and team have decided to put off the shooting and this is likely to delay the release.
However, the release date has now been confirmed to be on November 23rd, according music director Thaman and Jithan Ramesh who has done an important role in the film.

I didn't want to copy Salman: 'Osthi' star STR
When I was offered this role, I knew I'd have to make it my own. Though we adapted few nuances from the original, like when Salman takes his sunglasses and hangs it on his collar, everything else is presented in a new light. I have not spoken to Salman Khan yet. We will meet after 'Osthe' releases.
Mallika Sherawat:
I had read a lot about Mallika (Sherawat) but I hadn't met her before this. While shooting for 'Kalasala', she told me people were tweeting her, asking her to better her moves because she would be dancing with me (laughs). I admire the way she carried off those typical koothu moves. I did share some tips but she is a good performer in her own right.
Honest people inspire me:
I am aware that I meet people who act honest and have intentions to take advantage of me, but I trust my instincts. I know when people are genuine and when they aren't.
There are many remakes in the film industry:
This does not mean there is a lack of new ideas. Good cinema should reach a wider audience. 'Dabanng' was a blockbuster and it is a good movie, there's no harm in sharing the same story with a different section of the audience.
I was shocked:
I was shocked and perhaps paranoid when I read the reports of my six pack for 'Osthe'. I didn't want people to have the wrong expectations from the film, because I was really not planning to show off my body. But when the news spread, I spoke to my director and decided that I would shape up for the climax sequence.
Stress:
To deal with stress, I just listen to music. It charges me and fills me up with good spirit. My favourite is 'Kadhal Valarthen' ('Manmathan').
Given all the aspects of filmmaking, I believe music is the most essential. Be it background music or a song, music completes a film. I am very particular about getting good music for all my movies. If there's a sequence in slow motion, and if you have music to go with it, it becomes better.
I am an emotional person. When I get involved in a relationship, I give my 100 per cent. I don't care if she is an actress or if she belongs to any other profession. If I love someone, I love her with all my heart. This applies to my work as well.
All time viewing :
'Notebook' (2004): Because the man (played by Ryan Gosling) was in love with her (Rachel Adams) until she dies.
'Perfume' (2004): It is a very different kind of a movie. The protagonist goes to lengths to search for the ultimate scent. The movie almost lets you smell the scent.
'Oru Thalai Ragam' (1980): It is about one sided love. The protagonist (Vijaya Rajendra) is crazily in love but the woman realises it only after he dies. I believe this a unique film in Tamil cinema.
'Osthe' is scheduled to release on November .

STR takes on Sonusood
“The stunt sequences, plus the scene in which Salman and Sonu Sood take off their shirts to reveal their six-packs, were the talking point of the original. Now, Dharani wants to make sure the climax sequence also get talked about. The shooting is likely to go on for about 10 days and only the stunt sequences on Simbu and Sonu Sood will be canned now. There will be bare body sequences featuring both of them and the actors have given it their all to achieve a good physique,” a source reveals.
STR had said that it has become inevitable for him to develop a six-pack because he can’t avoid comparisons between him and Salman, at least during the climax scene. “He has followed a strict diet and has been working out a lot. He has lost a lot of weight and looks.

Osthi - Kalasala Gaana Review
Baba Sehgal, Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Naveen Madhav
Looks like Vaali, instead of ink, has filled his pen with youthfulness. And it is failing to dry even after decades. Sample 'Osthi Maamey...' to believe us, as the veteran, in the company of young guns (music composer Thaman and singers Baba Sehgal, Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Naveen Madhav) has scored a perfect tune. A racy opening on the lines of such numbers in 'Dhil', 'Dhool' and 'Ghilli'. Simbu's 'kuthu' in this number is going to be a highlight.
Unnale Unnale :
Thaman S, Rita
Besides giving his best on the music front, Thaman has crooned this number too, in association with Rita. A folk number which speaks about the relationship between a young man and a woman, Yugabharathi's lyrics adds more meaning to Thaman's composition. The singer in Thaman is in full form. What starts as a folk, becomes a melody as it progresses, adding a mesmerizing feel.
Rahul Nambiar, Mahathi
A mass duet with instruments blazing on a fast track, 'Neduvaali...' will give the listeners a mood to tap their feet, if at all they are not in a mood to dance. Rahul Nambiar's power-packed rendering and Mahathi's mellifluous voice do the expected magic. Yugabharathi has liberally used words like 'damaal' and 'dumeel'. Exactly that's how the song is. Thaman rocks.
Pondatti :
Silambarasan
STR is at his best when it comes to penning lyrics that are loaded with latest lingo. After 'Loosu pennay' and 'Evandi unnai pethan', here comes the Young Superstar with 'Pondatti...' The actor has taken charge of the singing department too, which he has done with ease and elan. Thaman has broken the popular theory that only Yuvan Shankar Raja can cater to Simbu and his fans.
Vijaya T Rajendar, L R Easwari
The best is perhaps reserved for the last. 'Kalasala...' the Tamil equivalent of Bollywood chartbuster 'Munni... fulfills all expectations, and even exceeds at some places. With TR and L R Easwari, the two energetic performers, crooning it at high levels, 'Kalasala...' is set to take Thaman to great heights in Kollywood. For it strikes an instant chord in the very first beat and the tempo is maintained till the very end.

Media made six pack inevitable : STR
Following the music release of the much expected Osthi, remake of the Hindi blockbuster Dabbang, directed by Dharani, the team of the film hosted a press conference on Thursday to give further details. They were obviously delighted at the enthusiastic response to the sound tracks of the movie and looked very upbeat about their product.
Speaking to the press, Mayilsaamy, part of Osthi’s cast said that Silambarasan had taken extra care and effort in all departments of the film; recalling that the actor had been involved in many late night discussions with music director Thaman about the finer details of the sound tracks. Jithan Ramesh, also part of the film’s cast thanked director Dharani for giving a very strong and important role in the film.
Thaman said that the response to Osthi is bound to put a lot of pressure on his future projects, especially the Kalasala item number featuring Mallika Sherawat, which is predicted to be a rage. He said that whenever a composer delivered a hit item number or ‘kuthu’ number, there would be similar expectations from all his future albums.
STR spoke and said that he had carefully watched Salman Khan’s performance in Dabbang and then decided the way he would go about the character in Osthi. He was a bit unsure about how to deal with the scene where Salman had flaunted his six packs. When he asked Dharani the same, the director said that they would cross the bridge when they came to it. But, the media got ahead of the director and brought out news of STR’s possible six pack look in Osthi. This left STR and Dharani with little choice because they did not want to disappoint eager fans. So, STR started working out and has sported a flawless pack of abs in Osthi.
Dharani said that he initially had planned to take his time with Osthi and give a very good product. But, after the start of filming, the flow of things was very good and he ended up wrapping up the film in a single schedule of 93 days and the outcome also has been very good.
With the music on its way to becoming a rage, fans are eagerly waiting the release of Osthi in theatres.
