Ilayathalapathi Vijay in ‘Pagalavan’

Looks like the Seeman – Vijay duo is keen on starting ‘Pagalavan’ right after Vijay finishes up with ‘Nanban,’ a multi-starrer under Shankar’s direction.

We had earlier told you the script consisted of a doctor Vijay, who plays the role of Pugazhendi and serves the poor in a village and then fights a mafia who deals with expired medicines.

But now, Seeman has brought about certain changes in ‘Pagalavan’s script, making it a whole-new-package altogether!

This new aspect will show a young Vijay fighting for a cause, against the privatization of certain sectors by the Government. ‘Pagalavan’ will see a rough-tough war between Vijay who is a doctor and a police officer. And during these fights, Vijay realizes he can do better for the common man if he is a part of the police force.

He then studies IPS, rises to power as a police official in the society and puts an end to the mafia who is dealing with expired medicines.

So yes, Vijay dons the avatar of a doctor and later a police officer in ‘Pagalavan.’ We must remember that Vijay’s earlier movie where he played a cop - ‘Pokkiri’ was a blockbuster. Latest "VELAYUDHAM" was a blockbuster 2011 in kollywood movie.

Vijay And A.R.Murugadoss To Take Off]

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 04:21 AM PST

AR Murugadoss is gearing up for his next project, which will star Vijay. The filmmaker, who received mixed response for his recently released 7aam Arivu from the audience and critics, is all set to start his next biggie in Thiruchendur, Thoothukudi district.

The makers of the film have decided to launch the forthcoming multilingual movie at the Thiruchendur Murugan temple, one of the six abodes of Lord Muruga. The story of the movie will start from the seaside and then moves on to Mumbai, where the major part of the movie will be shot. It is said to be a gangster film, which would a action-packed film.

Sources say that the movie will have two female leads. Kingfisher model Angela Johnson has been signed and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is being considered for the other leading lady role. The movie is produced by SA Chandrasekhar and it is reported that Santosh Sivan is the cinematographer of the upcoming movie. Other details are under wraps.

I knew 'Velayutham' would work: Vijay ‎

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 04:06 AM PST

Sharp, measured and bright. That's exactly how one can best describe actor Vijay's responses to searching questions posed by City Express.

The star, who has proven to industry pundits through his back-to-back hits with 'Kaavalan' and 'Velayutham' that he is still a force to be reckoned with in Kollywood, is clearly on a winning spree. And that spree might just not be confined to Kollywood and may well extend to the business of politics, if one is to go by the indications given by the star.

With 'Velayudham' still going strong after having been declared a hit in over 800 centres and with three other big films with established directors like Shankar, Murugadoss and Gautam Menon all set to follow, Vijay's reply to his critics, who wrote him off after Sura's failure, it seems, is only bound to get stronger and louder in the coming days.

Beginning by commenting on his experience of working on 'Velayutham', Vijay says, "We worked really hard for a year. In fact, when about 60 percent of this film was over, I recalled all the scenes that we had shot and knew then itself that this movie would work big time. I told director Jayam Raja too about this feeling of mine."

But then, draw his attention to the fact that during Deepavali, there were reports of a battle being silently fought over screens and he responds by thinking for a complete minute before answering, "I want to discuss something useful. Today, my movie's a hit and that is all that matters."

'Velayutham's handsome performance at the box office, that too close on the heels of 'Kavalan's success, is certainly a shot in the arm for him. But he Sharp, measured and bright. That's exactly how one can best describe actor Vijay's responses to searching questions posed by City Express.

Did he actually make a conscious effort to plan these films to reverse his fortunes at the box office? Responds Vijay, "Everybody goes through these phases. I don't pay too much attention to them. I went through a bad phase and now it is going well. I don't plan anything. If something appeals to me, I do it. For instance, I was supposed to do a movie a couple of years ago with Jayam Raja. But then, that never materialised. Had it materialised also, we still could not have been sure if it would have been as successful as 'Velayutham' has been."

The actor's next film to hit screens will be Shankar's 'Nanban', the Tamil remake of the blockbuster '3 Idiots'. Initially, rumours were doing the rounds in the industry that all was not well between the ace director and Vijay and as a result, Vijay had even walked out of the project only to return later.

Refuting these rumours, Vijay says, "Firstly, director Shankar is a wonderful human being. I've known him from the days he was an assistant director to my dad. His growth has been nothing less than phenomenal and I've been both impressed and proud of his growth. As for the rumours, there is no truth in them. The only thing that we had to sort out was the dates problem. 'Nanben's offer came my way when I was half-way through 'Velayutham' and managing dates wasn't easy. But we figured a way out."

About the cast of 'Nanben', Vijay says, "Both Srikanth and Jiiva are good friends. Sathyaraj Sir plays the villain in the film. Tamil cinema would not have witnessed a bond as the one that exists between Sathyaraj Sir and me in this film."

Finally, ask Vijay where he sees himself five years from now, Kollywood or Bollywood and he pauses. "I don't plan anything. Especially, anything that's that long", he says.

Persist and ask him, 'Politics'? He smiles and signs off saying, "May be".

Trade reports say that Velayudham has managed to collect Rs.52.2 crore plus, whereas 7aam Arivu raked in Rs. 50.2 crore in the first week. Surya's movie had edge over Vijay starrer film because it hit the screens with 1200 prints worldwide. On the other end, Jayam Raja's movie, which was approximately released in 820 theatres, started attracting audience after getting thumbs up from the fans and good word-of-mouth from the viewers.
It is said that the state government's permission to increase the screenings during the 5-day weekend have helped the producers of both the films to large extent.

However, the collections of 7aam Arivu are expected to slow down, as the theatre owners are now planning to reduce the number of screenings thereby increasing Velayudham.

Vijay Interview to Times of India

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 12:23 AM PDT

Vijay, post a successful outing in Velayudham, is looking forward to his next projects.

Basking in the success of his Deepavali release and ready to work with director A R Murugadoss, Vijay shares a slice of his happiness with Chennai Times...

Velayudham has been liked by the audience and critics. How do you feel?
I am very happy. After one year of hard work put in by the whole team, it's nice to reap the rewards. I was keen on working with Jayam Raja and I am glad this worked out well for us.

Were you confident the movie would click?
When you are making certain movies, you know almost instinctively that it will work. When this movie was 60 per cent complete, I told director Raja that I had seen the rushes and I am confident that the movie will turn out well. The highlight of this film is the story. My father always says that for a movie to be a commercial success, the base of the film has to be strong. I also don't believe in talking too much about my film before it releases - I would like the audience to go with an open mind, without any expectations and really enjoy it. And I think they did.

So it's a remake of Azaad...
It's been inspired by Azaad. I first saw that film years ago and I thought I should do a film like that at some point. When I met director Raja and we got chatting, this movie came to mind. And then we realized the remake rights were actually with my father!

There was talk that you had trouble getting adequate screens to release Velayudham....
I don't want to waste time talking about such things. The movie is a success and that's all that matters.

How is Nanban coming along?
If Velayudham has been a success, Nanban will create euphoria of a different kind. Everyone would have seen 3 idiots. Even if you have seen the Hindi version, the Tamil film will be fresh. Director Shankar has tailor-made it for the Tamil audience.

Director Shankar...
Working with director Shankar has been an amazing experience. I was supposed to do Mudhalvan with him but it didn't work out unfortunately. His knack of bringing out a performance from an actor was novel to me. He appreciates the little nuances in an actor. And, he's a wonderful human being as well.

Are remakes a good trend?
I personally believe it's a healthy trend. We are taking something that has already worked and adapting it to our sensibilities. When the remake of 3 idiots came along, I definitely wanted to do it.

You have seen a few ups and downs in the last few years...
Sura was one film which affected me terribly (laughs)... but it was my mistake. I did the film with full faith, but unfortunately it didn't work. Kaavalan was cute and it did well.

Would you want to do try something offbeat?
I would like to try different things within the framework of commercial cinema which I have been successful at.

And what keeps you busy at home?
Right now, I am between films so I am spending a lot of time with my family.
