VIJAY in VIL




The film was originally titled 'Vil' that is also the title of SJ Suryah's film, so people wondered how the same title could be used for Vijay's film. Now it is clearly titled 'Villu,' and answers all the unanswered questions.

Supposed to be a Hindi film re-make, the shooting for 'Villu' starts today. Nayantara is the heroine and Vijay as usual has the unshaven look of 4 days stubble.

Ravi Varman, who is directing 'Moscowin Kaveri' is the cinematographer of 'Villu.' Devisriprasad has already started composing the music. They could not get Prakashraj's call sheet in 'Kuruvi' and have already got it now at the start of the film.

The Vadivelu-Vijay combo was also not possible for 'Kuruvi' and was spoken about as something missing.

The name is Villu and its official. Vijay’s next movie with Prabudeva has been named Villu and has started its shooting in Pazhani. Villu said to be a racy movie with all the ingredients Vijay fans will love has Ilayathalapathi Vijay and Nayantara playing the lead roles. Prabudeva directs the flick and Devi Sri Prasand will make Vijay and Nayan dance to his tunes.

The movie went through a series of name change, with the initial title being Seval. This title was registered by director Hari for his upcomming movie with Bharath, and Hari refused to part with the title to Vijay. Then Vijay and Prabudeva chose the title Singam for the movie and Hari then announced that his next project with Surya is titled Singam.

Hence the final title of the movie Villu. Hope the title proves lucky for the Vijay-Prabudeva combination and they can repeat their Pokkiri success.

After the lukewarm response received for Kuruvi, Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay is out on his next mission ‘Villu’ to be directed by Prabhu Deva. It has been reported that the team is charged up to make Villu a great hottie just like their previous project Pokkiri.

Nayanthara will be teaming up with Vijay as heroine for the first time though she did an item number earlier in Sivakasi. The unit will be leaving for Pazhani for a week long shooting which will involve Vijay, Nayan and Vadivelu. After the completion of this part, the crew has plans to move overseas to New Zealand in the first week of July for a twenty day shoot where some important scenes are planned to be canned.

ACTOR Vijay will enter his 35th year this Sunday . While meeting him on the D-Day is reason enough to cheer his fans, the actor seems to have yet another plan up his sleeve. He will unveil the flag for his Akila Indiya Vijay Rasigar Narpani Mandram on that day.

If that wasn’t interesting enough, the flag that the Ilaya Thalapthy launches will bear a striking similarity to the one that Rajini’s fans have for their association. While Rajini’s flag had Light Blue, White and Red with the Superstar’s image imprinted in a star in it, Vijay’s flag is said to be in Light Blue and White with Vijay’s face over it.

Likewise, another actor to have a fan club flag was Vijayakanth, who later used it as his party’s flag. The same goes for Sarath Kumar too and this new move by Vijay has, expectedly , raised eyebrows about his political aspirations.

With over 45 movies spanning 16 years in kollywood, Vijay had the lover boy tag attached to him until Thiru malai happened in 2003. Establishing him further as a hero the next year was Ghilli, directed by Dharani which went on to become a blockbuster. From then, the actor went from strength to strength, with hits like Thirupaachi, Sivakasi and Pokkiri, which came to soar his career after a dud Aathi.

The Ghilli crew joined hands once again to recreate the Ghilli magic but didn’t quite succeed in Kuruvi, which is his latest release. The actor has just begun work on his next project, Villu, along with Nayantara directed by Prabhu Deva.

Currently in Salakudi, shooting for Villu, Vijay is expected to flow to Chennai on Sunday morning to celebrate his birthday with fans. The birth day will end with a grand celebration on Sunday evening at 4.30 pm at the University of Madras, Centenary Hall. The actor is expected to unveil the fan club flag and announce other welfare activities that will be undertaken by his fan club in phases.

Vijay had earlier announced that he will build wedding halls in different parts of the state and now, he will launch the fan club flag. The ever-reticent actor might never intend getting into politics after all, and might just have wanted to mobilize fans after two box officer bloopers, but the talks about his political aspirations will sure not cease anytime now.

Prabhu Deva's forthcoming directorial venture has finally been named. Earlier, the film was titled Singam but director Hari made it clear that he had registered the name. With this, Prabhu Deva and Vijay were on the lookout for an appropriate name. Everything seems to be settled now with the team finally zeroing in on a suitable title. Vijay's next film will be called Vil!

That apart, seems like Vijay has missed his combination scenes with Vadivelu in Kuruvi so much that he left no stones unturned to make sure he is a part of Vil. According to sources close to producers, Vadivelu has been roped in for Vil for jaw dropping astronomical sums. It is also said that Vadivelu has had to amend his commitments for other already agreed projects to make room for Vijay.

Nayan plays opposite Vijay for Vil, touted to be an action adventure film, produced by Ayngaran International. Prakash Raj and Biju Menon are also included in the cast and Vil will have Ravi Varman’s camera and Devi Sri Prasad’s music. The venture will go on floors June 7th onwards.

Villu’s midnight grind!

After wrapping up the first schedule in Palani, the second schedule of the Prabhu Deva directed, Vijay starrer is underway in Chennai from July 1, 2008. The shoots are being carried out with stringent security measures in and around the Nandambakkam area late into the night. We worked our sources and found out that a few hair- raising stunt sequences are being canned in Nandambakkam.

The crew is expected to complete the schedule in 15 days after which it would travel to Thirunelveli for filming some significant sequences. Also, Nayan will join the crew during this leg of the shooting, reveal sources.
