Now Vijay starrer Thuppakki, directed by AR Murugadoss is on the floors around the Mumbai locales. Having sensed the local charm and the native relics, both ARM and Vijay have decided to instill more effect on villainy. For this they have picked Gautham Kurup who won fame for his thumping performance in Kandhahar. This has made Gautham more happy to work along with the star from Kollywood.
