A R Murugadoss is one of the very few filmmakers, who have worked with the likes of actors like Ajith, Surya and Vijay. HisThuppaki starring Vijay is almost complete. Known for his racy action-packed ventures,Thuppaki too has a similar theme. The movie speaks about a cop who weeds out criminals from the society. Impressed with the story line, Vijay had given bulk dates for the film. He hit the gym hard and reduced his weight to play a tough cop. Carrying a national theme, major portion of the movie was shot in Mumbai and its adjoining areas.Kajal Agarwal plays Vijay's heroine in the film. Sources say that following reports of Thupppaki shaping up well, there is a mad rush in Bollywood to do the Hindi remake of the movie. Remember Murugadoss made Ghajini in Hindi with Aamir Khan in the lead. It was a bumper hit.  

What do superstar Rajinikanth and popular Tamil actor Vijay have in common? Both of them have had the PMK up in arms against them for smoking scenes in their films. As posters of Vijay's upcoming film 'Thuppakki' were plastered in some parts of Chennai showing him smoking, PMK - the party of former Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss - has shot off letters to the authorities condemning the violation of the ban on tobacco promotion. The protests have emanated from Pasumai Thayagam, the environmental wing of the Vanniyar-based PMK. A complaint has also been sent to the Chennai Police Commissioner. Thuppakki , which means gun, with the tag line 'You don't shoot to kill but to stay alive' is slated for an Independence Day release and has Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead. Directed by AR Murugadoss of Ghajini fame, the music is being scored by Harris Jayaraj. This isn't the first time the PMK has upped the ante against smoking scenes or posters. Many year...

The second when Vijay enters the sets, he switches his mobiles in off condition. He does not switch them again, until his portions are shot or until, he is permitted to take break". This good habit from Vijay has impressed one an all.
