Thalapathy Vijay

For Billa 2, director Chakri Toleti relied more on the Bollywood sprints for the baddie roles. Hence he imported more than three artists for the destitute roles. This has been insisted by Ajith too. 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. He expressed his joy on having been associated with ARM, since he has been longing for such occasion since Ghajini. Though there is no official buzz nor any sneaks about the story of the movie, it is learnt that ARM is aiming on a theme of national importance. This could be the mixture of Mani Ratnam's Roja, Kamal's Unnaipol Oruvan and Thala's Mankatha, it is believed.  

  first look of Shankar's Nanban in Telugu as Snehitudu:    

The audio launch of Nanban took off at around 5 pm at the Hindustan College Grounds in Coimbatore yesterday. Vijay's dad and director SA Chandrasekar released the audio which was received by Prabhu. Vijay entertained the audiences by singing the Yedho Unnale song from the film. During this speech, he thanked director Shankar for giving him the opportunity to star in Nanban. Vijay added that he made several true friends during the making of Nanban and attributed this to the film's title. The star was indicating that Jiiva, Srikanth, and others are his good friends and is happy to be associated with them. He was then honored with an enormous garland and a crown. Shankar had an interesting episode to narrate about how he came to direct a remake. When Shankar was busy with Endhiran, the shooting was delayed one fine day. This earned him an opportunity to see 3 Idiots. As soon as he saw the film, Shankar said that he decided to go for a remake. That is how Nanban was born! Praising ...

Though Vijay has started working on his Nanban, he heart is still with Nanban, a remake of 3 Idiots. Director Shankar is busy giving final touches to the movie and the audio will be launched in a grand manner on 23 December in Coimbatore. Says Vijay, ' This film will be a trendsetter and help people break the shackles. I wanted to work with Shankar for a very long time. He is one of the best directors I have worked with.' Meanwhile on his part, Jeeva says, 'Shankar has no airs and has been very encouraging, especially since my role is supposed to be comical. He constantly gave me instructions as to what I should do and all the instructions are given over the microphone.  

No first look posters, No teasers and it's a silent launch of Vijay's next movie 'Thupaki'. The film had its way through considerations of various titles starting from Maalai Nerathu Mazhaithuli.
