Vijay Speaks On 'Velayudham' & Its Highlights

 
 

As 'Velayudham' is gearing up for a Diwali release and the team is running from pillar to post as part of the promotional activities, IG caught up with Ilayathalapathy Vijay for an interview. Read on as Vijay gets candid and speaks on his role in Velayudham, clarifies reports on the much talked about Dookudu remake, his project with AL Vijay, his plans this Diwali and a lot more!Excerpts from the chat with the ace personality…
How did this film with Jayam Raja happen?
I have watched all his films and I was supposed to work with him two years back itself under Sanguli Murugan sir's banner. We missed out on it and he started off a project with his brother, Jayam Ravi. Then we met one day and he came with a one-liner on Velayudham which interested me so we started off with this project immediately. I asked him jokingly whether he will do movies only with his brother and not me and that's how all this started off.
This is a commercial entertainer and you have delivered many time and again. But this is your first part superhero project, what's special about it? What about the horse riding scenes?
Yes but this is not a superhero film with extra powers for the hero or something on those lines. 'Velayudham' portrays the hero somewhere between a common man and a superhero. Speaking on horse riding, actually I learnt horse riding quite a while ago, even before stepping into films. All the training is being of use to me now (smiles).
Most of your films highlight upon brother – sister bonding, but can we say your bond with Saranya forms the crux of this plot as she has reported in an interview?
No it definitely is not the crux of the film but can be called as one of the highlights in 'Velayudham'. No matter what, be it now or after many years, this is one relationship among our folk that will never change! It's an evergreen something.
Speaking on stunts, are there other highlights apart from the train stunt sequence?
Tom Delmar did the train sequence and yes, much has been spoken about it to audiences already. Apart from this there's a fight scene in a harbor which will definitely be a big highlight in 'Velayudham', I can assure it will be something very interesting to look forward to and something my fans will enjoy watching on-screen.
How true is it that there are 30 comedians?
Well, I can say that under Santhanam's captainship there will 29 comedians. There's a whole team of comedians itself that he heads so we have meant it in that way.
All your forthcoming films are with top-notch directors, Murugadoss, Gautham Menon and Shankar. We understand we'll be seeing a suave avatar of Vijay, but why haven't we seen this earlier?
To tell the truth, honestly, I have been approached by all these directors only now and I loved the scripts so I accepted them. It is not like I wanted to do these kind of films only now but these projects are coming my way only now and I am happy to accept them.
Are you doing Dookudu remake?
I watched the film, I really liked and enjoyed watching it but I am not doing the film's Tamil remake.
Udhaynidhi has expressed he'll watch 'Velayudham' first show. When will you watch '7aum Arivu'?
I will definitely watch it on Diwali, no doubts about that but I don't know which show. I will watch '7aum Arivu', my film 'Velayudham' and 'Ra.One' on Diwali. How many ever films will release that day I will watch them all the very same day, no doubts. That's how crazy I am about films (smiles).
No doubts we see a balance between Hansika & Genelia in trailers, but can you tell what will be the highlight?
The director has beautifully balanced between Hansika and Genelia's character. There's no way anyone can compare their characters since they are so different from one another. My scenes with both of them are like two different episodes to frame it rightly. However I must say that Genelia's character plays a key role in my character seeing a change in the film, from that of a commoner to that of a superhero.
About your film with AL Vijay…
Yes we both are talking about it but it will take time, probably even two more years to go on floors! But there's a lot of time for an official announcement on this front.
A recent Tamil film that Vijay enjoyed thoroughly…
'Kanchana'! My kids enjoyed this horror film so very much that when I'm home they'll be enacting the scenes from the film to me!Vijay expressed his Diwali wishes to his fans worldwide and IndiaGlitz visitors, hoping his fans will enjoy his Diwali gift to them, 'Velayudham'. Post your Diwali wishes to Vijay and expectations on 'Velayudham' in here and we'll make sure the star catches a glimpse of it.
 

Nanban - Ileana irked Farah Khan, song shoot without Ileana

 
 
Ileana seems to have not learnt her lessons even after going through the wrath of the Telugu film industry. The actress, who lost quite a few films with her starry airs, created troubles on the set of her forthcoming Tamil movie Nanban.


Sources say that Ileana D'Cruz refused to dance for the Tamil version of Bollwood hit song 'zoobbie doobbie…' Noted choreographer Farah Khan, who flew from Mumbai to Chennai on request of Shankar, was assigned to direct the song. However, when she asked the actress to participate in the rehearsal, Ileana complained of stomach ache.

Soon Farah Khan took her to a hospital, where the doctors said that Ileana D'Cruz is completely fine. After returning to the sets, the actress went to her vanity van and did not step out, which irked the choreographer. Hence, the song has been shot without her presence but it would only come to know when the songs of the film are released.

Nanban is a remake of Bollywood blockbuster 3 Idiots. The Tamil version features Vijay, Srikanth, Jeeva, Ileana and Sathyraj in the key roles.

Seedan released with high expectations as Dhanush played a cameo role in the film but finally the film went on to be a below average scorer as there is nothing new and fresh in the story.
Dhanush and Hansika Motwani starrer Mappillai was high on expectations as the film is the remake of Rajinikanth's super hit film Mappillai of 1989. The film got big openings but later on the film has been declared as an average scorer at the box office. The film was largely criticized by critics, who generally agreed that the film was a poor remake. Ponnar Shankar was a historical epic, based on Kalaignar Karunanidhi's work. Prashanth played dual role in the film after a long time. The special effects of the film came in for a lot of praise for their attention to detail. The film made decent collections and was declared as an average by trade pundits. Historical films frequently succeed in striking a chord with the audience, this one did as well.
Simbu starrer Vaanam was high on expectations and has settled as an above average entertainer. The film was highly praised for its ripping story, excellent screenplay and brilliant direction. Vaanam has made good collections without much publicity and turned to be an above average film. Engeyum Kadhal a breezy romantic entertainer directed by Prabhu Deva opened up with mixed reviews, and most of them felt that the film was high on production values, but lacked substance. The film had an average opening and the collections in Chennai and was declared an 'average' film by the trade pundits.
Azhagarsamiyin Kudhirai was opened to very positive reviews by the critics for its unconventional story-line and the protagonist performance. The film was praised by the critics for its innovative and interesting attempt made by director Suseenthiran. Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Aaranya Kaandam with Jackie Shroff, Sampath Raj, and Ravikrishna in the lead roles opened to strong critical acclaim. Nootrenbadhu (180) turned out to be an average as there is no impact in the plot.
Critically acclaimed Films:
Aadukalam, Yudham Sei, Vaanam, Payanam and Avan Ivan
Flops
Ilaignan, Pathinaru, Thambikottai, Aadu Puli, Singam Puli, Bhavani IPS, Muthukku Muthaaga, Kullanari Koottam, Nil Gavani Sellathey, Sattapadi Kutram, Nanjupuram, Vikadakavi, Sankarankovil, Narthagi, Kandaen, Eththan, Sabash Sariyaana Potti, Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu, Udhayan etc….
Big Flops (nearly total washouts)
Thamizh Desam, Sollitharava, Pazhagiyathe Pirivatharka, Nandhi, Varmam, Lathika, Minsaaram, Kadhal Meipada, Paasakaara Nanbargal, Aanmai Thavarael, Oru Santhippil, Shanthi Appuram Nithya, Anaagarigam, etc………
On a whole, Kollywood has tasted only five hits so far and the remaining films settled as average and above average grossers. The main reason for not having many hits is because there are not many outings from big stars like Ajith, Suriya, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay, etc….The main drawback of the failures is just because of inappropriate casting and e poor subjects handled by the film makers.
But the next half of the year will be like a roller coaster ride as many big releases of big stars are gearing up for their releases. So fasten your seat belts and grab a cup of popcorn while our movies take you on a roller coaster ride.
