‘Ilaya Thalapathy’ Vijay is busy shooting for ‘Villu’. The movie, directed by Prabhudeva and produced by Ayngaran Films International, kicked off in Karaikudi recently.

A number of scenes featuring Vijay and Nayantara were shot in Karaikudi. And now the buzz is that the crew would shoot a major portion of the film in Italy. The script involves a foreign country in the second half and so the crew will be heading for Italy this July.

Sources close to Prabhu Deva reveal that he has also planned to shoot two song sequences in exotic Italy.

It sure would be interesting to see Vijay chasing and hunting down the baddies in this European country. Nayantara sizzled with her attitude and attractive modern costumes in ‘Billa’ and the movie was set in Malaysia. So, foreign destinations suit her big time and with Nayantara on song now, one can expect Prabhu Deva to exploit her talents.

Vijay and Nayantara on the prowl in Italy….sounds interesting.

During the audio launch of Muniyandi Moondraam Aandu Vilangiyal, Vairamuthu was speaking against the culture of Kuththu dance in Kollywood cinemas.

When Vijay spoke after Vairamuthu in the function, he said he has a very special place for those Kuththu dances and he love the song Sticker Vatcha Ponnu in the movie.

This has angered and upset Vairamuthu.  Vairamuthu is airing his anger among his friends circle.  As Vairam has lots of friends, Vijay is also feeling the heat of Vairam’s anger.

According to Vijay, a man will enjoy a theme while the other will oppose it and its a universal theory.  Vijay is now straight away ridiculing Vairam and its for sure that the war between them will reach Himalayan peak and we will get lots of news in coming days!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay plans to celebrate his 35th birthday in style on Sunday, June 22.

After visiting his favourite orphanages and also donating materials to the poor and needy, he will be officially launching his fan flag.

Vijay becomes the fourth Tamil actor in recent times after Rajinikanth, Vijaykanth and Sarath Kumar to have his own flag for his fan club- Akhila India Vijay Rasigar Narpani Mandiram (AIVRNM).

If Rajini’s flag had light blue, white and red with the superstar’s image imprinted in a star in it, Vijay’s is also said to be similar with his face embossed on it. It also clearly proves that the star nurses political ambitions.

The big bash is taking place at the University of Madras, Centenary Hall at 4.30 PM and entry is by invitation only. Vijay after unveiling his party flag, will announce other welfare activities that his fan club will undertake.

Director Dharani’s earlier project Ghilli with Vijay and Trisha was a blockbuster victory that had set some kind of fast paced mood, tempo and expectations about this duo in the minds of their fans. They entered the theatre this evening eagerly to catch this maiden production venture of Udhaynidhi Stalin’s Red Giants Movies - produced Kuruvi. The secrecy shrouding the story of the film had also helped in escalating its anticipations to a barometric high.

Producer Udhaynidhi has spent generously which is perceptible in the lavish sets, colorful junior artists, graphics etc. Dharani’s favorite music composer Vidyasagar’s tunes are already a hit and the melodious ‘then then’ number is a revelation, both visually and acoustically. Trisha is at her glamorous best. Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman

do not have meaty enough roles to prove their mettle. Camera work and editing is slick. Vivek, who accompanies Vijay, provides occasional comic relief.

If you go to see Kuruvi with lowered expectations, you may end up liking it. But those who are looking for big build-up sequences and large Ghilli-like payoffs - stay away.

Kuruvi - Mega Hit Movie

Vijayakanth launched a flag for his fans association even before he entered politics. Vijay is reportedly going Vijayakanth’s way now.

As part of his birthday celebrations in Chennai on 22 June, Vijay will launch a flag for his fans association. Vijay, who is currently shooting in Karaikudi, will make a trip to Chennai to take part in his birthday celebrations.

A grand function is being organized in Chennai and the numero uno among young heroes Vijay will unveil the flag.

Does this mean the actor would also enter politics in the future? ‘It’s too early to say’, said an avid Vijay fan.

‘He is a mass hero and is admired everywhere. Obviously a flag for his fans association will bind his fans together’, he said.

Vijay’s Villu has geared up to be shot at and the crew is very enthusiastic just like their hero and the director. After the box office hit of Pokkiri, India’s Michael Jackson and Ilaya Thalapathy has teamed up once again and their magic is sure to work on the audience. One more addition o this team is Kollywood’s hot property Nayanthara who is being paired up with Vijay for the first time. The film is touted to be a commercial one with all the necessary ingredients of an entertainer. Though no official story line was divulged, some of the guesses go as follows.

An honest officer gets killed by a team of desperadoes and his wife and son alone escape this dastardly act. The unsuspecting son grows up thinking that his dad had a natural death. However when he comes to know the truth from one of his dad’s friends, he is up in arms with the system and starts his mission of avenging his dad’s death. On this trail, he meets his love Nayan who happens to be the daughter of one of the baddies. Will he succeed in his mission and love forms the plot of the film.

Stories like these are bound to make its round till official announcement comes. Behindwoods will keep you posted on it.

Villu’ the first ever film to unite Vijay and Nayantara is progressing at a rapid pace. There is a talk that this is a remake of the Hindi film ‘Soldier’.  Only director Prabhudeva or Vijay had to confirm it?  They are mum.  And even without an inauguration function they have taken up shooting.

There was a day’s shooting in Chennai before that. Prabhudeva shot Vijay dancing among dancing girls.  But Nayantara was missing.Some scenes for ‘Villu’ are planned to be shot in Pazhani.  For that both Nayantara and  Vijay would be staying in Pazhani for about 10 days.  The first schedule was shot in Pollachi region.  Going by Prabhudeva’s speed, the unit people say that the film may be released before Deepavali.
