‘Velayudham’ gearing for completion

When ‘Kavalan’ was to release, there seemed to be no takers for Vijay films. The actor met with many glitches and had to face some hardships before the release of the film. All that changed post the release of ‘Kavalan’. Offers started pouring in for Vijay who seemed to accept them all with grace. Now the actor has a handful of films with top directors of the country from South India. As we all know he is doing ‘Nanban’ with director Shankar, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ with Mani Rathnam and his next release ‘Velayudham’ with director M. Raja.

‘Velayudham’ is gearing up for completion and is in its post-production stages. Vijay helms this project with Genelia and Hansika Motwani as his heroines. Like in most Vijay films this film will see Vijay with a younger sister in Saranya Mohan. Genelia will be seen as a journalist and Santhanam will supply the film with steady doses of comical interludes. M.S. Bhaskar will portray an important character in the film.

Here are some important aspects of the film just for the fans of “Ilaya Thalapathi” who are eagerly awaiting news about their hero. For one the film is about a normal man who becomes a hero, and the circumstances surrounding him and his loved ones. The camera will pan the lush greeneries of some villages in Tamil Nadu as well as the glamour of some cities in India; some songs have been shot from exotic locales in Europe.

‘Velayudham’ is produced by V. Ravichandran under the Aascar Films banner. The music for the film has been tuned by Vijay Antony. His earlier stint in Vijay starrer ‘Vettaikaran’ was a huge hit. This film too has expectations running high on the music.

Vijay spotted at Ampa mall..!(skywalk)

The third schedule for Nanban is proceeding at a brisk pace. Today the shoot was at Ampa Valley (Skywalk) Mall situated in Ponamallee High Road. Some scenes with Vijay and Ileana were shot. Vijay looked very youthful and handsome wearing cool blue jeans and a tee. Ileana looked lovely and was wearing a trendy outfit that showed off her curves to maximum advantage.

The shoot had to be held in the midst of tight security as a huge crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars. Shankar was very strict and sent crew members around to issue instructions to the crowd. Onlookers were asked not to use their cameras or video recorders.
Vijay did the scenes like the consummate professional he is and took only three takes to perfect the shot. Ileana had a little more difficulty as she struggled with her Tamil but in the end, the director was satisfied.
Harris Jayaraj is almost finished with the music and the audio will be released soon.

Jayalalitha in Velayutham’s audio launch?

If reports from Kollywood are to be believed, the AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalitha has agreed to participate in the audio launch function of Velayutham. Vijay’s father, director SA Chandrasekar had supported the AIADMK during the current elections and had campaigned for the party.

Following this, there were rumors that Jayalalitha would attend the audio launch of Sattapadi Kuttram but this did not happen as she was busy with the election campaign. With the elections out of the way now, it is expected that Jayalalitha would grace the audio launch of Velayutham. Sources also say that Velayutham’s producer Aascar Ravichandran is making arrangements for a grand event at the Nehru Indoor Stadium.
