Birthday boy Vijay has much riding on his slender shoulders. After the lukewarm performance of Adhi, the `Vasool Raja' amongst the younger crop is banking his hopes on Pokkiri. Keeping up with his policy of working on remakes of hits from other languages, this one from Telugu marks the entry of Prabhudeva as director of a Tamil film.

Pokkiri has a heavy weight crew. Ravishing Asin is the heroine. Nirav Shah is the cinematographer and Mani Sharma is the music director. Sreekar Prasad would be handling the editing and Pepsi Vijayan the stunts, while story, screenplay and direction is by Prabhudeva. Rameshbabu is the producer. The film is all set hit floors on July 6th, an auspicious shubha muhurat day.Vijay would have a very private birthday celebration.

But, he made sure that he put in his customary appearance for giving away welfare measures like clothes, books and notebooks to the poor and needy.Vijay's climb to success has been steady. He struggled initially despite having sound backing from his father, noted director SAC.

Yet, he worked hard to prove his mettle and today he is the numero uno when it comes to audience acceptance especially the youth. Way to go, Vijay! Happy birthday!!
