Vijay usually announces his next film when shooting for the current one. The habit missed during 'Aathi' is revived now with 'Pokkiri.'

'Bommarillu' featuring Siddarth, Genelia, Prakashraj and Sudeep is breaking records in Andhra. Directed by Bhaskar from Salem, the success of this film has everyone fighting for Tamil re-make rights.

In the competition between editor Mohan, AM Rathnam and K Bhagyaraj, the winner turns out to be Appachan. Even from 'Friends,' he gave Vijay advance and is waiting for his call sheet. Vijay consented to have him produce 'Puli,' but that film unfortunately got shelved.

Now it is reported that Vijay will be the star of the re-make of 'Bommarillu.' Vijay has been doing a string of action films and this film will show him in a different genre like 'Kaadhalukku Mariyadhai.' The reason is the story.

The hero is a young man who has an abundance of everything. His father decides what is good or bad for him. He chooses a girl for his son, who however falls in love with another girl. Now the guy faces many challenges to make the girl fall for him, to make his father accept their love, to make the girl's parents give their consent and finally to break the first betrothal.

These interesting knots have made the film a success. Prakashraj and Siddarth play father and son and Genelia is the girl Siddarth falls in love with.

Kollywood is convinced the Tamil version of 'Bommarillu' could well be Vijay's next film!
