The filming of Villu is starting today following a pooja. This film has stirred the curiosity of the public for Prabhu Deva and Vijay are teaming up again; last time when Prabhu Deva directed Vijay in Pokkiri, it turned out to be a great hit.
Villu: Movie launch today
Villu is a remake of the Hindi blockbuster Soldier, which starred Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta. And it looks like Bollywood and Kollywood have entered into some kind of exchange program. While Soldier is being remade in Tamil as Villu, Pokkiri is being remade in Hindi as Wanted: Dead or Alive with Salman Khan in the lead. Well, it looks like apart from cricket, cinema also unites India.

Soldier had a storyline and elements of cinema that were perfect enough to make a Vijay movie. With Prabhu Deva and Vijay teaming up again, it will be presented in a very interesting manner like last time. The original film's story is about a young man who avenges the gruesome death of an army officer who falls prey to a conspiracy. It also showcased the relationship between a mother and her son and was built around the sentiments involved in that relationship.

Villu is being produced under the banner of Ayngaran International Films Pvt. Ltd. by K. Karunamurthy and C. Arunpandian. Nayantara will be the female lead.

Music is by Devi Sri Prasad. It is not only the director and hero of Pokkiri teaming up again, but FEFSI Vijayan, the ace stunt choreographer of Pokkiri is also teaming up with them. Ravivarman takes care of the cinematography of Villu and Kola Bhaskar takes care of the editing work.

And it looks like June 6, 2008 is an auspicious day for a lot of movies. There are about seven movies launching today. Stay on Galatta and know more about them.
