The Neyveli Court has ordered an arrest warrant against Vijay, comedian Bhaskar and A M Rathnam, the producer of Sivakasi, for allegedly denigrating lawyers and showing them in a negative light in the movie.
Kalaimani of Neyveli had filed a case against them and the first hearing came on 18th January and summons was issued against Vijay and others. However, citing hectic shooting schedule, they could not attend the hearing.
When they were absent again at the next hearing, that is, on the 28th of March, the court has taken this decision. Everyone is curious to find out what would be the next move of the people concerned.

Ilaya Dalapathy to race with Rajini and Kamal
Cinesouth.com
- 24.03.2006
Once you set out to hunt, you might as well tackle the big game, is what Ilaya Dalapathy has in mind. When a Rajini film gets released, everybody will run away, like a lizard faced with a dinosaur, but Vijay is different.
Last April-14, the 2 films `Chandramukhi' and `Mumbai Xpress' of the 2 super heroes Rajinikanth and Kamalahasan were released. What chance does tin have when faced with iron might, so the other films stood aside. But Ilaya Dalapathy went ahead and released his `Sachein.' Even after the film bombed, he did not lose heart.
For coming Deepavali, Rajini's `Sivaji' and Kamal's `Dasavataram' are getting released. The third phase of shooting for `Sivaji' is already complete, while shooting for `Dasavataram' is yet to begin. But Kodambakkam is well aware of the speed with which K S Ravikumar works. The `Dasvataram' schedule will be packed into a 3 months schedule.
Along with Superstar and Superactor, Vijay plans to put in his appearance and release his `Murasu' directed by Muthu Vadugu. In `Murasu' Vijay plans to set right the errors that made `Sachein' flop. Kamal missed the `Mumbai Xpress' and he plans to catch up with `Dasavataram.' Between the two is a relaxed Rajini.
Who will triumph? The 10 Kamals, the brave Sivaji, or Dalapathy's Murasu? The race for Deepavali is already heating up!
Srini's note: There is no heating up as mentioned here. Sivaji and Dasavatharam are most probably set to release for Pongal 2007 or later.

Vijay takes it easy

After Aathi, Vijay is yet to commence shooting for his next. In his career spanning nearly a decade, it is a rare occasion when the actor has kept himself away from shooting for over a couple of months. He was tipped to commence Puli for S J Suryah, but it was reportedly shelved.
Meanwhile it was said that his next movie would be Murasu to be directed by debutant Muthuvadugu. Rumors have it that even this movie is a non-starter likely.
Asked why such a big gap, Vijay says, 'it is self-imposed. I wanted to take a break and spend some time with my family. I needed time to spend with my wife, my son Sanjay. I am spending my time purposefully.'I thank God for my films had so far witnessed good run and helped the producers, distributors and the exhibitors make some money.' Vijay said and added, 'I would continue to play the mass hero in my forthcoming films. It is something spontaneous and natural.'

Vijay in tamil Bangaram?
Updated: 03-20-2006
By andhracafe
At the audio release of the AM Ratnam-Dharani film Bangaram, tamil star Vijay's presence lent credence to rumours that the actor would be acting in the tamil version of Pawan Kalyan starrer Bangaram.
All the films produced by AM Ratnam with Vijay as the hero in tamil were great hits.So the producer is remaking all the hit telugu films into tamil too. So one thought it was obvious that if Bangaram becomes a hit, Vijay would be roped in to play in the tamil version.
If you remember the Dharani directed Gilli which was a remake of the telugu Okkadu was a huge hit in Vijay's career. So while such talk goes on, none can stop the rumours.

Vijay's new film - gigantic set being made
17.03.2006
"I am not an elephant, but only a horse. So even if I slip, I can get up fast." Vijay has not expressed such a challenge in Rajini style. But he is taking steps for his next film with great conviction.
The film `Murasu' is being launched by director Muthu Vadugu, the brother of director Perarasu. Perarasu is writing the story, screen play, dialogues and songs and he is also directing this film.
People say that this film is a balanced blend of sentiment and commercialism. A giant set is being prepared near Prasad Lab at the same place where `Poovellam un Vasam' was shot. A large township is being built here. More than 1000 artisans were engaged to build it in one month time.
The very façade is so impressive, that news about `Murasu' spread in all directions. In the race between Trisha and Asin to act in this film, Asin was the one who won it. Asin is acting as a pair to Vijay.
It is learnt that the exhibitors who created problem for the film `Aathi' will not be given the film `Murasu'. It is also learnt that Vijay himself has sent this strict instruction.

Vijay at Hyderabad - Telugu fans happy
To Vijay's Telugu fans, it was a surprising and happy event—Vijay attending the audio-cassette release function of Dharani's Bangaram, the Power-star Pawan Kalyan starrer. Even Pawan Kalyan's fans cheered as Vijay walked up to the stage.
The function was held yesterday at Sunetra School for the blind at Hyderabad. Present on the occasion were hero Pawan Kalyan, producer A M Rathnam, Music Director Vidyhasagar, Director Dharani and Trisha. Trisha was looking sleek in her pink tops and knee length skirt.
Vijay was looking stunning though a bit indrawn in his dark grey pants and light blue shirt. Speaking on the occasion, Pawan Kalyan said that he was an ardent and keen watcher of Vijay's flicks. Has Vijay changed a lot these days? Of course, he has.
He is no longer the guy who kept aloof, away from cinema functions or fan club meetings. The guy has opened up and this means a lot. Don't write off this guy just because he has given one mediocre movie, Aathi. One can't just predict the pulse of the moviegoer. As far as fan base is concerned, Vijay has the biggest, perhaps, next to the Superstar's. They swear by his name and movies.
Vijay delighted everyone at the function by speaking in Telugu: "I'm a great fan of Pawan Kalyan. I like his style of comedy and also his stunts. I don't miss his movies. I hope that Bangaram will be a big hit." There was a huge applause as he said this. Vijay too is as much a familiar face in Andhra as Surya or Vikram are.
And certainly this visit to Andhra must have increased his popularity rate down there. Though not working in any movie right now, the guy is gearing up for a great hit. He knows that he has the stuff to deliver. Only that he is looking for a great combination of an original story and a hit director.
Guys, prepare yourselves for another mega-hit from this talented hero.

Directors who washed their hands off Ilaya Dalapathi
- 16.03.2006
"Life is a circle. The defeated will win, the winner will be defeated,"is a dialogue that Vijay spoke in one of his films. The second half seems to be coming true in Ilaya Dalapathi's case.
The blow 'Aathi' gave made Vijay sit up. He sent a message through hisfather to directors like Dharani and A R Murugadoss, but they remained unshaken. There has been talk of Vijay being the next superstar, so what is the reason for these directors to remain unmoved? On doing a little snooping, here's what we found out.
When 'Thirupachi' and 'Sivakasi' became hits, Vijay went around telling the world that director Perarasu was the commercial king of Tamil cinema. This angered Dharani. "Does that mean 'Gilli' was not a good commercial film? So I'm not a good director of commercial cinema?" he said wrathfully.To add insult to injury, every time they met at public functions,Vijay's father always told Dharani that he kept Dharani in mind fortheir next venture. At this time 'Aathi' was released and crashed at the box office.
Very badly in need of a hit, SAC has sent messages across toDharani but received no great response. So Vijay himself telephoned Dharani and said they should meet. Dharani once again gave the slip that he was busy and their meeting would have to take place later. Since nothing happened on the phone, Vijay went straight away to Hyderabad and spoke to Dharani on the sets of'Bangaram.'
There is no clear outcome of the meeting if Dharani would consider teaming up with Vijay.When Dharani did not give a commitment, Vijay telephoned A R Murugadoss.Since theatre owners have shown a red card to Vijay's films, Murugadoss gave the slip saying he would discuss later. Following this, SA Chandrasekharan has spoken to Selvaraghavan. It is said he also excused himself because he was making an English film.
Since 3 directors have washed their hands off him, Vijay can now depend only on director Perarasu to bail him out.

Police cut short Vijay’s charity gesture
The timing was bad, Vijay's going to Pondicherry to distribute sewing machines and other gadgets to the needy, an even organized by his Fan Clubs Association.
As the Ilaya Thalapthi entered, his fans welcomed his with goshams, banners and festoons. Machines were already arranged and kept in order for distribution. However, as Vijay started distributing them, the police swooped on the organizers and stopped the distribution. It's against law as the code of conduct of the elections had come into effect.
Vijay was no contestant in the elections but everyone knows that he has an inclination against a certain party. Was this the reason the police descended there at the distribution event?
Vijay had no qualms, he smiled, acknowledged the action of police, waved to his fans and wished them all the best and left.

A hero's welcome for "Ilaya Thalapathi"
Deepa H Ramakrishnan
Vijay thanks his fans for their support to his films
Pondicherry: It was a lightning visit but still his frenzied fans waved and shouted with great joy at the mere sight of their hero. The star of "Sivakasi", "Thirupachi" and "Aadhi" and the hero of 465 fan clubs in Pondicherry, "Ilaya Thalapathi" Vijay spoke but a few words on Sunday evening at the Anna Thidal and that gave a tough time for policemen managing the crowd at the venue. The huge crowd tried to jump over chairs and barricades to have a closer glimpse of their super star.
Clad in an orange striped top and black trousers, Vijay clambered up the stairs to the dais with a spring in his walk and smiled and waved to the fans. Vijay was here to distribute assistance, including a boat, a tricycle and also to celebrate the birthday of orphaned children. But he couldn't do so due to "certain reasons".
In his short speech, Vijay thanked his fans for their support to his films. Before coming to Pondicherry, Vijay opened a bus shelter in Padhirikuppam in Cuddalore, which was installed on behalf of a Vijay Rasigar Mandram there. "We couldn't distribute the aids because the elections are just round the corner and it would seem inappropriate at this time. But we will be giving them away after the elections", said Bussy Anand, president of the Pondicherry State Vijay Fan Clubs Association.
"Even during the tsunami the fan clubs extended all the help they could. Vijay was here in Pondicherry and he gave away 23 boats and nets. We had also constructed some temporary shelters for those affected in the tsunami", he added.

It’s all just to have a glimpse of Vijay
March 15, 2006
www.behindwoods.com
Actor Vijay's fans have built a bus shelter costing about one lakh rupees at Pathirikuppam near Cuddalore. Vijay came yesterday evening to inaugurate it. Ever since news leaked that Vijay would be coming there, crowds gathered to have a glimpse of the actor.
Both Ilaya Thalapathi fans and public were eagerly waiting to see him. The situation became unmanageable when Vijay arrived at the spot. After seeing Vijay's car, the mob surrounded it with chorus of Ilaya Thalapathi Vaazga, Ezhai Thozhan Vijay Vaazgha.
Vijay couldn't get out of his car since the crowd almost surrounded him and he had to wait in the car itself for more than 10 minutes. Finally, police came and tried to disperse the crowd. But it turned futile. Police had no option but to lathi charge the crowd.
Vijay got out of the car. People who were waiting for long were deeply disappointed since Ilaya Thalapathy spoke only a few words thanking the fan club and public for doing such good work for the benefit of the public.
Vijay opened the bus shelter and just whizzed away.

Vijay's record of 75 days!
09.03.2006
In his film career, Vijay has never seen such a long intermission. It is about fifty days since 'Aathi' got released, but Ilaya Dalapathy is yet to announce his next film. For the past few years, Vijay has always made a film every 3 months. Last year end, he did not wait for the 3 months to end.
Shortly after release of 'Sivakasi,' 'Aathi' also got released. He's reaping the result of that mistake, gossip industry insiders. On his part, Vijay had wanted a Feb or March release for 'Aathi' but theatre owners and distributors compelled producer S A Chandrasekhar to agree to a Pongal release. They must have been in a hurry to reap the Pongal profits.
So, when 'Aathi' was released on Jan 15th, the haste of the release and the sub-standard nature of the film made the film a box office disaster, with the result that theatre owners protested that SAC should compensate them for the loss. Having always given hits, Vijay takes this disaster as a loss of face. To add to the insult, there are lots of jokes being made about Vijay and 'Aathi' through sms. Rajini faced similar problems when his 'Baba' flopped. Like guru, like shishya!
'Chandramukhi' put Rajini right on top again and Vijay is looking for one such film that will resurrect his shredded reputation.Once the film 'Puli' under S J Suryah's direction did not take off, it was announced that Vijay would do 'Murasu' directed by Perarasu's brother Muthu Vadugu. Sources close to Vijay say he is not happy with the story and has asked for changes. It is more than 75 days since Vijay reported for a shooting.
Such a long gap has never happened in the past 10 years. What a fate for a star, who is most successful next to Rajini only in collection.Like him, Vikram is resting for the past 125 days. Even after deciding that his next project is 'Bhima' directed by Lingusamy, he is yet to report for shooting. The reason is he's not yet fully satisfied with the story of 'Bhima.'
Looks like director Priyadarshan was right when he spoke of a famine of good stories in Tamil cinema!

Vijay gives in
IndiaGlitz
[Tuesday, March 07, 2006]
Buzz is that actor Vijay's father and producer of Aathi, S A Chadrasekharan has decided to compensate the losses suffered by the movie halls by releasing the film in their theatres.It may be recalled that the theatre owners had screened the movie paying a huge sum. Unfortunately the movie slated for Pongal release was delayed by a day resulting huge losses for them.
Initial attempts by the theatre owners to contact S A Chandrasekharan to get their loss compensated failed. Hence they issued a red card on Vijay and decided not to release his movies in future until the issue is sorted out.It is now learnt from reliable sources that Chandrasekharan has decided to bear the loss.
Sources close to the Tamilnadu Exhibitor Association said the details of the money to be paid back by SAC would be arrived at very soon.

Where is the story?

By Moviebuzz Monday, 06 March , 2006, 17:11
All the top young heroes of Kollywood are facing deep career crisis. They have not shot for the last few weeks and the pressure is mounting on them to start work and there by remain at the top. Vijay has not faced the camera for the last 75 days ever since Aadi was completed, something he has never done for the past 10 years! His Puli got scrapped and Murasu is still in fluid state.
Vikram has not started work on his A.M.Ratnam produced Lingusamy directed Bheema. The actor has been away from the arc lights for the last 125 days! Surya has only Jillendru Oru Kathal for which he is shooting but has not signed any new film. After the super success of Ghajini, actress Asin is sitting at home for the past 150 days. The only film that she has for release is the long delayed Godfather. She is busier with commercials than films these days!
Asked an actor: "Where are the stories? I am not interested in doing the same kind of characters that are done in the past. Audiences have become too smart and they will not accept a film unless there is some new twist in the story and the presentation should be good". Adds a leading hero: "Isn't it better to sit at home and spend time with your family than doing mindless films and ending up with egg on your face?"
Suddenly all leading actors have decided to go slow. It looks like Vijay will have only one release this year while Vikram's Bheema may be his solo release. Asin will have to be contended with only Godfather this year compared to five releases in 2005. Vijay it seems is not happy with the script of Muthuvadigu's Murasu and has asked him to rewrite it. Meanwhile, the actor has already listened to stories from six directors but is still unhappy.
Vikram's discussions with director Lingusamy continues while Asin is yet to sign on the dotted line for any new film. Due to lack of new stories top heroes are all taking it easy. They are also plainly refusing to do remakes from other languages as they have all proved to be damp squibs.

Lawrence tries to catch Vijay
Lawrence tries to catch Vijay
- 04.03.2006
Lawrence is trying very hard to get Vijay to act in his film.It is a long time since his film "Mass", was dubbed for release in Tamil. Re-titled as "Veeran", the film is still in the cans due to financial problems.In the meantime, Lawrence is busy with bringing his film "Style"to the Tamil audience.
Nagarjuna makes a guest appearance in a fightscene involving Lawrence and Prabhu Deva. In Lawrence's opinion, if Vijay does Nagarjuna's role in the Tamil version, the film might appeal more to the public. The ex-dance master is already setting his plan into motion.
He would have definitely danced in the film "Thirumalai" which was a turning point for Vijay. So he is confident that Vijay would reciprocate by acting in this film."Style" has been titled "Latchyam" in Tamil and like itstitle it is an ambitious project. Having been rejected as an actor by the film industry, Lawrence is determined to prove his worth as an actor in this film.
"Style" has fulfilled this ambition by being a super hit in Andhra. Lawrence wants to reap that success in Tamilnadu also. Lawrence has added a comedy track to appeal to the Tamil audience. If Vijay consents, the film should hit the screens on April 14th.
So Vijay's fans can look forward to the consolation appearance forthe Tamil New Year!
