Vijay's next projects: Hopeful heroines and producers

Looks like Vijay fans can expect promising outcome from their star in the days to come if the projects that are queued up for his consent are anything to go by. Though Vijay is currently busy and is working two shifts a day for his Pokkiri, which brings Prabhudeva's talent as a director to Tamil Nadu, he constantly receives offers that are irresistible from bigwigs in the industry for bagging his dates.

Perarasu recently joined the list of Vijay date-seekers. He recently announced that his next movie – after the Diwali disaster Dharmapuri – would be with Vijay. He has had a couple of hits with Vijay namely Thiruppachi and Sivakasi. The movies were well received at the box office, which we assume had given him hopes to hunt for Vijay's dates.

Progressing Pokkiri

Pokkiri, with Asin in the lead, is on the verge of completion. The shoots are being carried out at top gear and opinion differences between the director Prabhudeva and Vijay seemed to have eased out. The crew is all set to pull off a blockbuster just the way the movie did in Telugu. Pokkiri is likely to be released by the end of 2006 or during the beginning of 2007. Though these are only unsubstantiated reports, only an official announcement will set things right.

Azhagiya Tamil Magan

To comply with an old promise, Vijay took up Azhagiya Tamil Magan produced by Appachan, which will kick off right after Pokkiri. If you may remember our earlier reports, Appachan, noted producer in Mollywood requested for Vijay's dates when the hit movie Friends – which in turn was a Malayalam remake produced by Appachan himself – was being made. The movie will have Sivaji Shreya in the lead and will be directed by Bharathan, an associate of Dharani. Rahman scores music for the second time for a Vijay flick after Udhaya.

AVM Balasubramanian' s project

Recent reports suggest that Vijay will star in the production venture of AVM Balasubramanian from the AVM family who parted ways with the studios. Dharani will direct the as yet untitled movie and the director's choice Vidya Sagar will score music for the movie. As reported by us earlier, Trisha leads the race of heroines for this movie followed by Asin.

Perarasu's position in the list

It is learnt that the Perarasu movie will take off only after Vijay's commitment with the above said movies are over. Perarasu assured that the movie would comply with all the commercial values of Tamil cinema and will be an end-to-end entertainer. The movie will be produced by Ayangaran International that holds the overseas rights for many hit movies. Perarasu has singled out his lucky mascot Srikanth Deva to score music.

With that it is concurred that Vijay will be busy till the end of 2008. The star may definitely need a sabbatical after the completion of all these movies to rejuvenate his energy and revitalize himself.
