Kuruvi is flying high! This film’s shooting is progressing at a rapid pace and the latest report is that Dharani, Vijay, Trisha and the rest of the Kuruvi team have taken off to Malaysia to can a song sequence. The song will supposedly be a high point of the movie. Looks like Tamil Nadu is not the only place that has people excited about Kuruvi, for the Malaysian government has also extended near unconditional support to the Kuruvi team for shooting.

Sources say that the team has access to areas that had been considered out of bounds for shootings and other such activities. Malaysia is certainly doing everything to promote itself as a friendly destination for the film industry to capture some scenic locations. They had earlier given similar support to the 2006 Hindi blockbuster Krish.

Moving on to other news about Kuruvi, reliable sources have given a brief but exciting insight into the plot of Kuruvi and from what we have heard it is going to be a thrill-a-minute ride for all of us. Here is what we got to know about the Kuruvi story.

Vijay plays a courier delivery guy in Kuruvi. The courier is being used as a safe transit route for many illegal substances like narcotics by a smuggling gang and Vijay and the rest of the courier firm is unaware of this. Fate lands Vijay, carrying one such parcel with smuggled goods, in jail. How he extricates himself from this mess and manages to bring the gang, headed by a respected name in the society, to the fore is being told in this thrill-a-minute chase story.

Suman, who epitomized the ‘all white’ clad villain in Sivaji is back doing the familiar role yet again, flashing the ‘Close Up’ smile and running an empire of crime. The story is said to be full of adventurous escapades of Vijay from the police, engaging chases and a race against time to prove his innocence and capturing the gang red-handed. A plot that is reminiscent of the breakneck chase sequence that was the highlight of his earlier film Ghilli.

The Ghilli team looks good enough to create a repeat of 2004 when Tamil New Year became a great celebration for all Ilaya Thalapathi fans. Hope they can pull it off this time too.
