IndiaGlitz
[Thursday, November 16, 2006]

After setting the screen on storm with Ghilli, the trio of Vijay, Trisha and Dharani will be back late next year.

Director Dharani, who came out with Ghilli (a remake of the Telugu hit Okkadu) starring Vijay and Trisha ventured to do the Telugu movie, Bangaram. Director Dharani, after this short stint at Tollywood, is back in Tamil.

Sources say that Dharani has approached Vijay with a script and the latter, impressed with the narration, has accepted to do the movie. Also plans are on to cast Trisha opposite Vijay.

Vijay has his hands full now. After completing his Pokiri, the actor would do a movie titled Azhagiya Thamizh Magan for producer Appachan.

Sivaji fame Shreya plays the heroine.

Also plans are on to do a movie for AVM Balasubramaniam. On completing both the movies, Vijay is expected to commence shooting for Dharani's film.

Praising Surya, shy Vijay...

Here is the news released in Tamil Murasu dated 15th Nov 2006.

While studying in college Vijay and Surya were good friends. Due to their good relationship they have acted in Nerukku Ner and Friends. Later they didn't act togather. Vijay was talking to Surya who sat near him during the audio launch of Karthi's Paruthiveeran which is directed by Ameer. Vijay and Surya said they didn't share talks for a long time due to their busy shooting schedules.

When Surya spoke, he said "I have learnt lots of things from my friend Vijay. Vijay used to always say that... Mathavangalukku theengu seiyum oru chinna punnagai-ai vide, Mathavangalukku theengu seiyatha amaithi evvalavo mel (Silence that doesn't disturb others is far better than a small smile that could hurt others). That words are inspiration for me. I still practising his words" said Surya. Vijay's face was shy when Surya said so.

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.

Pokkiri
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.
Vijay
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.
Vijay
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.

Rajni in Vijay’s office

Behindwoods.com
Nov 14, 2006

Generally, an office is said to portray or reflect the character or personality of its inhabitants. People tend to view this in diverse fashion.

But in Kollywood, which is the dream factory for many people, an office of an actor would generally adhere to a standard norm of displaying the trophies won, stills of super hit films or pictures of their childhood or their families.
Vijay
In short the office would directly indicate the attitude of the person concerned. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules regarding this.

But the office of Ilayathalapathy Vijay sports a totally different look in terms of the contents displayed.

In addition to his shields and the usual paraphernalia, there are some recent additions. The walls of his office are adorned with pictures of Superstar Rajnikanth and Vijay shot together during many filmi festivals and occasions. It is indeed a different sight not to be missed when one visits Vijay’s office.

Vijay’s rival in dance

In Indian films, whether it is Kollywood or Bollywood or Mollywood, dances are an integral part which the film makers cannot do without. These days many of the aspiring actors make it a point to enroll themselves in dancing school not only to learn different techniques in dancing but also to perfect their style.

Vijay
In our films the dance sequences are shot in a beautiful manner to go along with the accompanying songs.

In Kollywood, the very mention of dance reminds us of Ilayathalapathy Vijay. He is known for his dancing skills and the graceful movements that go with it. But there is somebody who just imitates his dance movements to the core. It is none other than his son Sanjay who is awed by his dad’s gyrating skills. When songs from Vijay’s films are shown on TV, he immediately waltzes just like his dad.

So, a competitor is already born and that too in the same family. Needless to say, the proud father is watching his son with a lot of pride in his eyes.

Heroines twitchy over Dharani & Vijay combination

Behindwoods.com
Nov 10, 2006

AVM Balasubramaniam, who parted ways with the AVM family had decided to produce a movie on his own. He has approached Vijay in the process who in turn declined the offer blaming his commitments.

Vijay

Following this, Balasubramaniam considered signing Vishal for his venture. In the meantime –God knows what happened between – Vijay freed himself from his commitments and promised dates for the movie.

The as yet untitled movie, which will be directed by Dharani, will kick off after Azhagiya Tamil Magan. While Vijay is busy shooting for his Pokkiri, Dharani and his team are busy finalizing the cast and the rest of the members of the crew. Now that the movie is on the verge of official commencement, heroine hunt is at a fast pace.

Heard that Trisha, Asin, Bhavana, and Nayantara are the pretty contenders for the hot seat. Shreya is blissfully contented with the offer for Azhagiya Tamil Magan. It is reported that Trisha, who item numbered for Dharani’s Telugu film Bangaram upon his promise to star her in his next Tamil venture, is leading the race.

News is expected soon as to who will be the lucky damsel.

Prabhudeva slams rumors of tussle with Vijay

Behindwoods.com
Nov 09, 2006

He was the yesterday's promising star who decided to confine himself behind the cameras. Surprisingly, his directorial talents surpassed his acting excellence pulling off hits after hits at the box office. You guessed it right, we are talking about Prabhudeva. Ever since his Pokkiri with Vijay in the lead started rolling, rumors too started to do rounds about his alleged disagreement with Vijay.

Pokkiri

Prabhudeva, however, feels funny to read the gossip columns published in tabloids about his reported fall out with Vijay. It has been reported that Prabhudeva's late arrival to the sets chagrined Vijay.

But Prabhudeva has another account. We are happy to be associated with each other, he declared. Vijay has tremendous potential and our Pokkiri will definitely prove to be a monstrous hit as it was in Telugu, Prabudeva added. I welcome criticism only when it strikes a positive chord.

It is my nature to shrug off the negative criticism and concentrate on my work to move forward, he asserted. We are getting along well and have tremendous rapport, Prabhu confessed.

Whatever, we will be happy to see our bone-flexing dancer dude in a director's robe first time in Telugu. On that subject, Pokkiri is progressing in top gear and is slated for an early 2007 release.

Prabhu Deva is poised

IndiaGlitz
[Thursday, November 09, 2006]

Rumors of a 'cold war' between director Prabhu Deva and actor Vijay in the sets of Pokiri were rampant not long ago.

However Prabhu Deva has put an end to all gossip, denying any difference of opinion between them.

Addressing media person in Hyderabad, Prabhu Deva, heaping laurels on Vijay, said, 'He is a good actor to work with. His dedication and commitment deserve a special mention'.

He denied reports that appeared in some sections of the press that he turned up late for shooting and often quarreled with the actor over shooting a sequence.

'They are baseless reports. We have been striving hard to come out with a real entertainer. Such rumors will not deter us from achieving our mission'.

Pokiri starring Vijay and Asin is a remake of a Telugu film titled the same.

It is expected to hit the screens this Pongal.

Pokiri, interestingly, also has a special dance sequence featuring Vijay and Prabhu Deva.

This should be great feast for the fans.

Vijay's sequence with Lawrence Raghavendra in Thirumalai was outstanding.

Now Pokiri can be expected to better that.

Vijay to turn director soon?

Behindwoods
Nov 07, 2006

Vijay

We had told in our website some time back that Vijay loves to watch a lot of old films in his home theatre. In fact, whenever he can grab some free time from his tiring schedule, he de-stresses himself by watching a lot of old movies.

His favorites in Tamil include films of Sivaji, M.G.R., Rajni and Kamalhassan. He has been watching Rajni’s Payum Puli, Kamal’s Sakala Kala Vallavan, M.G.R’s Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban, Kudiyirunda Kovil and Sivaji’s Deiva Magan etc. Vijay is not satisfied just by watching these films once. He repeatedly sees these movies.

He also makes note of the salient features of these films which have rendered them a great hit. He observes with an experienced eye of a critic the entertainment values of the films that make it stand out from the rest of the crowd.

He does not fail to analyze the fact about the way these films have catered to the audience. The way things are going, the days are not far off when Vijay would be calling the shots as director.

Vijay Special - Old Wine in New Bottle


Animation courtey: vijayonline@yahoogroups.com
Vijay

Joseph Vijay was born to a beautiful, happily married couple S. A. Chandrasekharan and Shoba Chandrasekharan on 22nd June 1974.

"The fans have now christened me as Ilayathalapthy. I was not a prodigy or a genius in academics who left my studies to pursue acting. I was just an average school kid who had a great passion for acting in films. When I told my folks about what I wanted to do for my living, there was a small storm at home and they were kind of taken aback. But finally they gave me the permission to discontinue my Bachelors Degree of Visual Communications at Loyola College and pursue acting in films."

"I entered the industry without any struggle. Otherwise I would have had to approach several companies and scout for opportunities. Having a father as a Director and a writer-cum-producer -cum director as a mother made my entry into films made life easy for me. Finally I made my debut into the industry in 1992."

"From their I went on do films, some of them were block busters, some of them were the opposite if it. But then there is no such perfect success formula for making the perfect movie."

"And then I met the love of my life Sangeetha, now my wife, we got married in August 1999, we have also been blessed with a son. There is pretty much nothing to say about myself."

"I am basically an introvert. Still just an ordinary guy who spends time with my friends Sajai, Srinath, Sanjeev, Manoj and Ramkumar. And about my favorites nothing much to say there either, my tourist spot being London and Los Angeles."

"I love non vegetarian food and I am comfortable in Jeans and T-Shirt. Last but not the least I am a strong believer in the Almighty and I believe I have been guided"

Vijay and AVM to come together

Behindwoods
Nov 04, 2006

The reputed A V M films have been approaching Vijay to feature in a film produced by them. Vijay was also very keen about this. But as his diary is filled with many commitments running for a long period, he was not able to fulfill this.

Vijay's film with AVM has been continuously getting postponed due to his other commitments. But as they say, when the right time comes, everything will fall into place automatically. This time has indeed arrived.

As per the latest buzz, Vijay will be doing a film with AVM shortly. Talks are going on to finalize this agreement. It sure would be an interesting combination when Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay and AVM films come together for a film. AVM is renowned for their films on family and value themes while Vijay is popular for action cum romantic roles.

When these two contrasting forces unite in a joint venture, the screen is bound to spark. Meanwhile AVM has also planned to rope in Vishal for another project.

Vijay’s Puli to kick off again?

S.J. Surya, for a change, decided to don the role of a director and stay behind the camera for his Puli. This was long time ago and he even approached Vijay with the script, eager to repeat the Kushi history. However, for reasons unknown the project was shelved and Vijay is now busy shooting for his Pokkiri.

In the meantime, S.J. Surya also got busy with his Vyabari and Tirumagan, which made his almost forget about the script of Puli. But we assume he had a thought in the back of his mind though.

He seems not to be happy in leaving a good script stay idle. Guess what? He decided to do the movie himself and star in the same. Not to worry folks, the movie will only take off after the releases of Vyabari and Tirumagan. So, we do have time to relax before he hit us with another Puli. What say?

Pokkiri Songs - Sure to rock the charts

Vijay's fans who are eagerly awaiting the audio release and movie release of the upcoming blockbuster 'Pokkiri' are surely in for a mega treat as the music of Pokkiri is shaping out extremely well. Here we take you for a ride into the movie's musical score handled by Manisharma, the guy behind the famous 'Aal Thotta Bhoopathy' from Vijay's Youth.

Prabudeva had the visuals of all the situations for the songs ready and has accquired the 6 tunes from Manisharma based on them. Each song is different in its own sense and would definitely be liked by Vijay's fans when the audio releases and will surely grasp the audio market

All the tunes from the movie are going to be fresh ones, and no tunes from the original version are going to be used for the Tamil version.

The opening song of Pokkiri is going to rock the theatres and would definitely send Vijay's fans into a frenzy just like Vijay's earlier opening songs like 'Vaada Vaada Thozha', Nee Entha Ooru", etc. The opening song goes like this:

Aadungada Enna Suththi
Naan Ayyanaaru Vettu Katti
Paada poren enna paththi
Kelungada Vaaya poththi....

For one of the other songs, a huge set was erected at AVM studios resembling that of a ship. The set was erected by Kadhir. Here, the song featuring Mumait Khan and Vijay was shot. Prabudeva kept improvising to the steps given by Dance master Sridhar for this song and the whole unit had a great time shooting for this song. The song's lyrics goes on like this

En Chella Peru Apple, Enna Lesa Kadichikko
En Sondha Ooru Ooty, Ennai sweater ah pottuko...

The audio is going to be released very soon and would surely be a hit among the masses and Vijay's fans in particular!

All in all, after reading the article, one of Vijay's most famous dialogues from his mega blockbuster 'Ghilli' comes to mind

Kalakkarom, Jeikkarom

Inevitable addition in Vijay’s baggage

Vijay flies quite often to exotic European locales owing to the shoots of his duets with pretty lead ladies. What is new is that he has found an interest to entertain himself and in turn benefit out of it.

Vijay

He makes sure that his baggage inevitably includes his handy cam. If you thought he wants to film the breathtaking locations, you are mistaken.

He has another interesting motive behind carrying his cam with him though. He films the architectural splendor of the locations. The houses and buildings that prevail in the area are locked by Vijay in his camera. He does have an interest in architecture; on the other hand, his intention is only to recreate them in his dream palaces.

He intends to utilize the designs that captures his eyes and heart – which we hope is not patented – in his future building projects. We assume that sooner or later the Chennai lot can witness the magnificence of colonial architecture.
