Who is Vijay' s next director?
Tuesday, 28 November , 2006, 17:30
Vijay is just completing Pokiri and is all set to start his next film Azhagiya Tamil Makan (ATM) by mid-December for producer Swargachitra Appachan.
Now the big question is after ATM, what next? Perarasu narrated a one-line story to Vijay, which the actor found to be deadly. He is said to have told people close to him that it may give him a new image.
Perarasu and Vijay have been signed more than a year back by London Karuna better known as Ayyankaran, the DVD king of Tamil cinema. They want to start the film in April and Perarasu says that Vijay has given him the green signal to go ahead.
Meanwhile Dharani has been writing a script for Vijay for producer AVM Balasubramaniam and his son Gurunath. Dharani says that Vijay will be doing his film in April after he completes ATM! Dharani also said that Vijay is Kicked about the script.
Will our Ilayathaapathy please clarify, whether he is going to do Perarasu or Dharani film? Well those close to him say he will take a call only after the release of Pokiri!

Appachan's film with Vijay still in doubt
- 24.11.2006
'Azagiya Tamizh Magan' is the name of the film that Vijay is going to work in, for Swargachitra Appachan. There is nothing even remotely beautiful about the way the producer is waiting with his fingers crossed for the film to begin.
For more than 18 months, he had been keeping his fingers crossed, hoping that the film would begin sooner or later.
Vijay is working in the Tamil remake of the phenomenal Telugu blockbuster, 'Pokiri'. Dance director Prabhudeva makes his debut in Tamil as a director with this film. Vijay was supposed to work in Appachan's film as soon as he completes 'Pokiri'. The film was delayed for a long time because he ended up getting into a misunderstanding with the director.
The film is supposed to be Vijay's January 2007 release. So, he is going to be very busy with completing the film.
Rumors have started that Appachan's film just might not begin in December either!

Will Vijay's grace save A M Rathnam?
Nov 22, 2006
Financial crises are not quite unheard of in the industry, particularly among the producers who are at the receiving end when a movie fails to generate expected revenues at the box office.
Talking about crisis, A M Rathnam seems to be experiencing a difficult phase owing to financial difficulties with the back-to-back failures of his movies.
A couple of his Telugu movies fall flat at the box office recently. Adding fuel to the fire, Tamil movies proved no less with Dharmapuri miserably failing and though the movie was fairly good, KD did not generate enough money either. Owing to this, his Bheema is abandoned half way through for lack of funds.
Under these circumstances, Rathnam seems to have recently caught up with Vijay and addressed all the financial crises that haunt him. It is reported that he had sought Vijay's call sheet to rescue himself from the current situation. Though Vijay did not answer immediately,
neither did he turn down the request. Does that mean that he is contemplating?

Vadivelu's comedy --- a highlight of Pokiri

Monday, November 20, 2006
For all Vijay fans... A humble request!!!
Today I was watching "Ini Achamillai Achamillai" show in Jaya TV. The topic was about "Fans of cinestars and their fanatism" When I started watching it, a Vijay fan was being interviewed. U ppl mite be knowing that actress Lakshmi is hosting the show.
She asked that fan about what he does during every film release. He was telling like cutouts, banners, paal abishekam etc. Lakshmi asked "Have u fed atleast one child in ur area with milk one day?? How many children are suffering from hunger? Don't u feel that u can do something for them?" The guy was speechless and had nothing to say.
Later his mom and sister were in the show telling how that guy fights with his father and others at home in his extremist fanatism. Now, this is not a comedy show or a drama to laugh at... Its the fact!!!
There are people who forget their family, responsibilites, career etc and fight with others for silly things proving that their actor is the best ever in the industry. Now wats the use of all these?? The actors' No.1 or No.2 is decided by the industry and their films' run. No poll or a fight in the forum can change that.
There were psychological facts discussed like its the fire to achieve and desire to make it big in life that makes us inspired by heroes. It was there right from time of warriors. And moreover, those who earn enough and are packed with day to day work do not involve in these fan club celebrations.
They watch films as an entertainment and enjoy it and of course their thalaivar on-screen. Maximum they will do is, post a review on the net. Its the burning desire within underprivileged or lesser priviledged people, to project themselves as heroes before others, that makes them spend whatever money they get in all these ways.
Now understanding these basic things, finally what do we ppl get by all these?? A satisfaction that we have won over them?? This "we" and "them" is what spoils sleep of many fans. U like an actor, watch him on screen, admire him, join his fans communities, share your thoughts on him, enjoy your time and full stop.
Anything apart from these is a waste of time and energy. For that matter, Vijay has told repeatedly in his interviews, "Don't waste money in the name of cutouts and paal abishegam. Feed the poor in your area with that money. Get books for school children. And remember always, ur profession, your family and finally only Vijay and my movies."
How many of us have understood this? There is only a blind following and many are not followers by virtue or by deeds. The final words from today's show are golden words for every fan like us. "One who realises himself and his potential is the one who succeeds in life. All your favorite heroes whom u worship have done this and realised themselves. If each and every citizen does this, our country will be full of heroes"
It may sound philosophical and even foolish also to many. But sit and think about it and if u feel it is right, spread this message. A packet of milk on a cutout can serve for hunger of 2 kids of a poor family. The cost of cutout or banner erected for showing your hero's power will educate one(or even two) kids of a poor family.
Do more to ur family and ur fellow humans in the name of your actor. That gives him more star power than the cutout or milk or beer u buy for him, wasting your money. You star will anyways be powerful as he is, whether you do these or not.
Come out of dream world, face the reality. If atleast one fan changes his mind after reading this, I would be happy for typing such a long post. :-) Thanks for patience reading if you have come till here.... Hoping a different welcome from your side for Pokkiri. :-) Vijay Vaazhga!!!
Thanks,
Karthik

AR Rahman, Vijay come together
Music director A R Rahman and actor Vijay are coming together for the first time in a Tamil film.
They are joining hands for 'Azhagiya Tamizh Magan', the film produced by `Swargachitra' Apachan.
Rahman, whose hits this year include 'Rang de Basanti', is reportedly refreshed by the idea of scoring music for a Vijay film. Naturally, since the song sequences in a Vijay film are always a huge hit. Bharathan, who has done duty with director Tharani of 'Dhil', 'Dhool' and 'Gilli' fame, is directing the film. Shooting will commence in January.

A recap of Vijay's Cine Biography...
One of the consequences of this sudden growth is that he earned the name of "the emperor of (revenue) collection" ("vasool chakravarthy") even as early as his 17th film itself! Cinema Distributors gathered together and announced: "Vijay's films have the same kind of reception and revenue collection as Rajinikanth and Kamalhassan's films do have! So we remove ceiling method for getting distribution rights for his films!".
Vijay always remains very simple without the least trace of any affected manners or pretence! Rather he's very affectionate towards one and all and shows special respect and regards to parents and elders! He worships with gratitude those who are responsible for his present level of development in life! First of all his father S.A.Chandrasekaran, mother Shoba, then actor Vijayakanth----like this his list of people who lend him great help in his formative period in cinema is getting on extended!
Vijay was born on June 22 as son to the lovers turned life-partners S.A.Chandrasekaran and Shoba! Vijay also had an younger sister by name Vidya, but the latter died quite unexpectedly! S.A.Chandrasekaran has directed so far 50 films in different languages. Shoba has directed "Nanbargal" and "Innisai Mazhai".
Vijay who's a drop-out from an incompleted B.Sc. Visual Communications course in Chennai Loyola College, got introduced as newface hero through the Tamil film "Naalaiya Theerppu", directed by his father S.A.Chandrasekaran. Vijay, who treats actor Vijayakanth as his affectionate elder brother, remains a staunch fan of Super Star Rajinikanth. Among actresses Meena, Gajol and Madhuri Dixit are his favourites.
When Vijay was acting in "Deva", during the shooting of a particular action sequence, without asking for a dupe artist, he himself jumped down from a terrace, and thus greatly stunned the viewers who had assembled there, with his act of valour! While acting in "Chandralekha" he got leg injury and managed acting in the subsequent shots as a lame person. It's Vijay's habit to attend punctually his shooting schedules! "Punctuality is the most important thing"--this's an advice by his father. Also Vijay hasn't so far been trapped into any nasty gossips of derogatory kind.
His hit films like "Poove Unakkaaka", "Love Today", 'Nerukku Ner", "Once More", "Kaathalukku Mariyathai", "Ninaiththen Vanthaai", "Yentrentrum Kaathal" and "Thullaatha Manamum Thullum" have, one after the other, made easy the cineworld success-journey of Vijay. Rajinikanth once showered upon him his heart-felt felicitations saying: "You have got God's great help. Work hard and you can attain still greater levels of development in future".
In a theatre in Chennai, the victory celebration of the film "Poove Unakkaaka" took place. Tamilnadu Chief Minister Kalaignar Karunanidhi participated in it and gave away the shield to Vijay. This is considered by Vijay as the most fortunate omen in his career and he has now started lending various helps to the needy poor through his fans' association.
When asked "Whether such acts of lending assistance to the poor is anything like laying the foundation for Vijay's future entry into politics?", he replies: "No, no...If one is born as a human being, it becomes his bounden duty to do good to other fellow beings! I'm doing only that! I would remain, until the last, an actor liked by all!"
Unmistakable outlook and a crystal clear expression of views----that's the mark of this success hero, Vijay!

Prabhu Deva all praise for Rajini

Shades of Vijay in Pokkiri
As we all know, Prabhudeva is acclaimed nationwide for his bone flexing dancing skills. On the other hand, Vijay is no less. He is one of the heroes in Tamil cinema who can dance exceptionally well. His dance moves need no prelude. Their combination definitely means that more than a few catchy dance numbers will be present in the movie. Director Prabhudeva echoes our thought and promises that the New Year will see the channels parading back to back with songs from Pokkiri.
The shoot schedules of the movie are wrapped up except for a few songs. For the songs though, Prabhudeva is meticulously planning with Vijay owing to the expectations geared up among the public. It sounds promising and not as an overstatement when Prabhudeva commented about the songs and dance of the movie. Apart from that, the entire movie will travel in a certain sense of rhythm, promises Prabhudeva – a trick he probably derived from his dancing background.
Shades of Vijay
Pokkiri, as per Prabhudeva, is a fun filled entertainer with all the promising aspects to make the movie a commercial hit – just the way it was in Telugu. Prabhudeva seemed to have unleashed Vijay’s complete potential in Pokkiri. Vijay will be in his never-seen-before role in Pokkiri and the romantic, fast, easy, and funny shades that Vijay portray will be a highlight of the movie, Prabhudeva confides. We agree he is that all and probably above, Vijay that is.
Vadivelu is cast apart Vijay yet again to tickle our senses. Prakashraj, Napoleon, and Nasser are the other stalwarts in Pokkiri. Of course we all know that Asin shakes her booty with Vijay and Prabhudeva assures the romantic numbers to be disarming. The opening scene of Vijay and Asin in the lift is another added highlight of the movie, Prabhudeva declares.
Pokkiri is expected to hit the screens all over early next year. It could well be for the Pongal festive season. Bite your nails and wait folks for the extravaganza that the crew is about to bring onscreen in the name of Pokkiri.
