Have you ever heard of a flight without a pilot? Without director Prabhu Deva, Vijay has gone for shooting!

There were reports that Prabhu Deva and Vijay were having differences of opinion at the 'Pokkiri' sets. Both artistes denied the rumours and at a shooting that took place at Chennai, both looked amiable.

That was only 2 days back. Now, both Vijay and Asin have flown to Australia minus Prabhu Deva for shooting a song sequence for 'Pokkiri.'

Only 2 more songs have to be shot for the film that's to have a Pongal release. Vijay, Asin, cameraman Nirav Shah and choreographer Raju Sundaram have gone to Australia, but Prabhu Deva remains in Chennai.

It is said the Vijay-Prabhu Deva skirmishes is the cause of this. Others say, because of the editing, dubbing and re-recording work, Prabhu Deva is staying back in Chennai and this is not the first time a song sequence is being shot without the director being present.

As long as the film is a hit, it does not matter!

Vijay: Fans feel its a way of showing their love to me. I feel happy and they felt happy too. I never asked them to put cut-outs' at all the place that I go. Its a recognition that they gave me. I have told them many time to not take risk for it, health is more important, dont get trouble themselves. I didnt ask them to put cutouts but when they are happy doing it, why should stop them.

Dear Ilayathalapthy, you have acted in many films and earned lots of money. Who taking in-charge your household finance? How much you knew about that? I need honest reply.

When hero's doing double action role, they only showing small differentiation. Aren't this disappointing fans?
-R.Ganeshan, Madurai 11
Vijay: Its all depend on the story. In "Navarathri" movie Shivaji done nine roles, he shown lots of differences in each roles. That story requires lots of differences. In some stories, two characters shaped to have sameness, so, they must act in same way for both roles. If not, it will affect the story. Its depends on the story only. There is nothing to disappoint fans, anna.

-H.Thasmila, Keelakarai
Vijay: I have on Shivaji sir, Kamal, and Vikram. Shivaji is lagend; I feel amazed until now, when I watch Kamal's Aboorva Raagangal. He acted as cretin even in those days where we dont have any techonological advancement. Vikram's acting in Kasi is excellent. I even asked myself whether I can act like that or not.

How much marks you'll give it to your acting?
-Ram Aathinarayanan, Tanjavoor-1
Vijay: How much is just past Ram Aathinarayana? Its 35 right? Then thats how much I'll give to my acting. Is it ok Thalaiva?

Acting is your carrier but when you in sad mood, you require to perform energetic dance sequence or you need to perform a happy scene. How do you overcome, when you cannot show your real feelings and needs to hide it for acting?
-G.Ananthi Sivakumar, Thindukal
Vijay: The situations thats your telling, happens sometime. Sometime, I was in mood-out, but when the shoot was ready and stand in-front of camera, the sadness, mood-out all just disappear. Its very rare for mid get disturb while in acting. Its even more hard to sit alone without doing any work when we in sad mood. So, its better to work!

Dear actor Vijay, what would be you advise to me who are in low self-confidence?
-T.Rathika, Nellai
Vijay: Low self-confidence is something that we impose on ourself. Its enough if we confidence and brave enough. Then we can face everything bravely. Why should we feel less confidence about ourself.
