Everyone knows that the Malaysian Tamil Yogi's 'engeyum eppodhum're- mix was the top of the charts last year. He has sung a song for Vijay's 'Kuruvi.'
The song was picturised in Chennai. Yogi has also danced in the number that has been composed by Vidyasagar.
The 'Kuruvi'unit is now in Salem. After shooting some of Vijay's scenes there, Dharani and unit will go to Theni. There are also plans to shoot in Pune.
They are wondering in which foreign country to shoot a duet of Vijay and Trisha.
Dharani is planning to complete the film fast and release it in June.

Trisha might have missed the chance of acting with the superstar. But she is dancing with him for a single song. It will be in ‘Kuselan’, Rajinikanth’s next film.
Wait. Trisha is not the only star who is dancing with the superstar. The song has Kamal Haasan, Ajith, and Vijay as well. The movie, portraying Rajini as a superstar, has a song sequence featuring all these stars.
When director P. Vasu requested all these stars, everyone immediately accepted to act. So, we will get to see many leading stars appearing together on screen after a long time.

Kuruvi - To fly high!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is happy with the way his Kuruvi is progressing. The story is racy as there is never a dull moment in Dharani's script. Vijay knows that ultimately Tamil super hero films are all character driven, and he is taking extra care to see that the character he plays in the film clicks with the masses.
According to Vijay watchers what went wrong with ATM, was the film lacked a villain and it was basically a story of "good" Vijay versus "bad" Vijay which his audiences could not stom
ach. Now in Kuruvi, the buzz is that the villain character played by Suman is strong and the conflict with the hero has been worked out in a realistic way. Last week Ashish Vidyarthi too has been added to the cast of the film.
Vidyasagar's music is said to be a major highlight. The latest we hear is that Ilayathalapathy is going to dance with the rap singer from Malaysia Yogi.B, the pop singer who made a sensational debut in Tamil films by dancing and singing the remix song Engeyum Eppodhum…. with Dhanush in Polladhavan. That one song in Kuruvi where Vijay and Yogi dances together is sure to have his fans in a frenzy!
Kuruvi has completed a large chunk of its shoot in Chennai city locales and studios, outdoor in Malaysia's never- seen- before locations. Next week the shoot of the film moves to a quarry in Salem, and from there to Theni and later they will be shooting near Pune. The film is said to be Vijay's big summer release in May/June.

Why does Vijay like kalyana mandapams so much?
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
February 05, 2008
On the sets of Ghilli, Trisha once asked Vijay, “How do you explain your interest in building marriage halls? There are so many of them in different parts of the city?" Smiling, the star replied: “I like marriage halls because to me they symbolise many good things in life - a new beginning, hope, happiness, laughter and communion. Aren't they reasons enough for building them?” Trisha answered; “They sure are!”
Vijay named one of the marriage halls after his mother, the other after his son, Sanjay. Building marriage halls for people to use is one of many charities the star is actively involved in. Now he is all set to build a new kalyana mandapam in Koratur, near Ambatur. What his fans are curious to know is, who will it be named after? His daughter, Divya Saasha, maybe?

Nayan to star with Vijay?
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
February 04, 2008
News about Vijay signing on the dotted lines for AVM Productions is creating a buzz in the Kollywood circles. With the focus now shifting on who would direct this film, believable sources now have it that the honors could go to director Hari.
With this major issue expected to be resolved anytime now, the female lead in this flick is also a hot topic under discussion. Meanwhile, there are talks that Hari is considering Nayanthara to star opposite Vijay.
Given the fact that Hari brought Nayan to Kollywood, chances of her nodding consent to this venture are brighter.

Security concerns of the heroes
IndiaGlitz
[Saturday, February 02, 2008]
Popular actors have the habit of arranging for their own security in public places. It is because of the habit of frenzied fans rounding up even the junior artistes for autographs and hand shakes. Sometimes they go overboard and hence popular actors are forced to think about their security in public places.
MGR, the yesteryear's superstar and the most popular of his era, used to have some strong body guards as his personal securities. Kamal Haasan is accompanied by some weight lifting champions while attending public functions. Their strong and muscular bodies would discourage anyone, who tries to cross the limit. Now Vikram follows the same path.
Though Vijay is accompanied only by his fan club president, five strong persons always follow his car, when he goes around in public places. Silambarasan and Ajith have the habit of coming with friends, while Dhanush has started to have security arrangements after he got a severe injury in his hand because of a fan's over enthusiasm.
Surprisingly, no actress has such an arrangement to protect herself in public places. Fans do not mob their dream girls as they mob their heroes.

Vijay and AVM: who is the director?
IndiaGlitz
[Wednesday, January 23, 2008]
Everyone knows that Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay has signed up with AVM for a movie that is to be produced later this year. But it is not AVM Saravanan, who will produce the movie under the prestigious banner AVM.
Now Vijay fans are eager to know who would direct the movie. Vijay is yet to make up his mind in this regard. He has already heard stories from Hari and Perarasu and yet to finalize the director.
Meanwhile Balasubramanyam and Vijay’s father S.A. Chandrashekar saw Perarasu’s recent movie ‘Pazhani’. It is said that both liked the movie and appreciated the director.
So shall we conclude that it would be Perarasu, who would direct Vijay for the third time? It might be a safe bet to go with Perarasu, who had given two hits in Thiruppachi and Sivakasi featuring Vijay.
Keep watching IndiaGlitz to get updated on the project.

Its an open secret that Vijay is an ardent fan of Superstar Rajinikanth and he often tries to follow the footsteps of the legend.He is not ashamed to use the same techniques used by the superstar and more often than not his strategy has paid off well.
Keeping in line with his established practice, Vijay has now used an helicopter extensively to shoot several sequences in his film Kuruvi just as the superstar used the chopper effectively for his movie Sivaji.
Sources say an entire song in Kuruvi has been shot using the helicopter to make an impression on the viewers.

A pat on the back!
IndiaGlitz
[Thursday, January 17, 2008]
The overall atmosphere of Tamil film world is fast becoming healthier these days. We can see a lot of creative experiments being tried and more professionalism being brought in with the arrival of corporate companies. In addition to these developments, there is a welcome change in the attitude of the stars. They move with more friendliness and seek to make it a healthy competition rather than a bitter one.
We can site the example of leading stars like Vijay, Suriya, and Madhavan viewing ‘Billa’ and appreciating Ajith’s performance. The so-called and much hyped cold war between Ajith and Vijay is nowhere in sight.
Now Vijay has appreciated the efforts of younger actors Bharath and Silambarasan for their respective performances in their latest films that came out on Pongal day. Vijay is said to have hugged Silambarasan to complement him for his acting in ‘Kaalai’. He has also praised Bharath for his “amazing performance in the fighting sequences” in ‘Pazhani’.
Bharath is on cloud nine, as he has been “appreciated by his role model”. He has decided to continue to act in action movies. He also has plans to team up with director Perarasu again.

Kuruvi on a Chopper
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
January 14, 2008
You have heard of planes crashing due to bird hit, but this time it's about a bird in a chopper. This one is for Vijay's film Kuruvi. Incidentally, this film's shooting was on in Malaysia for a long time and the crew had only recently returned to Chennai. A stunt scene was picturised with Vijay taking on few men who belong to the African mafia in a huge bar-cum-disco set erected for this purpose.
Kuruvi's crew is following another trend that was started off again by Rajini's Sivaji, where the superstar uses a chopper to travel to a village and even in the climax. Chopper was also used to shoot a tsunami sequence in Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam. Aerial shots using choppers are not new to Tamil cinema, just that it is now being used for more relevant scenes than only a few shots in a song. In Kuruvi, the director has used a chopper to shoot an entire song sequence to give it a feel of grandeur. Directors are now willing to go any lengths to experiment even in the technical department.
