Nayanthara has completed work on Kuselan and she has joined the shoot of Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Villu in Pollachi, where they shot some scenes for the film.

Later the unit has gone back to Palani which is the main location for the film. Prabhu Deva, the director is a fast worker, and the movie which has camera by Ravi Varman, is canning shots at a hectic pace.

Ravi is happy that there is a lot of vibrancy in the way Prabhu visualizes his shots. Vijay and Nayanthara make a lovely pair and after the 10-day shoot in Palani the unit will be flying off to an exotic location abroad.

Vijay is all praise for Prabhu Deva, for his speed and professionalism. On the other hand, Prabhu says Vijay is simply electrifying and is so involved with the proceedings. Mutual admiration club?

After the lukewarm response received for Kuruvi, Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay is out on his next mission ‘Villu’ to be directed by Prabhu Deva. It has been reported that the team is charged up to make Villu a great hottie just like their previous project Pokkiri.

Nayanthara will be teaming up with Vijay as heroine for the first time though she did an item number earlier in Sivakasi. The unit will be leaving for Pazhani for a week long shooting which will involve Vijay, Nayan and Vadivelu.

After the completion of this part, the crew has plans to move overseas to New Zealand in the first week of July for a twenty day shoot where some important scenes are planned to be canned.

Vijay's Villu in trouble

Shooting of Moscowin Kaveri, an upcoming film being produced by Aascar Ravichandran and directed by cinematographer Ravi Varman is almost complete. This film has newcomers Rahul Ravindran and Yashoda in the lead roles. A complaint has been lodged by its producer Ravichandran against director Ravi Varman at the producer's council.

When the matter was probed, it was revealed that Ravi Varman has been chosen as the cinematographer for Vijay's new film Villu and he has already started working in the same. This seems to have irked Aascar who stated that Ravi Varman, before completing dubbing and other post production work in Moscowin Kaveri, has shifted base to Villu.

When the matter was brought to producer's council, Ravi Varman explained, "Only a day of shooting is pending in Moscowin Kaveri which I plan to complete after the first schedule of Villu which will go on for 2 weeks". Kollywood circles aver that in the event of Producer's council insisting that Ravi Varman should complete Moscowin Kaveri and then only move to Villu, the latter film may run in to some trouble.

'வில்லு' விஜய்-நயனதாரா!

விஜய் நடிக்கும் புதிய படத்தின் பெயர் வில்லு என மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளது.

விஜய், பிரபுதேவா மீண்டும் இணைகின்றனர். இருவரும் முன்பு இணைந்து கொடுத்த படம் போக்கிரி. அப்படம் மாபெரும் வெற்றி பெற்றதைத் தொடர்ந்து இவர்களின் 2வது படத்திற்கு பெரும் எதிர்பார்ப்பு எழுந்துள்ளது.

இப்படத்தில் விஜய்யுடன் ஜோடி சேருகிறார் நயனதாரா. கோடம்பாக்கம் ஏரியா பாட்டுக்கு விஜய்யுடன் குத்தாட்டம் ஆடிய நயனதாரா, முதல் முறையாக விஜய்யுடன் தனி நாயகியாக நடிக்கவுள்ளார்.

இந்தப் படத்திற்கு முதலில் சிங்கம் என பெயரிட்டிருந்தனர். ஆனால் இப்பெயரை இயக்குநர் ஹரி ஏற்கனவே பதிவு செய்து வைத்திருந்ததால், அதை மாற்றி வில் என புதுப் பெயர் சூட்டினர்.

ஆனால் இதே பெயரில், எஸ்.ஜே.சூர்யாவின் இயக்கம் பிளஸ் நடிப்பில் ஒரு படம் உருவாகி வருகிறது. இதனால் விஜய் படப் பெயர் மாறுமா, மாறாதா என்ற குழப்பம் ஏற்பட்டது.

இந்த நிலையில் இன்று முதல் விஜய், பிரபுதேவாவின் புதுப் படத்தின் ஷூட்டிங் தொடங்கியது. படத்தின் பெயரை வில் என்பதற்குப் பதில் வில்லு என மாற்றி வைத்துள்ளனர்.

அய்ங்கரன் இன்டர்நேஷனல் நிறுவனம் இப்படத்தைத் தயாரிக்கிறது. தேவிஸ்ரீபிரசாத் இசையமைக்கிறார். ரவிவர்மன் கேமராவைக் கையாளுகிறார்.

Prasanna Singh [June 6, 2008, 12:55:06 PM]

The filming of Villu is starting today following a pooja. This film has stirred the curiosity of the public for Prabhu Deva and Vijay are teaming up again; last time when Prabhu Deva directed Vijay in Pokkiri, it turned out to be a great hit.

Villu is a remake of the Hindi blockbuster Soldier, which starred Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta. And it looks like Bollywood and Kollywood have entered into some kind of exchange program. While Soldier is being remade in Tamil as Villu, Pokkiri is being remade in Hindi as Wanted: Dead or Alive with Salman Khan in the lead. Well, it looks like apart from cricket, cinema also unites India.

Soldier had a storyline and elements of cinema that were perfect enough to make a Vijay movie. With Prabhu Deva and Vijay teaming up again, it will be presented in a very interesting manner like last time. The original film's story is about a young man who avenges the gruesome death of an army officer who falls prey to a conspiracy. It also showcased the relationship between a mother and her son and was built around the sentiments involved in that relationship.

Villu is being produced under the banner of Ayngaran International Films Pvt. Ltd. by K. Karunamurthy and C. Arunpandian. Nayantara will be the female lead.

Music is by Devi Sri Prasad. It is not only the director and hero of Pokkiri teaming up again, but FEFSI Vijayan, the ace stunt choreographer of Pokkiri is also teaming up with them. Ravivarman takes care of the cinematography of Villu and Kola Bhaskar takes care of the editing work.

And it looks like June 6, 2008 is an auspicious day for a lot of movies. There are about seven movies launching today. Stay on Galatta and know more about them.

Name games and Vijay rules

[Friday, June 06, 2008]

Vijay's next venture 'Vil' has kicked off in Palani and the actor is very keen to get things in order right from the outset. Both Vijay and Prabhu Deva, the director of the film, are very keen to cast Vadivelu in a meaty role. It can be recalled that Vadivelu came up with rib tickling stuff in 'Pokiri' that was appreciated by the masses.

Initially the project was named 'Singam', but then director Hari had copyrighted the name for the movie he's planning to make with Suriya. So the Vijay-Prabhu Deva duo decided on 'Vil'. It was only after that they came to know director S. J. Suryah had the same title for a Telugu film he was making with Pawan Kalyan.

Vijay reportedly convinced S. J. Suryah and had him change the title of the Telugu film title. S. J. Suryah has now decided on the name 'Puli' for his film.

With the name game settled now, the unit is concentrating hard to get the movie in a slick format. Grapevine has it that 'Vil' is the remake of a Hindi film by name 'Soldier'. Asin plays Vijay's leading lady once again.

The movie has cinematography by Ravi Varma, music by Devi Sri Prasad and stunts by Fefsi Vijayan.

கடந்தவார இறுதி வரை இரண்டரை கோடிக்கும் அதிகமாக வசூலித்து முதலிடத்தில் உள்ளது குருவி. வார இறுதி வசூலில் குருவிக்கு அடுத்த இடத்தில் சந்தோஷ் சுப்ரமணியம். அடுத்து பாண்டி. நான்காவது, யாரடி நீ மோகினி!

யாரடி நீ மோகினி, சந்தோஷ் சுப்ரமணியம் படங்களின் மொத்த வசூலை இந்த வாரத்தில் குருவி முந்துவதற்கு வாய்ப்புள்ளது. அதேநேரம், குருவி பட்ஜெட்டுடன் ஒப்பிடும்போது, இந்த கலெக்சன் ஆவரேஜ்தான் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

Looks like Vishal’s announced project with Udhayanidhi might just take some time to commence. Our sources heard it from the horse’s mouth. Vishal confessed that he would work on a superhero Tamil movie signaling that the Udhayanidhi project has been postponed until further announcement.

Although Vishal did not reveal other details about the movie, apart from the fact that he would be directing it, he stated that the venture would appeal to kids and family audiences alike.

If you might remember, Mysskin earlier had plans for a superhero movie for which he even zeroed in on Vishal and later finalised Surya. However, Mysskin eventually became busy with his Nandalala postponing this project until Nandalala's completion.
