Vijay's decision proves wise
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
June 21, 2008
After haggling over for a title for their film, Vijay and director Prabhu Deva finally decided to name their film Vil. But when sources pointed out that the title has already been taken up S.J. Suryah, the clever duo modified it to Villu, in spite S.J. Suryah's assurance that Vil has been shelved due to unforeseen circumstances.
Well, the decision to be in the safer side seems to have paid off now, as S.J. Suryah has decided to recommence the film. In fact, Vil's teaser trailer, which was done by director Prabhakaran, was so good that S.J. Suryah now thinks it would be wise to resume the film. Talks are on with the producers in this regard.

Vijay: The quintessential entertainer- Happy Birthday
Behindwoods
June 21, 2008
Some people are just blessed with that presence! A presence that can make everything else seem small and insignificant. They do not need big weighty dialogues, lavish songs or heavy duty stunts, they capture your attention by just being there, everything else just adds to the effect. Some call this charisma, others refer to it as magnetism or aura - all these mean the same when Vijay is on screen. The man of the masses of Tamil cinema, he lives our dreams and fantasies on screen like no other actor of his generation has done over the past decade. Starting off as the timid young lad in the early 90s, to being the romantic hero, the action star and steadily building his place in our minds and hearts to become the Ilaiya Thalapathi. Behindwoods joins thousands of Vijay fans all over Tamil Nadu in wishing him a very happy birthday.
Unlike popular perception, being a mass hero is not something very easy. As a peoples' star there is a certain pattern or formula that is expected every time he appears on screen and he has to live up to it and yet give something different each time he does a movie. In short, he has a tough job of finding unpredictability in predictability. When fans watch a Vijay movie there is a feeling of comfortable familiarity that they enjoy, the knowledge that they will be entertained, that their hero will emerge on top in the end and that no matter what, they can go back home, happy having had a great time inside the theaters. Vijay has to provide all this, keep his fans happy and yet try to find something new. There has been the criticism that most of his movies follow the same formula (which some call clichéd), which is harsh because of its narrow perspective. Many say that he is far too predictable to be enjoyed but then those who feel that Vijay is getting repetitive must check out his figures at the box office. There are few (one or maybe two) contemporaries that can guarantee the kind of openings that he can generate, the euphoria that he can create, the celebrations that he can trigger in the galleries every time he dances or fights- if Vijay was repetitive as the critics had thought, then all this would never have been possible.
Yes, there have been the failures and pitfalls but Vijay has always got up, dusted himself and moved forward. As the saying goes, failure is not when you fall, it is when you refuse to get up. But then, when you have to match the expectations of the countless fans waiting eagerly for your movie things are bound to go wrong once in a while. Look at it in this way and you will find that Vijay's consistency in satisfying his fans is something you have to tip your hat to. Vijay the actor's formula is simple, to get into the character and Vijay the star's formula is simple, keep your fans happy and when these two are put together, the result is a no holds barred entertainer.
The Vijay brand of entertainment may not be everyone's cup of tea (or so some may like to pretend) but how many times have we caught ourselves enjoying those swift and elegant dance moves, those powerful dialogues and the stylish bashing of the baddies. There can be a debate over whether Vijay is a cinematic genius or a versatile actor, but there are no two opinions on his stardom, unchallenged and undisputed. Mass hero, Ilaiya Thalapathi Vijay- many happy returns of the day.
This time, too, Ilaiya Thalapathi's fans have come out with big plans for their hero's birthday and it really does look big this time. For the first time since its inception the Vijay lead Narppani Iyakkam will have an official flag, don't read too deeply into it, it is just an identity. The crowds expected to turn out at the venue, the Centenary Hall of Madras University, are so big that only five members from each registered Vijay Fan's Association will be permitted into the venue (that speaks loads about the man's pull). Meanwhile, Vijay the perfect professional was shooting in Pazhani for Villu. The schedule wrapped up just a day prior to the celebrations and he is slated to join them on the big day. That shows why he is such a big star, no amount of adulation has changed his approach to cinema, and he simply continues working.

Vijay's big B'day plans
By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 21 June , 2008, 10:40
Ilayathalapathy Vijay plans to celebrate his 35th birthday in style on Sunday, June 22.
After visiting his favourite orphanages and also donating materials to the poor and needy, he will be officially launching his fan flag.
Vijay becomes the fourth Tamil actor in recent times after Rajinikanth, Vijaykanth and Sarath Kumar to have his own flag for his fan club- Akhila India Vijay Rasigar Narpani Mandiram (AIVRNM).
If Rajini's flag had light blue, white and red with the superstar's image imprinted in a star in it, Vijay's is also said to be similar with his face embossed on it. It also clearly proves that the star nurses political ambitions.
The big bash is taking place at the University of Madras, Centenary Hall at 4.30 PM and entry is by invitation only. Vijay after unveiling his party flag, will announce other welfare activities that his fan club will undertake.

நாளை விஜய்க்கு பிறந்தநாள். அதனை பிரமாண்டமாகக் கொண்டாட தயாராகி வருகின்றனர் ரசிகர்கள்.
பிறந்த நாளில் ரசிகர்களை சந்திப்பது, நற்பணிகள் செய்வது, அனாதை இல்லங்களுக்கு செல்வது என அந்த நாளை பரபரப்பாக கொண்டாடுகிறவர் விஜய். இந்த முறையும் கொண்டாட்டத்திற்கு குறைவிருக்காது என்பதுடன் கூடுதல் குஷியுடன் இருக்கிறார்கள் ரசிகர்கள்.
விஜய் படம் வெளியாகும்போது அவரது படத்தைப் போட்டு விதவிதமான கொடிகளில் தோரணம் அமைப்பதை தமிழ்நாடு முழுக்க காணலாம். ஆனால், மன்றத்துக்கென தனிக்கொடி இதுவரை இல்லை.
நாளை தனது பிறந்தநாளை முன்னிட்டு தனிக்கொடி அறிமுகப்படுத்துகிறாராம் விஜய். தளபதி அரசியலில் நுழைவதற்கான அச்சாரம் இது என அவரது ரசிகர்கள் குதூகலிக்கிறார்கள்.
பிறந்த நாளை முன்னிட்டு தனது ஷோபா திருமண மண்டத்தில் தமிழகம் முழுக்க உள்ள மன்ற நிர்வாகிகளுடன் ஆலோசனை நடத்துகிறார் விஜய்.
அரசியல் பிரவேசம் குறித்து விஜய் எதுவும் சொல்லப்போவதில்லை என்றாலும் எதிர்பார்ப்புடன் இருக்கிறார்கள் ரசிகர்கள்.

Is Vijay aiming right with 'Villu'?
IndiaGlitz
[Saturday, June 21, 2008]
Touted as the next superstar of Tamil cinema, Vijay is reportedly keen on getting everything right with ‘Villu’. An average showing with ‘Azhagiya Tamil Magan’ and ‘Kuruvi’ has not helped Vijay's journey to the numero uno position for the future. Despite being on the top amongst young heroes, the actor has to come up with a string of successes to consolidate his position.
After the stupendous success of 'Pokkiri', the remake of a Telugu film by the same name, Vijay has teamed up with Prabhu Deva once again, to reproduce the success. Sources say ‘Villu’ is expected to have the usual dose of fights, dance, sentiment-filled sequences and loads of dialogues that 'glorify' Vijay. These are facets that are loved by the 'typical' Vijay fan. No matter how well these elements reach out, the story and narration hold the key to the long run. This is where Prabhu Deva and Vijay have to be extra careful.
There is a talk doing the rounds as to what the story of ‘Villu’ is going to be like. It goes like this….
A group of baddies kill an honest, hardworking man. The man's wife and son are somehow spared. The son (Vijay) grows up under the impression that his father had perished in an accident. But then, as the story goes, Vijay learns of the malicious plot that got his father murdered. An angry Vijay hatches a plan to bring the murderers to justice and in the process falls in love with the daughter of a baddie, played by Nayantara. Inevitably it is justice and love ahead of Dad and so she toes the lines of Vijay's plans dutifully only to succeed.
Even a die hard Vijay fan would be hoping against hope that this is just a rumor and the actual story is in fact a new gripping tale. If this rumor turns out to be true, one gets the feeling Vijay will have to get back to square one, rethink his strategies and start all over again in order to get things right.
Only time will tell us the truth. So, let's hold our horses and wait for the story to unfold. Keep an eye on IndiaGlitz for updates.

நாளை விஜய்க்கு பிறந்தநாள். வழக்கமான ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்களுடன் தனது மன்ற நிர்வாகிகளை ஷோபா திருமண மண்டபத்தில் சந்திக்கிறார் விஜய். இந்த சந்திப்பின்போது, தனது மன்றத்து கொடியை அறிமுகப்படுத்த இருக்கிறாராம் இளைய தளபதி.
கொடி அறிமுகப்படுத்த இருப்பதை ஏதோ கட்சி ஆரம்பிப்பது போல் கொண்டாட இருக்கிறது ரசிகர்கள் குழாம். முதலில் கொடி, அடுத்தது கட்சி... இதுதானே அரசியலில் நுழைந்த நடிகர்களின் ·பார்முலா என ஆர்ப்பரிக்கிறார்கள்.
நாளை கொடி அறிமுகப்படுத்தும்போது, அரசியல் ஆசையோ, நோக்கமோ தனக்கில்லை என்பார் விஜய். ஆனால், எதிர்காலத்தில் என்ன நடக்கும் என்பதை யார் அறிவார்?
இந்த நிச்சியமின்மையில்தான் ரசிகர்களின் கொண்டாட்டத்திற்கான காரணம் ஒட்டிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

Vijay goes the Vijayakanth way

[Friday, June 20, 2008]
Vijayakanth launched a flag for his fans association even before he entered politics. Vijay is reportedly going Vijayakanth's way now.
A grand function is being organized in Chennai and the numero uno among young heroes Vijay will unveil the flag.
Does this mean the actor would also enter politics in the future? 'It's too early to say', said an avid Vijay fan.
'He is a mass hero and is admired everywhere. Obviously a flag for his fans association will bind his fans together', he said.

The unit of Villu is in Chalakudy in Kerala.

This is a favourite location of film makers and is located at the entrance to Sholayar ranges.
Villu is progressing at jet speed as the unit has completed the shoot in three locations- Palani, Pollachi and Karaikudi in the last 20 days.
Prabhudeva is a fantastic visualizer and is taking a lot of care to see that every frame is perfect.
Ravi Varman is in charge of the camera, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. After the completion of the present schedule nearly 40 percent of the film will be over.
In July the unit will be going for a long schedule abroad to complete the rest of the film.

Abhishek dances to Vijay's song
Prasanna Singh
[June 19, 2008, 12:15:49 PM]
Abhishek Bachchan who is the brand ambassador of Motorola will "dance away everyone's heart" in a new Motorola ad pretty soon. The new ad film features Abhishek Bachchan dancing to the famous Kollywood song `Appadi podu podu' from Vijay's blockbuster Ghilli. He will sure win everyone's attention with his style and hilarious movements in this song.
While launching the new mobile in Mumbai, Abhishek Bachchan performed this dance on stage. But that was just a curtain raiser. For the real event, we will have to wait until the ad hits the small screens.
After the event, when Abhishek Bachchan was answering the reporters' queries, he got a phone call on his mobile phone. Any guess as to what was his ringtone?! Yes! You are right! His phone began singing `Appadi podu podu'. It looks like now it is the turn of North to go crazy after `Appadi podu podu'!
Abhishek's face lit up when he saw the phone's display and while answering the call. He excused himself and answered the call and got back to the reporters and said "Well, you know who is waiting for me. So if you could please hurry up, I will get back to my family". And everyone obliged. Abhishek signed off with a big smile on his face.

Vijay, Nayan in Palani
Times of India
15 Jun 2008, 0008 hrs IST
Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Villu is progressing at a brisk pace in Palani, Pollachi and surrounding areas.
The film, directed by Prabhu Deva, is a musical action thriller that moves from a village in Tamil Nadu to across continents. Nayanthara is being featured opposite Vijay for the first time as his heroine.
Earlier, Nayan had done an item number, a popular song sung by Vijay's mom Shobha Chandrasekhar Kodambakkam area... in the super hit Vijay starrer Sivakasi. Prabhu Deva and Vijay are coming together after the success of Pokkiri.
The director is a fast worker, and the movie has camera by Ravi Varman. Ravi is happy that there is a lot of vibrancy in the way Prabhu visualises 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, who is impressed by the speed and professionalism of the director, is all praise for Prabhu Deva. On the other hand, Prabhu says Vijay is simply electrifying and is so involved with the proceedings. Seems like the duo is all set to rock again!

பந்தயத்தில் நடிகர் விஜய்!
சனி, 14 ஜூன் 2008( 17:32 IST )
எஸ்.ஏ. சந்திரசேகரன் படம் எடுக்கும் விதம் குறித்து இருவேறு கருத்துக்கள் இருக்கலாம். அவரின் வியாபார யுக்தி குறித்து ஒரே கருத்துதான்... மனிதர் பிஸினசில் புலி!
சுக்ரன் என்ற படத்தை எஸ்.ஏ.சி. எடுத்தார். ரவிகிருஷ்ணா ஹீரோ. மார்க்கெட் வேல்யூ இல்லாத சுக்ரனில் விஜயை கெஸ்ட் ரோலில் நடிக்க வைத்து சுக்ரனின் விற்பனையை கண்டபடி உயர்த்தினார்.
இந்தமுறை எஸ்.ஏ.சி. தனது பந்தயம் படத்தில் விஜயை நடிக்க வைக்கப் போவதில்லை. படத்தின் நாயகன் நிதின் சத்யா பந்தயத்தில் விஜயின் ரசிகராக வருகிறார். அப்புறமென்ன... படம் நெடுக விஜய் படத்தையும் பாட்டையும் போட்டு பட்டையை கிளப்பப் போகிறார்.
விஜய் ரசிகர்களை இழுக்க இந்த யுக்தி போதுமே!
