Follow Mahesh:Rajini Advice to Vijay
Rajinikant has seen Pokiri and is very happy with the film. He has advised Vijay who's doing the remake not to change anything because the original feel might go missing. His suggestion applied to the direction department that is Prabhudeva who is incharge of it.
He asked Vijay to follow Mahesh word to word and assured success in the tamil version. Who says experience doesn't count?

Pasupathy has walked out of Prabhu Deva directed Vijay film Pokiri, even before the shooting has started! Pasupathy who was signed to do the film now says that the character he was supposed to do, does not excite him and it is a routine role that he has done in many films.
Pasupathy saw the Telugu Pokiri and was signed to do the role of a lecherous police officer done by Ashish Vidyarthi. However, the buzz is that this character is nothing but the role that Ashish himself did in Vikram's Dhill some years back. So Pasupathy was not keen to do the role.
Now the actor will be doing Perarasu's Vijaykanth film Dharmapuri in which he will be pitted against the hero in a meaty and lengthy role.

A snapshot of Vijay’s expectation about Pokkiri
Vijay is eager to start work on Pokkiri. Here is a snapshot of what he expects from the film.
“ I have never worked under Prabudeva’s choreography. My wish has only been granted now. I am doubly delighted that he would also be the director. The original carried a great amount of energy. I am sure he would bring the same passion and I would get the chance to perform well.
Mani Sharma’s music is astounding and the songs would be on everyone’s lips. Asin plays the heroine. I have always shared a wonderful chemistry with her. In this film, she is like a gentle whiff of morning breeze and dew fresh flower who would delight every heart.”

After a six-month break, Vijay finally got back into action when the groundwork of the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit Pokiri began. He called the media and even announced the date of Puja. However, there is a small problem that has cropped, putting Vijay on the back foot.

Fearing that the shock value of the newness would go away, Vijay has asked some changes in the story be made so that his fans could see something new on the screen.

Brindha Master speaks about Vijay
Courtesy: www.kumudam.com
Brindha, the famous dance master and who recently choreographed “Olli Olli Iduppe” song from Aadhi, speaks about the heroes and heroines she has worked with, in this week’s edition of Kumudham.
An excerpt from the interview relevant to Vijay:
When “Olli Olli Iduppe” song was shot in Switzerland, it was freezing cold out there. Everyone in the unit was wearing 2 jerkins. But Vijay and Trisha danced in light dresses in a cool manner, beautifully. If there is an interest in work like this, it is really easy to work with anyone.
“On the Spot Dance” means its only Vijay. I go very cool for Vijay’s shootings. Because we can compose any step as we wish. Just I will make lights on and tell him that “this is the step”. He will watch it carefully only once and will do it as it is.
He has the name of “Great Dancer” amongst his fans today. But not even once till now, he has asked me like “I want this step” or “This step is not nice. Change it” etc.
Once we teach him something, he will immediately grasp it and does it wonderfully.

How Asin signed up for Vijay's Pokkiri
June 17, 2006
They short-listed three heroines for Vijay's Pokkiri, the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit by the same name. Asin, Trisha and Ileana—one of them will pair with Vijay.Ileana, being the No1 heroine in Telugu, demanded 50 lakhs for her role.
Asin quoted 40 while Trisha said 30 was her rate. Even though Prabhu Deva wanted Ileana in the movie, the producer vetoed the proposal. He said she was new to Tamil and giving her 50 lakhs was a gamble.
They zeroed in on Trisha but last minute consultations saw her out. She was Vijay's pair in Aathi and the movie was a slump where as Vijay-Asin's Sivakasi was a big hit. Asin is also a favourite of Vijay's fans. That had brought her in.
For the producer, paying 10 lakhs more didn't matter much. Asin has a market, you see!

They short-listed three heroines for Vijay's Pokkiri, the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit by the same name. Asin, Trisha and Ileana—one of them will pair with Vijay.Ileana, being the No1 heroine in Telugu, demanded 50 lakhs for her role.
Asin quoted 40 while Trisha said 30 was her rate. Even though Prabhu Deva wanted Ileana in the movie, the producer vetoed the proposal. He said she was new to Tamil and giving her 50 lakhs was a gamble.
They zeroed in on Trisha but last minute consultations saw her out. She was Vijay's pair in Aathi and the movie was a slump where as Vijay-Asin's Sivakasi was a big hit. Asin is also a favourite of Vijay's fans. That had brought her in.
For the producer, paying 10 lakhs more didn't matter much. Asin has a market, you see!
