Rajinikanth and Vijay Join One Film

After the recent release of 'Kuselan', the remake of the Malayalam super hit 'Katha Parayumpol', there is a whiff i

n the air about another possible Malayalam remake in Tamil.

According to r

eports, plans are on to remake the Malayalam film 'One Way Ticket' that had Prithiviraj in the lead and Mammootty in a cameo as himself. The story was about Mammooty, a superstar in films, coming down to a village to save his ardent fan's love life.

A big banner that produces Tamil films is said to have bought the rights for this movie and is ready to remake the film with Vijay in the lead role. The reports also add that superstar Rajinikanth has been approached to play the cameo. Official confirmation is not out yet and it is not known if Rajinikanth will give the nod.

An interesting point to note is that Rajinikanth has been remaking quite a number of Malayalam hits. 'Muthu' was the remake of 'Thenmavin Kombathu' and 'Chandramukhi', the remake of the Malayalam classic 'Manichithra Thaazhu'.

With recent reports that have come in saying that 'Kuselan' has managed only a lukewarm opening, the decision and announcement about remaking 'One Way Ticket' might go under the scanner.

Prabhu Deva said "Villu" will be as successful as "Pokiri"

Prabhu Deva is directing Vijay for the film 'Villu' and the dance master-turned actor-turned director is more than confident about the movie's prospects at the box office. When asked if 'Villu' will be as successful as 'Pokiri', the director said he hopes it will be three times more vibrant than 'Pokiri'.

When asked about big names such as Vadivelu and Nayantara in the film, Prabhu Deva said, 'When Vijay was confirmed for the project, one of my assistants literally begged me to cast Nayantara in the film. His desire seems to be working wonderfully well and the film is shaping up very well'.

'The film would start off in a pleasant way in a picturesque habitat and jovial manner with family, friends and lorry loads of fun. A gory incident takes place and the action begins. Vijay would be awesome in these scenes. Songs and fights have come out impressively and I am very happy with things'.

Talking about Nayantara in the film, Prabhu Deva gives a sneak peek of her introduction scene. 'When you are running for cover after it starts raining and then you find a beautiful girl with an umbrella standing in the rain inviting you the share the umbrella with her, how would you feel?' asks the director.

Well, Nayantara might just have to dance in the rain once again after 'Kuselan'.

When asked about Prabhu Deva's Hindi remake of 'Pokiri' featuring Salman Khan, the expert dancer turned director says, 'it has been about seven years since Salman had acted in an action packed film. He has performed extremely well and the movie is sure to be exciting'.

It is interesting to note that Prabhu Deva is directing Vijay for 'Villu' while his elder brother Raju Sundaram is directing Ajith in 'Aegan'.

So who are the real competitors? Vijay and Ajith or Prabhu Deva and Raju Sundaram? We'll know soon.

Vijay Next Project to AVM productions

Vijay’s Villu is taking shape and the crew has recently packed their bags and left to Switzerland. Song sequences between Vijay and Nayan are being planned to be shot in exotic locales in the country. Villu is directed by Prabhu Deva and is slated for a late 2008 release.

Meanwhile, Vijay’s next two consecutive projects seem to have been finalized if sources are to be believed. As informed by us earlier, the actor would work for the AVM productions venture, produced by AVM Balakrishnan. The next project after that, which would be Vijay’s 50th movie, is to be produced by his father’s V.V. Creations. An official announcement and further details in this regard are awaited.

This Year Deepavali Will Be A Great Competitions

Two polar are going to compete each other for this Deepavali after a long gap.

Ajith and Vijay project themselves as close friends; they are bitter enemies in their career competitions. We have seen how Vijay made Trisha to pull down Ajith's cut-out during last Deepavali.

Since Ajith goes selective, Aegan will be creating flutters when released for Deepavali. Vijay's movies are doing very bad in theaters in recent times and he wants to give a break through Vil which is being released on Deepavali day.

This year Deepavali will be a great boon to the fans of both the stars and for sure there will be street quarrels between both!
