Vijay is 50th Film

Vijay, who accepts offers based on the talents of the director and never cares about how fame the director is.

Vijay and Prabhu Deva change Nayantara

Tiff over Trisha and Nayantara never seems to be ending and media channels are have been centering on their issue over for a long time. Nayantara was supposed to be pairing up with Vijay for the film Kuruvi and somehow Trisha with her professional ethics replaced her.

Then he narrated how the role landed in Nithin Sathay's hands. He said when his father discussed the film's story with him, he found the subject to contain the thrill of Thirupachi or Sivakasi. He thought he would work on the subject later as he was occupied with quite a lot of films at that point. But after a few days, his father told him that he has decided to cast Nithin Sathya in the lead, to which Vijay happily agreed. When Chandrasekhar spoke, he said that he could have very well waited for Vijay, but he decided not to because he was afraid of working with Vijay. He said that Vijay has grown in stardom, but he is still the same old strict director. He said his strictness could create friction between them, which he wanted to avoid.

Villu vijay and Nayantara

'Ilaya Thalapathy' Vijay is busy shooting for 'Villu'. The movie, directed by Prabhudeva and produced by Ayngaran Films International, kicked off in Karaikudi recently. A number of scenes featuring Vijay and Nayantara were shot in Karaikudi. And now the buzz is that the crew would shoot a major portion of the film in Italy. The script involves a foreign country in the second half and so the crew will be heading for Italy this July. Sources close to Prabhu Deva reveal that he has also planned to shoot two song sequences in exotic Italy. It sure would be interesting to see Vijay chasing and hunting down the baddies in this European country. Nayantara sizzled with her attitude and attractive modern costumes in 'Billa' and the movie was set in Malaysia. So, foreign destinations suit her big time and with Nayantara on song now, one can expect Prabhu Deva to exploit her talents. Vijay and Nayantara on the prowl in Italy….sounds interesting.

Vijay is Kuruvi 50days completed

Director Dharani's earlier project Ghilli with Vijay and Trisha was a blockbuster victory that had set some kind of fast paced mood, tempo and expectations about this duo in the minds of their fans. They entered the theatre this evening eagerly to catch this maiden production venture of Udhaynidhi Stalin's Red Giants Movies - produced Kuruvi. The secrecy shrouding the story of the film had also helped in escalating its anticipations to a barometric high. Producer Udhaynidhi has spent generously which is perceptible in the lavish sets, colorful junior artists, graphics etc. Dharani's favorite music composer Vidyasagar's tunes are already a hit and the melodious 'then then' number is a revelation, both visually and acoustically. Trisha is at her glamorous best. Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman do not have meaty enough roles to prove their mettle. Camera work and editing is slick. Vivek, who accompanies Vijay, provides occasional comic relief. If you go to see Kuruvi with lowered expectations, you may end up liking it. But those who are looking for big build-up sequences and large Ghilli-like payoffs - stay away. Kuruvi - Mega Hit Movie Vasool chakkaravarthi : vijay

The latest buzz is that Nayantara, the hot figure in Tamil film industry, has accepted to do the lead lady role against Vijay in his next movie. Her next project with Dhanush, Yaaradi Nee Mohini is set to hit the screens soon and the lady has been swamped with plum assignments. Earlier she had missed the opportunity to be paired with Ilaya Thalapathy in Kuruvi by a whisker to Trisha. But now she is making up for all the lost offers. Nayanthara plays as Vijay's lady love for the first time in her career. Though she appeared in an item number in Sivakasi along with the actor, she is yet to play as his lady in any of the films. Her name was considered for the lead role in Vijay's Kuruvi at the earlier stage. But suddenly Trisha came to her place. Meanwhile Nayan's kitty is full with prestigious offers in the form of Kuselan with super star, Aegan with Ajith and now with Vijay too. The lady's career is certainly on an enviable path.

Actress Nayanthara Bags Impressive Role With Vijay

The career graph of Nayanthara, the beautiful actress from Kerala, has been increasingly climbing with plum coursework in her kitty. She began her Tamil innings in Aiyya with Sarathkumar and went on to do the role of Durga in Chandramukhi who wooed the Super star. Her 'balalaika' number in Sivaji has enabled her to capitalize her position in the industry very well. Now, with Billa, expectations have reached an all time high and the stills of the film reveal a svelte and suave Nayan. She is on an enviable track now with projects like 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini' with Dhanush and Sathyam with Vishal. She has been carving a niche for herself in Tollywood too where she has been paired with admired actors like Nagarjuna and Ravi Teja to name a few. She was in the fray for the role of Vijay's heroine in Kuruvi but missed it narrowly to Trisha. However her patience seems to have paid off as she has signed on the dotted line for an unnamed project to be directed by Prabhu Deva with Ilaya Thalapathy as the hero. Vijay will join Prabhu Deva after he wraps up Dharani's Kuruvi. The grouping of Vijay and Nayan under Prabhu Deva's direction is something to look forward to.

Vijay and Vadivelu

Seems like Vijay has missed his combination scenes with Vadivelu in Kuruvi so much that he left no stones unturned to make sure he is a part of his next venture. According to sources close to producers, Vadivelu has been roped in for Vijay's next Prabhu Deva directed project for jaw dropping astronomical sums. It is also said that Vadivelu has had to amend his commitments for other already agreed projects to make room for Vijay.

Nayan plays opposite Vijay for this venture produced by Ayngaran International. The movie will have Ravi Varman's camera and Devi Sri Prasad's music. Prabhu Deva is currently busy with the Salman starrer Hindi Pokkiri. Official announcement regarding the Vijay – Nayan venture is expected to be out soon

Kuruvi - Movie Review

Director Dharani's earlier project Ghilli with Vijay and Trisha was a blockbuster victory that had set some kind of fast paced mood, tempo and expectations about this duo in the minds of their fans. They entered the theatre this evening eagerly to catch this maiden production venture of Udhaynidhi Stalin's Red Giants Movies - produced Kuruvi. The secrecy shrouding the story of the film had also helped in escalating its anticipations to a barometric high.

Scaling high-rise buildings, bowing down to bullets elegantly, Kuruvi opens with Vijay in his best nonchalant style, sending his fans into raptures. If the same care and hard work that had gone into rendering a weighty build up for Vijay had also been employed in the story department, it would have been a Ghilli-like encore for this team. As it happens, Kuruvi flies short of Ghilli. 

Vijay having to free his father and his colleagues who have been trapped as slaves under villains Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman forms the crux of Kuruvi. The director has attempted to ride on the twin horses of action and comedy, moving the film at a very rapid pace, while simultaneously depicting Vijay at his humorous best. However, his objective seems to be too elusive and the film sags at various levels. 

Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman (Sivaji fame) are compatriots in the quarry business who have given out a contract to Vijay's dad, Manivannan, in Cudappa, Andhra Pradesh. Diamonds that are otherwise only found in Africa are said to be located in this area, but the government issues a ban to excavate the place owing to the risk of earthquakes. But the baddies force Manivannan to go against the law and make him and his group bonded laborers. Manivannan challenges the villains that his son would avenge him once he learns of this. But Vijay, who is in Chennai, thinks that his dad has gone under cover due to debts and is hopeful of his return one day. Meanwhile, a cheque for 50 lakhs that Manivannan had issued as collateral towards the house, bounces-forcing Vijay to vacate their house. Vijay asks the landlords a week's time to pay back the money and sets out on a mission to Malaysia to find the person whose signature is on the cheque.

He travels to Malaysia as a kuruvi- one who is used as a runner to carry and bring back goods. There he runs into Suman's residence. A scuffle with him results in Vijay stealing Suman's diamond in a Zorro-like costume which leaves Trisha,-Suman's sister, in a mesmerizing trance. She promptly falls in love. Along with her brother, she lands in Chennai in search of Vijay. Each of them search, but with different objectives. How the lead stars reach their respective goals forms the rest of the story.

Producer Udhaynidhi has spent generously which is perceptible in the lavish sets, colorful junior artists, graphics etc. Dharani's favorite music composer Vidyasagar's tunes are already a hit and the melodious 'then then' number is a revelation, both visually and acoustically. Trisha is at her glamorous best. Ashish Vidyarthi and Suman

do not have meaty enough roles to prove their mettle. Camera work and editing is slick. Vivek, who accompanies Vijay, provides occasional comic relief.

If you go to see Kuruvi with lowered expectations, you may end up liking it. But those who are looking for big build-up sequences and large Ghilli-like payoffs - stay away.

The Mozha Mozhannu song, sung by Kay Kay and Anuradha Sriram, is in the eye of the storm for it contains the name Thillaiaadi Valliamma in its lyrics. Although no derogatory references or remarks have been made, the mere mention of the freedom fighter's name has drawn flak from certain sections of the society.

Kuruvi song in trouble

The audio release of Kuruvi, directed by Dharani and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, took place in Little Flower Convent, Chennai. Ghilli's successful team, comprising Vijay, Trisha, Dharani and Vidyasagar, is coming together again in this romance-action entertainer.

Recently, a song from Kuruvi has stirred up a storm in a teacup. 'Mozhamozhannu' belted out by Kay Kay and Anuradha Sriram, is a typical folk song with a traditional folksy touch. The song is punchy and in Vijay's signature style.

'Thilaiyadi Valliyamayi' is the line in the song 'Mozhamozhannu' that's caught the moral police's attention. Since 'Thilaiyadi Valliyamayi' is the name of a freedom fighter, an objection was raised. P. Vijay, the lyricist, has come forward to apologize for hurting any sentiments, saying that since they weren't aware of the fact and the name rhymed with the tune of the song, it was incorporated in the song.

The makers have assured the public that the name 'Thilaiyadi Valliyamayi' would be removed henceforth.

Kuruvi Remake of ‘Transporter’?

Kuruvi Remake of 'Transporter'?

The Vijay-Trisha starrer Kuruvi is supposedly inspired by the Hollywood blockbuster Transporter! The English flick is a pacey action-packed movie that has jason statham in the lead. Jason plays a man on a mission – where he needs to physically transport a person from one place to another, without anyone's knowledge, of course. But Jason has a bunch of rules he never breaks, no matter what. Well, the script seems easy enough to adapt to Kollywood style by throwing in a couple of deadly stunts and love scenes, of course!


But then, this could just be one of those half-baked truths!!

Kamal, Vijay, Ajith, Vikram in Rajini’s Kuseylan

Om Shanthi Om, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer, which was last year's biggest Bollywood block-buster, featured a song in which 31 major Hindi film stars came together to shake a leg with SRK. And now taking a lead from the film, Kollywood director P.Vasu, who is known to have tremendous goodwill in this industry, plans to rope in major stars for his forthcoming film kuseylan, which stars Rajinikanth.

In OSO, the song is based on the situation where SRK's character (an actor) wins an award and throws a party, which is attended by all major stars. As Vasu's film is also about an who rises to 'super' stardom, he plans to approach stars like Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Ajith, Vikram, and Trisha for a special song in the Tamil version of the film. Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu, Balakrishna and others are being approached for the Telugu version of this song. K.Balachandar (kuseylan's Producer) is regarded as a mentor for both Rajinikanth as well as Kamal Haasan. Sources said that as P.Vasu is close to both, Kamal would approve his role without hesitation. When contacted by media, Vasu agree that there was a plan to come up with a special song, but said it was in its primitive stages. "Once things are confirmed, we would make an announcement," he said.

Kuruvi Vijay as an smuggler in malasiya








Kuruvi is flying high! This film's shooting is progressing at a rapid pace and the latest report is that Dharani, Vijay, Trisha and the rest of the Kuruvi team have taken off to Malaysia to can a song sequence. The song will supposedly be a high point of the movie. Looks like Tamil Nadu is not the only place that has people excited about Kuruvi, for the Malaysian government has also extended near unconditional support to the Kuruvi team for shooting.

Sources say that the team has access to areas that had been considered out of bounds for shootings and other such activities. Malaysia is certainly doing everything to promote itself as a friendly destination for the film industry to capture some scenic locations. They had earlier given similar support to the 2006 Hindi blockbuster Krish.

Moving on to other news about Kuruvi, reliable sources have given a brief but exciting insight into the plot of Kuruvi and from what we have heard it is going to be a thrill-a-minute ride for all of us. Here is what we got to know about the Kuruvi story.

Vijay plays a courier delivery guy in Kuruvi. The courier is being used as a safe transit route for many illegal substances like narcotics by a smuggling gang and Vijay and the rest of the courier firm is unaware of this. Fate lands Vijay, carrying one such parcel with smuggled goods, in jail. How he extricates himself from this mess and manages to bring the gang, headed by a respected name in the society, to the fore is being told in this thrill-a-minute chase story.

Suman, who epitomized the 'all white' clad villain in Sivaji is back doing the familiar role yet again, flashing the 'Close Up' smile and running an empire of crime. The story is said to be full of adventurous escapades of Vijay from the police, engaging chases and a race against time to prove his innocence and capturing the gang red-handed. A plot that is reminiscent of the breakneck chase sequence that was the highlight of his earlier film Ghilli.

Kuruvi on a Chopper


Actor Vijay

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 pasteurized 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.

It's a nice experience for me to work with Vijay. Since Kuruvi is my first production, he taught me many things. He is simple, delightful and friendly, says Udayanidhi Stalin, grandson of Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, who is making his foray as a producer in Kuruvi.
Heaping praise on the actor, Udyanidhi says, 'when I approached with the idea, he immediately gave his consent. But this was before two years. I had to wait till 2007 to start the works, as he is busy with prior commitments. It's my enjoyment to work with him.'

Vijay Plays Censor!

Hero Vijay is now busy with his latest film 'Kuruvi'. After watching the rushes, Vijay has donned the role of a censor. He has optional some cuts. Most of them pertain to his action scenes. Vijay feels that some scenes are too dreamlike, even for his die-hard fans.
Hence he wants some of the actions scenes to be either chopped or toned down. Just goes to show that Vijay has his ears pressed firmly to the ground. In an age when heroes want bigger and bigger fights and stunts, Vijay seems to hold a absolutely opposite view, very sensible, but grounded in reality!
