VIJAY VELAYUDAM INTRODUCTION SCENE

When nothing is revealed about Vijay’s ‘Velayudham’, we take a front leap bringing sensational news about his introduction shot in this movie. Guess what could be his introduction scene. It’s not too heroic, but quite a hilarious one.

It seems that Vijay pulls down the chain in a running train and is held by the railway police and Ticket Collector. He is asked whether to pay the fine or get detrained at the next station. Apparently, his folks from the same town pick out more money than the actual fine cost and beg the ticket collector not to leave him back to their town.
Hah! Very funny, isn’t?

VIJAY VELAYUDAM COSTLIEST INTRO SONG EVER IN VIJAY'S CARRIER-VELAYUDHAM

Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay places great importance on the introductory song in all his movies, but the opening song in Velayudham, produced by Aascar Ravichandran, assumes more significance as it is the first movie release of the actor after his entry into politics.

The buzz is that music director Vijay Antony was given special instructions from director Jayam Raja for the song. Accordingly, the high-action festival kutthu number, which starts with the words Sonna Puriyadhu … Sollukkul Adangadhu … Neenga En Melai Vecchirukkira Paasam was canned with more than 6,000 folk and junior artistes and dancers at Thirumurty Dam near Udumalpet.

While the film cost a whopping Rs 45 crore, the grapevine has it that the song alone cost more than a crore.

Talking to DC, Ascar Ravi said, “The film has shaped up extremely well. Just as Baasha was a milestone in Rajini’s film career, Velayudham will do similar magic for Vijay.”

Asked about the title song, he says, “Yes, we wanted to make it as big as possible and brought about 5,000 junior artistes and more than 1,000 dancers and the best of folk artistes from across the state. The entire village was given a Thiruvizha look by art director Milan. It was shot for about 10 days by dance master Ashok Raja. Each day was like a festival to me because cooking for about 8,000 people for 10 days was not easy. We had booked almost all the nearby hotels in the town and a few marriage halls for their accommodation.”

The prolific producer also revealed that it cost him nothing less than `1.25 crore for the song alone. “But it is worth it!” he exclaims.

VIJAY VELAYUDAM Hanshika's peppy number with vijay in Velayudham


Hansika Motwani, who was in the news for quite a while despite not having had a single release in Tamil, is currently thrilled about opening her K’Town innings with Maapillai, which hit cinemas recently.
“I hope people like me in this film, I am keeping my fingers crossed,” said the gorgeous Hansika, who was recently in town for her upcoming flick Velayudham’s shooting with Vijay.
The Tollywood star seems to enjoy every moment that she’s shooting with Vijay. She said Velayudham was the first film in which she played a village belle, a role totally different from her prior performances. “I play a naïve and bubbly girl from a village. It’s an out-and-out mass masala commercial movie.”
She heaped praise on her costar. “Vijay is a sweet person and a wonderful costar. He is very helpful and we share a great chemistry on screen. His energy levels, especially in songs, are amazing!”
We told her we had heard that she’d done a steamy romantic number with Vijay. She shrugged. “It is part and parcel of cinema. There is a cute sizzling number, but it is not as hot as the rumours make it out to be,” she clarified.
Hansika said that Aascar Productions were treating her like a princess and with so much of positive vibes around she was able to perform better. Didn’t she feel threatened by the presence of another Bollywood heroine Genelia in Velayudham? She shook her head emphatically.
“Oh, no. I have a lot of faith in the script narrated by my director Raja. Moreover, I am playing the love interest of Vijay in Velayudham,” she announced with a triumphant glint in her eyes. The message was clear!
VIJAY VELAYUDAM Santhanam continues his steal on velayudham too


Only recently he played a thief called Kaatupoochi in ‘Siruthai’, in the company of Karthi Sivakumar.

Now Santhanam is playing a similar role in ‘Velayudham’, which has Vijay as protagonist.

“But this one is totally different to the one I did in Siruthai. Because I want to provide variety entertainment to the audience and carefully avoid doing same kind of characters,” the comedian says.
