Aascar Films V Ravichandran’s Diwali offering, ‘Velayudham’ with Vijay on-board as protagonist has been well-accepted by Vijay fans who are happy with his larger than life image.
Now the latest is that, the makers of this film that is being screened at more than 500 theatres across the state are planning for releasing more prints due to the pressure and response from fans!
‘Velayudham producer Aascar films V Ravichandran is happy that his film has made a huge box office hit this Diwali. In fact already Bollywood has approached the Velayudham film producer for the Hindi rights for a great deal’, says an inside source.
‘Velayudham’ featuring Vijay, Hansika Motwani, Genelia D’ Souza has music by Vijay Antony and showcases a commoner turning a messiah for the masses, all for common good.
Life is all about permutations and combinations. Here we have something to prove it. Dhanush, who romanced Genelia D’ Souza in ‘Uthamaputhiran’ and Hansika Motwani in ‘Mappillai’, is expected to share the screen space with both the actresses in his next venture ‘Mareesan’.
Interestingly, this is not the first time for Genelia and Hansika to work together, for they are the leading ladies in the upcoming Deepavali release ‘Velayudham’. There were reports that there was misunderstanding between the two on the sets of the Vijay-starrer.
However, both actresses denied it saying they have equal screen space and they are good friends. Their claim would become true if it becomes official that Hansika and Genelia are the heroines of ‘Mareesan’, directed by Chimbudevan of ‘Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi’ and ‘Irumbukottai Murattu Singam’ fame.
Touted to be a fantasy adventure flick, the shooting of ‘Mareesan’ is expected to start soon. Dhanush, who is currently working for ’3′, a film directed by his wife Aishwarya, is looking forward for the release of ‘Mayakkam Enna’, directed by elder brother Selvaraghavan.
A few action sequences will be shot on Rana Daggubati and others in the third schedule of Naa Ishtam. The schedule which is beginning today will be wrapped up on the 5th of November. Genelia is paired up with Rana in this youth-oriented movie.
Directed by Prakash Tholeti and produced by Parachuri Kirit, the film is being music-directed by Chakri. Brahmanandam, Harshvardhan, Nasser, Raghubabu, Ahuthi Prasad, Ali, Ajay, Master Bharath, Uttej and Chitram Sreenu are playing sidekicks in the movie.
Describing their movie as a “feel-good” entertainer, the makers say that the film has got an item song.
This is the first time that Rana is acting in a film of this genre.
