Genelia has said that she is back to the Velyautham sets for the climax scene. The actress has said that director Jayam Raja has planned an elaborate climax and is filming it with the lead stars. Vijay, Genelia, Hansika and others are shooting together and this shooting is expected to go on for a week or so before Raja wraps it up completely.
Soon after Velayutham shooting is over, Vijay will move over to Nanban shooting which is currently going on in Europe.
With Velayutham shooting reaching the final stages, the audio launch and film release dates are expected to be announced very soon.
After tasting a defeat with ‘Nenu Naa Rakshasi’, Rana Daggubati is getting ready for another film to be directed by Prakash Tholeti and produced by Paruchuri Kireeti on the banner of United Movies.
The director roped in Genelia as heroine opposite Rana, who also received a failure like ‘Orange’ wherein she paired up opposite Ram Charan.
The latest buzz from the Film Nagar is that the Rana-Genelia starrer would hit the floors on May 6 and the film is being launched with a working title of ‘Naa Ishtam’ and the director is planning to bring out the film as a romantic entertainer with love story in its backdrop.
Vijay’s Velayudham shooting has been wrapped up except a song and few action sequences. The latest we hear from the film unit is that Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Genelia are going to fly to Europe for the shoot of the song.
Velayudham directed by Jayam Raja stars Vijay and Genelia D’Souza in lead roles while Hansika Motwani and Saranya Mohan plays supporting roles. The music for the film has been scored by Vijay Antony while it is being produced by Aascar Ravichandran.
Velayudham is expected to release big on June 22 which is on Vijay’s Birthday.
The next Vijay blockbuster is gearing for release. ‘Velayudham,’ a product of director Jayam Raja is 80% complete. The film has actor Vijay as the hero with Genelia, Hansika Motwani, and Saranya Mohan as the lead ladies. Most of director’s films have oodles of family sentiment mixed with the right amount of comedy, great songs and beautiful locales.
Sources close to the film’s unit have revealed that the team will soon be heading to an undisclosed overseas location for shooting a couple of songs. They have also revealed that the post-production work is also being carried out simultaneously. The film which set off on a positive note post Vijay’s huge success in his ‘Kavalan’ will be released by mid-2011.
Post the success of ‘Kavalan’ there is a lot of expectation on Vijay and now with the actor signing films with directors Shankar and Mani Ratnam the fans of the actor are already in high spirits. Sources close to the director have revealed that this film is a superhero subject. This news will be a bonanza for all Vijay fans who would love to see their favorite star scaling multistoried buildings and rescuing damsels in distress.
The music for this film has been scored by Vijay Antony. He was nominated by Vijay TV for the best music director award for his compositions in ‘Vettaikaran.’ The music was a rage among young children and youth. We hope Vijay Antony repeats history with this film too. Sources close to the composer revealed that he has given his best shot in ‘Velayudham.’
