Having been chased out of Kerala, this glamour actress depends on this Vijay film for her comeback.
At one time, she acted with top actors like Mammootty and Mohanlal. She does not get any more comedy roles in Tamil and Telugu either. She does not want to do films that run only morning shows. Now, thanks to Vijay, she’s back in the reckoning.
She has a role in ‘Azhagiya Thamizhmagan’ starring Vijay. She has no earth shaking role in it, it’s just a small role. But she feels that even this one small role in a Vijay film could help erase her old image and set her on a new path.
She has got a nice role in a Malayalam film too. She acts as her own self as actress Shakila in a Mohanlal film. Mohanlal plays an auto driver, who is an ardent fan of Shakila. A scene where he attends a shooting of Shakila has been shot recently. Once this film is released, Shakila hopes she will get more Malayalam film offers.
May her dreams come true!

Everything was in place for the fairytale reunion of a hugely successful team. Dharani, Vijay and Vidyasagar had already decide that it was time for Round 2 and the only person missing from the days of Ghilli was Trisha; well, not any more. She has joined the party.
We had earlier reported the coming together of Dharani, Vijay and Vidyasagar for a movie that will commence after Azhagiya Thamizh Magan. Udayanithi, grandson of CM M.Karunanidhi will be producing this film. Udayanithi has already thrown a party to mark the confirmation of the project. Now that Trisha too has joined in, the work has started.
It is being said that Vidyasagar has already finished composing one song for the movie. The official launch of this movie is expected to be held on the Tamil New Year’s Day. Looking at the scheduled start of the movie it can be expected to hit screens for Pongal 2008.
What is the movie going to be like? Well, when the Ghilli team comes together there is only one thing that the movie can be; racy entertainer.

It was a unique meet, at Tiruvananthapuram SL theatre complex, on March 20. Our Ilayathalapathy Vijay flew down from Chennai to celebrate the 75th day run of his Pokkiri at the theatre complex. Malayalam action hero Suresh Gopi ,gave away the memento to Vijay. 
The film is the highest collecting Tamil film and has also created new records. Suresh Gopi said: – “My son is a big fan of Vijay, he is really a superstar`. There was a huge crowd outside the theatre as people waited hours to just have a glimpse of Vijay.
Vijay was all smiles throughout the function. The theatre where the function was held is situated near Thampanoor area, in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram. Due to the large crowds, traffic on the main road went totally out of control, as the masses surged to the venue. Police had to use mild force to control the crowds.

After Pokkiri’s success was celebrated in Tamil Nadu, Vijay moved to other states mainly Kerala where Pokkiri recorded the biggest hit as far as Tamil Movies are concerned. A function was organized to celebrate its success in Kerala. Vijay along with the producer Ramesh Babu were invited to the function.
All arrangements were done with the help of fan club associations in Kerala. Fans are overwhelmed with the success of Pokkiri. The situation was uncontrollable in Kerala when Vijay arrived. He is becoming a hot hero in Kerala when compared to the heroes of his generation. The fans welcomed Vijay in a very grand manner with the customary whistles, crackers, etc.
Vijay wished all his fans for the success of Pokkiri in Kerala. He told that he was very happy to be here. He said he got a huge response from his fans. So he will have to fulfill future expectations of his fans and the responsibility on him increases with each success.
Shields for Pokkiri’s success were distributed to the people concerned. Malayalam’s star actor Suresh Gopi was the chief guest of the function. He came and wished Vijay for the mega success of Pokkiri. The function took place at Atulya theatre, Trivandrum. The Pokkiri distributor wished Vijay to do more films in the coming future.
Pokkiri now stands as the biggest Tamil hit movie in Kerala. It would take a big effort to break Pokkiri’s record in the coming days. We hope Azhagiya Thamizh Magan would be the next movie to break Pokkiri’s record in Kerala, as per Vijay’s words.

While many directors are after Vijay for his call sheet, Vijay himself has approached 2 directors.
Vijay has been celebrating the success of ‘Pokkiri’ with his fans in places like Madurai and Tuticorin. He next went to Thiruvananthapuram.’ Pokkiri’ was released here in 3 theatres and is still doing very well.
Vijay’s films are getting a great response in Kerala, sometimes even eclipsing Mohanlal or Mammootty’s films. That’s why the Malayalam film industry is considering a total ban on Tamil films.
Vijay is always ready to give interview to Malayalam media and TV channels. Last week also, his interview ran for 2 days. Participating at the ‘Pokkiri’ function in SN Theatre at Thiruvananthapuram, Vijay gave some exclusive comments.
* I have no idea why I am so welcome in Kerala!
* I will learn Malayalam well and act in Malayalam films.
* My favorite Malayalam actors are Mohanlal and Mammootty.
* I won’t change my get-up. And I will act with my own money.
Apart from these surprising comments, Vijay said his favorite directors are Mani Ratnam and Bharatiraja. “I have been asking them for performance opportunities,” he said.
Are Mani Ratnam and Bharatiraja listening?

It takes a lot to come out in praise of a fellow actor, especially when it is considered to be a rare phenomenon in Tami cinema. However, looks like Vijay has evolved out of this cultural barrier. In the audio release event of Madurai Veeran held in Chennai on March 18, 2007 at the Satyam theatres, Vijay was all praises for Jithen Ramesh who plays the lead. Vijay released the first copy of the audio, which was received by Jeyam Ravi, Jeeva, Bharath, Sibi, and Arun Vijay after which trailer of the movie was exhibited for the audience. Trailer was released by Film Chamber head K.R.G, Producer Council Supremo Rama Narayanan, and Distributors Council head Arulpathy and received by Bhagyaraj.
Vijay, after being obviously impressed with the dancing skills of Ramesh, in his address said that Ramesh’s dance performance is remarkable. “He is really good at it and I wish him all the best,” stated the actor. “I had earlier seen him in Jithen and he has improved quite a lot with this. He will be someone to look forward to in the future,” declared Vijay. Given the dancing prowess of Vijay, his applaud is worth a mention in Jithen’s profile; agree?
The event was also attended by Srikanth Deva, Vincent Selva, Perarasu, Amir, Jananathan, producers Sayed, and R.B. Chaudhury.

Vijay does not talk much. If he does, he creates a sensation.
As previously conducted at Madurai, the celebration of ‘Pokkiri’s’ successful run was celebrated at Tuticorin, and Vijay was the chief guest.
As usual, questions were asked about his getups and Vijay continued to maintain that he was not interested in changing his get-ups. Would he act in other regional languages? “Definitely not!”
During Vijay’s film release as well as at the film function, many DMK supporters have been seen along with Vijay fans. MK Stalin’s son Udayanidhi is Vijay’s friend and Vijay is to act in a film produced by him.
Does this mean Vijay would enter politics sometime in the future?
This made Vijay shrink back in horror! “I have fans in all parties.
Politics will not work for me,” said Vijay.
Would he consider acting in a film with Ajith? Without hesitation Vijay replied that if such a suitable story was presented to him, he definitely would. One could almost infer that such an opportunity would hardly materialize!
At the function, Vijay handed mementos to theatre owners in Tuticorin and Kumari districts.
A good news for Vijay fans. This year end, Ilaya Dalapathy is to do a dual role in a film.
