Ilayathalapathy

Rumour are circulating that Vijay’s new film directed by Prabhu Deva is going to be a remake of the Hindi film Soldier. Vijay usually does the remake of Telugu hits; so has he changed language this time?

Ajit’s Billa, a remake of the 80's hit Billa with Rajinikanth in the lead was a copy of the SRK starrer Don, which was again a remake the 80's hit with Amitabh Bachan as the hero. It says that Ajit’s new film Aegan is a remake of the SRK starrer Mein Hoon Na.

Now Vijay, by appearing in the remake of Soldier, seems to be following the same path as Ajith; Soldier was released in 1998 with Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta in the lead roles. Vijay will have Nayantara as his lady love and shooting will take place at exotic locales of Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Biju Menon will be the villain.



Vijay’s date with Nayanthara in New Zealand!

Vijay's fans were reported to be keenly expecting the official announcement of their star's next project Singam. However, director Hari has once again played spoilsport where the title of the film is concerned by announcing that he has registered the name Singam and Surya would star in it. It is worth mentioning here that prior to this Vijay was keen on the title Seval, but Hari refused to part with it. With the title issue finally being put to rest, Vijay's project with Prabhu Deva is all set to commence during the first week of June. This film, as per unconfirmed reports, will be a remake of the Bollywood blockbuster Soldier. It is said that the first half of the film will be shot in New Zealand and the team, including the lead pair Vijay and Nayanthara, are expected to leave the country sometime in June.
