The administrators of Vijay Fans Network made an effort to catch up with some people involved in Villu. They have given us an exclusive interview about the movie and also about our star Ilayathalapathy Vijay. A few lines from the interview.

The director Prabhu Deva is teaming up with Vijay for the second time after the great success of Pokkiri. He is very upbeat about the movie and is sure to repeat the success mantra. Currently he is working on the post production and it was nice on his part to spare some time for this interview. When asked about working with Vijay he says, “Many say working with a mass actor is very difficult but I beg to differ. Working with Vijay is very easy and each and every experience with Vijay is jovial. He is a very understanding and is very good at reproducing it though his body language. Vijay is full of energy that he will be seen like another MGR.” When asked about Villu and the co-stars Prabhu Deva says, “Villu has all ingredients to become a Vijay Movie. The story has Vijay with a heavy heart with the feelings being expressed sensationally at the climax. I can be sure that the movie will be interesting throughout.  Along with Vijay we have Nayanthara and Vadivelu. Devi Sri Prasad has given a good music for the movie. The other plus will be the exotic locations where the movie is shot.”

Nayanthara is very happy to have acted with Vijay after a long wait. This is how she expressed her dreams on acting with Vijay, “When I first came to tamil cinema, I always wanted to act with Vijay. As days passed by I felt that it would take a long time for my dream to come true. But one day Perarasu sir called and asked me to do a dance number with Vijay. I immediately accepted the offer as I always loved to dance with Vijay. I always admired Vijay’s expressions and speed at dancing. The song was memorable as it was sung by Vijay’s mom too. After this I was offered to act in some films with Vijay which I could not complete due to my prior commitments. But this time I have been lucky with Villu. Prabhu Deva sir has taken utmost care that each and every scene is filmed with perfection. The most difficult part for me was dancing with Vijay. He bends his body like rubber. I had to reduce 5Kgs to match with Vijay’s dance. The romance scenes of the movie have also come out exceptionally well.” Nayanthara says she has got a very good role in the movie and is expecting to catch a place in the heart of Vijay fans with this movie. Also she is expecting to do more and more movies with Vijay in the lead.

Mr. Karunamoorty who has produced Villu has also distributed more than 30 Vijay movies in the FMS. When asked about Vijay he says, “Vijay is a great person and a perfectionist. He is very hard working and dedicated to his work. I had experienced this during Villu shooting. One day the shoot was very hectic that we had to shoot till late night and the shoot next day was to start at 7 in the morning. I was a little late to wake up and was surprised to Vijay already at the shooting spot. He was looking very fresh and energetic too. His dedication to work simply amazed me and it is this dedication that has made him reach heights at this very young age. Earlier when Rajeev Menon was proceeding with Kandukondein Kandukondein I tried to do a film with Vijay and it was successful only now. Villu is an outright commercial film. Vijay and Prabhu Deva have worked hard for the movie with the crew and I am sure that it will breaks all records set by Pokkiri. Also Ayngaran International is looking forward to produce more films with Vijay in the lead.” On Vijay popularity outside India he says, “Right from Nalaya Theerpu, Vijay has more fans next to Rajini in FMS. These fans are not only youth but family members too. It is sure that after Rajini it is none other than Vijay.”

Mr. Arun Pandian is one of the most sought producers now days. He had excelled in acting and direction before venturing into production. He is also a producer for Villu. On Villu and Vijay he says, “Villu is sure to exploit all the talents of Vijay. Vijay has done exceptionally well in the movie. Nayanthara has been very cooperative and the movie will overcome all our expectations and will be a silver jubilee for me and Ayngaran too. “

The music director Devi Sri Prasad popularly known as DSP says, “Vijay has made a great impression in this film and his dance will be the talk of the town. I have tuned the songs keeping Vijay’s dance in the mind.” When DSP approached Kovai Sarala to sing few lines in the album she immediately said, “Vijay’s songs are always a huge hit and I am ready to sing for his movie.” Similarly DSP has made Vadivelu sing along with Tippu in a song as he felt that Vadivelu has the grace that could make the song a big hit. Also he has made Mamtha Mohandas sing a peppy number in the album. The pick of the album was Jalsa… which was sung by Hindi Pop Singer, Baba Seghal. The recording was scheduled to be during the Mumbai terror attacks. So DSP, understanding the singers position accepted to postpone the recording. Immediately Baba Seghal said, “I like the tune very much and I will come and sing for sure.” This commitment shocked DSP and the recording went on as scheduled.

Finally coming to our star Ilayathalapathy Vijay. Well we did not get an interview from him but just got a fact. What is Vijay’s Favourite song? Vijay was impressed by DSP’s work for telugu movie Jalsa especially the title number “Jalsa… Jalsa…” and hence approached DSP to use it in Villu. DSP was very happy to hear this and immediately accepted it. DSP also retained Baba Seghal who sang in the original version. Currently we can say that this is one of the best songs of the album and Vijay’s choice has not let him down.

The Villu team is gearing up for the release of the movie and all are hoping that the magic of Pokkiri is recreated. Vijay and his co-stars are pretty confident about the success of the movie. So for this Pokkiri Pongal, Vijay fans are gonna experience a Visual Treat with Villu.
