Illayathalapathy Vijay is currently busy with Kaavalkaran opposite Asin, directed by Siddique of Friends fame. Meanwhile he has already announced his next project Velayutham directed by Jayam Raja. Interestingly Vijay will have two heroines—Genelia and Hansika—in Velayutham and will play a fictitious man of the masses created by a female journalist. The film is rumoured to be a remake of Nagarjuna’s Telugu hit Azad (2000), which was inspired from Amitabh Bachchan’s 1989 flop Main Azad Hoon, which was again inspired from Frank Capra’s 1941 classic Meet John Doe!
The latest addition to the crew list is cinematographer Madhi of Paiyaa fame. Madhi is currently busy with Karthi’s Naan Mahan Alla.
