Ilayathalapathy’s next is with AR Murugadoss

After the immense success of Ghajini in Tamil and Hindi, every star dreams of working with director AR Murugudoss. It was earlier reported that Murugadoss would direct Ajith soon after completing the Suriya starrer 7aam Arivu but the director denied it.

The news now is that the opportunity to star in the next Murugadoss flick has landed in Vijay’s court. The Ilayathalapathy, who is now associated with several projects including the Shankar directed Nanban, has agreed to a script that Murugadoss came up with.

In fact, Vijay is now very selective about his films and decided on AR Murugadoss as he found it to be very apt for him. This film will be produced by Aascar Ravichandran and SA Chandrasekar with Fox Star chipping in to distribute. The movie is expected to take off after Vijay is free of Nanban.

Happy birthday to Ilayathalapathy!

It’s Vijay’s birthday today! The star was born to ace director SA Chandrasekar and Shoba Chandrasekar on June 22^nd 1974. He had appeared as a child artiste in films directed by his dad and then went on to become a hero.

He debuted as hero in Nalaya Theerpu, directed by his father SA Chandrasekar and since then there is no looking back of this Ilayathalapathy. Having been in the film industry for more that two decades, Vijay is involved in various social welfare activities through his Makkal Iyakkam. There is a strong possibility that this Makkal Iyakkam could be converted into a political outfit.

Vijay is currently busy with Velayutham and Nanban. Velayutham is slated to hit the screens before the Shankar-directed Nanban.

We wish the Ilayathalapathy many more happy returns of the day!

Happy birthday maestro Ilaiyaraja!

Ilaiyaraja celebrates his 68^th birthday today! He is not just a music composer but an accomplished singer and lyricist as well. Ilaiyaraja forayed into the film industry with the film Anna Kili in 1976 and since then there was no looking back.

Though Ilaiyaraja predominantly works in Tamil films, his compositions in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi films have also turned out to be chartbusters. He has scored over 4500 songs in 950 films so far and has received several prestigious awards in the international, national and state levels.

It may be noted here that Ilaiyaraja’s son Yuvan Shankar Raja has also carved a niche for himself in the tinsel town.

We wish the living legend a very happy birthday and many more to come!
