Monday, 08 November 2010Vijay who is known for his love stories on screen is back with Siddique’s Kaavalan, a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster hit Bodyguard. It’s been a while since we saw Vijay in movies like Kadhalukku Mariyathai, Kushi, Thullatha Manamum Thullum and Priyamanavale. After Ghilli proved to be successful at the box office, Vijay decided to do more action oriented roles. But his recent releases such as Kuruvi, Vettaikaaran and Sura didn’t generate the collections they were expected to. It is true to an extent that Suriya and Jayam Ravi have taken a large share of the family audience. This is because both Vijay and Ajith concentrated more on satisfying their fans rather than the general audience by playing characters labeled as ‘mass heroes’.
With Kaavalan, Vijay is confident that he will once more be the numero uno as far as box office collections are concerned. Kaavalan is a movie which Vijay was supposed to do long time back, but he had to keep postponing it. But, thanks to director Siddique it has happened now. The movie has all the ingredients that are required for a family entertainer including an excellent screenplay, foot-tapping songs by Vidyasagar and amazing performances by Vijay and Asin that will steal your heart!
Kaavalan will re-create the comedy magic of Vijay and Vadivelu that we saw in Friends. The comedy will be a roller-coaster fun filled ride for the audience and will tickle their bones!
Produced by Ramesh Babu, the movie will be released by director Shakthi Chidambaram’s Cinema Paradise. The movie which was slated for a Deepavali release, will now hit the screens in December. The audio launch is scheduled for mid of November.
