An interview with Director Raja about Vijay and Velayudham

1) Vijay fans are waiting eagerly for Velayutham. Many of them have ordered fire crackers and waiting eagerly to do the first day milk pooja for Vijay. What can you say for them?


Ilayathalapathy Vijay has did an action rampage festival in Velayutham. It's worth a wait.


2) What is your opinion about making a film with Vijay?

Before 2 years, I met Vijay. He just asked me openly that, "You are always making films with your own brother and giving super hits. Won't you do a film with me?". I was so delighted to hear those words from his mouth and I narrated the story of Velayutham, in which the way i wanted to see Vijay in the silver screen as. At that time there was no political buzz surrounded Vijay.


3) Is there any dialouges in Velayutham to show Vijay as a politician?


In talking about Vijay movies, his fans always go to the theater to see their star's face in the silver screen only. If Vijay is with 500 fans in a spot, He will always pay attention to his fans and love to take photographs with all of them patiently. In Velayutham there is a dialogue, where Vijay says 'En Rasigargalukku onnu na naan aayutham ah maariduven".


4) Who is more responsible for a film's failure? Is it the story of the film or the hero?
The story is the first reason. Then comes the producer of the film. In my opinion, a brave director means, a person who fixes the hero in mind, for whom he is writing the script and makes a perfect story that suits him.


5) Did Velayutham gave the confidence that, it will break all the expectations while producing itself?

There are producers like Aascar Ravichandran, who won't even think about backing off or be scared to invest money to produce a big sum film like Velayutham for a mass hero like Vijay, who has a huge fan base.
