Directed by Siddique, the movie stars Vijay, Asin, Raj Kiran, Vadivelu and Roja.
'Kaavalan', a remake of the Malayalam hit 'Bodyguard', is Vijay's 51st film.
"I always wanted to be part of a sweet, simple and clean love story like 'Kaavalan'," says Asin.
We hear that Vijay shows interest to buy the rights of Telugu hit ‘Brindhavanam’. So the remake of “Brindhavanam” may be the next film of Vijay after “Velayudham”. Brindhavanam had junior NTR, Samantha, Kajal Agarwal, Prakash Raj and others.
Telugu films have never let Vijay down and his plans with remakes have worked out most of the times. But this time, all the films he is acting are remakes. Kaavalan is a remake of Malayalam film “Bodyguard” and Velayudham is a remake of Telugu hit “Azad”. The actor’s “3 idiots” remake with Shankar is nowhere near for confirmation. We have to wait and see whether remakes help Vijay this time.
It was reported in some sections of the press some weeks ago that producer-director Shakthi Chidambaram had acquired the distribution and release rights of the Vijay-Asin starrer ‘Kaavalan’ at a whopping Rs.40 crores.
Not many were aware that Shakti had done so and the news, which appeared in a leading daily, has now stirred a Pandora’s Box! Shakti had earlier taken a loan of Rs.50 lakhs from a nationalized bank to make his ‘Guru Sishyan’. When the Bank came across the news item, they called Shakti over and gave him a verbal ‘dressing down’ as to why wasn’t he repaying the loan when he could acquire a film’s rights at an amount which is more than thirty times the loan amount.
In order to avoid the consistent pressured being applied on him by the Bank to repay the loan he had taken in making ‘Guru Sishyan’. Making full use of his plight, Sun Pictures has moved in for the kill and is said to be demanding Shakti that he sell off the distribution and release rights of ‘Kaavalan’ to them. Still to forget the ‘bitter’ experience when Sun Pictures released his ‘Vettaikaran’, Vijay is reportedly against selling the rights to Sun Pictures. It is, however, believed that Sun Pictures might have the final laugh in the matter!
There are strong rumors in Kollywood that Vijay’s next film has been titled Rascal. Incidentally, this film is the remake of the Hindi blockbuster 3 Idiots. Unconfirmed reports say that the film will be titled Rascal and Shankar will wield the megaphone for it. Sources also say that the shooting of Rascal will begin in November.
Vijay is currently busy with Kaavalan and will move on to Velayudham soon.
While fans of actor Vijay are eagerly awaiting the release of his next movie Kaavalan, comments about the actor on a private television channel has caused distress amongst them. Comments about Vijay on Sunday’s (29 August) episode of Neeya Naana, a discussion forum, aired on Vijay TV is the reason for this, sources inform. Angry Vijay supporters have been expressing their ire through blogs and mails to Vijay TV office in Chennai.
Since Neeya Naana is a program where participants are free to express their views, the channel has not claimed any responsibility for this episode. Being a cool-headed person himself, we are sure actor Vijay will intervene and settle this issue in a peaceful manner.
