| Virudhagiri,
the 153rd film of the three-decade-old actor-politician
Vijayakanth, is set to be screened in theatres
from 10th December 2010. It is worth mentioning
that this is the directorial venture of
Vijayakanth, produced from his home banner
Captain Cine creations. This movie is releasing
at a time when political dramas with interesting
scenes and innuendos seem to be the talk
of the day. It does |

evoke interest to know if the storyline and script would
have a strong flavor favoring his political stand.
Vijayakanth once again embraces his favorite role of
a police officer, which he has time and again portrayed
during his earlier days in Kollywood. He has also been
adored in his cop roles by people when he neatly used
to fit into the character. Those were earlier days when
he was only an actor but today as a politician, his
projection as well as his fans’ expectations is
sure to vary being no way related to his earlier emotions.
Anyhow sources claim that this role as a cop is definitely
going to be distinct from his earlier similar versions.
Captain not only dons the role of a debut director but
has also handled the screenplay and script as well,
which all the more increases the expectations of an
ocean of punch dialogues to create a special genre structured
to get closer to the public and to meet the demands
of the fast approaching elections.
The movie’s name is taken from the deity Viruthagireeshwarar
of Virudhachalam, Vijayakanth’s constituency.
Produced by LK Sudeesh for Captain Cine Creations that
has produced films like Narasimha, Sudesi, Vallarasu,
Thennavan and Arasangam, it has dialogues penned by
Velumani and cinematography handled by SK Boopathy.
A Bangalore model Madhuri Idaki and Meenakshi Dikshit
share the screen with Captain. Arun Pandian, Mansoor
Ali Khan, Peeli Sivam, Kalai Rani, Uma Padmanabhan,
Shanmugarajan and comedy actor Shams play supportive
roles while the villain’s garb has been worn by
Shankar from Mumbai. Far-east countries like Malaysia,
Hong Kong, Bangkok, etc have been chosen as favorite
locations for major part of the movie’s shooting.
The movie has music by Sundar C Babu. The audio of 'Virudhagiri'
was launched in a glittering function at Chennai Trade
Centre on November 22 graced by Cheran, Hansraj Saxena,
Lingusamy, Mansoor Ali Khan, Snehan, Monica, Sathyaraj,
SV Shekar and Vijayakanth's political party members.
The movie has 5 songs which are doing fairly good in
the market today. The number that is ringing aloud for
various reasons, of course dominated by the fact that
it is singer SP Balasubramaniam’s rendition goes
like ‘Yezhaigal Thozha Vaa Vaa’, the ultimatum
of which is propaganda.
‘Virudhagiri’ is knocking the screens on
December 10, 2010 all over the world. Let us wait and
see this movie’s intention: A crowd entertainer
or a political statement? Already interested?
