Yesteryear heroine Ranjitha, introduced by director Bharathiraja in 'Nadodi Thendral', plays Vijay's mother in 'Villu'.

It may be recalled that yesteryear heroine Geetha played Vijay's mother in 'Sivakasi' and Simran did the same for Surya in 'Varanam Ayiram'.

Now it is Ranjitha's turn to take up a senior role. The actress, who had been part of several films in the early 1990's, ventured onto the small screen after her marriage. Now she is back to play Vijay's mother in the silver screen.

'Villu' directed by Prabhudeva, features Vijay in dual roles and Nayanthara plays his ladylove.
