After completing ‘Villu’, Vijay will shoot for the movie ‘Vettaikaran’, a title inspired by yesteryear MGR hit.

‘Vettaikaran’ would be directed by Babu Sivan, an associate of director Dharani. To be produced by AVM Balasubramaniam, the movie is touted to be an action-packed entertainer, quite typical of Vijay film.

Sources close to the project say Ileana would be playing the female lead in the movie. The sought-after heroine in Tollywood, Ileana made her debut in Tamil with ‘Kedi’. She managed to render a string of successful movies in Telugu establishing herself as a numero uno actress there.

Efforts were made to bring her back to Tamil cinema. But all ended in vain. Buzz is that AVM has managed to convince her to make a comeback in Tamil with ‘Vettaikaran’.
