Ileana D’Cruz is happy that she is back in Kollywood with the high profile ‘Nanban’. And her joy is double to act with Vijay, with her first scene with the Ilaya Thalapathi being shot recently.

“Had my first scene with Vijay. And he’s really not what I expected! A real nice guy with a quiet sense of humour. A pleasure to work with,” says the pretty actress, expressing her happiness.

Ileana bought her ticket for Tamil cinema in ‘Kedi’, but the film’s failure forced her to stay away from Kollywood. She however became a hot property in Telugu, by acting opposite all top heroes.

‘Nanban’, directed by Shankar, is a remake of Hindi hit ‘Three Idiots’. The Tamil version has Vijay, Srikanth and Jeeva in lead roles. “Shankar is so down-to-earth. Working with him is pleasure,” Ileana said earlier.
