Vijay, needless to say, is a great admirer of Superstar Rajinkanth and has followed certain mannerisms of the top actor in some of his films. The Ilaya Thalapathi is now going a step ahead, one has to say.

If sources are to be believed, he is playing a milkman, a role made popular by Rajini in ‘Annamalai’, in ‘Velayudham’ directed by M Raja. “The story will suddenly shift from a village to the city,” sources say.

They add: “Though Vijay is doing a milkman’s role, it has no similarity to that of Rajini’s in ‘Annamalai’. It is a fresh one conceived by director Raja and the actor has given his best to it.”

Produced by Aascar V Ravichandran, ‘Velayudham’ has music by Vijay Antony. Genelia plays a television journalist while Hansika Motwani plays a village belle and both woo the Ilaya Thalapathi.
