With Vijay 's ' Velayudham ' becoming a Dewali release, it is confirmed that the Ilayathalapathy Vijay 's next venture, the Shankar -directed ' Nanban ', will hit the screens for Pongal.
' Nanban ', a remake of Bollywood blockbuster ' 3 Idiots ', stars Vijay, Srikanth, Jiiva, Ileana, Sathyaraj in lead roles with Anuya Bhagawath and S.J Suryah playing pivotal ones. Harris Jayaraj has scored music. The shooting for the movie is complete and post production works have begun.
.
In ' Nanban ', Vijay plays an engineering college student, whose ideas are always out of the box. Jeeva and Srikanth play his close buddies in college. A major portion ofthe film was shot in Darjeeling and Ooty. Unlike other Shankar films,' Nanban ' was completed ina quick pace.
.
Says Vijay , "It is my longtime wish to join hands with Shankar and ithas come true with Nanban . He is a dedicated director and expects nothing but his best from his colleagues. Shooting for Nanban was a great and lovely experience. I enjoyed it thoroughly."
Goan-beauty Ileana is expecting to start her second innings in Kollywood with ' Nanban '. She enacts the role done by Kareena Kapoor in the original, romancing Vijay , who has replaced Aamir Khan .
The actress pins all hope on the movie and circles close to her say that she would accept other offers in Tamil only after the release of ' Nanban ', produced by Gemini Films .
.
Shankar is known for his grand approach and his producers, keeping his lavish predilections in mind, had no objections tospend the extra buck to shoot his signature style ofvisuals, especially in the songs of the film. "This hasmade Nanban a visual delight," sources say.
Confirming this, Shankar says, "I feel Nanban has shaped out very well in all aspects. The highlight of the film will be its characters and the excellent performances of the artists in it. It's going to be a treat watching Vijay, Jeeva, Sathyaraj, Srikanth, Sathyan, Ileana altogether. Every scene is edited and dubbed till date."
The 'mega director', who is fresh from the grand success of ' Enthiran ' adds:"
.
Vijay hosted a wonderfulparty for the completion of the film and it was so nice that all the artists and technicians of the filmgathered; it was a very relaxing evening full of talk, dance, fun, laughter etc."
Let's hope that ' Nanban ' will be an enjoyable movie, as much as its original was, probably even more entertaining considering the exciting cast and crew of ' Nanban '!

Vijay plays a cop in "pakalavan"

Looks like the Seeman �" Vijay duo is keen on starting ‘Pagalavan’ right after Vijay finishes up with‘Nanban,’ a multi-starrer under Shankar’s direction.
.
We had earlier told you the script consisted of a doctor Vijay , who plays therole of Pugazhendi and serves the poor in a villageand then fights a mafia who deals with expired medicines.
.
But now, Seeman has brought about certain changes in ‘Pagalavan’s script, making it a whole-new-package altogether!
This new aspect will show a young Vijay fighting for a cause, against the privatization of certain sectors by the Government.
.
‘Pagalavan’ will see a rough-tough war between Vijay who is a doctor and a police officer. And during these fights, Vijay realizes he cando better for the common man if he is a part of the police force.
.
He then studies IPS, rises to power as a police official in the society and puts an end to the mafia who is dealing with expired medicines.
.
So yes, Vijay dons the avatar of a doctor and later a police officer in ‘Pagalavan.’ We must remember that Vijay ’s earlier movie where he played a cop - ‘Pokkiri’ was a blockbuster.
