Both Vijay and Prabhu Deva are trying to recreate the magic of ‘Pokkiri’ with their current film ‘Villu’. While ‘Pokkiri’ was the remake of a Telugu film starring Mahesh Babu, ‘Villu’ reportedly is inspired by the Hindi film ‘Soldier’ that starred Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta.
Vijay will be seen playing a double role in the film (a father and son). The son who is the protagonist of the story would go all out to clear his dad’s name from some malicious charges. While Nayantara would play the son’s arm candy, yesteryear heroine Ranjitha has been roped in to play the wife of Vijay (Daddy).
Going by Vijay’s films of late, ‘Villu’ will also have the exact proportions of action, songs, sentiments and larger-than-life heroism that is bound to win at the end.
The last time Vijay played a double role was for ‘Azhagiya Tamizh Magan’ which proved to be a damp squib at the box office. When ‘Azhagiya Tamizh Magan’ was released many reviewers felt that double roles are not meant for Vijay. Let’s see if Vijay can prove them wrong with ‘Villu’.

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. she plays some stunning role in arjun movies and acted movies in different roles from A to Z.
