Illayathalapathy Vijay is currently busy with his 51st film Kaavalkaran (remake of Malayalam hit Bodyguard) directed by Siddique. The film also marks the re-entry of Asin in South Indian cinema after a gap. Vijay will team up with Jayam Raja for Velayudham after completing Kaavalkaran. Devi Sri Prasad will compose the music. The latest buzz is that the cute actress Saranya Mohan will play a prominent role (as Vijay's sister) in the film.
The film is produced by Aascar Ravichandran; bubbly girl Genelia and Hansika Motwani are the leading ladies. This will be Genelia’s second film opposite Vijay after Sachin. The producers are reportedly planning a grand movie launch at Nehru Stadium in June. There are also reports that Velayudham is the remake of the Telugu hit Azad.
Cinematographer Priyan will reportedly team up with Jayam Raja for Velayudham.
