Pitchaikkaran, an upcoming project of music director turned actor Vijay Antony, has created curiosity among the audience with its thrilling trailer. The multifaceted Vijay released a press note recently revealing details about the film and his character. According to Vijay Antony states that each and every single soul has been a beggar at some part of their life, in want of something, not necassarily money. That idea forms the core of Pichaikaran. He said, “I had worked with Sasi sir for Dishyum, he has always impressed me with his choice of script, right from Sollamale, Roja Kootam, Dishyum, Poo & 555.. Each were different from the other.The inclination to work with him was always there.”

He added, “When I had a casual chat with Sasi sir he told me that he had an interesting script and I urged to narrate it to me.” The narration which went on for around three hours did not bore the actor at any point. The script was gripping from start to end. In fact, Vijay Antony immediately offered to take up the project.

While talking about the film’s curious title, the actor said, “It was me who was particular in titling the movie as Pitchaikkaran, but Sasi sir felt that it may give a negative shade to the movie. But I convinced him. The title is perfect for the script. It is self explanatory.”

Vijay Antony does not believe in having an image. “I have not found any major heroes playing the role of a beggar and hence I was more than convinced to do this. If I am asked whether it will affect my image I would say definitely no. We need to entertain audience for two and a half hours and I'm here to do that. Pitchaikkaran is not about conveying any message. It is a mixture of emotions.” Vijay Antony is paired with the new face Satna Titus. Apart from acting, Vijay Antony also handles the responsibility of being the music director and producer of Pitchaikkaran, under his banner Vijay Antony Films. The film is expected to hit big screens in November.
