Elections are currently underway in 102 seats across 21 states and Union Territories, and the counting of the votes have been announced to be held on June 4. The 2024 general elections are set to take place in seven phases across the country and will be ending on June 1. 

Tamil composer turned actor Vijay Antony's next big film Romeo is gearing up for a grand theatrical outing this April as a Ramzan release. The upcoming film marks the big directorial debut of Vinayak Vaithianathan and features Mirnalini Ravi of Super Deluxe (2019), Enemy (2021), and Cobra (2022) fame playing the female lead. With only a few days left for the release, the makers of Romeo have now released the film's much awaited trailer giving viewers a glimpse at Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi, and the massive fun-filled entertainment that awaits them on the big screen. 

The Romeo trailer starts off with Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi's engagement ceremony. We then see Vijay Antony seeking VTV Ganesh's advise on one-side love and Yogi Babu also making an appearance as a DJ at a dance club. There are visuals showing Vijay Antony delighted and smiling at the prospect of a happy married life, while Mirnalini is seen expressing her regret and asking for a divorce. The Romeo trailer then goes on to show the various stages and the issues in the relationship between Vijay Antony and Mirnalini after their marriage, and the film looks to be high on entertainment based on the latest visuals unveiled. 

There is a positive buzz surrounding Romeo and the trailer released now will no doubt add to the excitement ahead of the film's release next month. Apart from Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi as the lead pair, the other big USP of the film is the ensemble cast that also features the likes of Ilavarasu, Thalaivasal Vijay, Sudha, and Sreeja Ravi alongside VTV Ganesh and Yogi Babu, who are expected to keep the fun going throughout the narrative. Vijay Antony, who is acting in the lead role in Romeo, is also the editor and the film will feature music composed by Barath Dhanasekar, while the technical team includes cinematographer Farook J Basha, and art director S. Kamala Nathan. 

Watch the fun-filled Romeo trailer below:

Tamil Composer turned actor and filmmaker Vijay Antony will be seen next in the much-awaited film, Romeo, opening in cinemas as a grand Ramzan release under debutant filmmaker Vinayak Vaithianathan's direction. Meanwhile, the actor's comments about Jesus Christ at the upcoming film's promotional event has stirred controversy, which led to a strong response from the Tamil Nadu Federation of Christian Churches. The Christian association subsequently issued a statement warning of massive protests in front of his house if the actor did not apologize for his comments. 

On Saturday, March 16, Vijay Antony penned an apology in Tamil on his social media clarifying that he was only referring to the historical consumption of grape juice and not alcohol, while expressing his regret for any misconception or pain caused. In his apology note, the Pichaikkaran actor maintained his stance saying that he was not stating anything wrong and informed that he would "never dream of misrepresenting Jesus, who shed his blood and died for the people." Vijay Antony's statements garnered attention during the Romeo promotional event where he was queried about the film's poster featuring him on a bed holding a jar of milk and co-star Mirnalini Ravi preparing a drink.

Vijay Antony, who was questioned the portrayal of alcohol consumption among women, defended the depiction citing historical practices. He spoke about Jesus Christ's supposed consumption of wine, which led to a big outcry from the Tamil Nadu Federation of Christian Churches. Condemning the actor's comments, the outfit accused the actor of disrespecting Jesus Christ and Christians, and demanded an apology failing which a demonstration would take place outside his residence. Vijay Antony was also asked during the press meet if Romeo was trying to portray women drinking, with the actor saying, "It has been a long-time practice. We used to drink 'sarayam' (now banned in Tamil Nadu). Now, we consume it under different names. Jesus (Christ) too drank wine two thousand years back."

Composer-actor Vijay Antony's next big film titled Hitler also starring blockbuster director Gautham Vasudev Menon will be coming out soon and an electrifying teaser has now been released giving fans a glimpse at the action that awaits them. The action thriller began filming earlier this year without much noise and has been directed by Dhana of Padaiveeran (2018)  and Vanam Kottattum (2020) fame. The Hitler teaser shows both Vijay Antony and Gautham Menon in action mode, with a confrontation between them teased towards the end in the latest glimpse. 

The Hitler teaser starts with a quote by Chinese revolutionary Mao Zedong, with the visuals showing Vijay Antony witnessing the plight of the common people due to corruption and crime. We then see popular South Indian actor Charan Raj playing a powerful politician, with Gautham Menon being introduced as a tough-as-nails police officer. The Hitler teaser revolves predominantly around Vijay Antony and Gautham Menon involved in a chase before they confront each other. The visuals show that the film will be loaded with plenty of action and will interest fans of the crime thriller genre. 

Hitler sees Vijay Antony paired with Riya Suman, who previously played the female lead in Seeru (2020), Manmadha Leelai (2022), and Agent Kannayiram (2022), while the supporting cast includes Redin Kingsley, Vivek Prasanna, Tamizh, Aadukalam Naren, among others. The musical duo Vivek-Mervin, who impressed with their work in Sanga Thamizhan (2019), Pattas (2020), Dharala Prabhu (2020), and Sulthan (2021), to name a notable few, are the composers of Hitler, and they will be expected to come out with chart-topping hit songs once again. Vijay Antony, who had four big releases in 2023, will look to hit the bullseye in 2024 too starting with Hitler, following which he has Valli Mayil, Khakhee, Romeo, and the long-delayed Agni Siragugal in his lineup. 

Watch the Hitler teaser below:

Kolai has Vijay Antony sporting a completely new look and he will be appearing as an aged detective hired to investigate the murder of a popular singer. While Irudhi Suttru and Oh My Kadavule heroine Ritika Singh plays the role of a cop, young sensation Meenakshii Chaudhary is cast as the singer, with Radikaa Sarathkumar, Murli Sharma, Siddhartha Shankar, Kishore Kumar, John Vijay, Arjun Chidambaram, and Samkit Bohra appearing in pivotal roles. The trailer for Kolai released last year gave audiences a grand glimpse at Vijay Antony and the film, which has been produced by Infiniti Film Ventures in association with the Lotus Pictures banner. 

Among the major highlights of Kolai is the super stylish manner in which it has been picturized by NGK and Kolamaavu Kokila fame cinematographer Sivakumar Vijayan, with the visuals in the film's trailer leaving everyone impressed. Featuring music by Girishh Gopalakrishnan of Mookuthi Amman and Netrikann fame, the upcoming film has editing done by Selva RK, who is known for his work in Karnan and Sarpatta Parambarai. Vijay Antony will hope to carry forward the momentum from the success of Pichaikkaran 2 and aim at hitting the bullseye once again with Kolai, if not reach bigger results this time around. 

Vijay Antony's Pichaikkaran 2 is continuing its strong outing in theatres and so is the Telugu version, Bichagadu 2, which has turned out to be a big success. With the film en route to becoming a blockbuster in Telugu, the team celebrated their victory by taking the homeless and the underprivileged in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, to a quality restaurant and feeding them a sumptuous meal. Vijay Antony shared a heart-warming video on Twitter in which he is seen serving food to poor people, while also clicking selfies with them, with his latest gesture earning him big praise among fans on social media.

Having made his directorial debut with Pichaikkaran 2, Vijay Antony has often spoken about the importance of humanism and how people should come forward to help others as much as possible. He had endured several obstacles for his latest venture after he suffered severe injuries because of a jet ski accident in Malaysia during the film's shooting and a case being filed in the court by a producer alleging that the film violated the copyright over the storyline. With Vijay Antony making a speedy recovery and the court subsequently giving the nod for the film's release after dismissing the claims of violation of copyright over the storyline, the success of Pichaikkaran 2 and its Telugu version Bichagadu 2 will no doubt taste sweet. 

Both Pichaikkaran 2 and Bichagadu 2 started off on a winning note, with the Tamil version collecting 3.25 crores on day 1, while the film in Telugu raked in 4.5 crores making it the biggest opening in Vijay Antony's nearly two-decade career. With the film now out in Tamil and Telugu, the composer-turned-actor will hope to keep up the momentum and be hopeful for similar results when the Kannada and Malayalam versions, Bhikshuka 2 and Bhikshakkaran 2, get released next. 

Vijay Antony is a popular actor who has done in many hit films. The upcoming film of the actor that is in line for release is Pichaikkaran 2: Anti Bikili. The film is also directed by the actor and is bankrolled by Fatima Vijay Antony, his wife, under the banner Vijay Antony Film Corporation. As the film is set to release this weekend, the makers have now released a new sneak peek from the film on YouTube. This is the second sneak peek that's been released and features famous comedian and actor Yogi Babu.

The hilarious 3-minute-long sneak peek from Pichaikkaran 2: Anti Bikili shows Yogi Babu as a homeless person begging for alms. In the first scene, the actor is seen making a joke to a person that he looks like Vijay Antony. The person says he is the one who is looking like him. Yogi Babu then says 'ok sir I will tell this to him'. He then goes and asks another person for alms who says who would have cash in their hands now. To Which, the actor unzips his hoodie and reveal a mobile payment QR code printed on his T-shirt and says 'this is digital India we both are the same here'. The third shot shows the person playing a speaker that has his voice asking for charity on loop. As the person shows an Rs.20 note and asks for a change of Rs.19. he hilariously neglects the man and moves on and stands in front of a big house. He then called and orders food to be delivered to that house. At that time, the character played by Vijay Antony begins following him and the sneak peek ends when they come face to face.

This hilarious sneak peek creates an interest to watch the film in theatres when it releases on May 19. The film also has Kavya Thapar playing a female led with a cast of Y Gee Mahendran, Mansoor Ali Khan, Hareesh Peradi, John Vijay, and Yogi Babu.

Vijay Antony's Pichaikkaran 2 is all set for a grand release in theatres on May 19 and is also his big directorial debut. The composer-turned-actor recently sat down for an exclusive interview to talk about the upcoming film, while also revealing how he came up with the tagline 'Anti-Bikili'. Vijay Antony, who is known for coining new terms in his songs like 'Dailamo' (Dishyum) and 'Ussumu Laresey' (Uthama Puthiran), opened up on the meaning behind the word 'Anti-Bikili' in Pichaikkaran 2, and said, "Only if we know the meaning of the word Bikili, we will know what Anti-Bikili is. We don't really know the meaning of Bikili because I learned about that word only now and have given it to all of you for free. Till the creation of money, we all (as a species) were happy. Science began to develop and we invented many things. All of that is okay, but poverty has grown. When there was no money, anyone could work. There would be empty lands everywhere and we could do all that we wanted to do. After money came into existence, the people who had knowledge, learned how to use it to their advantage. Those who couldn't get any money, they became poor. When we do business, we can earn and that is the profession of the rich people. But, that's not all there is to it." 

Vijay Antony added, "There is a separate category in which there are people who misappropriate money, exploit the poor, and those who think they can buy anything from money, we can call them Bikili. They don't really have a name yet. We label the class separation as the rich and the poor. There are misers and spendthrifts. When you watch the film, you'll know in detail what that is." 

Watch Vijay Antony talk about Pichaikkaran 2 in the video below: 

Vijay Antony is a well-known actor and music composer who had taken a new avatar recently as the director of his film Pichaikkaran 2. The film has created excitement among fans as it is its sequel to the hit film that was released in 2016. The actor had said Pichaikkaran 2 will have an entirely new story and will not be a continuation of the first part. The film also has Kavya Thapar playing the female lead and has a star cast that includes Mansoor Ali Khan, Y Gee Mahendran and so on. It is set to release in theatres on May 19.

Vijay Antony gave an exclusive interview with national award-winning critic Baradwaj Rangan, The editor in Chief of Galatta Plus and shared some interesting insights about Pichaikkaran 2. The film marks the first Pan-Indian release for the actor as it is to be released in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and in Hindi in a week or two. When asked how he feels about that, the actor candidly said “it’s nothing for me, sir, It's what we do usually do. All my films will be dubbed in Telugu. After that, we sold the satellite rights to Hotstar Vijay TV, and they have asked me to do the film in all south Indian languages, If I finish dubbing it early, we can release it in all languages, that is what I am trying. I think, in Andhra the film is to release in 700 theatres, the same in Tamil. Kannada and Malayalam are new to me but what they have said is they will watch it in Tamil itself. it's just released as an option in 50 theatres or so. Hindi is the challenging part. Kodiyil Oruvan was dubbed and telecasted on the Hindi in television and has received positive comments, I have heard. So it's become a Pan-India film, sir. Even if you release a film normally, they will dub it in other languages, we are just doing it in advance by one week or 15 days. I believed people will receive the same content well in all languages."
