“Every scene in Thalaivaa will be as explosive as an RDX,” boasts director Vijay in his recent interview with a leading magazine. The director promises that the film will be packed with style, actions, mass and emotions. He is also confident that Thalaivaa would satisfy the expectations people have post the success of Thuppakki.
The director also narrates the story of roping in Vijay for this project. “Impressed with my Madrasapattinam, Vijay called me and said that we should do a project together. The plan didn’t materialize until I met Chandraprakash Jain, who had the dates of Vijay,” explains director Vijay. Later he fixed an appointment with the actor and narrated the story to him. “I began my story by saying that the title ‘Thalaivan’ must always come in search of us. And 15 minutes later, Vijay smiled and shook my hands. He was then officially on board!” recollects director Vijay.
