Vijay Fanz Network - Canada

As Vijay’s 51st movie Kaavalan is nearing completion, the producers seem to have decided to dispel the confusions involving its title. As a result, a ‘title introduction’ event was held this evening at the GRT Grand Days Hotel, Chennai. The event was attended by producer Ramesh Babu, Vadivelu, Vijay, Asin, cameraman Egambaram, director Siddique and financier Anbuchezhian. The event saw speeches from the movie’s cast and the director himself.

Vadivelu, who came first, had only praises for Siddique. “Although I have heard a lot of stories and acted in a number of movies, this film is special to me. I am sure this film will be a milestone in Vijay and Asin’s career,” he said. He also mentioned that there is nobody quite like Siddique when it comes to action comedy. “If he doesn’t find any part unconvincing, he will ask us to take a break and practice,” he added. He also requested Siddique to direct at least one movie in Tamil every year.

Asin, in her brief address, wanted Kaavalan, her 3rd film with Vijay, to be a hatrick. “I have always wanted to be part of a sweet, simple and clean love story. Having watched Siddiques films since I was a kid, this is like a dream come true for me to act in his film,” she said. Incidentally, this is also Asin’s 3rd film with Vadivelu.

Vijay delved into the title hullabaloo in his speech recalling the troubles the movie has had since its inception. “We wanted Kaavalkaran but couldn’t acquire the title. Before we named the movie, everybody was quoting Kaaval Kadhal and we finally settled with Kaavalan,” he said. He expressed thanks to Asin for having extracted time from Bollywood, after her 3 year break in Tamil movies, to be a part of Kaavalan.

Siddique was rather reticent in the evening and spoke only a few words, thanking the crew for their cooperation, requesting similar support in the future.
