Vijay is wrapping up his 50th film ‘Sura’ soon and will immediately start his next. There were enough speculations as to who will direct Vijay after ‘Sura’. There were three names of prominent directors doing the rounds. ‘Jayam’ Raja had already narrated a story to Vijay and was ready to roll. Another one was Siddique who influenced Vijay for a remake of his recent super hit in Malayalam ‘Bodyguard’. Siddique was the one who gave the evergreen comedy hit ‘Friends’ for Vijay.

Meanwhile director Lingusamy was also in the fray. Now the murk is settling and things are clear. Lingusamy is doing a film with Silambarasan and so he may not have the dates for Vijay. Vijay is so impressed with ‘Bodyguard’ and wants to do the Tamil remake as quickly as possible.

So where does that leave ‘Jayam’ Raja. Raja says “It’s for sure that I am doing a film with Vijay for Aascar Films. But it has not been decided whether that will be immediately after ‘Sura’ or otherwise.”

So it is doubly confirmed that Vijay will act under the baton of Raja.
