Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 'Velayudham' and thala Ajith's 'Mankatha' can rightfully be termed as two biggies Tamil cinema is eagerly awaiting to witness this August, and every news from these two fronts, is raising expectations among fans and audience.

'Velayudham' that stars Vijay, Hansika and Genelia is directed by 'Jayam' Raja. The team is currently traveling to Ladhak for a ten day shoot schedule. Ladhak and its naturally scenic beauty has always called for 'n' number of shoots from the film industry, within and outside our country.

Meanwhile, post-production work has started side-by-side, and is going at a brisk pace.

Also, Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that 'Velayudham' will see an audio launch by mid-July, we must remember that the movie was launched in mid-July as well, it went on floors by July 15, 2010 and the audio launch will be in mid-July this year!

'Velayudham' sees Vijay as a villager, who comes to the city to withdraw the money he has invested in a chit fund company, where shock awaits him as he understands that he has been cheated. Circumstances throw him into donning the role of superhero Velayudham, a character sketched by Genelia in the film. While Genelia plays a TV journalist, Hansika Motwani plays Vijay's love interest.

We'll get back to you shortly once the official date is out on the audio launch...
