The latest buzz doing rounds in industry is that Lingusamy, who is wielding the megaphone for 'Paiya' starring Karthi and Tammana, will be directing Vijay soon.

Lingusamy had worked with top artistes including Ajith, Vikram and Vishal in his career spanning nearly half-a-decade. Sources say that he would be directing Vijay's 51st film, which might be produced by Soundarya Rajnikanth.

Vijay, who is all set to shoot for 'Vettaikaran' next, will complete his half-century in Kollywood. His 50th film is touted to be directed by director Raja, who has several hits under hits belt including 'Jayam', 'M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi' and 'Santosh Subramaniam'.

Lingusamy's last 'Bheemaa' had bit the dust and he is keen to bounce back with 'Paiya' as the shooting for the movie is on at a hectic pace in and around Bangalore now.
