Captain to take a break from shoot

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 16 2010]

Actor and DMDK president Vijayakanth, who is busy with his directorial debut ’Virudhagiri’, will take time off from the shooting schedule and campaign for his party candidate in the Pennagaram by-election scheduled for March 27.

According to sources, the actor-politician will hit the campaign trail for five days from March 21. “He will tour the constituency and address a host of public meetings seeking votes to DMDK candidate K G Kaveri Varman,” they said.

“However, this would not stop the movie from shaping up as Vijayakanth has assigned some important works to his associates to complete during the five-day break. An action entertainer, ‘Virudhagiri’ is about a police officer who is brainy and brawny,” sources added.

The title ‘Virudhagiri’ was inspired by the famous Viruthagireeswarar temple in Virudhachalam constituency, for which Vijayakanth is the legislator. The film is produced by his own production company and a major part of the shoot is over, we learn.
