With just about three weeks to go for the release of Vijay`s magnum opus Puli`, news comes from a source close to the unit that he plays three different characters in the film. One is the normal looking Vijay, a warrior who appears in ancient costumes, another is a powerful character with long hair who is seen at the fag end of the trailer.

Now the third character is the most interesting one as the Illayathalapathy appears as a less than half a foot dwarf and he is said to have teamed up with Robo Shankar, Imman Annachi, Shaams and Vidylekha Raman to bring the house down with non-stop comedy which is said to be one of the major highlights of the movie. Puli` directed by Chimbudevan and produced by P.T. Selvakumar and Shibu Thameens is all set to hit the screens worldwide on the 1st of October.
