Twin fun in August

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,June 10 2011]

It looks like the fans of the 'Ultimate Star' as well as the fans of 'Ilaya Thalapathi' will rule the roost come August.

The reason - well Vijay's superhero project 'Velayudham' is in its final stages of shooting. The team needs to shoot a couple of songs after which the post-production teams will add the final touchups for the film. Anyways the film will be ready for release by the second or third week in August reveal sources close to the filming unit.

Similarly, director Venkat Prabhu is shooting the final sequences of his Ajith starrer 'Mankatha.' After a good dose of post-production work 'Mankatha' will hit theatres during August. The producer of this flick, Dayanidhi Alagiri, has revealed that the music album of 'Mankatha' will hit stands sometime in July as a precursor to the film's release the following month.

The only other time the films of Ajith and Vijay released during the same time was more than three years back where 'Pokiri' and 'Alwar' crossed swords. But now both the stars are on more friendly terms than ever and this is a very positive sign for fans. Instead of fighting as to which of their icons' film was better they can now enjoy seeing both their films!

Whatever it is the theatre owners are sure to have a good time laughing their way to the banks!
