After a year with 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal' being his last, actor Suriya is ready with his next 'Vel'. The movie features Suriya in a dual role and acting opposite him is Asin, who plays a radio jockey.

Speaking on the movie, Suriya says, "We have highlighted the need for the joint family system that is on the decline today. Our culture and values are lost due to the emergence of nuclear families."

Vel, which is being directed by Hari, promises a lot of action sans any bloodshed and gore.

Hari says, "The script has been well crafted with all sharpness like its title. Suriya, well known for his dedication, is equipping himself to fit into the scheme of things."

Produced by Raja Kaliamman Media Works, the movie has musical score by Yuvanshankar Raja. The music has already made its way to audio charts.

Nasser, Vadivelu, among others, play prominent roles in the movie.

The highlight of the movie is that Suriya plays a dual role. After 'Perazhagan', the actor is doing a dual role. He has reportedly taken several pains to show variation and variety in his dual role.

"The film propagates the message that violence deprives human beings of all happiness in life. It is the root cause of all grief", says Hari.

Asin looks lovably different in the film, wearing spectacles and in traditional attire. The shooting has taken place in Karaikudi, Pollachi, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli and Kutralam.

Suriya and Asin are considered a lucky pair in Kollywood! The duo comes together after a sound success in 'Ghajini'. Expectations are high that the couple would repeat the magic in 'Vel' too.
