Vijay learns Chuck Norris' techniques!
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,March 11 2015]
Illaya Thalapathi Vijay's 'Puli' is the biggest project currently being shot and the news keeps trickling in by the hour and we are happy to keep the fans updated with every bit of info we receive. The latest tidbit is that for a war sequence Vijay is learning the four hundred year old martial arts techniques of Thailand and a special trainer has been flown in from that country exclusively to train Vijay. It is to be noted that Kings of Western Asia used to perform these martial arts as early as 1550AD and currently there are very few who know the art.
Other than the Thai people it is said that only exponent of Thai martial arts is Hollywood actor Chuck Norris, who appeared as the villain opposite Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon and now it is our very own Vijay who is learning the sacred art.
The sequences are being shot in the forests near Cochin and later to be shifted to Attibelle falls. Illaya Thilagam Prabhu plays the role of a Rajaguru who trains Vijay to fight his enemy played by Sudeep.
