Vishnuvardhan is finally ready to direct his favourite star Ajith once again. The ‘Billa’ duo will this time come together for ‘Billa-2’, a prequel to the blockbuster. The film will go on floors in April, once the Thala completes his 50th venture ‘Mankatha’.

“The script is ready long back and Vishnuvardhan is just waiting for Ajith to complete Mankatha. Billa-2 will be completed in 90 days and will hit the screens in 2011 itself,” say sources in the know.

They add: “Vishnuvardhan has always completed shoots of all his earlier films in three months. So he has decided to wrap up Billa-2 too within the same time. His script, which has all the technical details, will come to his rescue to achieve the target.”

Besides ‘Billa-2’, Vishnuvardhan also has in hands a Telugu project with Pawan Kalyan. Titled ‘The Shadow’, the film is a high voltage action entertainer which will have some big names in its cast.
