Prabhu Deva Says Vijay’s Villu will be like a James Bond Movie
The film is to be released on January 12, the same day his first Tamil film (as director) Pokkiri, was released two years ago. The movie went on to become a blockbuster.
Ask the director why the project has been christened Villu and Prabhu Deva nonchalantly replies, “My hero is like a villu (bow) with a taut string that enables an arrow to hit the bull’s eye with precision. In our mythology, the ambu (arrow) and villu were weapons used by celestial beings.”
Draw his attention to the fact that his fans are eager to know about the story of the film and he smiles. “When an arrow is dispatched from a bow, it races to its target. Similarly, my hero travels from his village to the city and from there to foreign lands and finally zeroes in on his target,” he says and goes on to explain that his film falls under the action-adventure genre.
“I would say that it will be Vijay’s first Bond kind of film.
There is action, chases through air, water and land, exotic locales, light-hearted romance, comedy and one-liners. All this packaged with typical Tamil sentiments and a stunning climax, with a surprise element and twist.” There have been rumours that the story has been inspired by Abbas Mastan’s Soldier. Ask him about it and he replies, “Any film in Indian cinema will have a reference to an earlier film. The basic story thread of all our commercial movies is from the Ramayana or Mahabharatha.” So, does he think Villu will be able to get the same kind of reception that Pokkiri got? Says he, “I think it is the perfect Pongal mass entertainer, and should work big time at the box-office. All of us have worked very hard and by God’s grace, it has come out well. I leave the rest to the audience. The Vijay magic plus the songs, action and comedy will be the highlights of the film.”
