`Vasool Chakravarthy'

THE `NUMERO Uno' star of Tamil cinema, Vijay, is on a roll. All his recent releases have taken a bumper opening at the box-office, including "Sukran", in which he made a cameo appearance. Recently, Kalaipuli S. Thanu, producer and distributor, who had given Rajnikanth the "superstar" title many years back, has now given Vijay a new name. He says the young actor is the "Vasool Chakravarthy"! Thanu's latest film "Sachin", featuring Vijay in the title role, has been sold to distributors at a record price. Says Thanu: "Vijay is a phenomenon and his reach worldwide is awesome." The entire talkie portion of the film is complete and two songs are to be shot abroad. The music is by Devi Sri Prasad and one song is to be shot in Ireland, featuring Vijay with Bipasha Basu and another with Genelia in Oman. "Sachin" is directed by John Mahendran and Thanu plans to release the film with over 250 prints worldwide on April 14.
