Venkat Prabhu was present at the Mugamoodi audio launch function in which Vijay was the main attraction. To a query from Vijay's fans, on whether he would direct their star in the near future, Venkat Prabhu said that as soon as he gets the Ilaya Thalapathy's dates, he would start work on a project with him.
Vijay's fans were elated on hearing this, as expected. After Mankatha, Venkat is on a high pedestal among Tamil cinema fans and now he is busy with the Karthi starrer Biriyani.
