The interesting and exclusive back-story of Vijay's Thalaivaa
Published Date: Jul 25, 2013


Thalaivaa's producer, Chandraprakash Jain of Sri Mishri Production, is in the spotlight as his big budget Vijay - Vijay movie is getting ready to release in the 2nd week of August, either on the 8th or 9th.

The film is yet to be censored but the team is hopeful of completing these formalities quickly and is expecting a clean U certificate. The producer spoke to our Behindwoods Correspondent and had many interesting details to share about the movie.

"We are coming back to production after a big break, after Rickshaw Mama and now with the support of the complete family, we will be producing more movies, with complete involvement and interest. Everything is God's will"

"Ilayathalapathy Vijay liked A.L.Vijay's script so much that he straightaway recommended this script to us and we were very happy to start the project right away. We frankly didn't expect to be doing such a big project so soon"

The total budget of Thalaivaa is rumored to be around 50 crores but the producer has already sold his movie for a higher price and has recovered his investment. 2000 plus screens would see a grand release of Thalaivaa.

Totally 120 days were spent filming the movie predominantly in Mumbai and Sydney. The songs shot in Sydney are expected to be a visual treat for the audience.

Initially titles such as Thanga Magan, Thalaivan and even Thalapathy were under consideration but finally the director and producer decided to use the title Thalaivaa and Ilayathalapathy Vijay was only too happy to approve it.

The producer says that there have been no compromises in the production of Thalaivaa even when it came to the number of junior artistes and dancers involved.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay recently happened to see a special screening of the movie and was thrilled with the output and thanked the producer wholeheartedly. He is ready to work on one more film for the same producer in the near future too.

On the whole, Chandraprakash Jain expects the movie to be a big mass break for both the Vijays involved and is willing to encourage new talents with exciting scripts for his coming production ventures.
