Vijay, Jiiva, and Ileana are currently shooting for Nanban in Chennai. They are scheduled to work in the city for another week and then the next leg of the shoot will commence. Director Shankar intends to shoot the songs next. Word is that the unit will fly to Spain to shoot the songs in some of the country's hot spots.
Shankar has modified the script to suit Tamil sensibilities, so those who have already seen 3 Idiots will find a few surprises. Nanban is slotted for a Diwali release and it is hoped that work will be wrapped up by then.
Insiders have said that Vijay's performance in this film is simply superb as he has slipped into his character completely. Also, he is looking fitter and fresher than ever. The other surprise package is supposed to be Sathyaraj and the buzz is this film will be yet another milestone in his career.
