The city of Jilla & Veeram

Apart from the release date, what’s the other connect Thala Ajith’s Veeram and Ilayathalapathy’s Jilla has in common? Our source inform us that both films are set in the city that never sleeps- Madurai.

Besides that, there’s also another interesting ‘Thala Thalapathy’ connect. Veeram has a super-risky train sequence that was shot in Orissa. Why Orissa? The team apparently couldn’t acquire permission to shoot the portion in Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh. Stunt Choreographer Silva, who is working on Veeram had choreographed the action sequences in Vijay starrer Velayudham too. The Jayam Raja project had a train sequence that was shot in Orissa. It was Silva, who suggested the Veeram team to shoot the portion in Orissa.

Ajith-Tamannah starrer Veeram and Jilla starring Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal are set for a big release on January 10th, along with Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kochadaiyaan.
