The groundwork for Vijay’s 50th film has already begun. It has been confirmed that Perarasu will be directing the movie which will be produced by Sangili Murugan. The cast is yet to be decided though there have been speculations that Sneha has been signed up to play one of the two heroines in the movie. But the immediate problem facing the team is the title. It had earlier been reported that there were plans to use the title of a yesteryear MGR starrer, or a catchphrase from any one of his hit songs for this movie.
Vijay himself is reportedly very keen on having his 50th film titles as ‘Enga Veettu Pillai’ after MGR’s cult hit. Acquiring this title might not have been problem in the normal course of things. But, the problem is that this title has already been registered by Sundar C. So, Sundar C’s permission will be required for this title to be used for Vijay’s film. There are also reports that there are many other prospective takers for this title in Kollywood but Sundar C is very keen to retain it.
Vijay, who is currently out of station, is expected to meet Sundar C on his return to the city and negotiate this matter in order to use ‘Enga Veettu Pillai’.
What’s in a name, we tend to think. But in Kollywood, especially when it comes to landmark films like the 50th, the title does seem to be of very high importance.
