Director Ezhil’s next film Vellaikara Durai, which features Vikram Prabhu in the lead, is back in the news. Sources close to the unit say that actress Meenakshi, who was last seen in the Tamil film Mandhira Punnaigai, has been roped in to do a special song in the film, which is fast nearing completion.
Confirming the news, director Ezhil says, “Yes, Meenakshi is doing a special song. We wanted to cast someone with a native look for this song. Meenakshi’s looks are ideal. Moreover, her dates were available and so we have got her on board. We have just begun work on the number which is likely to be shot over the next three days. The song is being shot in a set erected for Jilla. We have altered it and are using it to shoot the number.”
The film, it seems, is almost over. “Apart from this song, there is just one other song and three days of shooting left. However, we are looking at releasing our film in the month of October as Sigaram Thodu, another Vikram Prabhu’s film is slotted to release in August.”
