If Mankatha had one irritating actor it was this Mahat. அவன் இங்கேயும் வந்துட்டானா?
Yeah... Still itself irritating :(
Found an interesting fact in twitter.
Jilla is Vijay`s 23rd Flick with Debutant director among 14 were hits.
23 movies with new directors?
Nesan is not exactly a debutante, but even if it is 20 out of 50 odd, that's incredible.

There is a possiblity that they might have considered these movies....
Friends
Badri
Pokkiri
These were tamil debuts for the respective directors. They had made their directorial debut in other languages.
Valid point
No, Udhaya is Azhagam Perumal 3rd Film (1. Dum Dum Dum ; 2. Joot)Quote:

Each moment in the song is joy and its here you relate yourself with Vijay. I am sure most of his current fans have not watched this movie, I request them to watch it. That will ease down their argument with BO sucess, and give them many ways to talk more good things about Vijay and his films. Lets talk about few other films like Thullatha manum Thullum, Love today in the Vijay thread, and give space here for Jilla discussions (you know i have quite a good track record of hijacking threads).
Looking forward for Jilla (but atleast this time the distributor must send posters to the cinema halls in France ... LoL)

Yes, OK. But for the records its the Theatrical release thats taken into account. Anyway whatever it is, Udhaya is a good movie and its always welcomed to be in any list.

I will talk about it in detail in Vijay Thread. Just to put down your curiosity, there is no weak points to be jotted out, just that we are talking about 2004 where TFI was catching up with new narative style, and Azhagam Perumal tried to bring in realism in commercial format. Add in the communist contraversial Nazer-The Cobbler role, it faced few problems in censor. But the film was not completely rejected, just that the gap it took to get released did not sustain the interest of the people. The gap that I am talking about includes the vigorous carrier shapping of Vijay too. Talking about the movie, its quite fluid and you accept to walk around with Vijay's charm (add in Simran too) leading us to a bloody climax. Got to check with one of my friend who is a Thivira Vijay fan the fact on the climax being altered. Anyone here knows about it, please let me know.
I remember waiting for Udhaya to release for a long time during the late 1990's/early 2000s.Quote:

As MB rightly says, Vijay was asked to shoot for the 2 pending songs (other 3 were half-shot anyway) after Thirumalai and during the making of Ghilli for which he obliged. Pyramid Natarajan released the movie at the worst possible time, a couple of weeks before Ghilli and believe me, there was quite a buzz among Vijay fans, despite the painfully long wait. One reason i guess was AR Rahman's music with Pookum Malargal and Thiurvallikeni Rani were chartbusters already.
A semi-baked Udhaya released and sunk without notice. But I loved the look of Vijay in that movie and off couse loved Pookum Malargal.
A couple of weeks later, Ghilli released and the rest, as they say, is history :)
Thanks a lot for the synopsis :)Quote:

As Cedy pointed out, Udhaya shoot started after TMT. Pyramid Natarajan had booked ARR for a three film deal and Udhaya was one of them. Other two being Sangamam and Rhythm. The film started with a supreme crew. Ravi K Chandran, Sreekar Prasad and ARR. Due to the delay, the first two opted out and Priyan/Raja Mohammed came in. ARR composed the songs and the bgm was done by Pravin Mani. The delay was mainly because Natarajan went through a hard time after the BO failure of Rhythm and Sangamam. And meanwhile Vijay and Simran became busy with their other projects. Subsequently bringing in the artistes for shoot itself became a problem.
I got a chance to read the script and also hear Thiruvallikkeni Rani, Udhaya Udhaya and Enna enna before the audio was officially launched. The script was good and if they had gone as per their plans, Udhaya could've been a different film altogether. The dialogues of Dhananjeya Veera, the character played by Nasser, were so strong. I was even worried if the film would pass through the censors. But eventually the film faced even bigger problems and what I saw on the screen finally was very different from what I read.
One fine day, the producer managed some cash and wanted to complete the movie in a hurry. Around a month's shoot was still left. But Simran, who got married only a few months back, refused to work. Natarajan seeked the help of producers council and they managed to get 5 days call sheet of Simran. 30 days of shoot was truncated to 5 days, of which 4 days were spent in shooting 2 songs. Perfect example of going from bad to worse.
Ajaybaskar, could you pull out the script now by any chance ? *greedy look*
Anyway is it true that the climax was altered - from what you read and what you saw ?
Mappi,
Those days they directors had only the hard copies of the script. There were centres in Vadapalani, who type the hand written scripts and thn take copies of it to be circulated among the actors. I read one such copy and I couldn't read in full. Read few parts of Udhayakumaran-Vasanthi love track and the ones featuring Dhananjeya veeran. Believe me, those were different too..
If you want to know if the climax was altered, gimme few days time. Will confirm it with Azhagamperumal himself. :)
And for starters, Udhaya was supposed to be made even earlier (96-97) with a different cast and different title. 'Mudhal Mudhalaga' with Arvindswamy and Karishma Kapoor. Music by ARR and produced by AG Subramaniam. It was shelved.
I now wonder if the script is haunted. :)
That saves me a call to my friend in US of A ... just kidding.
yes, thanks and looking forward for the behind the scenes tit-bits. That will allow us to analyse profondly what really messes up a developement.
Ajay, more than anything else, one has to feel for Azhagam Perumal who will be forever seen as a great assistant to Dir. Maniratnam and not as a great director himself.Quote:
