Illayathalapathy Vijay is currently busy with his 51st film Kaavalkaran (remake of Malayalam hit Bodyguard) directed by Siddique. The film also marks the re-entry of Asin in South Indian cinema after a gap.
Vijay will team up with Jayam Raja after completing Kaavalkaran for a film tentatively titled Velayudham with Devi Sri Prasad expected to compose the music; it will be produced by Aascar Ravichandran. There are reports that bubbly Genelia will play one of the leading ladies in the film. Interesting this will be Genelia's second film opposite Vijay after Sachin. The producers are reportedly planning a grand movie launch at Nehru Stadium in June.
