"Puli"
is the latest name that has joined the list of speculated titles of Vijay's
58th movie. The title will be formally announced on Pongal.
Many
names related to the movie in the past have been doing rounds. Most popular
among them were "Maareesan", "Marudheeran" and
"Garuda". Now, we hear that the makers are also considering
"Puli" along with the afore-mentioned other names.
As
Pongal is a big occasion for Tamilians, the makers have decided to reveal the
movie name for the festival. Vijay's official Twitter is expected to announce
the name for the Sankrathi. Till now, the movie is called by the name
"Vijay 58" by the audience and media.
Meanwhile, the movie team is set to begin its next schedule. It was reported that
the shooting will commence in Mysore. But now the latest buzz says that it will
start in Chennai. The film unit will head to Andhra Pradesh in February to
shoot the important portions.
"Vijay 58" is directed by Chimbudevan and grandly made by Vijay's
former manager PT Selvakumar and Shibu Thameens. The budget of the film is
expected to above ₹75 crores. It
is a fantasy-adventure film featuring Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep, Shruti
Haasan, Hansika Motwani and yesteryear actress Sridevi.
Vijay
will be reportedly seen in the role of a dwarf and Kiccha Sudeep plays the role
of a baddie. The Kannada star also plays the role of queen Sridevi and the
commander of her kingdom. Hansika Motwani plays Vijay's love interest. We are
still clueless about Shruti Haasan's character.
The
buzz says that the makers had a lot of discussions on the movie title but have
not finalised the name yet. However, "Puli" seems to be favoured by
many in the team. Nonetheless, the makers are expected to remain tight-lipped
about its title and will only announce the name for Pongal.
