Sun Pictures today officially said that it had acquired the release rights of Vijay starrer ‘Sura’. The film production and distribution arm of the Sun Television Network has also said it would release the film in April.

Since ‘Sura’, directed by S P Rajakumar, is the 50th film of Vijay, it is being made on a never before budget when compared to other movies of the actor. The shooting is currently on in and around the fishing hamlets near Puducherry, as Vijay is playing a fisherman.

After completing the current schedule in the Union Territory, the cast and crew of the movie would move to Tuticorin, where a stunt sequence had been planned near the harbour. The next destination would be foreign locales, where songs would be canned on the lead pair- Vijay and Tamannah.

Produced by Sangili Murugan (who had produced ‘Kadhalukku Mariyadhai’), ‘Sura’ has musical score by Mani Sharma. Cinematography is by Ekambaram, whose work for ‘Iyarkai’ and ‘Kanthaswamy’ won accolades.

With Vijay’s ‘Vettaikaran’ fetching big collections at box office, Sun Pictures is sensibly acting through the course of right direction now. As mentioned earlier, the production house has acquired rights over Vijay’s 50th film ‘Sura’ slated for April release. Recently, the officials of Sun Network had watched few clippings of ‘Sura’ and have now signed on dotted lines.

Vettaikaaran is still on a high note inspite of Pongal releases, with Ilayathalapathy Vijay visiting various places to join the success celebrations with his fans. The recent was at Trivandrum where Vijay came to watch Vettaikaaran in New Theater in the city.

The day was a testimony for the fact that Trivandrum has one of the strongest fan base for Vijay in the whole of south India apart from Tamil Nadu and probably the best in Kerala. It is said that the crowd that gathered exceeded what was earlier seen at the time of Pokkiri’s success celebrations.

Inspite of being an afternoon doomed by eclipse, a huge fan crowd numbering close to 5000 gathered at the venue to catch a glimpse of their favorite hero. Policemen had a tough time controlling the crowd’s enthusiasm. Then Vijay arrived dressed in a blue jean and white shirt, as simple as ever, yet at his dazzling and stylish best. Fans claim that they have never seen such a huge crowd for any Tamil actor in Kerala.

The regional channels like Asianet and Jeevan TV covered the event and telecasted it in the evening. After the celebrations, Vijay left the venue early as the crowd was growing uncontrollable and hysteric watching their matinee idol live. Later Vijay attended a charity event where Vijay had his lunch with little kids, his “kutty kutty friends” as he calls them.

There was also a press meet in which he took questions from media and also expressed his willingness to act in a Malayalam movie, provided he gets a good script. He crooned a few lines from the mass number from Vettaikaaran, “Naan adicha thaanga maata” as per the request from the gathering. Vijay reportedly returned back to Chennai in the evening flight after the eventful day.
