The
year
2012
looks
promising
for
Vijay.
For
a
change,
the
Kaavalan
star
preferred
noted
filmmakers
to
young
directors.
As
a
result,
the
actor
has
three
movies,
which
are
directed
by
the
best
names
of
the
Kollywood,
in
the
current
year.
Here,
we
are
trying
to
give
a
glimpse
of
his
forthcoming
movies.
Nanban:
First
on
the
list
is
Nanban
directed
by
ace
filmmaker
Shankar.
The
movie,
which
is
releasing
for
Sankranthi,
has
generated
a
lot
of
curiosity
from
the
day
it
hit
the
floors.
The
multi-starrer
film
is
a
youthful
entertainer,
which
is
a
remake
of
Bollywood
blockbuster
3
Idiots.
The
Tamil
film
shows
him
in
a
college
student
avatar
and
he
is
all
set
to
impress
the
audience
with
his
comedy-filled
movie.
Thupaki:
Thupaki,
as
the
title
says,
is
an
out-and-out
action
drama.
The
movie
made
by
AR
Murugadoss
has
attracted
the
mass
audience,
as
the
action
genre
is
tailor-made
for
Vijay.
The
movie
tells
the
tale
of
an
ordinary
man's
journey
to
Mumbai,
where
he
sees
himself
as
a
don
to
rule
the
underworld.
The
movie,
which
also
features
Kajal
Aggarwal,
has
started
the
shooting
and
expected
to
hit
the
screens
in
mid-2012.
Yohan:
Adhyayam
Ondru:
Vijay
is
playing
a
contrasting
character
to
his
above
mentioned
other
roles
in
Yohan:
Adhyayam
Ondru.
The
Ilayathalapathy
will
be
enacting
the
character
of
an
undercover
agent
in
the
action-thriller
directed
by
Gautham
Menon.
The
major
part
of
the
shooting
will
be
shot
in
abroad
and
the
regular
shoots
are
expected
to
kick-start
in
late-2012.
The
movie
has
AR
Rahman's
music
and
some
of
the
best
Hollywood
technicians
will
work
in
this
project.
