Over
the
past
couple
of
years,
actor
Vijay
has
been
acting
in
more
quickies
and
got
at
least
two
releases
a
year.
Be
it
Villu,
Vettaikaran
or
Sura,
he
completed
them
within
a
short
span
of
time
and
unfortunately
didn"t
do
well
at
the
box
office.
Ensuring
that
the
same
scenario
doesn"t
persist,
the
actor
has
now
decided
to
shoot
his
next
film
Velayudham
on
a
long
schedule
of
180
days.
It
has
Hansika
Motwani
and
Genelia
D"Souza
in
the
lead
roles.
The
film
is
reported
to
be
a
remake
of
Telugu
movie
Azad
that
featured
Nagarjuna,
late
actress
Soundarya
and
Shilpa
Shetty
in
the
lead
roles.
Velayudham
started
rolling
a
month
ago
and
is
now
put
on
hold,
as
Vijay
has
resumed
shooting
for
his
other
film
Kaval
Kadhal.
Close
sources
said
that
Vijay
would
take
six
months
to
complete
this
film.
It"s
worth
mentioning
that
Vijay
had
previously
taken
7
months
for
his
Ghilli,
and
after
so
many
years
has
opted
for
the
same
pattern.
Velayudham
is
produced
by
Aascar
Ravichandran
and
directed
by
Jeyam
Raja.
Vijay
Anthony
is
scoring
music
and
Priyan
is
handling
cinematography.
