By Ramchander
He
is
making
his
debut
as
a
director
with
Tamil
action-drama
Jilla
and
says
the
biggest
challenge
for
him
is
to
work
with
two
superstars
-
Vijay
and
Mohanlal.
"To
work
with
two
superstars
in
one
film
will
certainly
be
very
challenging.
I
need
to
be
highly
responsible
in
my
work
or
else
I
will
be
answerable
to
millions
of
fans
of
the
actors.
I
also
have
to
be
extremely
careful
about
how
I
portray
them
on
the
screen,"
Nesan
told
IANS.
Mohanlal
will
play
Vijay's
mentor
in
the
film.
"Lal
sir
will
essay
a
powerful
role
of
Vijay's
mentor
in
the
film.
Scenes
between
them
will
be
highly
emotional
and
will
be
the
highlight
of
the
the
story," said
the
first
time
director.
Why
Mohanlal
for
the
film?
"We
wanted
to
try
a
peculiar
combination.
I've
seen
several
films
of
Lal
sir
over
the
years
and
when
I
approached
him,
he
was
interested
too.
Vijay
was
also
interested
to
work
with
him
so
everything
else
fell
in
place," said
Nesan.
The
film
will
go
on
the
floors
in
the
second
week
of
May.
"We
will
start
filming
from
May.
We
will
predominantly
shoot
in
places
such
as
Madurai,
Chennai
and
some
locations
in
Andhra
Pradesh,
while
the
songs
will
be
shot
abroad.
If
everything
goes
well,
then
we
will
most
likely
release
the
film
during
Pongal
next
year,"
he
said.

Vijay
played
an
urban
hero
in
his
last
two
flicks
-
Nanban
and
Thuppakki
-
also
in
upcoming
film
Thalaivaa.
However,

"I
was
born
near
Madurai
and,
therefore,
wanted
to
explore
the
place
through
the
film.
Moreover,
I
don't
think
Vijay
sir
has
played
a
role,
which
is
based
in
Madurai.
He
will
also
mouth
few
dialogues
in
the
local
dialect
to
add
a
personal
touch
to
his
role," said
Nesan.
