"The story of 'Velayudham' demanded only an actor with a larger-than-life image, like Vijay. So we have not made any compromise in the script to satisfy Vijay fans as his character in the film will itself be a delight to them," says 'Jayam' Raja, the director.

The filmmaker, who celebrated his birthday on the sets of 'Velayudham' on Tuesday, said, "However, Vijay has come out with some special styles and mannerisms which will be liked by one and all, especially women fans."

On the film's knot, Raja said, "It is a commonman's war against loopholes in the system. How the hero achieves his mission in brainy and brawny ways is what 'Velayudham' is all about. The movie will be racy from scene one"

"This is the most expensive Vijay film ever," the director informed and added: "So the Ilaya Thalapathi took extra efforts to ensure that all is well. Our thanks to the producer (Aascar V Ravichandran) for his tremendous support."
