B-Town baddies in Velayudham

Ilayathalapathy Vijay will be battling a host of Bollywood villains in his forthcoming flick Velayudham.

The list of villains include well-known actor Sayaji Shinde, Vineet Kumar and Abhimanyu Singh of Rakhta Charitra fame, whom the film's director M Raja terms as the surprise package.

"Each villain will have his own strength and will be a challenging adversary for the hero," he says. The story of Velayudham is about how an ordinary man in the crowd becomes the leader of the people. Vijay plays a milkman-turned-vigilante in the film. "It will subtly deliver a message on how a leader should be. While it is a politicallycharged film, the dialogues will not be an attack on political parties," adds Raja.
