“Velayudham’ is not a superhero nor possess any supernatural powers. He is an ordinary man who has a reason to take up the cudgels and fight the system. Director Raja has made the transformation of my character with realism and that according to me is the highlight,” Vijay said about his role in the film.
“Hansika and Genelia were excellent co-stars. Sharanya mohan portrays the role of my sister in this movie. Genelia has a very important role of a journalist who motivates and brings about a transformation in my character,” he added.
