Dilip
in Vijaykant film
 Dilip
was the lucky star last year in Malayalam cinema. After a string
of hits, he is now one of the busiest actors and though many producers
from Tamil Nadu tried to book him, it was not possible. Producer-director
Manoj Kumar is known to achieve the impossible. He got the real
life lovers Raju Sundaram and Simran to act in I Love U Daa. He
went all way to Pollachi where Dilip was staying. But Dilip politely
told him to come at the end of 2002. Manoj requested that he hear
the story.
“Whether
you do the film or not, I want to narrate the story to you. I want
you to remember me as the man who told you a good story,” was
Manoj’s plea. Story session over and Manoj has come back with
Dilip’s dates. Lucky he.
“Dilip
has shifted dates of his other films and has managed to give me
20 days in one go. He was happy that he is doing a Tamil film where
he is playing Vijaykant’s brother. His acting talents had always
attracted me and he is so simple that he did not want a five star
hotel accommodation and opted to stay in a guest house,” revealed
Manoj giving final touches to Rajiyam.
Rajiyam has
no political overtones. Its about a security service agency run
by Vijayakant and the world in which he operates. The film is also
about an elder brother’s love for the younger brother Dilip.
Shamita Shetty makes her debut as the heroine opposite Vijaykant
and Priyanka Trivedi is paired opposite Dilip.
In all his
films, Manoj has a contest where anyone guesses a scene in advance
will win Rs 50,000. This time he has raised the amount to Rs 5 lakhs.
The film has
music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography by Karthik Raja and
the film is being readied for release in April.
