Vijay out of 3 idiots?

The actor may not be part of director Shankar’s next film...
No other film in recent times has garnered so much attention even before its making as this one. With a lot of speculation over the making and the star cast of the film, the Tamil remake of Aamir Khan’s 3 idiots is already the talk of the town. But just when we were thinking that all is well, here comes a shocker — Ilaiyathalapathy Vijay himself might be out of the mega project!
The latest buzz is that Vijay and the director of the film, Shankar, had a difference of opinion over the film and have agreed to part as friends.Reports say that Vijay did not approve of his clothes and his look in the film, in which he plays a college student. Moreover, the actor is currently shooting for Velayudham in which he sports a particular look. As he is yet to finish the shoot on this project, which stars Genelia and Hansika in the lead, reports state that he didn’t want to change his look as he believed there would be a lack of continuity.
However, a source close to the developments told TOI that the actor may not do the film because he’ll soon float a political party. “An announcement regarding this is expected soon,” informed the source.
When TOI asked the actor about this during the trailer launch of Kaavalan held yesterday, Vijay remained tight-lipped and said, “Let the information come from the producer’s side.” The shooting for 3 idiots was expected to begin on December 6 in Dehradun. This will be the next big project for director Shankar after the success of the Rajinikanth-starrer Endhiran.
Meanwhile, Vijay is all excited about his Kaavalan, which is expected to hit the screens later this month. “I was supposed to do the film two years ago, even before the making of its Malayalam version Bodyguard, but I got the opportunity only now. It’s a nice romantic tale on the lines of Kadhalukku Mariyadhai, Kushi and Sachien, and will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Though it’s a remake of Bodyguard, we have changed the entire first half. The film might have faced a lot of controversies right from the beginning, but I was never really bogged down by them. The audiences will see me in different light in this film.”
