Vijay's barren run does not seem to have ended.
After Aathi, the actor had been keeping a very low profile. He did not accept any new movie after that.
Then, following some hectic discussions, he has agreed to do the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit Pokiri.
The Tamil movie is set to be directed by Prabhu Deva.
The problem now is that the Telugu original itself has run well in Chennai and has been quite popular among Tamil audiences too.
Vijay was successful in keeping Bangharam, a Telugu film that he was keen on remaking in Tamil, away from Chennai.
But the film failed and seems a non-starter in Tamil now.
But with Pokiri, things are different.
