           Why Vijay chose Bharathan for his 60th film

As it has been confirmed that Bharatan will be directing Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 60th, film a section of people started trolling the move as Vijay's previous association with Bharathan for 'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' resulted in a box office failure.

But many who are cynical and skeptical about Vijay's decision, do not know that the story of ATM was not written by Bharathan and it was not the one he intended to make a film with Vijay.

Sources in Kollywood who have been keeping a tab on Vijay's development over the years reveal an insider's story behind the entire episode, which has prompted Vijay to give another film for Bharathan who needs a crucial break in career. We present it to Indiaglitz readers with a precaution that this may be a rumor.

Bharathan narrated a story written by him when he got the first opportunity to direct Vijay. However, the actor insisted Bharathan to write the screenplay and dialogues for another story which had impressed him and make a film on that. Bharathan accepted Vijay's suggestion and made the film.

Bharathan delighted Vijay as a comfortable technician to work with. He completed the shooting of the film within the time frame promised by him.

More importantly, after the release of the film and its poor response at the box office, Bharatan never spoke anything bad about Vijay's decision to go with the story and never lamented to anyone that his debut would have been successful if he was allowed to direct the story he had in mind for Vijay.

This quality of not pointing fingers for an unfortunate result has highly impressed Vijay and that's why the star decided to work again with Bharathan who desperately needs a chance to prove his mettle as a director. 'Vijay 60' will have the story and script written by Bharathan.

it is worth noting that Bharathan has written the dialogues for Vijay's blockbuster 'Ghillie' and Ajith's super hit film 'Veeram' directed by Dharani and Siva respectively. Bharathan has also directed 'Athithi' the Tamil remake of a Malayalam film which was critically acclaimed.

               'Vijay 60': Bharathan snatches   Ilayathalapathy's flick away from leading directors

It's confirmed. Vijay's 60th movie will be helmed by none other than Bharathan and he has snatched away Ilayathalapathy's flick from some of the leading Kollywood filmmakers. 

As many as eight directors were in the race to bag Vijay's 60th movie. The actor has been cautiously discussing ideas and scripts with various directors. Samuthikirani, Hari, Karthik Subbaraj, Mohan Raja, Prabhu Deva and Sasikumar had approached the actor with their stories. 

In the end, it was Bharathan, who walked away with the opportunity to direct Vijay.

The movie will be bankrolled by Vijaya Productions, which had earlier funded Ajith Kumar's "Vedalam". KL Praveen will be the editor of the movie; other details are under wraps.

Editor Praveen has confirmed it on Twitter. He posted, "Yes guys. It is true. Im on board for #Ilayathalapathy #vj60 super excited for the racy script. I thank #vijay sir and #bharathan sir."

However, Vijay opting for Bharathan's film has surprised the industry as he had the option of picking up any project. 

It is said that the actor was impressed by the racy story narrated by Bharathan. They had earlier worked in "Azhagiya Tamizh Magan", which also featured Shriya Saran and Namitha in the lead roles. It has to be noted that this movie had failed to click at the box office. 

In recent times, stars have shown a preference for young filmmakers. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have also opened up to work with inexperienced directors. Even Vijay's "Puli" and his forthcoming untitled movie by Atlee are by budding filmmakers. Hence, this move of Ilayathalapathy does not come as a surprise. 

Meanwhile, Vijay is busy with his untitled film. Currently, the film unit is busy shooting in Goa. An action sequence is being shot in which Amy Jackson is also taking part. The "Thuppakki" star will kick-start his 60th movie early next year.
