Anna Durai

Annadurai starring Vijay Antony is a bilingual film, made in Tamil and Telugu. Vijay Antony will edit all his films himself. He tells, "I have always wanted to get into editing, because I sincerely believe a film can be saved on the editing table. I started my career as a sound engineer during the late 90s which involved editing music files. I think it gives me more freedom as a technician."

Vijay says he plays two characters in Annadurai--a teacher and a drunkard. "The film revolves around the life of two brothers and it's a family drama. The conflicts these two characters face form the script. We shot for 70 days in and around Chennai, Tiruvannamalai, and Puducherry."

The first look of Annadurai will be released in Telugu as Indrasena, Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi is launched the first look post of the movie in Hyderabad. Interestingly, Indrasena was the title of one of Chiranjeevi's blockbuster hits. "I want to concentrate equally on Telugu market. I think the audience really like me there. I don't have a star image, but my Pichaikkaran (Bichagadu in Telugu) ran for more than 100 days," he says.

Vijay Antony also has Kaali in the pipeline directed by Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi Stalin.
