Thalaivasal Vijay Talks About His Bollywood Debut

Thalaivasal Vijay is making his Bollywood debut with the movie Junglee . The flick is directed by American writer-filmmaker Chuck Russell of The Mask fame. It features Vidyut Jammwal , Akshay Oberoi , Asha Bhat, Atul Kulkarni and Makarand Deshpande.

Sharing his excitement of working in the film, Vijay said, “It was great fun shooting for the film, but, at the same time was a huge challenge for me as I was the only actor from the South on the sets. Though I know Hindi, I can't speak the way they do. So, I had to practice my lines carefully as I was quite worried about my dialect. If they cracked a joke, by the time I could think of a comeback line, they would have moved on to the next topic. Vidyut, in fact, kept saying that I was speaking Hindi very well and that I was just not confident enough."

Vijay essays the role of Vidyut Jammwal’s father, who runs a sanctuary. The movie talks about the issue of elephant conservation, ivory poaching and human-animal conflict. Talking about Chuck Russell, the actor said, "He is so cool and out of the world. He spends a lot of time working on the character. He gave the script even before he began the shoot and there was absolutely no change in the dialogues and scenes." Vijay is currently busy with the television serial Azhagu. He also has films like 100 Percent Kadhal, Keni and Kunjuramande Kuppayam in his kitty.
