If it is not the PMK then it is the turn of the Villain team to play villain to Rajini.

K S Ravikumar the director who gave hits like Muthu and Padayappa with the Superstar is an angry man. He was unceremoniously dropped from Jaggubhai. He came to know about Chandramukhi only through the media. Immediately Ravikumar pulled out a script in which the hero has three dimensions. Something on the lines of Mondru Mugham of Rajni. Ajit has allotted dates in November. A start to finish schedules and will release it on the day Chandramukhi releases.

A typical filmy style vendetta- Thala v/s Thalivar. Ajit who is banking on Attagasham is grateful to Ravikumar for pulling him out of the mess with the film Villain. The producer is Karthikeyan

Lens Eye decided to visit Tuticorin for the coverage of Attagasam film shooting. Though it is a small town, Tuticorin is blessed with a harbour from where many goods are exported and imported. Except in the harbour areas the town is otherwise very peaceful and tranquil. Lens Eye got down from the bus at the town bus stand. A group of people who were waiting for buses began to run helter skelter. Lens Eye too started running without knowing the reason. Right on the trail was a few rowdies with headbands running. Seeing this rowdies coming closer with big knives, Lens Eye thought it was destiny that one had to die in the Tuticorin bus stand. Suddenly a voice boomed out `cut cut'. The rowdies froze and stopped running. The crowd which was running too stopped. A voice shouted `Lens Eye I bet you are shivering in your pants. Look up". On top the bus stand was Stunt master Super Subrayan. Only then did it strike that it was Attagasam’s film shooting in progress. Ajith - director Charan greeted Lens Eye. The action shifted to the harbour. `Start' said Super and Ajith in one take jumped from a compound wall near the port with a big knife, ran on the sands of the sea-shore chased and pulled the two thugs on the ground and killed them one by one. Next shift was to a temple, situated on the Tuticorin -Trichendur highways. It was a holiday and there were a lot of crowds to watch Ajith’s action. This time he had a full aruval and chased another two thugs and killed them. When the scene was being shot a section of the crowd started fleeing away. The local people said only two months ago at the same place two persons were hacked to death in a broad daylight. A section of the public mistook it for a real murder. Lens Eye felt that the police should mark such places to warn the public like the Chennai police has put marks on roads to warn motorists of places where fatal accidents took place. The producers arranged pucca police bandobust.

Stunt Master Super Subrayan told Lens Eye, that he had visited Tuticorin on several occasions and this time he said he could not believe his own eyes when a vast crowd turned up. The crowd had come to see Ajith. Director Charan said directing an action film and that too with an actor like Ajith was a pleasure. Ajith who plays a dual role in the film was busy doing rehersals with the fighters. The film would be released for Deepavali. Karthik who produces the film for Vijayam Cine Combines said their film unit would shift to Kanya Kumari . Probably it was for a fight in the sea near the temple.
