Actor Vijay Antony is in a bit of a rough phase in his career for the past couple of years. For nearly four years, the Thimiru Pudichavan actor has had only two releases in the likes of Kolaigaran, and Kodiyil Oruvan. However, he has quite a few projects lined up in his pipeline to bounce back. The actor had a last outing in the political thriller Kodiyil Oruvan which hit the screens under the direction of Ananda Krishanan with actress Aathmika in the female lead. The entertainer failed to garner the attention of the audience. Now, the Naan actor has teamed up with filmmaker Suseenthiran for his next project christened Valli Mayil which is touted to be a rural drama. Actress Faria Abdullah will be playing the female lead role. The project went on floors last month with a small pooja ceremony. The team has just wrapped the first schedule of shoot which was underway in and around the surroundings of Dindigul including Kodaikanal, Theni, Karaikudi, and Palani. The team will soon begin shooting for the second schedule.
In the meantime, actor Vijay Antony celebrated his birthday recently. The production house shared a poster from the movie on the occasion to wish the actor. Taking to their official twitter handle, the production unit shared a poster from the film, and wrote, ‘Team Valli Mayil wishing our hero Vijay Antony a Happy Birthday.’ Here is the post made by the banner house.
