Due to his political commitments, 'Captain' Vijaykanth had postponed the launch of 'Virudhagiri' last year, the film which would have marked his directorial debut. Even as his fans and supporters were wondering whether Vijaykanth would tread into the unknown territory of direction, Vijaykanth sis said to be showing interest in reviving the film. He has reportedly asked his close friends to 'keep watching' good English movies.

The friends have promptly selected a film after watching many films and brought it to the notice of 'Captain', who watched the film despite his busy schedule during the recently-concluded Assembly elections. What he saw must have pleased him, for Vijaykanth has given instructions to his aides to 'refurbish' the film to suit his own style and the Tamil 'culture'.

If the readers are interested to know the name of the film that impressed Vijaykanth so much, here it is: 'Taken'. Now, it can't be 'taken' for granted that re-makes are always successful affairs, isn't it?
