our thalapathy's Thuppaki : 60% shooting is over

Thuppaki is getting shape really fast, one has to say. Director AR Murugadoss, who normally takes time to complete his films, is shaping up the Vijay-starrer on a fast track and 60 per cent of the shooting is over so far. "Four songs and some talkie portions remain to be shot, which we will be doing soon," says Murugadoss, who is planning to start the Hindi version of the movie (with Akshay Kumar in the lead), by August. 'Thupaki' would have been completed by this time, if there was no break in the shooting. The tussle between the producers and workers haltedthe shooting schedule for some time, resulting in the movie's delay. Being produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu, 'Thupaki' has Kajal Aggarwal as heroine. Buzz is that Vijay is playing a police officer in this action entertainer. Music is being composed by Harris Jayaraj.

Vijay gets a new set of fans

It was reported already that the Vijay starrer Thuppaki is being shot in some public places in Mumbai. AR Murugadoss wanted some real locations instead of the sets and has obtained permission from the authorities concerned to film in some real locations.

At these locations, some great stunt sequences are being filmed. Interestingly, Vijay is doing all these stunts without opting for a dupe. Sources say that the Ilayathalapathy wanted a real-effect since the director has taken so much of pains for the shooting.
