Vijay sheds 8 kgs for his role in Kaththi

We earlier reported here that Vijay plays a dual role in Kaththi as Kathiresan, a political youth rebel and Jeevanantham, a role which has been kept under wraps. Apparently, Vijay has shed 8 kgs for this particualr role and toned down his physique. The team is on a continuous shooting spree till September 15th. A high intensity car chase scene was shot last night in the Avadi high road in Chennai.

The audio launch of the film has not been decided yet. It will happen on September 18th only when the team completes the final schedule before September 15th. Otherwise, it is likely to be postponed for a week and pushed towards the end of September. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film has Vijay, Samantha and Neil Nitin Mukesh in important roles.
