Ilayathalapathy's next film with director Vijay is the talk of the town even before Thupakki's release. The rumour is that they will have their first schedule in Spain but director Vijay clarifies, "We haven't decided which foreign locale to shoot yet. Since we go on the floors towards the end of November, Europe will be quite cold and we are yet to zero in on a suitable country." As for the leading lady, he says they are yet to sign anyone on as he is still working on the script. "But we have signed on Sathyaraj. He will be seen in a powerful role in this flick. And no, he doesn't play a negative role," he says. Interestingly, Sathyaraj was also seen in the Ilayathapalathy's last film, Nanban, the Tamil remake of 3 idiots, where he essayed the role of Boman Irani extremely well.
