August 17, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Ajith Kumar and Vijay have been sharing a great rapport from a very long time as they worked together in Kireedom. In fact, director Vijay keeps on singing praises of Ajith Kumar that he is a mixture of superstar Rajnikanth and Padmashree Kamal Haasan.

The latest buzz is that Vijay will wield the megaphone for Ajith Kumar's 51st film. The actor has now signed Venkat Prabhu for his 50th movie, Mankatha, and the film will go on floors from September 8th of this year. Since, this will be a long project extending up to Jan-Feb 2011; the project involving Vijay may take off only in March.

Meanwhile Vijay has been signed to direct Vikram's next movie, yet to be titled. According to the sources, Vikram was very much impressed with Vijay's storyline and agreed to work with him.

Vijay has now made a place for himself with a successful hat-trick Kireedom, Poi Solla Poram and the recent release, Madharasapattinam.
