Directed by Prabhu Deva · Music by Vidyasagar · January 2009
Mass action entertainer directed by Prabhu Deva. Solid box office run.
This was Vijay's film 48 of 69 as a lead actor — counted from his debut Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) — released in 2009 during the 2000s.
Soundtrack composed by Vidyasagar
Second Vijay–Prabhu Deva collaboration after Pokkiri, with Devi Sri Prasad's dance-heavy soundtrack.
Villu (2009) was a well-received chapter in Vijay's steadily rising career, part of the remarkable consistency that defined his run through the 2000s and built the enormous fan base that would later power his political movement.
