The unit has quite a few who are working with Vijay for the first time. The director, the cinematographer "Shriya," he volunteers with a smile. "What I like about her is her commitment. As she doesn't know the language, she asks for her dialogue the previous day, learns the meaning and pronunciation and comes prepared for the scenes the next morning," he compliments. And A.R.Rahman is also fairly new to a Vijay film. "He'd done music for my `Udaya' earlier. [The film with Simran had faced problems and the delay cost dearly.] He's already given us three songs, out of which we've canned one at Karaikkudi a family song that has a group dance, with Shriya and me." For the duets, the unit will travel to Russia and Mauritius.
