Jayam Raja shares his happiness and says "Its my long time wish to direct Vijay and finally I made it with Velayudham. The film is all about a common man's vision and how he fights against bad situations and make everything work in a right way is the Velayudham's main theme. After going through the script I have only one thought in mind that it's only Vijay who can do justice to the role of Velayudham".

After signing him my next big confront is to give good reason for the mass image of Ilayathalapathy. Velayudham is almost complete and the film is going to be a real good treat for his fans. The audio is going to be launched soon and Vijay Anthony has given outstanding tracks which will best suit for Vijay's mass image.
