Velayudham is a film which has Vijay in the lead role and is to be released on Deepavali day. This film which has been directed by Jayam Raja has been produced by Aascar Ravichandran.

Jayam Raja while speaking in the press meet organized yesterday said, "I have so far directed six films. Out of which five were remakes. Velayudham is my 7th film. Through this I will be going to the next level in my career.
When Vijay sir met me, he asked me," You make films which have your brother in the lead roles. Will you not make a film for me?" I was not able to say anything when such a big hero asked me like this. That was how Velayudham materialized.

I am very happy now because we had given now what I had thought when I commenced Velayudham. As far as I am concerned I would say that a mass hero films are Enga Veettu Pillai, Basha and Anniyan. Velayudham will also fall in line with these films. The story of those films would have shown the heroes in various dimensions. I have also laced this film with social welfare. Let any number of Ones or Arivus are released, I will definitely say that Velayudham will be number one. There is no doubt in this.

Velayudham has all the commercial ingredients and will be different from my earlier films. There will be violence and glamour in this film. My next film is being produced by Kalpathy S Agoram. Many are asking me that whether I am going to direct Ajith. I have not even met him. But it would be better for me if I work with Ajith sir since I had completed working with Vijay sir. "
