It will be a prequel to Billa, and we plan to start the film early next year after Ajith completes his present assignments”.

On why he took a long break, Vishnu the cool guy that he is says: “Is there any rule that directors should come out with films like a factory? I am not insecure nor am I in a hurry to prove a point to somebody. I wanted to take time, write a nice script and come out with a good entertainer that will work with today’s young audiences”.

Vishnu also adds that the producer has not been fixed and he plans to give Ajith a new look and the film will have style and substance with no shades of Billa. Vishnu will have Yuvan Shankar Raja and cameraman Nirav Shah in his team.
