Vijay wants to do Rajini's film

Vijay, many Kollywood observers, have said is the true follower of Rajinikanth's formula.

So it should come as small surprise that Vijay has evinced interest in doing a Rajini movie as a remake.

As everyone knows, today's fad is to remake and re-interpret hits of yesteryear.

Bollywood has started the trend. There is a talk of Tamil movies too following suit.

Among Rajini's hits, Billa and Thee are billed to be remade again.

In this context, Vijay, asked by a Tamil newspaper, has specifically said that if Rajini's blockbuster Murattu Kalai is remade, he would want to play the title role.

In a sense, it is also apt that somebody like Vijay, who has a mass following, take up the mantle of Rajinikanth.
