Billa an complete review

Introduction:
For Billa the original cast was to consisted of Rajini in 1980. Now Ajith Kumar is set to start in the remake of same film. Nayanthara and Namitha are all set to play the lead ladies in Billa such as Praveena and Sripriya did in the previous version. The film is well supported by the rest of the cast. Director Vishnuvardhan along with producers selected the appropriate cast for the film.

CAST ROLE:
* Ajith Kumar as Billa: Director Vishnuvardhan first met Ajith on the set of Aalwar, where he appraoched him for a role in his new movie. In preparing for the role, Ajith got tips from Rajinikanth in order to perform with a suitable style. He also studied films such as Don and Billa.

* Ajith Kumar as Velu: In preparing for the role, Ajith got tips and ideas from Rajinikanth in order to perform with a suitable style. He also studied films such as Don and Billa. The role consisted of road dancing, so Ajith spend days preparing a look for this role

* Nayanthara as Sasha : Nayanthara was approached very late by Vishnuvardhan after considering many other heroines including some in Bollywood. Her role is to kill Billa, but then after learning that he is dead she falls in love with Velu.

* Namitha as CJ: The girlfriend of Billa who is part of the drugs gang, she even proves to Billa that she is willing to die for him. She was a late call of for the film after Shriya and Reema Sen were considered for the role.

* Rose Dawn as :She plays Nayathara's sister in law but tragically dies in the hands of the gangster Billa.

* Prabhu as DSP Jayprakash: The DSP who tracks down Billa and arrests him sending out an imposter by the name of Velu who looks exactly like Billa. Prabhu's call up was a huge boost for the film as his recent films Thamaraparani and Unnakum Ennakum have been huge hits from a supporting role.

Expectation:
The publicity of the film was initially created when Vishnuvardhan picked Ajith to star in the movie and hence named the movie Billa. Permission and allowance was asked from the producers of the yesteryear film Billa starring Rajinikanth in the lead role. Later there was confirmation that Rajinikanth had personaaly told Ajith to attempt the challenge of remaking Billa. The trend in Kollywood in recent times is to remake yesteryear hits and this has been backed by Vishnuvardhan who confirmed that this will definitely be a modern day interpretation of the old Billa starring Rajinikanth, Sripriya and Praveena.

When the cast showed Nayanthara opposite Ajith, for Nayanthara fans it marked her return to fame in Kollywood. She had previously been involved in an affair with Simbu and when they parted ways, indecent photographs of them was produced which dented Nayanthara's image. But nonetheless she is a heroine very high up the pecking order in Kollywood and Tollywood. She has put her past behind and is back in Billa, the combination will be a new and different one with Ajith Kumar, whose fans much anticipate any release of their actor.

Overall:

No dought the movie has reached the screens in a grand manner.There is a feeling that nayan and ajith relationship is not shown clearly and more over people who have seen the yesterdays billa wont be satisfied with ajith performance although he has done well .It clearly indicates that there is only one super star but technology and other things its an highlight.

BIlla 2007 an technological highlight
