It seems that actor Vijay is clear about his priorities to act in films directed by popular directors. Close on the heels of signing 'Thuppakki' with A R Murugadoss and '  Yohan Adhyayam Ondru'   with Gautham Menon, the Ilaya Thalapati has signed a movie to be directed by Vijay of 'Madrasapattinam' and 'Deiva Thirumagal' fame.

A hunt is on for the lead actress while G V Prakash Kumar will compose music for the movie. It will be produced by a leading banner, say sources.

'Both the actor and the director are busy now. While the former has to do 'Thuppakki' and 'Yohan Adhyayam Ondru', the latter has to complete 'Thaandavam' with Vikram. So their project together will begin only in the middle of next year,' the sources add.

The latest buzz is that Vijay will sing a song in the film. Earlier in his career the actor had tried his stint at  playback singing  'But Vijay was not keen for pursuing play back singing after he became a big star. However, G V Prakash has convinced him now,' maintain the sources.
