Billa II is an upcoming Indian Tamil gangster-thriller film directed by Chakri Toleti. It is a prequel to the 2007 film Billa and would focus on how David, an ordinary man from the coastal regions of South Tamil Nadu, becomes Billa, a dreaded underworld don, with Ajith Kumar reprising the role of the titular character.[3] It also features Parvathy Omanakuttan, Bruna Abdullah, Vidyut Jamwal, and Sudhanshu Pandey in supporting roles, all of whom make their debut in Tamil cinema.

The film, which is being produced by Wide Angle Creations in association with the Hinduja Group company IN Entertainment, was officially announced in November 2010, with Vishnuvardhan as the director. Due to conflicting dates, he was replaced by Chakri Toleti, while a new script was penned by a team involving Toleti and Eric Felberg. Filming, which commenced in July 2011 and was completed by December 2011, took place primarily at Goa, Hyderabad and Georgia. Billa II is expected to release by early June 2012.[1][4]

Production

Development

In 2008, reports claimed that Soundarya Rajinikanth was planning to make a follow-up after noting Billa's commercial success, to be produced by Ocher Studios in association with Warner Bros.[5][6] However, the sequel did not materialise and the idea was dropped, with Ajith Kumar, Vishnuvardhan and Soundarya getting busy with other projects.

In 2010, sources confirmed that Vishnuvardhan had finished penning the script for a prequel, which would star Ajith Kumar as the titular character again,[7] and would commence in 2011.[8] The project became officially announced in late 2010, after Ajith Kumar signed up to the prequel and first production poster were published to the media.[9][10] Further details were disclosed, with Suresh Balaje, son of producer and actor K. Balaji, who produced the original Billa with Rajinikanth, and George Pius from Wide Angle Creations banner, being confirmed as the producer,[9] who would associate with Mumbai-based IN Entertainment Limited, a Hinduja group company.[10][11] The entire production team of the Billa remake, including cinematographer Nirav Shah, editor A. Sreekar Prasad and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja, were announced to be retained for the sequel.[12]

In a turn of events, Vishnuvardhan opted out of the project citing that his dates clashed with the making of his Telugu film, Panjaa (earlier titled as The Shadow).[13] Chakri Toleti who directed the 2009 Kamal Haasan-Mohanlal starrer Unnaipol Oruvan was subsequently signed on by the producers to direct the venture.[14] In May 2011, Chakri Toleti held his first press conference stating that production would begin in late June 2011 and revealing that "Billa 2 would focus on how David, an ordinary man from the coastal Thoothukudi in South Tamil Nadu, becomes Billa, a dreaded underworld don".[15] David's character was afterwards widely reported to be either a refugee from Tamil Eelam or a Tamilian from Sri Lanka.[16][17] Both the director and the producer refused to confirm the statements, disclosing only that the film would depict David's journey over a period of five years.[18]

With Vishnuvardhan's exit from the project, his script was also scraped, and Toleti along with Ajith Kumar began penning a new script for the prequel.[14] Yuvan Shankar Raja only was retained from the original production team,[19] with the rest of the technical crew being finalised in the following weeks.[20] Hemant Chaturvedi, who hitherto had worked in Bollywood productions only, was signed on to replace Nirav Shah as the cinematographer after the latter's schedules clashed with the making of his other film, Vettai.[21] However in July 2011, Hemant Chaturvedi too moved out of the project, fearing that the delay in commencement of Billa 2 may hurt his chances in Bollywood, and R. D. Rajasekhar was appointed as the new cinematographer.[22] Selvakumar who had notably worked in Madrasapattinam was selected as the art director.[23] The crew also announced that the film would become the first Indian production to be filmed with an RED EPIC Camera, being shot at 5K resolution.[24] Writer Ee. Raa. Murugan, who had previously collaborated with Chakri Toleti in the Kamal Hassan-starrer Unnaipol Oruvan, was appointed to write the dialogues.

Casting

From the previous film, the producers made it clear that apart from Ajith Kumar,[25] Prabhu and Rahman, most of the other characters would not be retained. The female lead role was expected to be handed to Anushka Shetty, but despite media speculation she was not signed on.[26][27] The female lead role was handed to debutant Huma Qureshi, a Mumbai-based theatre actor who had previously been featured in commercials, with Toleti finalising Huma after a nationwide search for an actress.[28][29][30] However, she was removed from the project by September 2011, owing to changes in the script,[31] and became replaced by Miss India World 2008 Parvathy Omanakuttan later that month,[32] who the director had spotted and offered the role of Jasmine at a fashion show.[33] Parvathy described her character as a "simple girl who transforms into a modern person" and that Billa looks up to, adding that she was had more scenes in the "emotional part" of the film.[34] Bollywood actress and model Bruna Abdullah was selected to portray another significant character,[35] which she went on term as "super powerful, very strong and sexy".[36] Besides Abdullah, another Brazilian model Gabriela Bertante was recruited to perform a dance number alongside one more model.[37]

Television actor Krishna Kumar, who made appearances in Kaavalan and Deiva Thirumagal, was signed on to play a "dirty cop".[38] In June 2011, Sudhanshu Pandey, a former model who has appeared in several Hindi films, was given the role of a "greying ganglord", who becomes the mentor to the yound David,[39] whilst Malayalam character actor Manoj K. Jayan was roped in for a "key role".[40] Actress Vimala Raman was signed on to make a special appearance in the film,[41][42] however she opted out in July 2011 citing date problems.[43] Meenakshi Dixit was later finalised for that role and shot her scenes in July 2011 during the first schedule.[44] Vidyut Jamwal, who played negative roles in the Hindi film Force (2011) and the Telugu film Oosaravelli (2011), was selected to play the villain, also making his debut in Tamil cinema.[45] In December 2011 sources revealed that Sricharan, who starred in Payanam, was shooting for a supporting role in the film.[46] Reports in February 2012 suggested that the team was trying to sign Nayantara, who played the female lead in Billa, for a cameo role;[47] the actress refuted the rumors.[48] Furthermore, composer Yuvan Shankar Raja on Toleti's insistence agreed to make a brief appearance in one of the songs.[49]

Filming

The film's production was delayed as Ajith Kumar's previous film, Mankatha, progressed beyond the anticipated completion dates. In March 2011, the producers released a press note that the film would begin in early May 2011, however this failed to happen.[50] During that period, it was also suggested that Billa II may not be Ajith Kumar's successive project and commence only after the actor completed a film with M. Raja.[51] Eventually, a photo shoot was held in June 2011 with Ajith sporting an appearance of a man in his mid-twenties.[52] Principal photography eventually commenced on 14 July 2011 at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.[40] Filming during the first 30 day schedule throughout July and August 2011 was held in Hyderabad and Vizag.[35] As part of the schedule, one song was shot in Pondicherry under the direction of choreographer Raju Sundaram.[53] Both actresses Parvathy Omanakuttan and Bruna Abdullah joined the crew for the second schedule in Goa,[54] that lasted for 39 days and ended in the first week of November.[55]

In the third week of November, a unit of thirty-six members left for Georgia in Eastern Europe for the final 20 day schedule of the film.[56] In Georgia, the crew filmed at the country's capital, Tbilisi, Borjomi and Rustavi.[57] The climax portions were filmed there against a snowy backdrop, for which aerial shots were done from a helicopter.[58] The stunt sequences were partly choreographed by an award-winning German-based company led by stuntman Stefan Richter,[59][60] while other action scenes were done by Kecha Khamphakdee's Jaika Stunt team.[61] Approximately half a million dollars were spent for the whole schedule in Georgia,[62] which was finished by mid-December.[63] In February 2012, the remaining scenes, including the film's title song,[64][65] were canned at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad,[66] despite the ongoing strike in the film industry.[67] An item number featuring Brazilian model Gabriela Bertante was shot in a studio in Goa.[68] Although producer Kheterpal named Bangkok, Thailand as a potential location for filming,[2] shooting was not held there. The entire filming was completed over a period of 90 days.[69]

Soundtrack

Untitled

Yuvan Shankar Raja, who had also worked on the score of Billa (2007), composed the soundtrack and score of Billa II, becoming his fifth project starring Ajith Kumar. The album would reportedly feature six tracks, including one promotional video song.[70] Na. Muthukumar agreed to write the lyrics for the songs.[71] In a departure from convention, the lyrics were penned first which were set to tunes later.[72]

In January 2012, reports emerged that the team was trying to rope in international rapper Pitbull for one of the tracks,[73] however the claims were deemed untrue.[74] Later the month, Yuvan Shankar Raja left for Florida, US, Chakri's home place, to finish the compositions.[75] During the trip, he had composed a "melody song".[76] Singer Krish informed via Twitter that he had lent his voice for a R&B style song that would be the introduction track of the protagonist,[77][78] while Shweta Pandit was reported to have performed one song, too.[79] However, Krish's version was later replaced by Yuvan Shankar himself.[80] Sources further suggested that the album would contain another remix of "My Name Is Billa",[81] originally composed by M. S. Viswanathan for the 1980 film that had been previously remixed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the 2007 remake, which was proven untrue upon the release.

The audio launch was initially to be released in mid-March 2012, but was then pushed to second week of April. Rajinikanth was approached to unveil the soundtrack, with the team supposedly rescheduling the audio launch to suit Rajinikanth's dates, who had left for London for the filming of his film Kochadaiyaan.[82][83] The soundtrack was unveiled on 1 May 2012, coninciding with Ajith Kumar's birthday.[84][85] Sony Music Entertainment that marketed the album of Ajith Kumar's previous film Mankatha, acquired the music rights of Billa II as well for an unprecedented sum after some weeks-long negotiations.[86] In the week before the audio launch, Sony Music began releasing teasers of each of the songs every day and promoted them across social platforms.[87][88]

The soundtrack received positive response. Kaushik L. M. from Behindwoods.com rated the album 3.5 out of 5 and stated: "The Thala Yuvan combo continues to rock with another youthful album. Until the next biggie comes around, Billa 2 will stay on top of the charts merrily".[89] Rediff's Pavithra Srinivasan gave it 3 stars out of 5 and went to add that Yuvan Shankar Raja had "infused certain freshness to the music", describing it as "quite promising".[90] Musicperk.com rated the album 7.5 out of 10, while citing that all tracks were "good in their own way" and that the composer had tried "something different from his previous albums". The reviewer concluded that it was better than Billa's soundtrack.[91]

Critical response

The soundtrack received positive response. Musicperk.com rated the album 7.5/10, quoting "Better Than Billa".[92] Indiaglitz rated it 4/5 for "Yuvan's experiments and adapting many ideologies in his music", saying "This may not turn out as Yuvan's best album, or it may not be liked by some of the fans. But, the fact is that Billa 2 is a very good album. It will be enjoyed by a lot of people."[93] Behindwoods rated it 3.5/5 and said "Until the next biggie comes around, Billa 2 will stay on top of the charts merrily."[94] Rediff gave it a rating of 3/5, quoting "Billa 2 is worth a listen."[95]

Marketing

A first teaser poster displaying the new logo design was published in Diwali 2011,[96] while the first posters depicting Ajith Kumar's look were released in January 2012 during the Pongal festival.[97] From late February onwards, further posters featuring Ajith were unveiled,[98] with one poster in late March portraying a young Ajith carrying a kerosene can on a boat that led to speculations over the character's origin.[99] On 13 April 2012, a one minute teaser trailer was uploaded to YouTube.[100] The teaser garnered over 500,000 views within the first three days of its release, setting a new record for Tamil films.[101]

Release

The overseas distribution rights were sold for ₹ 5.3 crores ($ 1 million) to the US-based company GK Media, the highest ever for a Ajith film.[66] In March 2012, the local media corporation Sun TV Network bought the satellite rights for a record price,[102] with sources estimating the price at ₹ 6.25 crores.[103] Three prominent production houses were reportedly trying to purchase the domestical theatrical rights then.[104] Venu Ravichandran's Aascar Films eventually acquired the theatrical distribution rights for Tamil Nadu for approximately ₹ 26 crores.[105][106] All the distribution rights of the film, except the Kerala and Hindi dubbing rights had been sold at a record price of more than ₹ 40 crores, making Billa II one of the top pre-release revenue generating films of all time in the Tamil film industry.[107]

Billa II was initially planned to release on 13 April 2012, coinciding with Tamil New Year, but the release was postponed to 1 June 2012, and a 2 minute theatrical trailer likely to release on 1 May 2012, coinciding with Ajith Kumar's birthday,[1] with the makers considering to bring forward the film by four days to release it on a Friday.[108] However, the release became further delayed and was pushed to the second half of May 2012.[109][110] A dubbed Telugu version of the film would be released in Andhra Pradesh.[111]
