With Thuppakki, Murugadoss teams up with Ilayathalapathy Vijay for the first time and he is currently busy filming for this high action entertainer.
The movie is set in Mumbai and the unit shot the first schedule there, with Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal taking part. Right from the Tamil Ghajini to the recent 7 Aum Arivu, it has always been Antony who edited Murugadoss' films.
Known for his high-tech editing, Antony is much sought-after by most of the Gen Y directors like Gautham Menon and A.L. Vijay. Now, Murugadoss is shifting loyalties and instead of Antony, he is to use the services of veteran editor Sreekar Prasad (Mani Ratnam's favourite) for Thuppakki.
This has raised many eyebrows. Inside sources inform us that Antony had a major tiff with Murugadoss while editing for 7 Aum Arivu.
Reportedly, creative differences cropped up between the two and the first thing the ace filmmaker did when he announced Thuppakki was to replace him with Sreekar Prasad.
