His last film under AR Murugadoss' production, Engeyum Eppothum, took him to great heights. Jai teamed up with Anjali of Angaaditheru fame and Engeyum Eppothum became one of the most talked about films in the recent times. Not only was the film dubbed in Telugu, but the movie also gave a fillip to Jai's sagging career. And now, Jai seems to have a hit the jackpot once more as he has been approached by none other than team of Thuppakkki, which has Ilaiyathalapathy Vijay in the lead.
According to sources, AR Murugadoss, one of the producers of the film had approached the actor to play Vijay's brother in the film. Sources say that Jai has a powerful character in the film and is likely to join the unit if all goes well. The film also stars
Kajal Aggarwal and Vidyut Jamval in pivotal roles. Interestingly, Jai made his film debut as Vijay's brother in the film Bhagawathi.
In the meantime, Jai is also busy shooting for Vettaimannan, with his close friend Simbu. The film is believed to be a gangster flick and thus has many action-packed scenes. Jai also has Arjunan Kadhali in hand opposite Poorna, which is believed to be in the post-production stage.
