Re-makes are minimum guarantee and Vijay well knows that. Now that everyone is smart to this, there is a lot of confidence in success of re-makes.
Ajith has been acting in a string of re-makes like 'Kireetam,' 'Billa' and 'Egan.' After 2 moderate films, Vijay is acting in 'Villu,' a re-make.

Dhanush's story is also a re-make. His 'Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram' was a copy of the Kannada 'Jogi' and was a flop, but his 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini' copied from a Telugu film ran a 100 days.
Dhanush is now acting in Suraaj's 'Padikkadhavan.' Next is a film directed by Vetrimaran, then the re-make of the Telugu 'Arya.' It is directed by Jawahar, who directed 'Yaaradi Nee Mohini.'
