Kajol is all set to make a comeback in Kollywood after two decades, with Dhanush's 'Velai Illa Pattadhari 2'. She will play a character named Vasundhara, a “self made, awesome woman” as the actress described her. When asked why she chose the movie, given her debut and the last stint in Kollywood was the 1996 blockbuster 'Minsara Kanavu', the 'Dilwale' actor said, “Number One, because of the fact that I liked the script. Number Two was the fact that they lied to me and told that I didn't have to speak Tamil in the film. I actually thought that I would have 50 per cent of my dialogues in English, which is a lot, but let me tell you, it is not 50 per cent. It took me a day or two to get used to it. To look a little better doing it. I think I have managed convincingly so far.”

She was all praise for director Soundarya, and called her “wonderful”. “She was very focused, very clear, knew exactly what she wanted from every scene, how she wanted to shoot it, etc,. It was a pleasure working with her,” Kajol said. About co-star Dhanush, she said, “He is very talented. He has written the screenplay as well as dialogues for the film. He was very, very interested in how to work it around. They really made an effort to work around me as well to make sure that everything went off well.”
