| Vishal
alters the list of top heroes
in Kollywood!! |

If
the screams in the movie halls running
Thimiru and the ‘once more’
shouts and not to mention, the soaring
collections are anything to go by,
then do not be surprised; Vishal has
definitely hit the bull’s eye.
Thimiru’s overwhelming success
in the opening could well sweep over
‘Something’ and ‘Aran’
released a while ago. While the opening
reports suggest a massive hit in the
making, we certainly may have to wait
for a few days to reiterate the status
of Thimiru in the box office. |

The
new poster boy of Tamil cinema
The new kid on the block; that’s
what he was not very long back.
But all of a sudden he is being
seen in a very different light.
Yes, he is the new poster boy
of Tamil cinema; after all he
just managed a hat trick. We
are talking about the Thimiru
boy, Vishal, or should we say,
the Thimiru man. He is proving
to be a big man in the film
industry. He has just shown
that he is not a spring chicken;
he is out here to survive and
he is doing that in style. |

In
an industry where your star value
depends on your current box office
status, Vishal is hot property. After
all it is money that matters in the
end and all his films have ended up
making loads of them. He is currently
the toast of the producers who want
to sign him and are willing to pay
a sum in excess of 1 crore to get
his dates. Now that is something that
is offered only to stars who can guarantee
returns. These offers of more than
a crore put him in the top 10 rankings
of Kollywood stars, at least in terms
of salary. |

An
alarm to others
He has now got ahead of the
more familiar and pedigreed
names of Dhanush and Simbu.
He has done this in double quick
time and has sounded quite a
warning for other biggies in
the field. If he can rise to
such a position within a matter
of less than 2 years, then nothing
seems to be out of reach for
this budding star. |
|
|
|
In fact he now has left even the comparatively
senior Madhavan, Arjun and Sarath
Kumar way behind, not to mention others. |

What
makes him click
Now the big question, what is
it that makes him click. Some
say it his dark complexion,
which bears striking resemblance
to the Superstar’s. Some
say it is the clean good boy
image that he has managed to
create for himself over the
short period. Like it or not,
Vishal has now got fans, and
a whole lot of them are college
girls, his guy certainly seems
to get popular really fast.
News is that the girls are berserk
over this tall, dark, handsome
perfect-Tamil-look actor and
he received a surprise kiss
from a fanatic fan while shooting
for his Sivappathikaaram in
Madurai. Any more evidences
required to substantiate that
the star is being taken in? |

His
latest Thimiru is getting very good
reports at the box office and can
possibly push him even further. While
the movie is doing good business,
music of Thimiru is yet to be adjudged
as the best chart topper. While Looking
at his age and his abilities, he surely
can go a very long way. Already he
might be giving jitters to the top
guys of the industry. Ajith, Vijay,
Vikram and other stars have not had
all that splendid runs at the box
office and they know that one flop
is all it will take for Vishal to
take a peek at their positions. |

A
real challenge for Vishal…
But, that is a case
of easier said than done and
Vishal will have to work very
hard and be extremely cautious.
He has to choose his projects
wisely and avoid getting stereotyped.
Going by what he has done so
far, he has the wisdom to choose
well. But the real challenge
may begin when he leaves the
shadow of his home banner and
does things on his own. |
|
|
|
He
has already begun that with Sivappathigaaram.
How that movie does will be decisive.
That may reaffirm or spoil his newfound
star status. Till then Vishal may
bask in his glory and sound the alarm
for his colleagues. Go Vishal. |
