| Vijay:
Slow and steady to win the race |
|
| |
Vijay is on a threshold of his
career when it is highly imperative
for him to give a hit. The career
graph of Vijay was a steep line
with successive hits of Gilli,
Tirupaachi, and Sivakasi. Producers
rarely complained of a loss
and he even earned a name of
‘producer’s delight’.
Meanwhile when he tried a soft
romantic role in Sachien, his
fans did not accept him, which
made him get into a set mould
once again. When his action
movie Aadhi failed at the box
office, it was time for Vijay
to wake up and start analyzing
his career.

Vijay vs X Y Z
Barath the young blood has demonstrated
that he has immense acting potential
in addition to dancing skills
and is consistently giving good
hits with good story line. Arya
too has shown his mettle as
an actor and has started figuring
in films with renowned directors
like Bala. His archrival Ajith
has put his past behind and
is threatening to create a ripple
in Kollywood once again with
Aalwar. Vishal is simply treading
the tested path laid by Vijay
and is reaping rich dividends.
He may even be a threat to Vijay
as his style and manner of operation
is just like that of Vijay. |

Needless to say, Vikram and Surya
are totally in a different league
and have laid a perfect and strong
foundation in revealing their versatility. |

Emerging trends in Tamil
cinema
On the other side, Tamil cinema
is slowly developing into a
distinctive class. New and young
directors have given it a different
and healthy dimension and movies
catering to the mass and class
are being manufactured from
the tinsel factory. Taste of
people has changed over a period
of time and the multiplex culture
has taken the cinema by storm.
So at this juncture, sources
reveal that if Vijay is not
very careful in choosing his
films he will be swept over
by the tide. This has led to
a very cautious approach from
his side and Pokkiri his next
film is being sculpted inch
by inch by director Prabhu Deva.

Most expected Pokkiri
Shooting of Pokkiri is progressing
in Andhra amidst tight security.
A fight scene has been shot
for the past one week. Prabhu
Deva being the perfectionist
makes no compromises with even
a simple shot. Vijay having
understood this is giving his
best as always. This film is
said to cater to audience from
all strata ranging from frontbenchers
to balcony crowd. Tamizh is
the name of the character Vijay
portrays in the film, which
promises hard-core entertainment
on the genre of Kakki Chattai.
Prabhu Deva being the director
has instilled a kind of rhythmic
movement in Vijay’s walk.
“It appears as though
Prabhu Deva has gotten into
Vijay”, say the unit people.

A
mannerism of Vijay wherein he salutes
with a somersault at five feet above
the ground is going to be talked about
for a long time and is sure to figure
in all fancy dress competitions of
children for some time. Stunts have
been executed with a lot of perfection.
Pokkiri is expected to hit the screen
after Pongal |
|
As
long as the bar is at a normal level,
there is nothing to worry but when
it is raised, it requires more determination
and hard work to stride greater heights.
Vijay understands this perfectly and
Pokkiri would be a live example of
that. All the best Vijay |
