“Pokkiri
is different from my recent films”,
says Vijay
January

The
recent films of Ilaya Thalapathy have
almost been of the same action genre.
Stunt and fights were the core theme
of films like Sivakasi, Adi and Thirupachi.
Amidst such films, his Sachin was
a soft romantic film. But this was
not well accepted by his fans and
he once again reverted to action movies.
But his Pongal release Pokkiri is
said to have romantic elements along
with action in it.
There is a specific lift scene which is reported
to be shot for a longer duration with Vijay
and Asin. This scene would have all the ingredients
of soft romance and light hearted comedy in
it. Vijay in an interview had mentioned that
this sequence is sure to be the highlight of
the movie. On anti hero and different subjects,
he does not mind trying them as he had already
tried a similar one in “Kannukkul Nilavu”.
But the film was not much welcomed among his
fans. Hence he has decided to work in films
which are liked by his fans, favorable to his
producers and distributors. Good strategy indeed!
