Vijay knows his onions; with Vettaikaran he focused on delivering comic entertainment in the first half pushing the serious one-man-army part to the story to the second. The Vijay factor, a couple of hit numbers that have been on the charts, and Sun Pictures going all out with the promotion, especially the ‘Deal or No Deal’ tie up, all played a part in Vettaikaran’s hunt.
