An open letter to the guy in the pic below:
Yes, I just happened to see your latest flick. Oh... My... God!!
I just want to know why you act in such movies. You could do much better than that. You could try something different than your typical "Mass Masala Movies" (which by the way seem to work only for you!). But just because they work for you, does not mean you could carry on forever like that...
Other actors: Make atleast a crore less than (sometimes half of) what you do.
You: Last heard, 4 crores a film. One movie for Diwali, Pongal and Tamil New Year, that is a whopping 12 crores a year! If Rajinikanth is not considered, you are easily the highest paid actor in India when annual salaries are compared!
Other actors: Publicity and marketing needed to some extent. Willingness of producers to spend money on it and news feeds in print/electronic media are much needed to pull crowds to the theatre.
You: You seem to be a one-man publicity machine.
Other actors: Their movies sometimes flop, sometimes do not... 50 per cent success...
You: Your success rate at the box office.. for the past five movies.. er.. close to 10O? Next three movies.. also close to 100!!
Other actors: Satisfy their fans.. partially.. may be.. try to atleast..
You: No questions asked. You rock!
Other actors: Affairs, rumours, gossips...
You: Clean Slate! General good-boy image.
Other actors: Box Office "OK's".
You: Mass Hero!!! Your ability to make your producers smile all the way to the bank is unbelievable. You seem to have mastered the Midas touch. Other actors simply are clueless as to how you can do that. May be you yourself dont know the answer...
You dont even look better than the average of the average guys, hardly act differently. Is there anything that is going to stop you though? What makes you click? If it is your "mass image", how did you even get it in the first place??!! I wish to know, please.

come on machi being a mass hero aint come jus like tat.give the man his credits. i think it heriditary what MGR passed to Rajini AND thalapathy to illaya thalapathy so no logic only magic
Neyar Vendigolku madhippu kuduthu, post edit seyye pattulladhu ;-)
I also like Vijay, but wish he could really do different movies.. andhe adhengathulle ezhudhe patte post adhu!!
And I also think that he is the FIRST lemme say FIRST guy ever to have some dress sense in Tamil FIlm Industry rite...
his latest movies have gone Nadar in Quality...but as u said he is capable of much more than he is doing forMass appeal...I mean look athis Kadhaluku Mariyadhai....very subtle yet very powerful!
Me already said it - hes good in everything miss one theres till the others - but i think its more to do with go for his movie ure guaranteed a good time ;) just forget logic
@me: Yeah, I guess that is primarily the reason
@vee-jay: Unge peru adhu naale than appadi surukki vechirukkeengella ;-)
@sukku: sorry.. post edited, enaku nadippe interest illai; aana politics le irukku ;-)
@awakeningcoma: Sorry mams.. thandangalikku varindhugirom :)
@IBH: Yeah, his dressing sense for some songs were really good.. like "Ennavo Ennavo" from Priyamanavale..
@sathyus: True, especially with Asin and Trishhhh around
@visithra: Yup, enterntainment guarenteed.. plus intro scene worth watching in theater i guess :)
@kalai: Nope.. post panne reason vandhu avarai better films kudukke solli oru vendugol ;-)
post start le "Ah..Aah" padam mathiri climax vandhududhu :)
super analysis of the superstar clone, 'tamil nattuladhan xerox copyku kaithatal varum, anda xerox superstar odadha irunda'. vijay is superstar xerox so kandipa kaitattal varum!!but kevelamame xerox copy
I hate....pardon me I am too harsh..I just can't stand..pardon me again...I don't like...this Vijay.!! Not sure why.!! I have not watched any film of his till date.!!
You summed it up neatly in the last para. Some are lucky.!!
@vatsan: But I guess as time passes by, he will have his own identity and there may be Vijay xerox copies in the next generation ;-)
@Venkitu Sir: Most ppl I know dont like him; but Tamil Nadu thinks otherwise ;-)
Vijay sure did have a long wau ten years back you should have seen him.. I think he has just been humble all the way through proabaly thats one of his secret of sucess
not his mistake.... he gets the collection...which means that the audience is just awesome...
wake up guys.
hey ..maybe u were right.. his new movie could have been a lot better... i saw it only yest and wanted to let u know that i did feel he is capable of performign even better
Ps: y no new post????
tata
sukku
@nanyaar?: Yeah, he is probably following someone's ideal footsteps!
@senthil: he he.. nalla badhil..
@sukku: Yes, thats what I felt also. New post viraivil..
a) Upteem flops in the beginning of his career
b) Lotsa support from family
