Vadivel- Can he do it?
By Moviebuzz
Can Vadivel change the superstar ratings in Kollywood with the release of
his Indiralokathil Na Azhagappan (INA) on February 1?
The Kollywood definition of a superstar is- He should be able to take a
fantastic opening irrespective of how good or bad the film turns out to
be, his fans should be able to sustain the film for atleast a week (now
even opening weekend would do). The idea is that the common man on
the street should be willing to spend their hard earned money to buy a
ticket, just to watch their favourite hero!
At the moment there is only one real superstar, who has all the above
qualifications and even a child will tell you that it is Rajnikanth! The
others who have been given superstar titles purely on the strength of
their openings and fan base are (in alphabetic order)- Ajit, Kamal Hassan,
Surya, Vijay and Vikram.
There are others also who had great openings but has not reached the
superstar stature, due to various reasons. Now a new guy called Vadivel is
threatening to enter the club, though others in this elite club do not want
him to be given membership! Vadivel feels that certain vested interests
are working behind his back to see that his solo hero films do not run!
According to sources close to Vadivel, there was a conspiracy against his
INA to see that it does not release for Pongal. He would like to forget it as
a bad dream and go ahead and prove himself at the Tamilnadu box-
office. If INA takes a super opening in Tamilnadu, it will ring alarm bells
for those opposed to Vadivel's rise. They dismiss Vadivel's last solo hero
film Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi as a fluke super hit!
INA is releasing big in nearly 200 screens in Tamilnadu and overseas
where the comedy king has become very popular. Vadivel supporters are
sure that INA will not only take a super opening, but will also be a hit
which will ensure that he continues to do solo hero films, at least one or
two a year like other "superstars"!
So If makkals...do you think he will able to do it?? 😉
