Vijay's Villu going to be Another Hit!

typical of vijay. he can never see anything beyond masala films. why? why doesn't he ever try a offbeat role for once? and wheni mean offbeat, i mean seriously offbeat like vikram's role in Pithamagan or surya's role in Perazhagan and not the so called villianous crap talking character vijay played in Azhagiya Tamizh Magan.

and knowing prabu deva's perverse way of portraying women in his films, he'll probably shoot nayantara's cleavage in about 40 different angles.😆😆 goody! it's going to be such a 'family' entertainer i tell you.😉😆😆

Isnt it typical...hero will always fall for the baddies daughter? Come on creative heads...come up with something new

Payya..hope it will be a hit...but who knows..it can be another ATM/Kuruvi 😆 Prabhudevas tamil maiden was a remake so it was a blockbuster (even though Prince rocked on the original one 😎 )

Meli.. Who are you kidding? And what are you talking about??

This is the first ever novel attempt at unique story telling..
This story is one of a kind and ever unheard of!

Vijay and PrabhuDeva have teamed up for setting a milestone in terms of story in the history of Tamil cinema!!

Vijay always made it clear that different make-up change or get up does not suit him which is true to a large extend. He just does not have a face/body like Kamal where any get up suits him. Also, Vijay said that he is more into commercial movies - movies that gives producer money. I dont see anything wrong with doing such kind of movies anyways. I always felt Rajini's commercial movies were big hits than Kamal's logical and unique movies. 😕

Anyways, the storyline mentioned in the article was just a speculation. No one knows the storyline. Even if the storyline is similar, I dont see anything wrong. Almost all the storylines in even the so called unique movies are the same. Just the treatment and how it is done is what differs.

Really! May be I don't know Tamil Cinema (the unique ones esp) as well as some do!

Hi Jenim,😛

Well, The basic storyline is very simple....Like in Parutheeveran. girl loves boy and he also loves her. Family does not accept the love, in the end they both die. Just the characterizations (Muthazhagu and Veeran), the background of the story are different and how the whole thing is dealt is different.

Mani Ratnam is a great director but I have found some similarities in some of his movies. The heroiens are usually very buddly and frank, they usually talk much more than the heros. Like Revathi's role in MR, Roja's role in Roja, Shobana's role in Thalapathi, Girija's role in IT. The heros are the calm ones, they talk less but have really powerful dialogues when they do. Like Mohan's role in MR, ArvindS in Roja, Rajini in Thalapathi, Nagarjuna in IT. I am not saying ALL different movies have the same storyline/characters but some do.

My point is that Vijay never claimed that he will do different/offbeat movies. He always made it clear that it would commercial. So there is no point complaining that he does not do different movies.

Cheers,
Meena

I know any one can easily come up with Paruthi Veeran as an example for a similar storyline. But that will remain as just one of the few unique movies with a similar storyline. Most of the other unique stories are not based on the above storyline.

I don't want to go into providing a list of unique stories, but I want to take this a few decades ago to the MGR era, when every single story (almost) was based on the above story line. Very imaginative of the story building team @ Villu.

Re: Vijay's claim - That is the point being complained about.

I think I made in very clear that not ALL unique movies have the same storyline but some do. I also agree most do have different storyline but like I said some do have the same storyline. That is what I said.

As of Vijay's claim. It is different actors viewpoint towards cinema. Not only as actors, even audience view cinema differently. Some just want complete entertainment and some want the story to be different. As a individual person, he believes that movies ought to be a complete entertainter. He wants to garantee producer's money. Dont see anything wrong with it.

As far as coming up with something creatives, It would be the director's job. I also wish that it would be different but if it is not, the choice to watch it or not lies with us. There are a lot of ppl who still love to watch his movies for various reasons.

Nope.. that's not what you said earlier.

This discussion "started" when you said "almost all unique movies have a similar storyline" - which I have quoted in my previous post. Now, that you are making amends to it, saying that only some do - I don't see a need for discussion on that.

Of course the choice to watch a movie or not, lies with the audience. That's not the point of the discussion. If I don't watch Vijay's movies as a fan, that does not mean that I can't discuss the stories that he chooses to act in.

That brings us to the point, it is not solely the director who is to be blamed for the story. It is after listening to hundreds of stories like this, that an actor of Vijay's stature decides whether or not to act in it. Yes, the director usually comes up with a one-line on the story and actors such as Vijay + Dir/Story team contribute to building it, with their inputs usually. That's what's popularly called "Story discussion" in the film circle. It would not be well thought out to say, a director is fully responsible for the story made for an actor of Vijay's calibre.

Which brings us to another thing: If it is the Director/Story ownership route that we are taking (that is actor has nothing to do with it) why did Vijay decline to play the role that Cheran played in Autograph? Since it went on to become a block buster, Vijay had mentioned in several interviews that it was a huge error on his part to have missed the role, when Cheran offered it to him.
