That's not what I heard!
My point is that an actor consciously decides that he does not want to take any risks, then no point forcing him to do so or criticize that opinion of his. 😊
Why not?
Frankly, I cant imagine Vijay doing Cheran's role in Autograph. Vijay already established himself as a commericial hero then, so I really cant imagine Vijay doing Cheran's role.
It is because of this halo around the head, the "establishing" factor that is been referred to here, that we don't get to see his real talent as an ACTOR. I can imagine Vijay doing the lead role in Autograph. Just that he has not really ventured into doing something like that. Until such time he does so, we'll never find out whether it suits him or not.
Again, I never said commerical movies garantees money to the producers. It was Vijay's POV that I repeated. Thats all. Also, I never said offbeat movies dont do well, when I was taking about Kamal's offbeat movies, I said that comparitively, Rajini's commericials were big hits. Thats all. Personally, I prefer story with logic and good characterisations. So in no way I am for commericial movies. 😊
I never said "you " said any of these. I was responding to your quoting Vijay.
BUt my point is that, Vijay does Not want to take risks. He has an opinion that commericial movies suits him the best and he decided on that route and embraked on that. He said that in interviews that it was his conscious decision to do commericial movies. I dont see anything wrong with that.
May be it's you... but not all of us think that way though!
Like you I also wish he gets different kind of stories but frankly, I really cant imagine him in really kind of roles. Wait, I cant even imagine him in the top class business man's role with classy suits like Surya in Gajini.
Yes.. the image thing that he has created is true.
But our point is, it is upto him to break it and not blame it/qualify it on making profits for the producer. And that's the point I was trying to make earlier. Not all his commercial movies made in this belief, are successful either!
