He is taking a simpler path than taking the hard path of exploring the differences in music styles and differences in personalities. In-fact, he could have made a genuine Raaja Vs AR film. Maniratnam did it in Iruvar. That is a blood clever film and goes into all sorts of grey areas, conflicts and even an underlying affection between MK and MGR. SJ Surya uses AR vs IR and the best he can do is think of a "revenge" story line? That is a cheap stunt IMHO..
