Any actor old/new, especially in TN who have been revered and treated as demi gods have always had a purple patch in the beginning of their career wherein they win a lot of fans/fanatics. They are like a sensation and they largely appeal to the youth of the generation.
Then comes a prolonged period of consolidation wherein they make a lot of mistakes or even their smallest mistakes are highlighted/exaggerated, come in for a lot of criticism and face a lot of pressure. Most of the actors fizzle out at this stage as either thier fans/fanatics desert them or they lose sustainability.
A tiny/teeny group that manages to come out of this stage, largely retain a big fan base and go from strength to strength thereafter. These are the elite actors who are celebrated. MGR, Sivaji, Rajini, Kamal to name a few.
We very well know that Vijay has gone through Stage II and has managed to come through. Vijay's fans here are a good mix of people who have been his fans for more than a decade and there is a good proportion of them who are new.
Likewise, how many people support Surya here? How many are die hard Surya fans here?? Surya has barely crossed the first stage and is likely to find the transition from Stage II to Stage III nearly impossible. Karthi might outsmart him any time. So before worrying about what other actors and their dads are upto, geetham should first hope to see Surya make progress and sustain to be compared to the likes of Vijay/Ajith in his generation.
