I have already attached screen shots with both movie saying house full(veeram 1 show not full). Not sure what 2 funny guys are discussing about :lol:
Fully agree with the article. Articulates my thoughts as well. The thing is they need to redefine themselves as was done by Rajini that was completely radical in thinking compared to MGR. At this rate, they'll only be inspired or imitation superstars rather than original which will be Rajini forever ...
Lol that was a bad article, not surprising coming from sudhith. I am not going to say anything about Vijay but Ajith is different. Rajini is different from MGR and Ajith is different from both. Ajith's films are mostly action films with less romance and comedy. They lack drama and emotional quotient. Rajini usually plays auto guy, paal kaaran etc. His characters usually revolve around families and the films are mostly action family drama. What Ajith does is different. He just plays action roles devoid of sentiment, drama romance and comedy. He plays lot of characters with grey shades. He doesn't do slapstick comedy or run around girls. Ajith wants to remain mass hero but he is different in his approach. MGR wanted be a mass hero and he was. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he was in his own way and Ajith wants to be one and he is in his own way. Rajini never played full fledged negative characters since he became a superstar(?). Ajith did. Actually there is more similaries between MGR and Rajini than Rajini and Ajith. The former two mostly played paasakkaara annan frend etc types of roles and potrayed them as do gooders in almost all their movies once they reached superstardom but you can't really say the same about Ajith. Villan and Veeram belong to that category but Varallaru, Billa, Aarambam and Mankatha are not like any films Rajini would do in 90s.
Another thing I disagree with sudhidh is that he writes people wanted Rajini to be a mass hero. It's like people chose him to play these larger than life roles but which is not true. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he acted in movies that would take him to where he wanted to be.
