Redefined villain roles with his own original style in comparison to his predecessors like PSV or Nambiar who were top villains in their own right. His brand, and he started attracting fans right then ... There were people who admired him more than the hero (eg. Kamal) and fan rivalry started right around that time.

Character roles like mullum-malarum, 6to60 - top class.

Comedy came naturally to him as well - Netrikan and ThilluMullu to name a few that are spoken about even to date. FYI - Ajit remade Billa from Rajini's Billa(which was remade from Hindi Don, Amithab). Rajini did that one way back in 1980. All this when he was almost at the top.

Where is the similarity with MGR, sir ?

Its only mid-late 80's he started doing larger than life roles mainly seeing the audience and fan responses. Kamal and Rajini were close 1 and 2 and soon Rajini edged him out to take the top slot. Even here, similarities with MGR were only in the playing the nice guy part.

Coming to Ajith - Ajith had a long history of doing romantic roles right from his first movie aasai and was soon crowned kadhal mannan with plenty or romance and chasing girls dose. It was only later, fairly recently he started doing roles with negative shades, which is fine.

>Rajini never played full fledged negative characters since he became a superstar(?).

Agree mostly here but he can do it in a heart beat and turn the movie into a top grosser eg. the negative role in Endiran.

Ajith hardly has Rajini's range in villain, comedy, character roles etc. You're only looking at his do-gooder roles at his height of stardom.

I don't know what you are trying to convey with your post. I am not sure if you diagree with me or not. maybe I am wrong but I think you missed the gist of the article. What the article implied was Ajith is similar to Rajini in the way he is trying to be a mass star and he needs to reinvent himself. I was arguing against it. MGR Rajini and Ajith are all mass stars but they are all different. Rajini served variety in his early days but we ain't talking about that. Ajith did a lot of love stories , drama based movies but they are irrelevant. My point is MGR, Rajini and Ajith are totally different but they are all mass heroes. Rajini wanted to be MGR of his time but his style was not similar to MGR's. Ajith wants to be the Rajini of his time and he didn't inherit Rajini's style. Ajith reached stardom mostly playing negative characters and sustaining his stardom doing the same. Rajini acted mostly in do-gooders roles to sustain his stardom in the way MGR did but you can't say the same about Ajith. Their goal is the same but they have taken quite different routes to reach where they want to be. So I don't see how Ajith is similar to Rajini.

Sorry to say this but please read the article.

I don't understand how your reference to joker character diagrees with my point.

I would like to say one point with reference to the Sudhish Kamat article. :)

This article is not about Rajini but about Ajith and Vijay. Just like how the article talks about Ajith and Vijay mimicking, copying, impersonating style and mannerisms of Rajini and the way the same movie stories as Rajini is being put in the article, the same way Sudhish Kamat and other similar journo writer critics can't write a self-styled article without bringing in references to MGR, Sivaji, Rajini and Kamal. :)

And my personal opinion about this article is that the critic Sudhish Kamat has more openly directed it at Ajith rather than the other person. :)

And one more point to be noted is that Rajini was more criticized than Kamal in the 70-80s era just like how Ajith is being criticized. :)

The more the person is being the criticized....the BETTER cause it shows the popularity of the person among the MASSES. :)

You might be true..... But I think when we identify ourselves as a fan of one of the two mentioned we always feel our man has been targetted more than the other
