Jilla || Ilayathalapathy & Mohanlal || Imman D

Apart from the fact that movies of Vijay and Ajith releasing at the same time, what is even more surprising is the genre. Both the movies seem to have good old-fashioned family/sentiment theme as the backdrop. Family audience are going to have a treat this pongal.

Add to that, the directors Naesan and Shiva, both of whom, one is not sure what to expect.

Last time around Pokkiri definitely had bigger buzz thanks to the Telugu connection and Prabhudeva. This time it is definitely Even-Stevens. Ajith is coming off a successful run and Vijay-Mohanlal combination makes for one thrilling experience. We are in for one interesting battle.

When was the last time two movies from two biggest stars, both with the same genre released in Tamil Nadu? In the Rajni-Kamal golden days, maybe.

Might be the fight for # 1 between them. Enna thaan Surya / Dhanush lam form aanalum even neutrals have to settle between these two for top 2 lead actors in TCC now. Intha pongal oru kalavara pongala irruka poguthu :shaking:.

As Pongal is nearing, a war has erupted over social media especially Twitter between fans of Thala Ajith and Ilayathalapathy Vijay. Remember, both their films Vijay’s Jilla and Ajith’s Veeram are slated for release on January 10, for the big Pongal weekend.

Ajith and Vijay have a huge fan following, which always gets them a huge opening. The fans are fanatical about their heroes as hero worship cult prevails big time in Tamil cinema from time immemorial. In the 80’s and 90’s star power was identified with huge banners, larger-than-life cut-outs, garlands and bursting of crackers.

All that has changed with the advent and growth of social media. Today, fans celebrate and glorify their heroes on Facebook and Twitter, which gives them more reach and instant recognition. It also comes free and fans, without any restriction go berserk in idolising their stars or running down the rival star in most abusive terms.


Today Ajith and Vijay fans are at each other’s throat showcasing their fanatism by creating provocative hashtags. And they are able to trend with these downright silly hashtags that hits out at each other. Remember these hashtags are all India trends, making Tamil cinema the butt of ridicule. Even in Bollywood where there is more competition between rival stars, the fans don’t indulge in such silly gimmicks.

Meanwhile both the actors in private are good friends. Sundar Raju leading production controller in an interview has said that Ajith and Vijay are best of friends. He says during the making of Mankatha and Velayutham, Ajith cooked Biriyani for unit of both the films while Vijay gifted a TAG watch in return to Ajith.

Will the Twitter hashtag wars in Kollywood stop? At the momet, it looks unlikely, as fans want to glorify their hero by running down his rival.
