Vijay plans another bash for Thuppakki-times of India
Thuppakki is turning out to be the biggest hit in the recent years for Vijay and the star actor is planning to throw another party with the film making profit with each day. Thuppakki has made wonderful collections at the Tamil Box Office.
Vijay had earlier thrown a success party for the whole team to celebrate the success of Thuppakki and seemed to have specially invited the antagonist of the movie Vidyut Jamwal. The party was attended by many celebrities such as Vikram, director A R Murugadoss and all other crew associated with the movie.
Vijay is currently shooting in Mumbai for his next flick with AL Vijay with Amala Paul paired opposite to him. The actor plans to hold the party after once his shootings schedule for the movie gets over.

I beg to differ. I dont want this project to happen for following reasons.Quote:

2) Shankar's scripts are same. They all revolve around corruption which has been discussed to death. Nothing new story wise.
3) He makes sure movie's budget shoots to the roof and even if the movie is a super hit it will only break even. Spends a lot of money on CG and songs. For instance in Nanban illeana song is not required at all then why to spend unnecessarily. May be in his next movie I he might have painted a flight with all rainbow colors for a song. God save the Oscar films.
I would prefer VJ to work with ARM again than Shankar.
Unless Shankar produces this movie (like Mudhalvan) and assures to complete it in less than 6 - 8 months then VJ is definitely taking a risk.
Hope for the best.

Agree with most of your points. But I would still want Vijay to make a full-fledged movie and with age still by his side, even if things go horribly wrong, Vijay can bounce back. But what if everything works fine?Quote:

Superstar and Ulaganayagan when they joined hands with Shankar, the result was almost unheard of in Tamil Cinema. When I watched Rajni in Baba d Chandramukhi, i thought i was seeing the last of him. Nobody can deny what Sivaji and Endhiran did to him and now it stands 1 and 2 in all-time lists.
The others in the Dependable ones are those who give an impression that they are perennially busy without setting the box office on fire. They are the ones who can afford the dates that a Shankar movie demands and they have everything to gain for. Arjun, Prasanth and Vikram of now are those heroes who were always busy and yet were more than happy to work with him.
As you rightly say, Vikram (during Anniyan) was probably caught in between. He was neither a superstar nor the second one. He was going through a purple patch and probably thought a Shankar movie was the pinnacle. Pinnacle it was for Vikram, as he lost precious years which allowed Surya to leapfrog Vikram. Vikram is still struggling to capture lost ground and hope ‘I’ lifts him up. You are absolutely right on this.
Vijay though I think is in a better position to take a chance.The period between ATM and Sura is almost barren and despite this poor form,neither his fan nor his own confidence deserted him. Now that he has had some significant successes, a good Shankar movie would be all that we can ask far. I really hope, Shankar weaves his magic and Vijay relishes his second opportunity.

I personally felt Endhiran & Sivaji huge success is because of Mr.Rajini factor. Shankar's role is just minimal. We all know Sivaji's story is nothing new and Endhiran's story/scenes is inspired (read lifted) from Hollywood movies like iRobot. If Shankar is able to attain the same success (match at least Sivaji's collections) with his next Vikram movie then definitely he should be applauded.
IMO, it was more of the coming together of the best in business including the Superstar that worked in favor of the 2 movies. I don't think 'I" would match Sivaji....but it would definitely make better businesses than any of Vikram's recent releasesQuote:

I agree that Indian and Sivaji took cinema above, but all of Shankar's movies had nonsense factors surrounding it. Indian would've been excellent weren't for Urmila's portions and 1 song less. Anniyan, love scenes were soora mokkai. Sivaji? Same thing along with unnecessary comedy scenes. If you look at the common picture, Shankar seems to shoehorn in unnecessary elements and getting him back to previous without Sujatha will be akin climbing mount everest (Nanban was google translated, sorry script engineered by Karky and Shankar, I don't really count that as a post-Sujatha victory yet.) Yes, the Ileana song was unneeded and stretched runtime to 3.5 hours.
We don't even know whether Suba could carry off a film like "I" properly. We've seen their work in 180 & recent Maattrraan, maybe they could fail too.
I'd rather Vijay stick with ARM. I wouldn't mind a Gun sequel too.
ATMUS: #Thuppakki continues in 8 screens for another week - Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Jose, Fremont, Edison NJ, Chicago and Detroit.
Thuppaki Songs Toping the Chart for 8 Weeks

Kerala Box-Office –Nov 12 to 30
Tamil superstar Vijay has taken Kerala box-office by storm with his Thuppakki. The film was released on Diwali (November 13) in 124 screens, with even small towns playing it in two screens. Thuppakki went on to gross an amazing Rs 7.26 Cr in its first two weeks (Nov 13 to 26), which is phenomenal by any yardstick for another language film in Kerala. It is the clear number one at KBO, by a mile.
The trade buzz is that Shibu of Thameens the distributor of the film made approximately Rs 3 crore in two weeks, for a film which was purchased for Rs 2.50 Crore! Thuppakki is a super hit in Kerala and has a life time potential of doing Rs 4 to 4.5 Cr business for the distributor.

Watched it second time today, liked it even better than the first time.
ARM smartly used Sathyan just to ask questions which were in audience mind as they watch Vijay's silent moves. Vijay answers him and so the crowd understands whats happening and watches it with the flow, pucca masala film making :clap:
Vijay's screen presence, dialogue delivery in the climax, the scene where he rescues his sister, in fact the full second half :clap:
Vettri Theatre ( Chennai ) :#Thuppaki becomes the highest grosser ever after #Enthiran @VettriTheatres * Congrats to ARM& Team.
Blockbuster or Flop..His mass has never diminished !!
