Not sure how much money vijay have to distribute to all :wink:

Irukkuravan amaithiya irukaan. Illathavan thambattam adichitu irukaan. No i'm not talking about Siva karthikeyan's rival here!

Kaththi breaking records left right and center, the Nellai crowd and fan frenzy among kids and women in the crowd, topping charts, online polls and even search on google, almost all trackers unanimously admitting VIJAY is the only guy with two 40+ share movies apart from Superstar (even their own guy IMK from BW) , Superstars from neighbouring state picking Kaththi as their favorite movie, yes I expected a lot of butt hurt comments but it's amusing to see its spread like cancer across BO, Kaththi and even Lingaa thread.

You nailed it. Keep calm and believe in Vijay :)

Agree to all points that Stardust mentioned. Even an average music album for a Vijay movie becomes a hit these days just cos of Vijay's star power. As Ajay mentioned, let's just keep calm and enjoy their frustration. Honestly speaking...I am loving this....as this is nothing but a clear reflection of change and Vijay's ever growing popularity and success.

Good one SD :)

Now a two-pronged trend is emerging.

To Google, Forbes, Rentrak Box Office and to all online trackers - Vijay gives money.

For fans celebration and Frenzy - Vijay takes money from fanclubs

As illogical or stupid the above two statements might sound :), still its all money, money and money.

We need to check our bank balances too, Ajay, Dammy, Vinod, SD, Raikks, MB, SD, Kumaran, Ramkumar, GSV, Samajith and all of us., either we may be receiving money from SAC/Selvakumar/Vijay or we many be contributing to Vijay's bank accounts. We need a check on our bank balances.

Even Aamir Khan spoke about how except Rentrak every other BO number is fudged. But we need to tell Aamir that even Rentrak could be fudged and that's how Kaththi butt-piercing records in US, Malaysia, UK, Australia, Middle East and other places were achieved.

Vijay is all over Rentrak and I was LMAO reading SamAjith's comment the other day urging our Mahatma to find some place there. A serious blank record there.

Forget Rentrak. How about some unknown Archana from CinemaLead walking up one fine day (and despite overwhelming sources/stats outside including the famous '45' tweet), writing out of no where (tagging the news to DoneChannel) that someone miraculously has 3 movies in the 100 Crore club. What prompted someone out of sweet blue to write an article to promote a '0' to a '3' suddenly?
Nah, na, na no money involved here, could be a freakish coincidence or absolute insanity from the writer. Mahatma stays clean.

Then, you see Ramesh Loss posting 2 pictures from 'Queue' saga every fortnight, one a full size photo offering clear view of the queue, the second a half-size close-up where our modern mahatma flashes a 1000 watt smile at the camera.
Nah, na, na no money involved here, could be a freakish coincidence. Mahatma stays clean.

The recent Farmer-avatar :):)

So our Modern Mahatma is growing vegetables in his open terrace. See how these cunning journalists have climbed Mahatma's house in the midnight braving dogs and caught a glimpse of it.

Biryani, Cycling, Aero-modelling, Aathi Chudi, Gym, what else?

Last month, I think it was Guitar classes and just a fortnight ago, planting vegetables on rooftop.

All self-interests which we all including Vijay might do it as a routine, but for our Mahatma though, some how these things reach the cunning journalists purview. Not to mention bike accident video, the stick-walk photos, that upside down spanking video, the iphones, etc., etc.,

Nah, na, na no money involved anywhere here, not at all.

And that gloriously stupid articles on how 'Mahatma likes Vanganna', Mahatma likes 'Self Pula' and predicts it to be super-hit for Vijay :):)

.....................

Kumudham's poll of 2013 is reflected in Forbes fame rank in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Google says Vijay is the most popular South Indian actor from 2004-till present.

Rentrak BO tracking put's Vijay below Rajni-Kamal and Surya following Vijay.

....................

But we know how he gives and gets money (?) to achieve all this.

:lol:

End of 2014....another great year for vijay...its evident his fanbase and box office pull growing for each movie irrespective of hatred....even though I didn't like jilla it has done great collection..kaththi without a doubt biggest blockbuster of this year ......truly a great Year for vijay and his fans

I understand when someone doesn't like an actor. Some people may obviously dislike Vijay for their own genuine reasons. ..but when this hatred is unnecessarily channelled to spit venom and personal abuse...and 1 or 2 even go to the extent of bringing his dad...family etc to try and pull him down...shows the mental state of these haters. Not that we as fans should worry about it...as such people are born to hate. Nor does it affect Vijay in anyway as he is only growing. People abusing him should realise that even his average fares make more money than so called hits of other stars.

"I" - Hero Vikram & heroine Amy Jackson are fans of Vijay.

Vijay, Suriya and Dhanush are Amy's picks

Amy Jackson, the pretty British lass, who is coming into her own in the Indian cinema space, thanks to movies such as Madrasapattinam, Thaandavam and importantly the upcoming Shankar movie Ai, recently interacted with Behindwoods on a variety of topics. Here she talks about her favorites in Tamil cinema, her future projects, her hobbies and also her dream role

"There is so much talent in Tamil cinema and I feel Dhanush has great performance skills. I also like Suriya and Vijay a lot.

Recently I happened to watch Raja Rani in a theater and the response was overwhelming. I thought Arya did a great job.

Regarding my future plans, I have finalized a couple of scripts and I will reveal them, when I sign on the dotted line. But, if someone has an action packed script, they may approach me as playing a role such as Lara Croft, is my dream.

My hobbies include horse-riding, yoga, of course shopping like all girls and spending time with my family and friends."
