[Mohan kumar.]

Rajni and Kamal are different from Ajith and Vijay. Rajni and Kamal have following beyond their fan base. A rajni movie or a kamal movie easily becomes a talking point at homes. Vijay and Ajith are more in lines with Vijayakanth, a niche fan following - of course much larger than Vijayakanth. Rajni and Kamal has long before became a cultural entity of Tamil nadu, while Ajith and Vijay are just movie stars with a large fan following. Apart from different factors, this is also because of their acting ability. You need skill to do get into household by doing MMKR,Thillu mullu, Sathi leelavathi, Thevar magan, Mannan, Muthu (I dont think wither Vijay or Ajith can do Muthu/Mannan from Rajni's filmography, let alone a thillu mullu/Johnny/ Mullum Malarum).

Both of them want to be Rajni. Rajni can do comedy, romance, drama between a matter of few scenes without any strong script and still can convince general audience and keep them hooked. Can Ajith and Vijay do it? If they cant, they have to be satisfied with the large niche fan following they have. Forget about becoming Rajni/Kamal.

Completely disagree with these points... They might be true if we think in the shoes of people in mid-thirties to mid-fifties now.. I dont think a SS movie gets more attention in social media than a Vijay or Ajith movie now.. Exposure in the social media is the need of the hour & it is the state-of-the-art tool to measure the actor's support & , not the talking points at home..

Its not necessary for Ajith or Vijay to do Mannan or Thevar Magan now.. Acting under good & talented directors is more than enough & those directors wont need Mannan or Thevar Magan script to reach all. They know the current audience pulse than any of us here..

No actor can make a film success on his own but a director can.. Only thing they(Vj & Aj) have to do is select good directors & scripts in which they have failed many times recently.. No need to care about the title SS which may or may not retain its current significance( like MGR's or Sivaji title) considering India's massive demographic advantage.. They & we can believe in the title 'Thala' & 'Thalapathy' which might become more powerful than SS.
