I am not gonny deny it. For me this is one of the very reasons I will be stepping in to the theatre to watch the movie. Just imagine a film like ' The Fountain' or 'The Avatar' in an Indian set up and try making a film. That's original enough for me and since its been directed by a Selvaraghavan who already made me sit up with Aayirathil Oruvan (again not completely original at all ).
I agree with you on one thing, his effort in introducing new genre to tamil cinema is laudable. I liked AO to an extent, heck I could even end up liking IU, Selva-the person isn't going to put me off from watching it. If you read my first comment again, you'll realise I was judging him and not the movie.
