ஐ - Shankar + Vikram + Amy Jackson + ARR

[venkkiram]

I like Vikram as an actor, so I definitely wish him well... however I don't like Shankar as a director - he's a truly talentless guy who basically built his own "career" on other people's talents...

Still, I understand Vikram had to work really hard during the production of the film, as it was a very physically demanding role... so I wish him well... Hope his efforts get the appreciation he deserves...

Never read this different angle anywhere. Though I also don't consider Shankar as good director, I don't brand him as a talentless guy who basically built his own "career" on [i]other people's talents... I still consider the flashback scenes of movies Gentleman and Jeans the best from Shankar so far. Few scenes from Indian (including Manarama's emotional burst) and Anniyan (Ambi scenes) also came out very nice. And the climax of Enthiran. Rest.. everything looks plastic to me. The problem with Shankar is he don't understand what a good direction is. When it comes to versatility, he is nowhere.
