#ThalapathyVijay was supposed to do
#Run.
#SAC sir heard the story, and it felt like a love action film. After
#Thamizhan, he felt
#Vijay’s standards would increase, and going behind a girl wouldn’t look good or suit his image. However, they still went on to do the
#Ghilli remake later.
For
#Sandakozhi, after the 1st half narration, especially the “Paiyan Mela Yaaru Kai Vacha” portion,
#Vijay was very excited and impressed. But after the father character’s introduction, he said he didn’t want to do it and told me, “Anna, venam na.” He said it didn’t feel right for him and was clear about his decision. After the movie’s release, at the 10th-day success meet, he came to me and said, “Anna, pichitinga na, padam super ah irunthachu.” I angrily replied, “Neenga thaan 2nd half kekala.” He then said, “Ipdi oruthan (
#Vishal) industry la varanum iruku. Avanku thaan idhu sari.” The Thalam Podura fight scene was conceived for someone like
#Vijay, but I made it work for
#Vishal. However,
#Vijay’s route of doing only commercial films was great. Even though many of his commercial films didn’t run well, he made sure to keep his route clear by doing only commercial movies. He was also supposed to do
#Vettai, but after hearing other half of the second half, he didn’t like it.
#AlluArvind sir didn’t like
#Sandakozhi because the main villain was beaten in the first half itself.
#Bhagyaraj asked me not to repeat the mistake of defeating the main villain in the first half. But my point was that the second half should travel from the main villain’s point of view he has been beaten, and now he wants to defeat the hero.
