Illayathalapathy fans all over Kovai were in for a treat, as the actor made a whirlwind visit to Coimbatore on the back of Nanban's immense success. At the press meet organised by Cosmo Village Pictures, Vijay was truly in his element. Casually attired in a T-shirt and jeans, the actor distributed giftsand laptops to underprivileged men and women, spent time with his fanclub members, and even joined us for a friendly chat. "I really don't know much about the collections and profits thateveryone keeps talking about. I only ask people one thing — whetherthey're happy once they leave the theatre. I was requested to come toCoimbatore to see the response to Nanban, and I personallyyearned for interaction with the audience and press as well. I, myself,had wanted to see a new Vijay in a movie, and I'm happy that it'sworked out," he smiles. So, why did it take him so long to embrace a different role? "Well,I couldn't do it myself; I needed a director to back me with a goodscript. After Kaavalan, this was one film in which I wasoffered a different role, thanks to Shankar Sir. This is easily one ofmy best films," says Vijay. On the experience of working with his Nanban co-stars, hequips, "Both Srikanth and Jiiva were my friends before the shooting;now we've become even closer! I'd been waiting to work with SathyarajSir for so long and finally got the chance to. He has no fights orchases in the movie, but he's pulled off a new type of villainouscharacter brilliantly!" Was he also a trouble-maker during his college days like his character Pari in Nanban?"I was a normal student honestly. Yes, the occasional mischief didhappen, just like any other youngster," he admits. Vijay shares a bitabout his next venture, Thuppakki, with director A.R.Murugadoss, "It's a story set in Mumbai and I just finished a 35-daylong shoot there. It's a movie in an altogether new dimension, and I'mreally excited about it." Nanban's message was to inspire youngsters to follow theirhearts and take up the careers that they desire, so would he let hisson do the same? "Absolutely! My responsibility is to be a good parentand provide Sanjay with a basic education; he can do whatever he wantsto after that," he laughs. A quick tour of Coimbatore followed, with Vijay visiting theatreslike Central, KG Big Cinema and Archana-Darsana, and even watching themovie for a few minutes with the surprised, excited crowd of cheeringfans. All izz well, indeed!  |
