[Russellzhy]

if you remember ARM had said that he prepared the script for vj during Dheena...and later it is history....and there were good amount of caustic attacks on ARM....and vj wanted to work with a big director like ARM only after ARM became big league in India after Ghajini... the the equations changed all in a day or less....

VJ is one of the actor who gave chance to new directors whether u can digest it or not.

Vijay60 to be directed by
KV Anand
Post the roaring success of ‘Anegan’, looks
like director KV Anand is gearing up for his
next.
It’s a well-known fact that he approached
Vijay for ‘Anegan’ before Dhanush, but the
deal dint happen owing to lack of dates.
However, it looks like the director doesn’t
give up easily.
He has already approached Vijay with a fresh
script and got the ‘Yes’ nod. Reportedly, this
project is produced by Kalapathi.S.Aghoram
and talks reveal that, Nayantara and Anushka
Shetty will also play important roles in this
project. Harris Jayaraj is buzzed to be doing
the music.
The official confirmation about the ladies has
not arrived yet, however it’s confirmed that
KV will direct Vijay60.
Meanwhile, Vijay is busy with his next movie
"Puli" directed by Chimbu Devan. It is a
mega-budget project produced by Shibu of
Thameen Films and PT Selvakumar. "Puli" is
expected to hit the screens in July 2015.
After the completion of this film, he will be
heading for an untitled film directed by Atlee
Kumar of "Raja Rani" fame.
It is only after the completion of these two
movies that Ilayathalapathy will be starting
KV Anand's film.

Hey Bro,

Pokkiri was a great first day experience for me, as any other Vijay movie, but sadly, this is one movie that i prefer the least among all blockbusters of Vijay. Apart from the Pokkiri Pongal song, I don't remember seeing much of the movie or its scenes, repeatedly over the years.

Dharani made Vijay stamp his class and authority all over Ghilli, whereas Prabhu Deva made Vijay imitate Mahesh Babu in Pokkiri. Could be the reason why, to me personally, the movie didn't appeal much.

Nevertheless, a huge blockbuster and a I have heard many Vijay fans shortlist Pokkiri as their favorite movie of Vijay.

[ajaybaskar]

Yes. Pokkiri was a bad remake of Pokiri. One person who stood out in the remake was Vadivelu. His comedy was better than that of Brahmi and Ali in the original.

Vijay imitated MB and there was nothing new. That is why I was reluctant to add the film in the Top 10 favourite films of Vijay list that each one of us came up with few months back.

However these were my initial thoughts and the same film looked like a classic when the combo came up with their next,Villu. PD is one waste fellow and hope he doesn't direct any movie in the future.

[uruzalari]

I never get bored of Pokkiri. It oozes mass appeal. Could not get tickets First day. Then went to Koyambedu Rohini complex assuming could get one. But the film did not release there as there were some distribution issues due to the Aadhi debacle I guess. Then saw Aalwar first day Finally saw the film on the 3rd and 5th days at Devi. And later once again at Abirami. Had seen parts of Pokkiri Telugu before. Probably if the movie released these days I might not have enjoyed the almost scene by scene replica. But 8 years back it was pure fun. I still do not believe that Vijay made a mistake by imitating MB. Even now I feel had he done it some other way the essence of Pokkiri would have been lost.
I rate it as once of his best actioners. After the saturation point of having viewed multiple times Ghilli and Pokkiri....given a choice of which film to watch again my choice would be Pokkiri.

P:S: Rohini then released the film much later. Guess after 70 days though not sure about this exactly. This was also the sunset period of films running for 175 days and Pokkiri had a genuine long run.

[ajaybaskar]

That is true. Watched the film on its 100th day in Devi Paradise and the atmosphere was electrifying.
