Vinyak Mahadev Vs David Billa

Vinayak
Mahadev in Mankatha and David Billa in Billa (2007)
are arguably the two most powerful characters
Ajith has ever played. Of course there were characters
with class and versatility, but when you think
about power, the two characters that jumps in
front are Vinayak and Billa.
And how about this for a fantasy. David Billa
fights with Vinayak Mahadev for money and power.
Both are violent, dared to do anything for money
even they will go to an extent to kill their loved
ones. More than anything they never give up until
their last breath. How would it be if two characters
which were well conceived by audience dash each
other in a fresh movie with a new creative story
and screenplay?
The moment when you visulaise this, you either
think this as a great idea or just another crap.
And to be honest this is not my very own idea,
while travelling through Venkat Prabhu’s
Twitter page I just saw an Ajith fan tweeted as
Vinayak meets Billa in another 2 years. I was
impressed with this tweet and was grinding my
thoughts which made me to come up with a column
of this kind. It really amazed me a lot when I
started visualizing this. And then I realized
that yes, this could be practically possible.

Here,
in a Q & A format, I share my views and doubts what
every reader would have if this idea were ever to take
off in terms of implementation and other difficulties.
1. First of all don’t you think it is juvenile?
Every idea which comes out of box will look mediocre.
What matters is the end result. If it clicks it will be
looked upon as a great idea on the other hand if it fails
then you will receive a very bad response. So everything
depends on how well it is been executed.
2. Is this a column by an Ajith fan or you analyzed
various actors and picked Vinayak and Billa? If so, why
did you pick these two characters?
No I haven’t done any research work with other actors.
This column is by a diehard Ajith fan. And the reason
why I picked is that both characters have negative shades.
The atmosphere could be electrifying if these characters
(which have lots of energy, cruelty, cunningness, power)
dash against each other to rule the underworld.
3. Will this be a cake walk for a director to
handle a script of this kind?
No, it will even test the patience of coolest ones. With
just a spark you can create your story and screenplay
in any dimension. And expectation would go sky high and
more than that each fan will visualize how this will shape
up in his / her own terms and you could win only if at
least you match the expectation level. The director who
handles should come up with a smart screenplay which exceeds
the expectations.
4. Tamil Cinema is now in a phase where we speak
about world class movies and discuss about how to lift
ourselves to international standards. So is this the right
time to come up with an experimentation of this sort?
Why not? It doesn’t matter what the trend is, if
the screenplay could entertain the audience and make him
/ her enjoy and travel with the film for 2 and half hours
then you can make any kind of experimentation.
5. Alright, honestly speaking, do you think this
is practically possible?
I may even write another 10,000 lines justifying its possibility
but still this question will arise. I just like to answer
this with another question. Folks, do u think this is
an impossible task?
6. And now this idea has been discussed online
and what would media write about the director who takes
up this and how much credit critics would give to his
smartness?
Good question, but the real smartness of the director
will be revealed about how he makes a story and screenplay
out of it. There is a lots scope for the director to show
his creative strength.
7. Do you think Ajith fans would love when an
Ajith dashes with another one?
Why not? Vaali, Attagasam, Varalaru are some examples.
There were sequences in these movies where they actually
enjoyed a lot. And the clash between the son and father
Ajith where he gets up from the wheel chair in Varalauu
has received a tremendous response among audience and
Ajith fans. Just imagine an atmosphere with a twist of
similar effect when two powerful and violent characters
like Vinyak and Billa are up against each other. The moment
I think about this atmosphere my mouth whispers (just
read this is Veera Rajini’s style) “Aoooowww
is it”
If this becomes reality then I would like to suggest a
tagline for the film. How would this be for a tagline?
“The Don vs The King Maker”
