If
there is a prodigy in Tamil cinema then he is
the one. He turned director last year but not
with the best of results. However he remains
to be a big draw getting 1.5 crores for a movie.
His last hit was in 2004 (Manmadhan), but that
does not seem to deter him from proclaiming
out loud and clear that he wants to be the next
Superstar. Industry sources opine that if only
his movies were more tightly budgeted, none
of them would have incurred losses. Quite a
loyal fan base ensures a good opening for his
movies. Made at close to 4.5 crores, his movies
sell for nearly 6 crores. His next is yet to
be confirmed. He was christened ‘Little
Superstar’ by his dad, whether he leaves
behind the ‘Little’ and moves on
is something only time can tell.
