He
is the man of the masses. He has nearly perfected
the art of entertaining people with dialogues,
songs & dances, and an equal number of fights.
Playing Vijaykanth’s younger brother in
Senthoora Pandi put him in favor with Captain’s
fans. The openings that his movies take are truly
astonishing. His movies sell like hot cakes as
soon as they are announced. His movies are almost
sure of collecting a minimum amount from theatres
(Minimum Guarantee).He is paid nearly 3 crores
a movie and is also given the distribution rights
for some areas - a testimony to the guarantee
of success that he brings. The budget for a Vijay
movie is somewhere between 7 and 7.5 crores. They
sell at a price of close to 11 crores. These are
the figures that have been collected since the
release of Pokkiri which is turning out to be
a big hit. |
