This is how Vaseegaran describes his creation.
Well, there has already been a bit of dust
kicked up over the use of ‘an’
instead of ‘a’ (only regular Behindwoods
readers will be able to grasp this!). The
dialogue by itself gives us a clue of what
Endhiran is capable of; he can take down a
huge force all by himself. There is also a
portion in the trailer where Aishwarya Rai
refers to the Robot as a ‘Superhero’.
One can’t resist the temptation to draw
parallels between these dialogues and the
accolades that have sometimes been showered
upon Superstar. If one remembers rightly,
it was around a decade back that Rajinikanth
was first referred to as a ‘one man
industry’. Indeed, when one man’s
presence can create such huge frenzy, such
unprecedented excitement, push ticket rates
through the roof (you can take a Chennai-Delhi
flight on one of those low cost airlines for
the rates that are now being quoted for Endhiran
tickets; in black of course – you got
to be crazy to go anywhere near a counter),
blot out all other movies from screens and
public minds, and go for a record 450 shows
a day in Chennai city only, then there is
surely nothing wrong in calling him the ‘One
man industry’. And, when the same man
plays a ‘one man army’ on screen,
it is totally acceptable and thoroughly enjoyable.
