comic timing is fantastic: Murugadoss

Thuppakki sees the teaming up of director A R Murugadoss with Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal for the first time. In a candid chat, he reveals how Vijay exceeded his expectations, Kajal and more...

1. How is Thuppakki different from your previous films? I was very clear from the beginning that this would be a commercial movie. I wanted it to be like Superstar Rajinikanth's hit films that came out in the 80s and 90s - that was the feeling I wanted to give the audience. It should be fun, interesting and captivate the audience. This is an out-and-entertainment flick. You can watch this movie with friends, family and your kids. I wanted the audience to be able to watch the movie again and again and never get bored. And I think that's what I have made.

AUDIO

It was the D-day for all fans of our Ilayathalapathy. Yes, it was the audio release of the most awaited movie of the year THUPPAKI. The audio was released, with a small function happening at Park Sheraton, where the entire Thuppaki team were present. It was a all about patience that the Thuppaki team displayed all these days and managed to retain the same title for the movie and everyone in the function was very happy especially hero Ilayathalapathy Vijay.

The function started with a small press meet, after which the first teaser of the movie was released. The teaser looked slick and stylish and being the best teaser for any Vijay movie till date as the number of views for this teaser had already crossed 5 lakh and is still counting in just a day of its release.

After the teaser, the team also released the audio of the movie too. Musical score has been done by Harris Jeyaraj and the album includes a total of 7 track and with Vijay singing a song after 6 years has created lots of expectations as far as this album and movie is concerned.  The entire album has been received very well by both fans and neutral audiences and especially GOOGLE GOOGLE, the party number sung by our Ilayathalapathy Vijay has received a stunning response as people are going gaga over that song.

As Vijay's Thuppaki releases this Diwali there are few movies that are set to clash with it and Simbu's Poda Podi is one among them.

The Tamil film lovers eagerly await the arrival of Deepavali to catch the latest releases. Some filmmakers have decided to postpone their releases in an attempt to avoid their films from clashing with the big names such as Vijay'sThuppakki.

In a recent interview Simbu clarified that he was not competing with Vijay as he considers him to be more senior and as a star belonging to a completely different level.

Known to be die hard fan of Ajith Kumar, Simbu said that there was no intention of creating a box-office war between his Poda Podi and Vijay's Thuppakki and the media should never compare the two stars.

Only a handful of movies are boldly releasing on the same day as the Vijay-A.R. Murugadoss action entertainer. Thangar Bachchan's Ammavin Kaipesi being one and Simbu's Poda Podibeing the other.
