Sudeep reveals his role in #Vijay58


27/11/2014
Ilayathalapathy's #Vijay58 with Director Chimbudevan is making all the right noises, The film is already hot in the market. Now actor Sudeep in a recent interview revealed few secrets on his role "If I say my role is very much parallel and equal to that of Vijay's role, it would be crap. It is not equal or parallel to his role. I play a villain and I wouldn't hesitate to say that we are all part of Vijay's film. Srideviji is the queen of my kingdom and I play her thalapathy. She is a good queen while I'm an evil one. But Chimbudevan has presented my role in a unique way. If it was just a villain, he wouldn't have called me. Of course, there is something more to all this, which I cannot reveal. I will be sporting a new look... with long hair and blue eyes."

Sudeep who is the highest paid actor in Sandalwood had this say on working with Ilayathalapathy  "I met Vijay long back during the shoot of his film, Madurey.  I spoke to him for two minutes and he communicated through smiles and nods of the head. Then, two years ago, I met him at Prabhu Dheva's party. This time, he had seen one of my Kannada films, and so there was a little more expression in his face. By then, I had decided that this personality was not going to talk anything and I was under the impression that he will continue to communicate through smiles (laughs). But now, he surprised me by chatting with me. He made me feel comfortable on the set and the next day, he invited me home for dinner. In fact, I even joked to him that it's only now that I'm getting a clear idea on his voice. What touched me was, he sent the car away and drove me back to the hotel. We spoke about cars, CCL, films, etc. Considering his stature, he's extremely sweet and humble."

On Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Sudeep said "He is the biggest star of the generation and lot of care has been taken to showcase his image. Whatever role he plays, it is expected that he should do a bit of comedy, dance and do a lot of things in every film. Vijay's role is nicely detailed. I will not say I play a parallel hero. My role is of the antagonist. It is not about playing an evil character. There are good and bad and lots of things. If it was just a negative character, I would not have been approached."

Reason why Kaththi is a bigger hit than SRK's Happy New Year


11/11/2014
This diwali was marked by two massive releases in Shah Rukh's Khan's Happy New Year and Ilayathalapathy's Kaththi. SRK's Happy New Year is moving towards a gross of ₹355 crore while Kaththi is inching towards grossing ₹110 crores worldwide.

Now on first look a gross of  ₹355 crore may mean Happy New Year has outperformed Kaththi but the actual truth is that Kaththi is a bigger hit than Happy New Year at the box office. Here are some reasons why


  • Bollywood's reach spreads to US, UK, Australia, France and even African countries. Even with such a global reach Happy New Year is struggling to reach ₹200 crore in India while it has overall made close to 355 crores.
  • Apart from South Indian states, Tamil films perform only in Malaysia, Singapore, UK and US meaning Bollywood movie gets 45% of collection from overseas but Kollywood it constitutes just 25%.
  • with Dhoom 3 setting the standard for Bollywood markets, grossing ₹355+ crore in India alone.Happy New Year is far lesser than the Bollywood standards. Whereas, in the history of Kollywood, only four movies have crossed ₹100 crore mark and Kaththi is one among them.
  • For Kollywood, Superstar's Enthiran remains the highest grossing movie with ₹150+ crore for the Tamil version and the success of Kaththi is no less than a big achievement.
  • Huge Promotions - SRK's Happy New Year was promoted in every nook and corner of India and the world. But Kaththi had very low-key promotions.Apart from few press meets nothing was else was done for Kaththi.
