Dear Mr Prakash Raj You booze....don’t you? Ah....don’t ask me how I figured it out. For someone who has been closely following the movies produced by you, it is quite very easy to conclude it. I can assume that you were drunk the night when the director narrated you this story and you agreed to produce it. What I cant calculate is that how did you draw money from your shelf each and every day? Were you intoxicated all that time till you released it to the theaters? There are no 2 doubts that you are an amazing actor.
You can play any role, be it a villain, psychopath, goofy, dramatic with a consummate ease that any actor on earth could envy. Its just unfortunate that we happen to see all your histrionics as a second lead when instead you should be the leading man in class A experimental movies. I bet that Mr kamal hassan and you are the only 2 actors who would have flourished if you had been born in Hollywood. Ptch...somethings cant be reversed back. You act with all the top actors in Kollywood.
All you need to do is find any of the bankable stars as Ajith or Vijay and buy a useless and lame trash script, add a few dappankuthu songs, sprinkle Vadivelu or Vivek comedy...and boom....your bank balance is up. And see what you do? You make a movie with Prasanna which is a soft romance and that too pulling the leg of assistant directors in Kollywood. Then you make movie about unemployed youths with unknown actors in Naam. Next you again choose Prasanna and biggest gamble...you hire a lady director. What are you thinking?
No double entendres, no rain songs, no hero-folding-hands-above-his-head-to-his-fans intro, no dappankuthu, no sister mother sentiment, no punch dialogues, no screaming villains. Whoa Whoa.....Now what is that? In this movie again you try to break free. You book an unknown Mallu PrithviRaj, you turn Jo mute whom we are used to seeing speaking at 40 words per minute, you yourself don’t scream, no physical disability sobbing scenes.....there we go again. Didnt your distributors warn you that your movie won’t even run for 2 shows in the rural areas? Didn’t they tell you that you could stand to lose money?
Oh boy...you didn’t hear did you? You are so much intoxicated by the love of cinema that all you want to do is produce good movies for us.
I would threaten you to not do that. You dont know about us. We tamil cinema fans drove the great Maniratnam away. He has found solace in Bollywood and with Guru declared hit and his next film with Aamir, it is bound to be a guaranteed success. I dont even fancy him producing movies for us. KamalHassan got dejected and is back to making mass appeal but still better comedy movies. All we have left are the Ramanas, Perarasus, Venkateshs who dish out the so called mass entertainers. Why would you then want to swim against the tide?
If not for some breather from you and Shankars movie house, we would have been gagged to death by these masala entertainers. Now that you have intoxicated us with such a nice movie....I threaten you....you better follw it up with another better one :-). A cinema fanatic Harish.
