Son of a director and nephew of a music director . One is on the topand the other is gaining on on his semblance to the former.So here wehave Ilaya Thalapathi(VIjay) and Thiruttu Thalapathi(Jai). But somehow inspite of a large fan following Mr. Ilaya lacks acting skillsbut Mr Thiruttu has shown some hope that he is a better actor. Chinnais having a bad time as his Telungu remakes are too far fetched evenfor the Tamil audiences who can cope up with Rajnikanth beating up 100villains at a time or Vijaykanth running faster than a train.
Thefirst time I saw Jai was in Subramaniapuram song "Kankalirandal". Helooked really like a fool trying to ape Vijay in that song.The onlyexpression he could give was showing his teeth and nodding his head anda person seeing only that song can never hope him to be a good actor.But later when I saw the film, the scene in which he is begging for hislife at the feet of a lady, I could clearly say he has got far betteracting skills than Vijay.
Vijay on the other hand has come thisfar by trying to ape gimmicks of Rajni and be a mass Hero.But Rajni isRajni and anyone else trying to ape his charm can make a fool out ofhimself. Vijay is good in his fight and dance but fails at the actingpart. The only expressions he can get to his face are ogling his eyesand showing his teeth to show he is angry or playing funny by walkinglike a boy with polio.
So man, in history we have seen manypeople trying to take advantage of their semblance to a reigning starbut fail. But this time I feel like Jai is really in for the game as hehas got better acting skills. Let the stars shine on ThiruttuThalapathi and make him able to make a niche for himself in hisforthcoming films.
Look out ILAYA, THIRUTTU is on his way up
