![]() ![]() The audience appeal has shifted allegiances and has turned to movies based on true social incidents, spawning stars who are unlikely to get a second look if they were to walk on the street alone. Kollywood has turned to the artistic appeal of small-town bamboo and thatched-roof structures of Tamil Nadu’s interiors within which lie several truths of private vice and public vendetta. Because both the films are clear departures from the recent trend that has engulfed Tamil cinema and may not go down well with the recently cultivated Tamil tastes. Yet, the summer battle between the two is likely to be lukewarm. Both are indirectly indebted to hero worship. Dhanush is Rajnikanth’s son-in-law, Simbu is the son of T Rajendar, a popular star of yesteryear. While Mapillai stars Dhanush, Vedham’ stars Shimbu. Both films were released in an election time. The other release in election season is Vaanam, the remake of Telegu film Vedham. The reason for the cancelled show, was an audience that was more interested in the original version of Mapillai, the 1989 Rajnikanth- starrer.
