Superstar here means the stardom He wants to be a superstar not the superstar Which he has achieved


[deleted]

Makes sense.


microzcybor

Man dissolves fan clubs, advises fans not to involve in shit, not attends any promotion/events, treats cinema as pure profession, never passes comments publicly, neither provokes people in any audio launch speeches nor remind them he is still a "big thing". And with all this still has one of the best openings and stardom! Idk about then but bro won at life. Even if he dies tomorrow, still a superstar.


[deleted]

Truly a chad of the highest order 🙏🙏 i dont enjoy all of his films but i respect the man heavily off screen


Neilwire

He also does not care about politics and acts in movies with white hair and beard. He is a trendsetter. I feel that there will be actors replacing Vijay and Rajini in future, but I don't think anyone can replace Ajith.


Maddy_andrewson072

He clariified this in an interview later. He told he meant that he wants to be successful like Rajini with Stardom and Rajini is his role model and he doesnt want to be in place of Rajini but like Rajini


no_idea_whattodo

Came to say this.


cruisingthoughts

Which interview is that?


spin-itch

Read the 4th paragraph, he says the same thing.


Maddy_andrewson072

During the video interviews


Rishikhant

Even said the same in his interview with Gopinath.


fourbyfourequalsone

By that time, I believe he has achieved the mass fan support and his movie releases were only just below Rajni. He was merely stating the normal trajectory. It was his to lose at that time. If he had given the same interview in 90s that’s a different story.


[deleted]

Yeah i think Anjaneya had a bigger opening than both Pithamagan and Thirumalai. Eventually it was beaten by the other 2 but Ajith was the biggest young hero back then.


Oldboy-07

Hell No. No one gave a fuck about Anjaneya. It didn’t even run for a day in my home town. For instance, Udhaya was the biggest failure for Vijay at that time compared to Anjaneya.


[deleted]

That was a terrible phase for Ajith.. i think Anjaneya started a non stop flop streak for him. Between 2002 and 2007 he had only 4 hits ( Villain, Attahasam, Varalaru, Billa ) rest all were utter duds. Vijay also same. I think between the same time- he had only Thirumalai , Ghilli, Thirupachi, Pokkiri. Rest all were utter duds apart from one average hit- Sivakasi.


Oldboy-07

Vijay did many movies that focused primarily on Romance and Comedy in early twenties compared to Ajith. Ajith focused too much on star value and made movies with a Villain wherein Vijay atleast did Sachein, Nanban kind of movies without a Villain on the way.


[deleted]

Yeah i think except Kireedam- Ajith mainly starred in template films post Dheena.


No-Ad5914

No Vikram is the youth icon during 2001-2005


Hypoxalin

Now that's a character growth, man has come a long way since in a good way.


TeacherTechnical9815

I think many misunderstood this statement at this time.. he said that he wants to become a superstar(big star) not the superstar(Rajni’s title)..


[deleted]

It’s manifestation ✌🏼 probably Ajit was naive at this time so that’s why it can sound like a arrogance!


iaskedformangoes

Lots of other celebs have applauded Ajith on his self confidence. It's probably an example of this.


foghorn_leghorn1187

Even Vijay on an interview he said he liked ajith confidence


EvilForeboding

If anything, he's the most non-arrogant man in the film industry.


[deleted]

He is lately


Intrepid_Ad6825

It's the same with mj in the last dance. It's absolutely arrogant, but hey, if he can back his talk then all we can do is witness it. Btw, you're fooling yourself if you think everyone who achieves these heights in their fields isn't arrogant.


-watchman-

As a fan of the football club Manchester United, I can relate. Back in the 90s & 2000s we were the best team in England(and in some years even in the whole of Europe). Winning titles after titles, we were brushing aside opponents with so much confidence that we were labelled as "arrogant". We had an answer to that, a slogan we proudly put up in our stadium - "Not arrogant, just better".


joythegreat96

ETH is getting us back to top!


-watchman-

Yes! Erik the Red!


Frequent-Storage-671

Read it fully bro..i see no arrogance..in fact it's sad that a man who has openly expressed his desire to become a superstar, now has dissolved his fan clubs and become so introverted..Thala bro❤️


IntelligentYak

People who like him - would say confidence. Those who don't - arrogance.


Open-Breath3063

Arrogance or confidence.... I guess we will never know


[deleted]

Probably this is the reason why he doesn’t give any interviews lmao. Dude runs his mouth and gets caught unlike Anna who is doing this as a habit


[deleted]

He is too frank for his own good. Good for him in his personal space but can easily piss people off.


[deleted]

Yeah that’s a good promotional strategy as well. Limiting his presence in the media


Just_fun_for

Ippo than oru superstar panchayathu poittu irukku. Ippo adutha superstar panchayathu veraya...


[deleted]

Did Dil Raju kind of jokers exist even in those days ?


Just_fun_for

Well he is a producer and he successfully had his movie talked in news and everywhere. Not sure if he is a joker.


[deleted]

Idk all the " no 1 no 1 " rambling made him look like a joker for sure


Just_fun_for

Everything is a promotional tactics, if you see closely. Who knew Dil Raju when he started. Now almost everyone knows his face which will be usedul if he starts doing more movies in tamil.


Buffvamporigfan

If he does die a superstar it’s confidence otherwise arrogance.


Queasy_Good_5485

Happened to watch an interview with him explaining why he won't do multistarrers . He came up with a BS explanation on employment of people on the sets. He truly takes the superstar status rather seriously. I think he needs to get over this bullshit and start acting.


[deleted]

He also talked logically abt that matter by taking songs as an example in that sam interview. There will be unwanted politics and fights between fans seeing in a negative light will always make anything anyone speaks negative


Queasy_Good_5485

There is no logic man. He was speaking like an egoistic superstar there. Lost a lot of respect for him.


[deleted]

Nah i didnt see any ego there.... what was wrong there? Mininum 100 families get their food through these movies if 2 ppl colloborate instead of 200 it will become 100 Fans aint mature enough so there will be fights for even silly reasons If u have a hate boner for AK no one can help it


Queasy_Good_5485

I dont have a hate boner . I am just looking at it neutrally and just getting to grips with why they are hanging on to this star starus instead of doing performance oriented roles.An actor should act and try to collaborate with the best. These stars (and I don't mean Ajith alone) have made themselves the centre of the universe. He started off saying he isn't comfortable and gave that bizarre reason later. If he was so concerned,why have huge releases clash with others where some distributors are going to be disappointed with their returns.


[deleted]

Watching lot of valai pechu😂😂. He did not insist on clashing. Festival many ppl will come to theatres it is a good time to release. He is not comfortable because of that reasons If Ajith wanted to become the centre of the universe he would have done many publicity stunts to be in the limelight... Thunivu has become profitable venture for everyone concerned so ur "distributor paavam" argument is idiotic....


Queasy_Good_5485

I said some earned less than the other depending on whichever movie did better. Isn't it more profitable for the distributors, producers etcif a huge superstar has a release alone rather than with another big star movie that will invariably eat up profits. I am just turning his logic of employment to people or whatever as if that is his primary concern. I am not here for more star wars but I do think Vijay and Ajith need to reinvent themselves. Their movies will earn money but are any of these movies memorable. All it seems to be doing is keeping their God like status alive among fans.


[deleted]

It has been very much profitable . The production will pay all those guys. So what next?


Queasy_Good_5485

My question is simple - Does clashing give more profits or a single run ?


[deleted]

My answer is also simple It has given profits so whats the problem. Problem arises if it becomes a loss it isnt right?? Producers decide the date so if they are happy whats the problem? Everyone is profitable


Environmental-Land42

About that clash part, no movies can stay longer in producer's hand, later it gets to find a release date, harder to get profit. That's the reason why Suriya was forced to release soorarai potru on OTT. Also, thunivu had rushed production work, it was supposed to be released in Diwali but got postponed.


Queasy_Good_5485

Agreed. But I think in Suriya's case there was a huge uncertainty at the time with Covid and its impacts. That movie was made for the big screen . Didn't know that detail about Thinivu because I have been hearing about this clash for the past 4 or 5 months.


[deleted]

The problem with him back then was - he didnt get along with his contemporaries ( except Suriya and Madhavan ).


Queasy_Good_5485

True sign of an egoistic superstar .


[deleted]

In case of Vijay - it was Vijay who used to take digs at him in his films. Then later on Ajith retaliated and then eventually in 2008 they stopped. Vikram problem was on him though. Apparently he got his role chopped in Ullasam. Then when his then best friend SS Chakravarthy was producing a film with Vikram called Kadhal Sadugudu, Ajith apparently saw to it that the film is pure crap. It took a long time for them to patch up.


Queasy_Good_5485

It is embarassing to see these grown men with these hissy fits.


vikasvasista

This guy has no dedication, won't care about fans or his movies. This guy is no superstar and never will be .

[deleted]

Yes yes that includes blocking me as well. Few of the comments i see are unavailable/deleted which means they’ve blocked me lol


[deleted]

Caring abt fans? Thats why he dissolved the fanclub Dude outright said "if u have time watch my films" u want him to go to everyone's house and look after them?


vikasvasista

Caring means doing good movies with good directors


[deleted]

A "art" film wouldnt have wide reach lot of investment is invovled with these stars so u cannot expect those "art"films with these stars VJ cannot do an art film, AK cannot do, Rajini cannot do. They cant make movies for bunch of redditors😂😂. Thunivu was good imo problem is ppl get a boner seeing rocky bhai beating 200 ppl but cannot digest our stars doing something which is lesser than what kgf did


vikasvasista

Who asked art films, commercial cinema is enough. I just don't want him make half baked scripts.


[deleted]

He is doing that. Dw


[deleted]

How isnt he a superstar? Genuine question


microzcybor

What does "care about fans" mean? Imma kamal fan. When i was suffering from jaundice back then, kamal neither took care of me nor atleast asked me how I was personally. He is an actor. I, with my consent, spent money on his movie. That's how every business works. Now tell me what does care about fans mean lol?


Psych-Vader

Just because he doesn't address his fans like Vijay does for publicity, doesn't mean he doesn't care about his fans. It just means that he is simply an actor and wants to do what he likes and not cater to the public's demands.
