During an interview, while promoting his latest film Vendhu Thinidhathu Kaadu, Silambarasan TR said that he and its director Gautham Menon tried to break the mold of the film they made to impress the audience.
It is his third film with the same director and will be released in theaters on September 15. Just a year ago, Simbu gave a big movie Maanaadu. And in his third film, the actor-director combination did not opt for another love story as they wanted to give something else to the audience. Moreover, Simbu is no longer interested in playing a romantic hero.
Some details about Gautham Menon and Simbu
Earlier, this actor-director combination has given super hits like Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada and Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, both of which are popular for their romantic story.
They also wanted to do a love story this time but the success of Maanaadu made them think otherwise.
He pushed himself to do different and challenging roles and the audience accepted him like that in Maanaadu. So, they thought of making VTK.
What did Simbu say about the boycott trend?
Simbu said the audience has every right and power to boycott a film if they don’t like it. But, they accept a film if its content is good and touches the heart of the masses. In this context, he referred to Thiruchitrambalam, which became a huge hit due to its excellent content.
What is the story of his latest release VTK or Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu?
VTK is a gangster story and audience can expect a lot of reality from it. The story revolves around a young person from a village in Tamil Nadu, his journey to Mumbai and the gangster over time.
What are the specialties of VTK?
According to Simbu, VTK does not have any slow or high pitched moments. Some moments will sweep the audience off their feet, but those moments will come naturally and eventually. And as director Gautham Menon wanted a realistic story, they kept everything minimal and did not show Simbu in a heroic image.
