The late and legendary MGR, the first film actor in the whole world to have ascended the throne of chief-ministership thanks to the cult popularity he had carefully built surrounding his on-screen image, had started a film ‘Kizhakku Aapirikkavil Raju’ which wasn’t completed due to his political career and was later abandoned.
The film was to be the sequel to the legend’s highly successful ‘Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban’ but wasn’t to be. Now, one hears that ‘Captain’ Vijaykanth has taken it upon himself the responsibility of stepping into the shoes of the late legend and complete the film, making subtle changes in the screen-play.
Vijaykanth would start this film after he finishes his first directorial venture ‘Virudhagiri’, the shooting of which is going on at present. Political observers point out that Vijaykanth’s move to make the film early next year, at the time of assembly elections scheduled to be held in the State, might have been timed to garner the votes of fans of the late actor.
Only time will say whether the strategies of the black ‘MGR’ would pay off or not!
