Oh gosh! Don’t faint. If you had seen the huge cut out of Vikram at the entrance you would have also uttered the same words. According to the trade pundits such a huge cutout has not been made for any actors in Tamil Nadu!
Four guys were putting the huge size garland to the cutout. Whether they have put any garland to the god’s photo at their home so far? Seriously I don’t know but I thought so.
‘Where you guys are from?’
‘We are coming from Tirunalveli.’
‘Uff! So far! So what do you think? What’s the reason you’ve come from there to Chennai?’
‘Of course. Just to see our Vikram Sir!’
‘Why?’
‘He is our breath. He is our life!’, They proudly declared.
‘That means before him they were living without breath? Or they were soulless body?’, I couldn’t understand.
There was no shortage for the fans who were chanting Vikram’s name with the feverish passion! Almost each and everyone.
Let’s meet the few fans of other star's who were also the part of function.
‘Why you are so eager to get inside?’
‘As my thalaivar Mr.X is coming today!’, Anxiety in his eyes.
‘Does he come if Adi Shankaracharya or Ramanujacharya suppose comes? Instead of wasting time on some twenty plus old actor who can’t romance, can’t act, Happy song or sad song all who does some scrap, why don’t they go to work?’. I knew they would throw me stones at me if I asked so or may look at me as I am weird.
‘What’s your name?’
‘Saran.’
‘So. Whom do you like?’
‘Mr.Y.’
‘Why?’
‘Because he is our thalaivar (leader)!’
‘Why is your thalaivar?’
‘He acts superb.’ He was talking in such a way that Mr.Y has got 5 national awards.
Uff! The ‘Thalaivar’ syndrome runs deep and rampant in the state of Tamilnadu. Heroes are elevated to the status of demigod. If in the normal utopian world there is a tangible line that separates the imaginary from the Concrete in Fruitopia Tamilnadu the line is not even then. It simply doesn’t exist. Why cannot these people think practical or be practical?
Better if we directly move inside the hall. And listen to the much a waited the speech of super star. And one more thing that’s the first time I was watching Vikram attending a function. Of course on T.V!! I have seen him performing at Dubai tour, Singapore star night and London tour but in a function that was the first time.
