Age and image, the problem

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,November 29 2004]

Vijayakanth's Neranja Manasu has bit the dust. But the actor remains undeterred.

He is all hopes on his next film, to be produced by Khaja Mohideen.

The movie would be directed by a debutant Ramadoss, an associate of director Maharajan. The movie would go to floors early next month.

The problem for Vijayakanth is that he is now without any career choices. He can only play either an avenging hero (a police officer or military man) or a heart-full-of-gold righteous village leader. So the challenge for storywriters and script penners is to come up with something new that will suit Vijayakanth's age and image.

But that is the problem.

Meanwhile, Dhanush's Devadhyay Kandein, produced Khaja Mohideen is completed and would be released 10 December and by March next year, the producer would begin his next movie starring Kamal Haasan which would be directed by 'Khaaka Khaaka' fame Goutham. A busy producer in Kollywood indeed is Khaja Mohideen.
