Of late, VijayÂs ÂThuppaki is garnering much attention, courtesy the poster image where he carries Kajal Agarwal. It reminds one a similar poster of Richar GereÂs English film. Now this has put a question in fans mind whether ÂThuppaki is based on that Hollywood film.
Clarifying on this, director AR Murugadoss said that it is not actually the case. Justifying about it in an interview, he said that ÂThuppaki doesnÂt have an army backdrop like GereÂs film; instead it is set in Mumbai. Besides that particular scene, everything in ÂThuppaki is original, confirms Murugadoss.
Talking about VijayÂs role in the film, Murugadoss further went saying that the actor features as a character who will be loved by all. He is quite spirited and energetic.
According to the filmmaker, itÂs been quite long to see such an energetic and handsome hero in our Tamil cinema. So unlike normal heroes, Murugados added, here in ÂThuppaki Vijay is playing it very differently, by acting very bubbly, enthusiastic and excited. ÂUsually female leads in my films will play such energetic characters, but in this movie, Vijay has taken upon himself to play a lively and hyper character. I feel that this will be VijayÂs best role so far in his career, remarked the director.
