vtr in and as 'veerasamy'

The only person in Gollywood who provides me with more
unintentional, rib-tickling comedy entertainment than the
beloved Gabtun is T.Rajendar, now known by the numerologically
superior moniker Vijaya T.Rajendar (VTR). I was very happy
in the early 90s when the Tamil audience finally got tired of
his movies with their endless alliterative dialogues, thangachi
sentiments, outlandish sets and nine-alphabet titles
(o-ru-tha-yi-n-sa-ba-tha-m).

A prime example of his thangachi sentiment dialog can be
seen here

Once his movies started tanking, he did what any self-respecting
Tamil film persona does - jump into politics full-time. Thanks to
the ever-changing coalition configurations of TN politics and the
need for colorful characters during the campaign season, he was
totally busy and let Tamil movie fans sleep in peace.

He threatened to come back into mainstream consciousness with
the movie that launched Mumtaj (Mo-ni-sha-e-n-mo-na-li-sa).
Since it was supposed to be a youthful love story, he didn't don
the hero's role. I know that ~ET~ has watched the movie
umpteen times. Maybe he will be better suited to review it for us.

There was a lull after that so-bad-that-it-is-good movie. Before
the collective sigh of relief could be let out, he launched his son
in an eternal love story. When Simbu started tasting some
success, I thought that VTR will entrust his legacy(?!) to his
spawn and concentrate full-time to atleast getting the deposit
back for his party's candidates in future elections.

Alas, my hopes have been dashed by the news reports that
his movie 'Veerasamy' is ready for release after being
announced a few years back. The movie is expected to hit
the theatres anyday now. Be ready to suspend logic, vision
and hearing if you are forced by fate to watch it. Supposedly,
he has tried to introduce a new angle to the genre of different
love story movies, by not touching the heroine throughout
the entire movie. So in all stills, he stands atleast feet
away from the heroine, Mumtaj. I guess this will become
a popular strategy for heroines acting in future Gabtun
movies.
