Vijay’s stardom has seen a meteoric rise over the past few years. He has been consistently proving his box-office stamina across various parameters. Whether its is pre-release business or day one openings, 1st-week collections or full run, he has been consistently putting up a solid show.
His hold across the territories right from TN, Kerala, Karnataka, and even overseas has been phenomenal. Even with average content, Vijay’s numbers and growth have been the story worth following.
Vijay has been the only strong competitor to Superstar Rajinikanth in terms of box office pull and now he has even overtaken the him. Even in Telugu states, Vijay films are getting more business offers and collections than Rajinikanth.
This is the reason behind ‘Thalapathy’s’ sudden turn towards the Telugu market. His film with Vamsi Paidipally will be a litmus test and will truly showcase his capabilities in Telugu states as well.
