EXCLUSIVE: Are Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar quitting films? Exhibitor Daggubati Suresh Babu insights upon future of Tamil cinema
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, film exhibitor Suresh Babu reacted to the future of Tamil cinema and what would change as Vijay and Ajith shift their focus to other careers.
Film exhibitors of India were caught in an exclusive roundtable interview with Pinkvilla where they were talking about the current scenario of cinema and its future.
In the same interview, leading exhibitor, Daggubati Suresh Babu was asked about his insight towards the future of Tamil cinema, especially with Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar’s focus shifting to other careers and limitations of Rajinikanth to do multiple projects.
Reacting to the same, Suresh Babu said, “See whenever a superstar leaves due to some reason, we think a void will be created but the audience knows to create the next superstar. If SP Balasubrahmanyam dies, what will happen to music…if someone died what will happen, nothing will happen.”
“Just like how NT Rama Rao left, somebody came up. So they (Tamil cinema audience) will make some local star a superstar, or some other language star will become a superstar, or a pan Indian film would make someone a superstar. Definitely, it’s sad that if they’re going at the same time but we don’t have to be overly worried about that,” the exhibitor added.
Furthermore, taking reference to the Telugu film industry said, “Telugu has done quite well in that we have kept many heroes alive. We have the top six, then the next six. So many are able to create those 100 crore films and I’m sure it will happen in Chennai too.”
