EXCLUSIVE: Sivakarthikeyan opens up on carrying forward Thalapathy Vijay's legacy; 'No one can touch that'
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Sivakarthikeyan reflects upon his views on the cameo scene in The GOAT and his perception about Thalapathy Vijay's legacy!
Sivakarthikeyan recently participated in an interview with Pinkvilla following the success of his latest film, Amaran. During the conversation, the actor shared his thoughts on carrying forward Thalapathy Vijay's legacy, a topic that many have discussed since his cameo in The Greatest Of All Time.
Highlighting the responsibility he held by being in the film, Sivakarthikeyan said, “His legacy is his own legacy and no one can touch that nor can anyone take it from him. I see that (cameo) as a very sweet scene where a senior star is sharing the screen with a next-generation star. I felt like it was him giving his love towards me, that’s how I perceived it.”
“His journey of 30+ years, he faces his own struggles…his own battles to come up to this level. So, I can’t straight away go ahead, take it, and say from now on I will continue his legacy,” the actor added.
Furthermore, the actor also added how he once made a tweet after Thalapathy Vijay’s Thuppakki release which became famous later. He said, “Back in the day, I tweeted that today whoever has a real gun is not mass but whoever has Thuppakki (means gun in Tamil) tickets…they are the real mass ones. So with the same star, I’m doing a cameo, which is special for me. I don’t see that as passing on a baton but I learn good things from him.”
