Thalapathy fans slam Jailer on social media - Remembering Sidiqque

Jailer reviews on the net and in social media has sparked a war between Thalapathy Vijay and Thalaivar fans. Negative reviews are termed by Rajini fans as one put out by Vijay fans and some reposted these negative reviews and circling the DP showing Vijay photos to establish that it is Vijay fans taking it out for Rajini speech at audio release. Reviewers had a tough time as Tamil Nadu theatres were allowed to show Jailer from 9 AM only and in neighbouring States the shows were from 6 AM. Many Youtubers went to Bangalore to catch the early show and posted it from there. Similarly twitter reviews came before the core Tamil fans could see. From 9 AM onwards , many celebs posted on twitter that they were in theatre waiting to see Jailer, Most popular post was by Rohini Theatre in Chennai Koyambedu which posted picture of Dhanush going inside to see the film Vetri Theatre saw Director Nelson, Ramyakrishnan and Anirudh . Majority of online reviews have given it a okay one time watch and says that it is not a disappointment In Keralam Mohanlal cameo has thrilled the audience and his fans. Similarly the Karnataka viewers too are excited about Shivaanna. Popular YouTuber Blue Sattai Maran says that he could not understand a word of the film and says that it a film directed by intellectual and made for them and not for common man.. Media reports said that Rajinikanth has left Chennai to go on a Himalaya pilgrimage that he had not done for two years due to his bad health. Going by what appeared on social media , the response is positive and upbeat compared to last two films and also a relief for Nelson who thrashed for his Viajy film Beast.
Director Sidiqque was all ready to do a sequel to the Tamil film Friends starring Vijay – Suriya and also had a script for Ajith said Ramesh Kanna who worked in the director Tamil outings. Film Historian Santhivila Dinesh in his YouTube channel recalled an incident told to him by Producer Ousephachan. Siddique who remade his Malayalam film Bodyguard in Tamil as Kaavalan with Vijay and Asin made it in Hindi with Salman Khan – Kareena Kapoor . Sidiqque asked Ousephachan to come to Mumbai for the preview show for Salman. Ousepachan was partner of Siddique’s first film Ramoji Rao Speaking and collaborated in many films later. Salman who came to the theatre asked who is the man standing next to him and the director replied that this is the man who produced my first film. Ousephachan said instead that instead of just saying film producer , he showed that he did not forget the past. A few years back Siddique’s regular art director Suchitra Mani had asked me whether I could arrange an story narration with Kamal Haasan for Siddique as the producer was a Mumbai based company and looking for a pan Indian Star. Kamal was then shooting for Vikram. Siddique had a narration session with Kamal and the actor okayed it. However Kamal had by then decided not to work in outside banner and do it in his own banner. Siddique opted to drop off as he wanted to be with the producer from Mumbai. Even before the Bodyguard film was released , Salman recommended Siddique to producers Bajaj Brothers who signed him.
