Celebrations are on at the theatres much before Pongal as Vijay and Ajith
fans gear up for the release of Jilla and Veeram. Nearly after six
years, the films of these two stars are clashing at the box office and,
as a popular Tamil film phrase goes, it's the season for 'Thala
Thalapathy'. And their fans seem to be joining hands in celebration —
while we hear that the Ajith fan clubs across the city are planning a
special mention about Vijay's Jilla in their banners, Ilayathalapathy's fan club members are likely to wish Veeram too in their promotional banners.
Sachin Mani, one of the heads of the Ajith's fan club association in
the city, says, "We don't want to give room for any clash between the
fans at the theatres. So, we are designing some of our Veeram banners
wishing Vijay's Jilla as well. The banners will have pictures
of both Vijay and Ajith, and will wish both the films success. It will
say 'Vijayin Jillavum vetri pera vaazhthugirom'. We are sure that our Thala will like this initiative of ours."
So, what's happening in the Jilla camp? "Some of the banners promoting Jilla will have a tagline wishing Ajith's Veeram as
well," says Vijay Elango, who is part of Ilayathalapathy's fan cub in
the city. Apart from this, the regular celebrations that are part of a
big film release, including giant cutouts, garlands, will take place
this season too.
