Discussion on Healthy Competition in Cinema

The competition was between two people.

The two people you think the competition was between…

Who? Between these two people in the industry—

—

was the competition.

Are you talking about the industry?

Yes. The people you see that way, you're different…

What were you trying to say?

No, I was just thinking, bro.

We can do one thing, bro.

We should apply it live.

But we'll say it last. We'll say it first.

We've all grown up watching the competition between the two from a young age.

Between Thala and Thalapathy.

I'll tell you. When it comes to competition, at that time, when the two of them—

were in cinema,

there was a healthy competition. It motivated both of them.

You gave a film like this.

You had a hundred-day run. I had a hundred-day run, like that.

It became a healthy competition.

Now Thalapathy has taken on a different avatar, away from cinema.

Ajith sir is now focusing on something else.

So, there isn't time for that now.

We don't need to worry about that and keep carrying it on for our entire lives,

saying that, the two of them have now come together.

So, yes, this kind of... this kind of competition

is healthy competition. This kind of competition is what I hope

to see in the future.

Super, super.

Since you said this, I'm curious, so let me ask a question.

Have you ever, one day,

watched an Ajith film first day, first show? Do you remember which film it was?

Aarambam, Aarambam, Aarambam. I've watched it. Yes.

I watched it in the theater. Yes. That was the first time I watched an Ajith sir film

like an FDFF. It was incredible.

Any Thalapathy film like that in the theater?

When I was young.

Every film.

Almost every film.

Back when we were in school, there would be two gangs.

There'd be a Thala gang on this side. There'd be a Thalapathy gang too.

They'd beat each other up, and it would get really intense.

When you were in school, were there two gangs like this too?

That trouble would happen right in front of your eyes.

How would you react to that? "Who doesn't know our guy?"

A guy would come saying that. Then another guy from there would say,

"Who doesn't know our guy?"

Before you knew it, we'd be involved in that trouble too.

This is how it would happen among my friends.

Back and forth.

They'd beat each other up. When should I make my entrance?

Then everyone would go quiet.

Yeah, they'd say they shouldn't come talk in front of us and make him feel awkward,

saying that.

But I've heard a lot of gossip.

It's fun.

It is.

So, when you listen closely, it tickles.

You tell me. It's a competition between just two people.
