The same trend was followed till the present day younger generation of actors. Yes, Surya who wasn’t so good in his career rose to the peaks of glory with his Kaakha Kaakha. Trying to tread across the same style, Vishal hopped on with ‘Satyam’. But the results were distressing for Vishal as the film didn’t even run in theatres successfully 10 days.

But now, with viewers turning out to be more intellectual, almost the entire stardom has decided not to land on cop stories for a while…

May be after these years, if my script and characterizations designed by me suits any of these actors, I many think about roping them in” said Mysskin. Also added that working with Ilayaraja for his film ‘Nandhalala’ was a real big experience for he is so dedicated for his music and his passion for it is still insatiable for achieving success in this film over these years…
