Sudha Kongara on Thalapathy Vijay
In an interview with India Today, Sudha Kongara spoke warmly about Thalapathy Vijay and her long-standing respect for him. She said, “I love Vijay, probably I am his biggest fan and there is no two ways about it. Because I have met him and told him the same. We were at one point supposed to do a film together. That did not pan out due to various reasons.”
Parasakthi director on Jana Nayagan delay
Kongara’s latest directorial Parasakthi was initially scheduled to release alongside Jana Nayagan. However, Vijay’s film faced unexpected delays days before its planned release, reportedly due to issues with the Censor Board. Sudha expressed, “Now all this that is happening, his film was supposed to come with us. At the audio launch, the first thing I said that my film I will watch 200 times, but FDFS I will go watch Vijay’s film. I wanted the film to release so badly. What happened to Jana Nayagan, where just two days before release, the Censor holds you back. It should not happen to any film. It was never our intention to compete with his film! How do you compete with the biggest star in the country? You cannot!”
