As `Beast' release date ( April 13 ) draws near, Star Vijay is readying for a live telecast of Bigg Boss Ultimate on April 10th and simaltenously have it run on Disney Hotstar to take on Sun TV that is telecasting Vijay interview on same date. Bigg Boss Ultimate Finale will strea on Disney from 6.30 PM in Disney and a few minutes gap the event will telecast on Star Vijay at the same time. STR a confirmed Thala fan has had direct clashes with Vijay at the box office. In 2004 Diwali- Kathal Ayivithuley of STR- Charmi v/s Vijay Bhagwati. Both ran for 100 days but latter was termed a hit. Next was Pongal 2006- Vijay's Aaadh v/s STR's Saravana. STR won.Incidentally both were Telugu remakes. Last direct clash was in November 2012 when Vijay's Thupakki and STR's Poda Podi released. Poda Podi was Vignesh Shivan's ( Nayan's BF) first directorail and Varalaxmi Saratkumar's first heroine film. Thupakki was a block buster. Later during the release of Vaalu, Vijay publicly supported STR in a dispute with te producer. After that STR called Vijay his Anna and TR attended Vijay's film audio launch. Coincidentally, both actors were launched by their father - director and in 1984, both the actors made their debut as child actors. STR was then 6 yrs old. As Vijay is coming with the interview on Sun TV and a first publicised after 10 years for a channel, it will have a captive audience. So far Vijay's film's audio release function would be coming on TV. Promos show Vijay answeing some questions not related to Beast like Why did you come on a cycle to vote when you have four cars at home ? . Why did you stop meeting press in the past few years ? As far as I know the reason being that the press meet that Vijay convened last was to celeberate Velayudtham ( Telugu remake) sucess meet. He gave a one gm coin to all press members who turned up. I was not present and instead my reporter was present. Next day, a group that were down riding Vijay's films on twitter by putting box office figures to show it was a flop got annoyed. Reason being that one of the invitees was a self styled industry tracker who put out figures according to the money he got from the producer. He took money and put out figures to show that Vijay film was a record breaker.Here again, he had a package deal by which he got publicity for the hero in a website that was fairly popular then. Result was that tweets came out that box office figures that came out were bought by Vijay for one gm gold coin and even a photo of the coin was posted. Since then Vijay shut doors to the press ( public meetings, I mean).
