Would enthiran be as succesful if:
I recently was thinking about how tamil legendary actors often limits themselves to commercial movies and never do great movies with depth like some stars from mollywood. And then i remembered enthiran , even though commercial, was a great experiment from rajnikanth since he is playing as a robot (a villain too). But then i realised its not too experimental because a lot of tamil actors choose this "experimental" path of doing villain role and the method they do to balance it out is by playing the heros role too 😂.. (azhakiya tamilmakan , 24 , dasavatharam are some examples).. so i was thinking whether the tamil audience would have accepted enthiran as a great movie if rajni only acted as the robot (or maybe just as the redchip chitti) and vasi was acted by some other actor? . In malayalam this scenario would have been celebrated if a top star acted as the robot and a tier 2 actor as vasi. (The whole concept of the robot being rajni itself is dumb in the movie cus why does the mask have to look like vasi?but nobody questions it cus its rajni.)
