If Sivaji Ganesan was Nadigar Thilagam, Manorama was Nadigai Thilagam.
When producers and directors were courting Sivaji Ganesan, MGR directed and produced 'Nadodi Mannan' and showed that he can do it alone. He created history and stood his ground against one of the best actors in history, Sivaji Ganesan.
It is impossible to forget a great actor like Sivaji Ganesan.
Of course, I have not just been a Sivaji Ganesan fan but a fanatic.
I'm not a Kamal Haasan or a Sivaji Ganesan, I know I'm Vijay Antony.
I've admired Sivaji Ganesan ever since he staged 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman.'
People knew that I was a disciple of Sivaji Ganesan and wanted to honour his memory. In fact, I did a movie and play adaptation of 'Vietnam Veedu,' and used the song 'Un Kannil Neer Vadinthal' as part of the play.
Comedy now is all about body shaming and delivering vulgar dialogues. There can't be another Manorama.
You will see a different Susi Ganesan in 'Kanthaswamy.'
I want to do more movies like 'Sivaji.'
The MGR Sivaji awards are organised by the PRO stalwarts in the industry whom I actually respect.
When I was watching 'Sivaji,' I had no clue I will be a filmmaker; I had not even started making short films at that time.
Sivaji' was a fantastic movie. It is one movie I am going to take back to my grave and like a greedy actor, I want more such movies in my career.
It is a privilege that women fancy me, but I cannot sustain the chocolate boy image forever. I don't want to end up being known, like the late veteran Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan was, as the king of romance.
Lot of people liked me in 'Manorama Six feet Under,' 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye,' 'Dev D' and 'Shanghai' and the only common thing in all these films is that when we were making them we never thought they would work. The ones that did not work were safe films.
I've no regrets at all. I'm blessed in this life. Even in my next birth, I want to be born as Manorama again. I want this same life, and same people around me. Most of all, I want my mom with me again.
I remember, when I was working in Bengaluru, Rajinikanth's film 'Sivaji' was releasing, and I wanted to watch it the first day, first show. My manager did not want me to take the day off, and I made up excuses stating that there was an issue at home and I had to go.
