2 Starts

Looks like they finally shot some publicity photos for Vijay's Pokkiri. The low-key nature of the film's publicity continues since the stills are pretty simple compared to the first few publicity shots we saw for movies like Ghajini, Bheema, etc. No fancy sets or props or backdrops. Just Vijay in a variety of poses (even Asin appears in only 2 of the photos). But he looks a lot more scrubbed-down and presentable comparable to his appearance in Aadhi. The bird's nest on his head and the tired look on his face from that film have both thankfully disappeared.

Another star son has been launched. This time its P.Vasu's son Prashanth(rechristened as Sakthi) and he's been launched with a lot of fanfare as his movie's launch was attended by the likes of Rajni, Kamal, Satyaraj, Jayaprada, Balakrishna, Prabhu and A.V.M.Saravanan. The film is titled Thottaal Poo Malarum and is being directed by P.Vasu. Sakthi looks better than many of the heroes we've seen recently and resembles Vijay a little bit.

P.Vasu's one lucky guy. He's a pretty bad director whose filmmaking style seems to be stuck in the 80s. But both Chandramukhi and Paramasivan, which had heroes who were making comebacks after career dips, became hits. So Vasu is now considered as a director who turns things around for heroes! Lets see if some of his luck rubs off on his son...
