The passing of such an esteemed person in the field of films has sent ripples through the film industry, and several actors and technicians have paid their tributes to this amazing journeyman.
RB Choudary’s dream 100th film with Vijay
RB Choudary had a special bond with actor Vijay and wanted him to act in his 100th film. He had earlier said in an interview with Puthiya Thalaimurai, “Vijay told me he will act in my 100th film. But now he has moved towards politics, so that dream may not happen. I feel sad about it.” He was the man who introduced Vijay through ‘Poove Unakkaga’ and later gave him major hits like ‘Love Today,’ ‘Thulladha Manamum Thullum,’ ‘Thirupaachi,’ and ‘Jilla.’ These films played a key role in Vijay’s rise to stardom. His passing has now left this dream incomplete.
