It is worthwhile to have a discussion amongst fans since at the end of the day it is the fans who make a film successful or otherwise. I for one look for the performance of the star in how well he plays the role. Find it quite jarring and obnoxious when I see Tamil male stars having to promote themselves in all these "not so subtle ways" instead of playing the offered role to the best of his ability. Also it is something that is very hard to explain to movie fans of other languages.

I for one strongly feel that this culture is not helping Tamil cinema move forward. Effectively movies are made to project the "glory" of the chosen hero as opposed to getting the best out of him to support a chosen story.

While the technical aspects of Tamil movies have improved considerably this culture which to me driven primarily by the insecurities of some of our male stars is holding the industry back.

The narration of a story in the best possible way should be the prime focus of the Director. To be side tracked in keeping the ego of the male star and having to mend / fend the movie accordingly only takes away from the success of the movie.

Are there other fans out there who find this culture quite abhorrent ?
