Plum,
About the 80s, mandrams etc engaludaya gurumaargal would be the best to answer but in any case (I'm Moondram Pirai generation, still a very young), he had a huge fan-following back then in TN (arguably the biggest). I don't think one can attribute the choice of his movies to fan club pressure as such (Kurudhippunal/Drohi appo direct pressure nu sonnaanga). He has always made sure that his fans/followers know their place - he is distinct when it comes to this.
Nagaraj nu Iyakka front man irundhaaru, considered to be a very able guy. Romba straight forward kooda pola irukku. Oru thadava Thalaivar office la poi edho konjam direct a "suggest" pannirukkaaru (exact a enna sonnaaru nu marandhutten, enna suggestion/grievance nu), Thalaivar wouldn't take that kind of stuff and konjam unpleasant a poiruchu and Nagaraj quit. (Appo dhaan Gunaseelan enum saniyan entry).
Innoru instance la Madhiya Sennai la romba strong kuruppu irundhuchu, and due to an issue, Gunaseelan a adikka poittaanga. Thalaivar stopped them, asking them to maintain the status quo in spite of them voicing their concerns about Guna. Andha group la main guys joined Vikram's group! (ippovum namma fans, but still...)
I mean the reason i'm mentioning these is because Thalaivan podhuva evan solradhayum kekka maattaan. Yes, he compromises but thats unavoidable, isn't it?
I get reminded of (a) Mahanadhi the way he handles/treats his oor kaarargal when they come to his defence against Haneefa (b)Thevar Magan, where he protects the wanted family. Adhavadhu, he is practical enough to understand that he needs elements of mass (to an extent, the masala segment must have been conscious right?), fans etc but hegenerally knows to clearly draw the line. "Evanayum 'madhikka' maattaaru" (not in a derogatory sense) and strange and frustrating as it may seem at times, its something

One can say that he was always against or reluctant about doing "mass"films but then how would you explain the passion behind 'Vikram' or 10A?
Thats a spectacular example of getting the best of both worlds.
