I agree with Maddy. Nowadays, it has become a trend in tamil cinema. It more or less boils down to the level of :

Industry people go to the extent of doing anything for their kids to launch them in the industry. It is more or less like a VILLAGE GUY writing Anna University entrance examinations. A city based guy who knows the background behind these things and enrolling for special training and coming up with flying colours.

> A money based reservation similar to seats like "Payment Seats" where one who doesn't even know basic maths can study Engineering / Medical.

> Even if they fail, multiple attempts being given so that the stage will look untouchable for many.

> Industry friends joining hands and doing a nything so that the kids of their gods will enjoy a kind of supremacy over others

The problem here is on the "# of oppoutunities one will get on this". Even if someone have a limited talent, they can be boosted up and can be projected as actors with enough potential.

with such power, even Chief Ministers will come and watch the respective movies. OTOH, even if some layman wandering around the high gates of the industry will be taken for a ride if he gives something better than these industry kids.

Maddy - Agree with you 100%.


Bala,
I think the TATAs are not "Vaarisus". I heard that JRD was not a son of the previous TATA. It is a custom within the TATAs. Please correct me if I am wrong
