Thalapathy Vijay's Speech | Leo Success Meet - Best Moments | Lokesh Kanagaraj | Sun TV

The handsome Tamil gem! The grounded star who prioritizes education! Forever Shoba's beloved child! Your selfie atop van made waves in the sky. To hear your short story, many ears are on the edge. The stage is yours, Thalapathy! Our beloved 'Thalapathy', residing in the hearts of millions! Sir, please don't get angry. Before you begin your speech you had promised to give something in your last stage. If you give that, it'll make us happy. What? You mentioned on the 'Varisu' movie stage that it's

the way you'll affectionately kiss your fans. Sir, give one for us too! Love you, sir! 'I am...' 'I am ready, shall I make an entry?' 'Your favorite bro, want me in on the action?' 'Don't mess with this lion With the sting of a scorpion' 'No matter who gets in my way, ain't gonna change a thing, forever' 'I am ready, shall I make an entry?' 'Your favorite bro, shall I come solo?' 'Until the Earth quakes, drum it up and I'll dance to your rhythm' 'I'll spark the torch with a flick, between my fi

ngers, real quick' 'Tow Tow Tow Tow Toto Toto Tow' 'Tow Tow Tow Tow Toto Toto Tow' 'Pick the finest goat, for the slaughter, end my hunger' 'Tow Toto Tow Toto Tow' 'Tow Tow Tow Toto Tow Toto Tow' 'Tow Toto Tow Todo Tow Tow Tow Tow' 'Tow Toto Tow Todo Tow Tow Tow Tow' My heart's beloved residents my dear brothers and sisters greetings to you all! All these days I thought I held you all in my heart. But now I understand it's not me it's you all who have housed me in your hearts. Within the sanctua

ry of these loving hearts each granting me a humble space is the temple where I reside. Don't think I'm mouthing cinema dialogues right at the start! But trust me, these words are straight from my heart. With no expectations, the love you show me what will I do in return, dear folks? What could I ever do in return, dear folks? My body skin.. Even if I were to use my own body skin as slippers for your feet falls short for your love! But one thing.. I can promise one thing until my last breath. St

aying true to you. I'll be faithful for every bit of hard-earned money you spend on me! You guys are bloody sweet, man! You guys are bloody sweet! And, dear folks.. Observing on social media lately your anger is on the higher side, why? No, friends, let's not do that. Let's not hurt anyone. It's not our thing. We've got plenty of other things to do. If a child is hit by his dad at home, where else would the child seek comfort? Take it like that and leave it! Don't want that, folks. Having so muc

h anger isn't good for health. A quote said by Gandhiji goes 'Non-violence if more powerful than violence.' Non-violence stands stronger and wields more power than violence. So be cool and calm! Alright, dear folks? I'll share a short story as usual before I go. Two people go hunting into a forest. In that forest, there's deer-rabbit.. elephant-rabbit crow-eagle.. I was just referring to a forest.. These creatures are part of the forest, right? That's what I meant! So two people go to the forest

for hunting. One guy goes hunting with a bow and arrow. The other goes for a spear. The guy with a bow and arrow manages to hunt down a rabbit. The one with a spear, takes aim at an elephant - yes, an elephant! Takes aim, but sadly, misses the big one! They return to the village. One with a rabbit in hand, the other just his spear. Who stands out as the achiever and prouder of the two? The achiever in this tale is the one who targeted the elephant and missed it. The reason I'm saying this is..

Victory isn't about winning what's easy for us, dear folks! Winning what seems impossible.. That's what.. That's what.. Make sure you really see this! Real victory comes from the effort you put to win! Set your aim and goal high! Dream big! Think big! No one can tell you that's wrong! In the wise words of Bharathi, 'Ask for bigger than the big'. That's how your dreams should be! Your wishes should be just as grand! Your efforts be just as large! Travel like that, and you'll surely reach your des

tination. Everyone holds a special place which no one else can fill. What's wrong with having wishes and desires? There's this little boy who would eagerly wear his father's shirt puts on his father's watch hop and sit on his father's chair. The shirt is too baggy, hanging loosely on him. The watch is too big for his small hand. He doesn't care if he has the right to sit in the chair or if he deserves it! Just because it's his father's! Just because it's his father's! What's wrong with wanting t

o be like his dad? So dream big, my friend! No one can say a word against that! They say, 'Small aim is a crime' So always have a great aim! Mr. Kalam's words! Okay, my dear folks! Before moving to the 'Leo' team A few things.. A song was released. And a few lines became an issue. See, for example.. In the lyric, 'I will light up in a flick between my fingers'. It doesn't have to be a cigarette, it could be a pen, yeah? A pen scripting judegments amid the fingers! What's that another line? 'I'll

drink ten bottles..' - Yes! 'I'll drink ten bottles, bring it in a big container!' Why link it to alcohol? It could be porridge, yeah? What I mean is.. I can give you such a lame reason and get away with it. But I don't want to do that. Please, I ask you. Look at cinema as cinema only! Look at cinema as cinema only! So if you see.. all around the world cinema is seen as a form of entertainment that people enjoy, right? The dialogues and scenes in it are purely imaginary. And also you all know i

t's entirely unreal! In certain movies, you have the good guy and the bad guy. To make it clear who's who designing scenes and dialogues to match their characters is a common approach in screenplay writing. Some characters depicting wrong thoughts or actions.. Not like I should talk sense and advice into you! I know for sure that you won't follow it. Are you all so immature or what? Like I said earlier take the good and ignore the rest. This applies not just to movies but also to everyday life t

here's plenty of evil things around us. So, always choose only the good. Just because there are a number of wine shops en route to school doesn't mean students indulge in a drink or two before classes? They pass through that, head to school, don't they? They're no-nonsense! Knowing exactly what to pick and what to ditch. Despite the heaps of love they show me even if my movie falls short, they're like, 'to heck with it!' Clear minds, they are! They are one of a kind! They are next-level! In such

a stage I want to express my gratitude to you all. Because a few among you.. Sorry, many actually! Without me telling you, in your own areas without hesitation in time and effort doing whatever you could.. Beyond just saying you did good things you are doing many heart-fulfilling things. For both the general public and those in need! It's not limited to Chennai , Tamil Nadu. I see it in Kerala too. I see it Kerala, Malaysia, Singapore and in Canada, even! Mumbai, Andhra, Bangalore.. I've been w

atching everything regularly. On a similar note, I'd like to share something I heard. AVM Productions, which you all are familiar with. And producer, AVM Saravanan, a familiar face. Once, when he was going in his car on Vadapalani main road.. This goes way back! He was going in his car he handed Rs. 100 to a needy woman at a signal. The woman responded, 'Thanks a lot'. Conveying her well wishes, she said 'May you live well and be happy, MGR'. Mr. Saravanan couldn't make any sense of it. Back the

n, it was like whoever gave, people believed it was MGR. That's the kind of impact that name had! I don't mean to compare, don't take me wrong. I'm not such a big person. I'm just saying. Taking inspiration from good and nothing wrong in following it, yeah? With that in mind I have this small wish! I have this small wish and it's just.. In the future in every place where good is done I want it to be our boys doing it! I want to earn that name and I want us to do it together. All that aside, let'

s talk about the 'Leo' team. No big deal if a girl becomes a heroine at 20. The real deal is keeping that heroine status intact for 20 years. That too with the same energy and charm. I'm sure you know who I mean, right? While everyone waves like this she does it differently - like this. I'm sure you've noticed. Yes, I mean our princess Kundavai! Congrats, Trisha. To talk about him.. People who've really made it big in life overcame challenges to make it happen! But man, the hurdles he had to fac

e? Just getting past all that is an achievement in itself. To reclaim his lost spot and become a successful hero again. And piled up awards. To serve as a source of inspiration for others his life story became the movie 'Sanju'. Having Sanjay Dutt join us is a pride for 'Leo', sir! And same with Action King Mr. Arjun. Mr. Arjun's fighting style way back during 'Gentleman', 'Sevagan' and 'Prathap' and even in face-offs with actors like myself sir is always 'Action King'. Sir.. I had a big questio

n about whether he'd take on the role! But I'm really happy that you did, sir. His memories from 'Jai Hind' movie and the funny moments and humorous exchanges with Mr. Goundamani he'd share with us on the shooting spot. The best time pass! Sir, we've got that dinner pending you, me, Lokesh, and Mr. Goundamani, don't forget it. Same way.. Viewers often pick movies based on the hero, heroine songs, fights, and comedy, whatever they enjoy the most. But there is big crowd that picks movies based on

directors. And Mysskin and Gautham Vasudev Menon are big names on that list! I've known Mysskin since 'Youth'! I mean the movie 'Youth', don't get me wrong. Same way, Mr. Gautham.. If a movie has beautiful fights and action-packed love you can bet it's his movie! Because everyone does it opposite way. Fights are action-packed and love is pleasant. But when he directs love, it's all action-packed! But the fights he directs are pure beauty! It's just something that I've noticed in your movies. You

're rocking it! Best wishes for your acting journey, sir! Be it your voice or your eyes! Superb, sir! Same way, I must mention the production team. Even in sub-zero temperatures to make sure our work wasn't impacted taking care of our needs, from food to medicines. They looked after us like a mother. My special special thanks to them. And, yes! With 'Maanagaram', he made us sit up and take notice. 'Kaithi' had us watching repeatedly. With 'Master' and 'Vikram', he made all of India take notice.

Now, with 'Leo'.. Only Hollywood is yet to take notice, if I'm right? Has Hollywood taken notice? It's just a matter of time! I'm so happy for you, Man! I'm so so happy for you! Keep rocking! That doesn't suit you at all, Lokesh. I've told you this once before. It just doesn't suit you. Thank you, thank you. So, same way.. Producer Lalit. Beyond cinema, he is a good friend of mine. A big example of how much he loves cinema was during the 'Master' movie release time. The entire team will never fo

rget that period in life. Including me, because we all went through a lot. We faced a different kind of problem at that time. And we were all clueless about how to deal with it. When there's an issue we look back at past examples for ideas on how to sort it out. But this one wasn't like that. At that time, just because I asked him without worrying about the potential profit for the sake of the theater folks he waited almost for a year and released that movie in theaters. If someone else were in

his shoes a big question mark whether they'd would've done that! That is why I say for his decision-making and guts.. Hats off to you, Lalit! And my co-producer and my friend Jagadish. Moved from Coimbatore with one big dream! To make it big in cinema! Started off as a celebrity coordinator in college and then executive producers for some Tamil movies. And now, now! Running the biggest celebrity management company in South India. And after that he started producing movies also, but that's anothe

r story! Usually, it takes 20-30 years to attain all this. But this man, in such a short span.. Planning from his seat, he's truly marvelous! I really don't know how. I'm so jealous of you, man! Please pan the camera to wherever he is. He won't come to the stage and all. He won't come to the stage. Okay, there he is! So, yeah, and Ani. Ani couldn't make it today. Day by day, he's putting on more weight. And he's adding more weight without any control. Not about his body, but musically, that's wh

at I'm saying. Seeing him shoulder a whole movie with his music and elevating it to the next level I am really happy for you, Ani. Keep rocking! And my masters, Dinesh master and Anbariv masters. Uh.. Subramani. Thanks to everyone.. Yeah.. One last thing I want to tell you all. Something I've really wanted to talk about on this stage! Because I've addressed this multiple times before. But I want to make it clear once again. Among the star heroes bestowed upon us by Tamil cinema 'Puratchi Thalaiv

ar' is one and only! 'Nadigar Thilagam' is one and only! 'Puratchi Kalaignar Captain' is one and only! 'UlagaNayagan' is one and only! 'Superstar' is one and only! Same way, 'Thala' is one and only! I hope.. I hope you all know the meaning of 'Thalapathy'. Their position is subordinate to the king. King orders, and the commander executes. I see you people as the kings and myself as the commander under you all. I'll stay that! Give the order, and I'll execute it! Thanks and greetings x3! Just a m

inute, sir.. First of all, a big round of applause for this speech. Let's hear a big round of applause! Your speech gave us the same goosebumps as your movie does! Sir, we have a few simple questions to ask you, okay? Your brothers are going places and achieving so much. Specially Atlee, Lokesh, Nelson.. Seeing their success, how much joy does it bring you? And they bring up your name wherever they go. And they're rocking success in different ways. A few words about that. Absolutely, I'm really

happy! All three of them are really talented ones. Each of them has their own storytelling style. Not like I was their biggest supporter! It's all their hard work. They elevated Tamil cinema to a whole new level. As a brother, I am really happy. So all the best, Atlee, Lokesh, and Nelson. My boys! I'm sure you're happy, Nelson and Atlee wherever you are. Lokesh is here, so I left out your name. Sir, next, a question about the person sitting here. He's taken part in nearly 20 interviews, and ever

y one of them was superb. His words about the movie and you were just beautiful. In one place, he mentioned he'd do only 10 movies. We're all hoping he'll do plenty of movies. Suppose he quits direction after doing 10 films and then comes to you and joins your party what role or department would you see him handling? Sir, first of all, are you alright with him doing only 10 films? No, he's just kidding about quitting films. Just asking, for example! We want him to do lots of movies. Answer for m

y sake, I've got some questions for you.. Imagining it for kicks, yeah? - Yes. Purely for imagination's sake, which department for him? You mean like a posting? In narcotics prevention and control he could take on a ministerial role! What say, Lokesh? He's spot-on for that department. Perfect match! Okay! Purely for imagination's sake! You said being Mr. Vijay is tough to look at from the outside, but it's easy for you. Dealing with success or failure, you do it on a massive scale! Which of the

two has a greater impact on your thinking? Do you think more about success or failure? Failure, if I'm right. Or maybe success? Failure gets you thinking about succeeding next. But with success, expectations get high and the target gets bigger. So when you have to top that and keep it up it takes a lot more thinking. So maybe success! Okay! The direction we take will align with what we think, right? Yes. Right. You seem to have an answer for every question! So our idea is to give you a word or t

erm we want you to say or ask anything about it! I struggle with such stuff. Please, bro. Please, bro, for our sake. Let's ask him a question using that word. You have addressed many things in your movies. First, I want to ask about education, which you take the most concern in. 'Education.' Something that everyone should equally get without any inequality. Super! Equality the priority in that, superb, bro! 'Pugazh'(Fame). What's Mr. Arjun's name in the movie 'Mudhalvan'? Pugazh! - Pugazhendhi!

We'll give that to him. Okay, next. Third word is 'People'. If they like, they'll back, if they don't like, they'll snap. MGR. A leader who's never seen defeat. '2026'. The year that comes after 2025. I want a more serious answer from you. In 2026, the Football World Cup is happening. Sir.. - It's happening in 2026. You can check it if you want, bro! Sir.. It's happening in 2026, bro! A more serious answer, sir. I mean for Tamil Nadu, not for the whole world. A more serious answer? - Yes. 2026?

Yes, sir. 'Winning the cup is important, Bigil!' If there's a cup, it's destined for the winner! And may your name be written on that, sir! Am I right? Did you get his point? Sir, now I get where the Football World Cup is happening! Got it, right? The cup is ours, sir. I mean the football world cup. Okay? Okay? - Okay, sir. Okay? Next-level happy, sir, seriously! Thank you, thank you everyone.
