Vijay Antony ’s exclusive interview with Firstpost “I cannot act, I’m a good technician. I just choose good stories and act in my own way. There’s no confusion or discontinuity in my performance because I’m being myself. Not just acting and music composing, I also edit and produce my films these days. It keeps me so busy that I don’t have time to compose music for other films. I want to be sincere with each task I take up and if I can’t dedicate enough time to compose music for other heroes, then I would rather not do it at all,” he said back in 2017. His debut film Naan (dubbed in Telugu as Nakili), Salim, and then Picchaikaaran were both critical and commercial hits. In fact, when Picchaikaaran was dubbed in Telugu as Bicchagadu, the film’s remarkable run at the box-office, against all odds, was one of the biggest success stories of 2016. Later, Vijay Antony’s subsequent films like Shaitan and his recent film Indrasena opened to bigger numbers than he had expected. “I thought, perhaps, in 10 years, people in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will recognise me as the actor who was in Bicchagadu or Nakili. But the recognition came much earlier than I had expected to be. I’ll always be grateful to the audiences for that,” Vijay Antony said at an event.
