The Story in Brief
Director-in-waiting Jason Sanjay has named Yash-starrer KGF as his favourite commercial entertainer, praising its action, fictional historical setting and loyalty to the genre. Sanjay, actor Vijay’s son, will make his Kollywood debut with the Sundeep Kishan-starrer Sigma.
Sigma, also starring Faria Abdullah and Raju Sundaram, was due for release on July 31 but has been postponed, with no new date announced. The heist film is produced by Lyca Productions. Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, was released on July 23 after CBFC delays and cuts, including references to Vijay’s political party. It received lukewarm reviews but collected over Rs 300 crore worldwide, according to Hindustan Times.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that Sanjay’s choice was a pointed slight to his father, while another lazy reading treats KGF as just loud spectacle. His comments instead praise a clear genre identity, something many commercial films struggle to maintain. Sigma should be judged on its own heist story, not on Vijay’s political profile or family connection. The useful test is simple: will its eventual release date and audience response justify the postponement?
