Veteran
actor
Vivek,
who
will
be
seen
playing
Karthi's
father
in
the
upcoming
horror
film
Kashmora,
has
said
public
intelligence
is
fast
becoming
a
threat
to
movies.
In
one
of
his
interviews
to
Times
of
India,
the
54-year-old
actor
has
spoken
about
his
upcoming
films
and
how
various
social
media
platforms
are
playing
key
roles
in
today's
cinema.
"Karthi
will
be
seen
as
my
son
in
'Kashmora'.
Though
I
essay
an
aged
man's
role,
it
is
a
flamboyant
character,
and
not
a
serious
one.
The
cop
I
portray
in
'Muthuramalingam'
will
be
a
loud
one.
He
is
a
person
who
can't
keep
secrets.
The
comic
portions
are
based
on
this
interesting
trait
of
the
character,
he
has
said.
On
public
intelligence,
he
has
said,
"They
(movie
goers)
can
identify
copies
of
foreign
movies.
Public
intelligence
has
become
a
big
threat
to
films
now.
They
show
no
mercy
in
tearing
a
film
apart
if
they
feel
cheated,
irrespective
of
how
big
its
star
cast
is.
I
think
audiences
were
always
clever,
but
there
weren't
platforms
such
as
Twitter
for
them
to
air
their
thoughts.
Going
by
the
memes,
I
feel
audience
has
a
better
sense
of
humour
than
us."
On
his
next
release
Rum,
Vivek
has
said,
"The
film
will
have
ample
scope
for
humour
in
my
style,
though
it
is,
basically,
a
spine-chilling
spooker.
I
feel
revealing
anything
about
my
role
would
spoil
the
suspense.
But
I
can
say
that
this
project
has
a
technically
sound
crew.
Its
director,
debutant
Sai
Bharath,
used
to
work
on
VFX
in
films
earlier."
Among
young
music
directors,
Anirudh
is
his
favourite.
"Anirudh
scoring
music
for
the
film
is
yet
another
highlight.
I
have
always
been
a
fanatic
fan
of
Ilaiyaraaja.
However,
Anirudh
is
my
favourite
in
the
current
generation."
