The much-awaited teaser of the Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Theri, which was released at midnight of February 5, has become an instant rage among his fans. The high-octane 50-second teaser portrays Vijay in two different roles — one as a stylish cop and the other as a loving father. His rendition of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ with his trademark modulation has now become the latest mantra among youngsters. His ardent fans also made sure that their beloved star’s teaser created a record as it now has the most views and most likes in the first twelve hours for any Tamil film, beating the likes of Ajith Kumar’s Vedalam and Vikram’s I. The teaser has already scaled more than 1.5 million views with more than one lakh likes and counting.
But, it’s almost inevitable for Vijay’s movies to land up in controversy. The makers and fans were in for a shock as the teaser was temporarily removed from YouTube. Though the reason is still unclear, reports suggest that it was removed briefly after a website claimed copyrights for the teaser. The film, which also stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson, is expected to hit the screens on April 14.
