It has become a habit and a critical requisite for Captain Vijayakanth that he must visit Singapore for a medical review every year. This year, the Ramana actor left to Singapore on November 28, and he was spotted at the Chennai International Airport this morning, returning from the trip.
He landed at 11am in Chennai, and when his wife Premalatha spoke to the press, she revealed that his health has been improving very well. It is also said that he will be returning to the silver screen with Thamizhan Endru Sol, in early 2018. The film stars his son, Shanmugapandian.
In a lively, jolly interview with us, Captain Vijayakanth opened up about his massive career spanning a 150 plus films and the current state of films and top actors. He revealed how he managed the hectic year of 1984 when he acted in a whopping 18 films.
We asked him about his thoughts about a possible remake of his stellar hit Chinna Gounder, to which he replied, "Contemporary artists of today doing the remake is a doubt. Every artist wants a separate image for themselves; they won't even spin a top without it. Not everyone is a director's artist like Vijayakanth."
