Vijay Antony, once a box office sensation with his critically acclaimed films Bichagadu and Bichagadu 2, has faced a series of underwhelming performances in recent years. His latest film, Hitler, is set to clash with the highly anticipated pan-Indian blockbuster Devara, starring Jr. NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan.
Antony’s previous films, including Romeo and Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan, failed to resonate with audiences. The lack of buzz surrounding these releases indicates that Antony’s star power may be diminishing.
Hitler, however, is a different proposition. The film is set against a political backdrop and has generated some interest with its intriguing trailer. The presence of veteran actor Charan Raj, known for his villainous roles, adds to the anticipation. Antony’s decision to clash with Devara, a much-hyped pan-Indian film, is a bold move. While it could potentially increase the visibility of Hitler, it also risks being overshadowed by the larger film. Furthermore, the impending release of Rajinikanth’s Vettayan could further complicate matters for Antony.
Despite the challenges, Antony deserves credit for his persistence. He has continued to experiment with different genres and has remained active in the industry despite the setbacks. Hitler could be the film that revitalizes his career, but it remains to be seen if it can deliver the box office success he desires.
