Vijay, many Kollywood observers, have said is the true follower of Rajinikanth's formula.
So it should come as small surprise that Vijay has evinced interest in doing a Rajini movie as a remake.
As everyone knows, today's fad is to remake and re-interpret hits of yesteryear.
Bollywood has started the trend. There is a talk of Tamil movies too following suit.
Among Rajini's hits, Billa and Thee are billed to be remade again.
In this context, Vijay, asked by a Tamil newspaper, has specifically said that if Rajini's blockbuster Murattu Kalai is remade, he would want to play the title role.
In a sense, it is also apt that somebody like Vijay, who has a mass following, take up the mantle of Rajinikanth.
