While Vaettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu continues to burn the box-office charts and also the comments section on this blog, we have some more updates related to the movie.

The United States Consul General in Chennai, David Hopper watched the movie in a private screening, reports The Hindu.

Unlike Hollywood films, Indian films were a mix of music, drama, action … I thoroughly enjoyed watching the film,” Mr. Hopper said.

Meanwhile, Gautham opened up in an inter-college cultural festival. Excerpts:

In justification of all the gore and violence in his latest movie, `Vettaiyadu Vilayadu’, the director said that the film was meant to disturb the people.

He claimed that `Vettaiyadu Vilayadu’ was among the first films in recent times to have unparalleled technical finesse.

…the director had ended up hero-worshipping Kamal Hassan in `Vettaiyadu Vilayadu’. “I guess the fan of Kamal in me could not be suppressed,” responded the director.
