Vamshi Paidpally is basking in the success of his recently released film, Varisu. The film stars Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role. While the film is minting money, many criticized the film and compared the film to daily soaps. Vamshi has now fiercely defended his film and said that there's a lot of hard work that goes into a film and the sacrifices that a filmmaker and a lead actor make. He further asked people not to degrade television serials as they keep several thousand people engrossed.
Speaking to Tamil magazine, Vikatan, Vamshi said, "You know how tough it is to make a film these days? Do you know how much a team works to make a film work? You know how much hard work is put in to entertain the audience? Brother, it's not a joke. There are so many sacrifices that every filmmaker is making. There are so many sacrifices that every lead actor is making. Thalapathy Vijay is one of the biggest superstars in this country. Do you know how hard he works? He rehearses for every song and every dialogue. Only efforts are in our hands, results are not. He is my review writer. He is my critic. I make films for him."
He further added, "And what is this, comparing the film to a TV serial? Why are you degrading serials? Do you know how many people it is keeping engrossed in the evenings? Look at your homes, everyone is engaged with serials. Why are you degrading it? Don't degrade anything. That's also a creative job. This is a creative job as well."
