'A GOOD SCRIPT TAKES CARE OF EVERY SHORTCOMING IN A FILM'

ACTOR Vijay Antony recently returned to the screens with the investigative thriller Maargan, the directorial debut of editor Leo John Paul. The film evoked interest with a unique antagonist characterisation that it made the protagonist look ordinary. Vijay Antony boldly shares that he can get away with thousands of usual run-of-the-mill cop roles if they were written for an extraordinary script. "I feel there is no necessity to present a vocation differently every time you play it. That is true even for police officer roles. One good script makes up for everything else, including a familiar character. The script of Maargan necessitated a strong negative role and a seemingly ordinary cop. At the end of the day, if a film's story does not resonate with the audience, it doesn't matter how brilliant a character is. According to me, if people remember a film's character more than its story, then the film has failed. Nothing should take primacy over the story. If that clicks, it can cover every other flaw. If that misses the mark, no other redemptive aspect can ever truly save such a film," he begins.
