VM: Da, send me the link of the Tiruchy policeman’s video that went viral.
SR: Oh DCP Mayilvahanam? That was inspiring bro. I hope directors take ideas from it to write mass film dialogues.
VM: Who did he remind you of most? In terms of actors I mean. He’s so much like Aarusamy no? Vikram from Saamy ?
SR : Oh yes. Just that this guy is a policeman, not a porukki !
VM : That’s more Swamy than Saamy da …
SR : ROFL, good one. It was more Anbuchelvan ( Kaakha Kaakha ) if you ask me. He was calm, composed and so firm. Had there been more cops like him in Chennai last Monday, the last day of the Jallikattu protests, I don’t think Marina would have been so chaotic.
VM: Are you suggesting that with reel cops, Tamil Nadu would be a safer State to live in?
SR : Oh yes. Think of it. Who will mess with Alex Pandian if he was the DGP? We’d be a State with zero rowdyism or corruption. No cop role since then has captured the magic that Rajini created in Moondru Mugam .
VM: I completely agree. In recent times, I loved Sathyadev in Yennai Arindhaal . Imagine someone like him working under Alex Pandian as an IG. It would be a pucca mix of mass and class.
SR : Ah, that’d be like Kohli playing under Dhoni again… who do you think will be their DIGs?
VM: That’s easy. DIG Duraisingam will be a tough cookie. With his Thoothukudi background, no city rowdy stands a chance.
SR: Nor does a Tata Sumo bonnet…
VM: LOL. But I think it will be relatively safer with one more DIG. Aarusamy would take a bribe and still punish the villain. How cool is that?
SR: So we have a Suriya and a Vikram in the same rank?
VM: Ok, for the SPs, I’d recommend Ka. Sethupathi ( Sethupathi ), Mathimaran Rathnavel ( Kaaki Sattai ) and Osthe Velan ( Osthe ). Just like in any profession, we need youngsters in the police force too, and these three are damn good ones.
SR: We need a few experienced hands as well. Maybe include Walter Vetrivel and Honest Raj to the list?
VM: Hey, I forgot to add Deepak ( Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru ) to my list. I thought he was a solid cop who knew how to take an investigation forward.
SR: These cops are more than enough to make Tamil Nadu peaceful, but what if there’s a case in the US that a cop here has to solve?
VM: Raghavan ( Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu ) is there for that. He’d be my choice for Director of Intelligence. He’d head a separate wing with specialists to take on undercover operations.
SR: Wow, that’s exciting. Who else would you depute to be part of his team?
VM: Sathyamoorthy IPS.
SR: Who’s that da?
VM: That’s Vijay in Pokkiri . He’s so discreet that we’ve actually forgotten him.
SR: That was a big changeover la . I still remember the gasps of surprise in the theatre when he strode in khakhi .
VM : But I knew that right from the beginning…
SR : Cos you saw the Telugu version or something?
VM : No da . It’s called the having Raghavan instinct.
