Oscar winning movie Parasite similar to Vijay’s 1999 movie Minsara Kanna? Twitterati REACT

While fans of Thala Vijay are going gaga over the recent IT raid at his residence, some are waiting to see the teaser of the actor’s next film Master. However, a section of people are stating that the Oscar winning movie Parasite strikes a chord of actor Vijay’s 1997 movie Minsara Kanna. Directed by KS Ravikumar, the film had Khushbu, Rambha, Monica Castelino, Manivannan and Mansoor Ali Khan in key roles.

Kollywood fans took to Twitter and mentioned the similarities between the two films. In Minsara Kanna, a millionaire (Vijay), who visits India, falls for a humble girl. In order to help his love, the whole family of Vijay comes to India and pretends to be poor to get in the good books of Vijay’s love interest. Whereas in Parasite, a poor family slowly crawls into the lives of a wealthy family for economic benefits. Parasite is Bong Joon Ho's Korean black comedy movie and it swept the top awards at the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday.

On the work front, Vijay is currently busy with the shooting of his next film, Master, which has Andrea Jeremiah and Malavika Mohanan as female leads. The film has Vijay Sethupathi as the main antagonist. The film also has Shanthanu in a prominent role. Vijay has been on the headlines since last week after he was taken out of the Master sets by the income tax officials.
