For over 12
hours, a Twitter storm has been blowing as netizens have come together to pray
for Contractor Neasamani, a character played by comedian Vadivelu in the 2001
Tamil movie Friends. But fast asleep through this hilarious social media
exchange in Theni district was the actor himself, who was flabbergasted when
told about how this scene from two decades ago has become the subject of India's
number one Twitter trend.
Speaking to
TNM on Thursday morning, a surprised Vadivelu says, "I have no idea what
is happening. I haven't seen anything yet."
When informed
of the internet circus around his character Neasamani, Vadivelu breaks into
amused laughter, barely able to contain himself.
"What? It
has become famous across the world? Oh god. It has gone to America and
everywhere? Thank you," he says, addressing his fans now. "Yes, the
movie was with Vijay and Suriya. I have
acted in a lot of movies and made the whole world laugh. But I didn't know
about this," he adds.
"This
entire trend is a victory given by God, a victory for the movie's director
Siddique and the victory for the people who enjoy my comedy," Vadivelu tells
TNM.
The actor
further told Tamil channel Puthiya Thalaimurai that characters like Neasmani
were a god-given gift to his career.
#Pray_for_Neasamani
trended after a Pakistan-based meme page Civil Engineering Learners posed a
question, “What is the name of the tool in your country?” by posting a photo of
a hammer.
A Vadivelu fan
was quick to connect the hammer with a scene from Friends, in which Contractor
Neasamani ends up with an injury because one of his inept assistants (Ramesh
Kanna) drops a hammer on his head after failing to follow the simplest of
instructions. The humour in the scene is accentuated by the poker-faced
expressions of Vijay and Suriya, who play second fiddle to Vadivelu.
After the user
connected the hammer to Neasamani, another Tamil Facebook user, mockingly
wrote, “Is he ok?” Now these two decided to rib the entire Facebook culture of
praying for someone with #Pray_for_Neasamani which later snowballed into a
major Twitter trend with memes and funny responses.
Following
this, even journalists and politicians joined the joke and began to add more
satirical tweets to the growing trend. Brands too joined in, making Neasamani
ads, the latest being Sony Music which has released a special collection of
songs for 'Pray for Neasamani'.
Even
Manushyaputhiran, a poet and DMK supporter joined the trend, penning a poem for
the contractor, who he says, passed away after being in a coma. Linking the
Twitter trend to the ongoing political scenario, Manushiyaputiran pointed out
that on a day that the PM was being sworn in, the death of Neasamani was seen
as a sign of misfortune. Taking a dig at the BJP, the poet adds that nobody is
really bothered because bad things happened even when people were promised that
'Good days will come'.
Several social
media users pointed out that the entire phenomenon was actually a tribute to
actor Vadivelu's evergreen comedy scenes. He has acted in over 100 films in
Tamil cinema and received several awards for his comic timing and ability to
make members of all age groups laugh. From 2012 however, he slowly began to
reduce the number of film he acted in and was last seen in the Tamil movie
Mersal in 2017.
But today, as
#Pray_for_Neasamani evokes mirth across the world, Vadivelu wants to join the laughter.
"Send me
the memes on Whatsapp," he says, before signing off.
