Thalaivar + Puyal + Shankar => Sivaji the BOSS

SIVAJI AUDIO REVIEW
By Manoher Sreekumar ( NewYork, USA) with inputs from Arun Gopinath ( India )

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

It is 12:15 AM (EST, USA), April 3rd. A severe headache, didn’t sleep the previous night and have nothing in mind but just to hit the bed. 12:25 AM (EST), my Editor gives a call, checks on the status of the music review of Sivaji and hurriedly hangs the phone. Well, I switched on my music system and for the next four hours found myself doing nothing but listening to ‘The Boss’.

If you are just about to catch a flight or on your way to your office, I just have one line for you. “Sivaji audio is a magic, which needs to be experienced, cherished, remembered and revered for decades to come”, period.

Athiradee
A.R.Rahman, Sayanora | Lyrics : Vali

I started with Athirade – had special instructions to start with this song, and took six replays before I could switch over to the next song. Rahman for Rajini – the two thalaivars of millions, will have millions more swinging, millions asking for once-mores and millions dumb stuck, when the song hits the silver screen. Rahman is unstoppable – thank the Lord, for making him pick this one for himself – “Billa, Ranga, Badshah thaan…evan pistol paesum bayshah thaan”. The female voice of Sayanora and the chorus are just great. Special mention for lyrics – its fun, frolic and frisk. Can someone tell me, is lyricist Vaali a 21 years old bloke out of New College?!

Balleilakka
S.P.Balasubramaniam, Raihanah, Benny & Chorus | Lyrics : Na.Muthukumar

Are you a big fan of his breath taking walks, his mesmerizing styles, his charming smile and his numerous trademark gimmicks, then rest assured you are just about to be taken on a memorable ride by the Superstar in this song. Hear this number and you cannot stop letting your imagination run wild, picturizing one of the biggest idols of all times just creating destruction on the 70mm screen. The intensity of SPB is too good to be written, he has sung as if he is making his debut with this album. Raihanah is refreshingly folky. Lyrics by Na.Muthukumar are just straight from heart!

“Annan vantha TamilNadum America” – thaliva nee vararuthukku thaan nanga thavam kadakarom.

The Boss
Blazee, Naresh Iyer and Raqueeb Alam | Lyrics : Na.Muthukumar

Seven punch lines, three rappers and a three minute stunner. It would be a crime to review this piece more without the visuals. Written as a theme music for Superstar, the percussions used are definitely new to Tamil Film Music. Watch out for the last 30 seconds high finale!

“Sachin adicha sixer thaan da, Sivaji adicha puncher thaan da”….lyricist Na.Muthukumar will hit big time if Rajinikanth’s fans lap up this song.

Vaaji Vaaji
Hariharan, Madhusree and chorus | Lyrics : Vairamuthu

A.R.Rahman might not be as innocent as he looks. He is a big timer teaser, starting the song with some mystic sounds resembling Buddhist musical notes. When you are all set expecting some slow paced melody, he changes the tempo with the chorus chanting “Aambal Aambal”….. “Muval Muval”. Well, if you are wondering what these words are, they are the two most researched words in Tamil now, after Vairamuthu used them in this song.

The song sung by Hariharan and Madhusree is a classic example of a genius at work. Though it looks simple from outside, it has little bit of everything – Qawwali, Punjabi, Mediterranean and of course Tamil. (Maybe that is what the maestro himself is all about!)

Sahara
Vijay Yesudas, Gomathi Sree & chorus | Lyrics : Vairamuthu & Traditional lyrics of Thiruppaavai

Vijay Yesudas, Gomathi Sree & chorus | Lyrics : Vairamuthu & Traditional lyrics of Thiruppaavai

A haunting irish pipe seamlessly transitions itself into a flute, with the mellifluous Vijay Yesudas bolstering it further to give the song a great start. Vijay has given his best to make the most of the big opportunity. His efforts have paid off. But the surprise element is Gomathi Sree, her voice resonate and reverberate as she recites the Thirupaavai, with a subtle guitar in the background. Yet another master stroke from the Mozart.

Sahana
Udit Narayan, Chinmayi | Lyrics : Vairamuthu.

If it was Munbe Vaa in 2006, then it is Sahana in 2007. Rahman just loves doing the soft melodies. But the best part about Rahman is that he is able to consistently break the bench marks he sets himself and keep pushing his music further to the next level with constant improvisation and re-inventions. He does it again this time with Sahana. Udit Narayan and Chinmayi are picture- perfect for the song, though Udit might need some more intensive Tamil classes to catch up. Rahman’s interlude is just the icing on the cake. Watch for the way Chinmayi signs off at end, talent written all over!

Vairamuthu comes up with a masterpiece. It is said that Rajinikanth wished the poet personally for his work on this song.

Style
Rags, Tanvi, Suresh Peters, Blaaze | Lyrics : Pa.Vijay.

Have you heard of anything like this before in Tamil music….no. Has Rajini done anything as flauntingly flashy as this before…..no. But still the guts and imagination of Shankar and Rahman make them experiment here and in the process brings Hip Hop to Tamil audience. The song has been getting good reviews so far from various quarters, though it is expected to take off once it has Sivaji Rao Gaekwad shaking his leg.

“Black or white, it really doesn’t matter!!”….hmm what does that mean….is there some hidden fact there. Pa.Vijay comes up with some very catchy lines to make it interesting.

The album

Looking back at the album, Shankar has succeeded in extracting the best out of Rahman, now the big question….will he succeed in extracting the best out of Rajini?

Finally, for few frowners who are still not satisfied with the music, I have just this to say… “Rest in peace, you will be conquered!”

And for the rest of the people who are still reading,
Go get the CD, cause its Rahman who is rocking!!
Go get the CD, cause there will be nothing left over!!

Wrong. She never signed up for one as she was busy with Ratnam's GURU.

Looking at the lead couple, I think RGV can easily spoof them easily.

Mallika Sherawat in Sivaji.... Shocked

Even Shivaji,Kamal and Many extremely popular actors have defied their ages and played such roles before....and for the zillionth time Shivaji is not a complete macho man in this movie...this is not a superman story..there is a social message...as for you saying shankar changing his script 3 to 4 times in ARR albums...i do know he is a perfectionist and that he tries to retake some scenes..but never does he change scripts..Rajini approved of the script immediately and had nothing to play from then on

My personal rating of the songs,
1. Ballelakka

3. Vaaji
4. Oru koodai
5. Sahana
6. Sahara
The theme music is also fantastic and thalaivar will make it more and more outstanding on the screen.

One person put in so much money and another one it to go down the drain

I do not know it will flop a not but there is a possiblity, everyone said India will beat Bangla in the Wc but look at what happened.So nothing is confirmed.

Only a "****" story will lead to it's downfall i guess if not this movie sure a Blockbuster,

Shivaji is like no other Indian Film

'All the roads lead to Rome' is an old proverb. 'All the people's and the media attention is only on Shivaji is the new proverb in south Indian cinema. This is no exaggeration.The entire state of Tamil Nadu is going crazy about Shivaji after the audio launch of the film. Young boys and college students have been seen changing their hairstyles like Rajini's in the film immediately after the release of some photographs from Shivaji. Many ardent fans of Rajini purchased the CDs and cassettes with their own money and supplied them to their neighbours free of cost! At the same time, some people sold the CDs in black market for Rs.250 today as the demand was greater than the supply. Nearly 80,000 CDs got sold out on the second day, and the sellers have requested the production house to send another 1 lakh CDs to meet the increasing demand. According to the 'Music World' show room manager, people are prefering to purchase CDs rather than cassettes. He told us that he has seen more crowd today than on Monday when the audio was formally launched. AVM sources say that its audio distribution wing has supplied nearly 5 lakhs audio CDs and cassettes all over south India. They also say that there is an amazing response for the audio in Mumbai as well. According to them, more than 38 thousand audio CDs were sold in Kerala only. This is for the very first time that an audio in a different language has sold in the state in such a huge number, they claimed. CD Sellers of Chennai Ritchie Street, the whole sale audio marketers for the entire south, told us that they had never seen such a high demand for a film's audio in the past 25 years. Pradeep of Supreme audio said, "On Monday, I opened my shop at 5 in the morning. When I reached there, there was a long queue waiting to purchase the Shivaji audio in front my two shops. It was quite unbelievable. One person, who had come there with a mini CD player, listened to the songs on the spot. He distributed sweets to the gathering there immediately after he felt satisfied with the Shivaji songs. This is really amazing, and I have never experienced any thing like it. The whowle country hasnt experienced anything like this. The super star has breathed a new life into the audio market through his film Shivaji. There is no doubt that Rajini has always ruled southern cinema and he is the real super star in the country!" Probably going withe present hype, AVM Productions has plans to bring out a short film about the making of the film. No other Indian film has created so much hype like Shivaji has done in India or abroad. This film will be an unforgettable one for its producer AVM Saravanan, who is going to complete his 50th anniversary in film production. Before Shivaji, he has worked with the Superstar in 8 films. Before this, none of his films have made excited him so much neither has any of his films made him as proud as Shivaji has. In fact Shivaji, alias Rajini, has given a new life to the legendary production house on its 70th anniversary. Before the announcement of Shivaji, there was distribution of the ownership rights of the AVM Studios between the AVM brothers. AVM Saravanan got a lesser portion of the Studio premises. At this critical situation, he gave away the entire rights of the Tamil films produced under AVM banner to his younger brother AVM. Balasubramanian. At a time when Saravanan was planning for some other projects to survive in the industry, Rajini came forward to allot his prestigious call sheets. He recommended Shankar's name to direct Shivaji. After the formal announcement of this project, the entire industry was up and about. There are hundreds and thousands of news, gossips, and debates doing the rounds about this film in the media, as well as the public. It is Shivaji, which has kept online journalists always in alert. For the first time in the world, some of the portals 'released' the complete songs of the movie with lyric notes online. But the curiosity for this film hasn't faded due to this leak. Infact, it has helped a lot in the film's overseas popularity, in a different way. Keeping all these facts in mind, AVM Saravanan has asked the director to shoot a film on the making of Shivaji, simultaneously with the film. This film might feature all the stars including the 'King of Southern Cinema' Rajini and the director Shankar. Other technicians, including the incredible A.R. Rahman, cameraman, lyricists, dance masters, stunt masters...will share their unforgettable moments of association with Rajini and the film, Shivaji, in this curtain-raiser. The crew has titled this as 'Making of Shivaji - The Boss' and it will be of one hour in length. The CD and DVD of this short film will be circulated to the press at the time of Shivaji preview. AVM has planned to circulate the CDs to the outlets for sale, a after few days of the release of the film.

oh ! I think RK fans generally buy the shows for the first 2 weeks. In that case, I don't think it will be a big problem. It may be a limitation in the long run

Only Rajni fans can do that ? Rolling Eyes

I thought any actor's fan could do that too! Cool

Correction : "It is two days and not two weeks" typo

I agree any actor's fans can do that. But the "Gap" and "Expectation" plays the vital role here.

AFAIK, Only the opening show is bought for the few youger heroes' movies. Apart from that, I don't know much about what goes behind other stars. Just posted what I knew

Not sure though !

hi venki, please don't say this....I have kept a bet that Sivaji will be a Blockbuster with my friends even though my friends who are all hardcore RK fans say that they are not happy with RK joining hands with Shankar as the movie depicted by Shankar will be the same and they give examples of his past movies which has turned them off which have the same story line of corruption and cleaning the society....and they are eagerly awaiting for KH's Dasa as it is directed by KSR

but if I lose (mind it I have said it as Blockbuster Record so there's no superhit or hit calculation here) I will end up giving treat for a number of days equal to the number of friends who have kept bet with me...so the betting for Sivaji has started among we friends...but I am suprised by this act and attitude of my friends who generally like Rajini's movies like Annamalai, Baasha, Muthu, Padayappa and would want to see a movie like this only or a movie with KSR would suffice...this clearly shows that they are hardcore and would want KSR type commercial formula movies...thats why KSR is a favorite with not only the family but also the hardcore fans of Rajini....

Whatever it is my gut feel is Shankar will never give another Gentleman, Indian, Mudhalvan or Anniyan in the movie Sivaji, I believe Sivaji will be a milestone in Shankar's career because of Rajini and vice-versa....lets wait n watch...

Why do you care abt the negative posts that come? If a number of ppl like somebody, there'll obviously be ppl that will hate him! If you just quit because of some negative comments, then this thread will totally vanish in a matter of time... Is that what you want? So my suggestion would be to ignore those comments that you dont feel comfortable with, and focus on the movie... Trust me, the movie album is just the beginning, and there is sooooooo much more to discuss! And we definitely need ardent fans like you...

KK songs became more popular due to good visuals but songs were Supeerhit BEFORE Release itself

1. u didnt get my point here sakala.......i meant ARR's songs bcome a huge hit before the movie releases........but due to bad picturisation/movie flop ,it goes out quickly.....however, if u can remember , last year, Munbe vaa of SOK was a hit b4/after movie release inspite of bad picturisation/movie flop......and dont think i have only one example...

2. its clear from all reports that, shivaji has been the most "expected" album in the history for Rajini fans....all cassette/CD shop owners have clearly said, the "opening" for a audio has been never b4 like this........ITS BCOS RAJINI+ARR+SHANKAR.....even if one had been missing here, this stupendous opening wudlnt have been possible.........ofcourse, Rajinikanth is the biggest contributor here......

I got an insider's view of the movie.Sorry,name couldn't be revealed.He told me that

"the movie is all about sivaji,who loses to traitors take revenge on them.The highlight of the movie is that rajnikanth appears in all his superhit get-ups,about nine of them probably or twelve.They are naan sigappu manithan,billa(rajappa,not billa),murattukaalai,aboorva raagangal,mullum malarum,etcetera(CM,muthu,padaiyappa,annamalai,darmathin thalaivan,thalapathy and johny maybe others,he explained me vaguely)The climax fight which KB told would have styles of the superstar as in those movies.

songs:
1.sahana pookal:a lavish mirror set with k.v.anand's superb camera.

2.style style:as we know those spanish pics n multicolor hairstyles

3.bailelakka:on the lines of kokku parapara.

4.athiradee:the surprise packag of the movie,supposedly with a bureau(nayan) sponsor

5.others:no idea."

venki, whatever ppl may think now, it dont affect the movie. but once the film is out then only ppl can decide, so if the film is good, those small percentage of ppl too will come to see the movie. and chances are high for that, becos, not only the brains of shankar, arr, rajni(in that order) is involved, its also sujaatha(who takes care of dialog, screenplay, its onlye story where he shares with shankar).

so even if
shankar takes care of commercial aspects,
arr for music(which is already a hit now),
and rajni for his style and pulling power, (these 3 aspects itself is enuf for a rajni film to be BB)

still u have sujatha to feed in sensible issues which will make the storyline strong....

RK dons 10 get-ups in the song athiradi machaan. All these 10 get-ups are from his previous movies such as ranga, billa, baasha, etc.

From: kamalsurya on Sun Apr 8 0:34:08 2007.

In ur post this is an absoulte truth, Shankar is nothing but a broken record.Keep grinding out the same movie with the same storyline but diff charactrisations and new technology and techniques.

He certainly does not deserve his position he is enjoying at the moment.But this movie def will be a record breaking movie and go on to create history but that will be soley due to Rajini fans.And again Shankar will be hyped to the utmost level and the cycle will again continue for this "GRAND DIRECTOR".

i just dont understand y ppl. are still criticising udit for sahana??? ARR used 2 singers for the song - Udit and Vijay.......udit completed it superbly, vijay couldnt even sing it along with the pitch....thats clear difference......

and i dunno, y this tamil diction accusation flies whenever a ARR album releases.........the recent Chennai-28 album had more flaws in tamil than in shivaji......its clear plaigarism that its ARR's albums which come under scanner for this issue...

From: MADDY on Sun Apr 8 5:58:28 2007.

no KS, not even Naresh Iyer cud have done it as good as Udit......hey touch ur heart and say - which was a better sung version - Vijay or Udit's??? Rolling Eyes

anyways, this is wat one srilankan had to say abt ARRahman and shivaji and "stupid" comparisons with YSR and HJ: Clap

Im frm srilanka n at first I dnt undstand much tamil but it was AR Rahman`s music dat made me to listen to tamil songs n to watch tamil movies..Evry1 knws dat Boys was flop in India but in Srilanka it was a mega blockbuster simply bcoz of ARR`s rockin music.When I went to the CD shop on sunday morning to buy the Sivaji CD it was damn packed n CD`s n Cassetts were juz flyng off the shelves...All Sivaji songs r rockin specially the Adhiradee song sung by the genius himself with sayonara..rite nw requests r juz pourin in to the local tamil radio stations requesting 4 Sivaji songs...U guys should b much gr8ful 2 hve such a genius 2 b born in India....Hw can u compare such a genius with YSR,HJ n them.. So if u havnt got the Cd yet go get them nw coz all songs r Rocking!!!!!!!1

my problem here is, when pppl. carelessly say : YSR's nowadays gives better music than ARR, HJ has better market than ARR,......ARR lost his deposit to HJ.....y these needless comments??? inspite of so many achievements, y is ARR still treated on par with these younger gen??? y is he not given a veteran status atleast, if not a legend status??? y is it that outer state/country ppl. are more appreciative than his own people??

Thimiru,
While Udit's pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired, IMO Rahman was right in selecting him for 'Sahana'. I have stopped to look for purity in pronunciation in Rahman albums. So, if i ignore that, Udit has done justice in 'Sahana'...

Plus, while in Rahman's albums usually its the N.I singers who kill Thamizh, but in the case of YSR, N.I singers aren't necessary to do that. Yuvan himself and wannabe "hip-hop" kings do the trick

But no one can beet arr here. He will take 1 or 2 years just to find out the right NI people to kill any song. We need to appreciate the pain he is going through to finish the job, what do you say?

Judge,
Suffice to say that its not fair to single out Rahman alone for the treatment of lyrics.

Looking at all these previous pages, it all ends up in this... If you like the album, listen to it! If you dont for any reason, just ignore it, and listen to some other album! Just cos one person or his allies doesnt like this album, it doesnt diminish its success in any way! So why take sooo much pain to bring it down! If Udit Narayan doesnt pronounce Tamil well, listen to some singer who can in fact pronounce Tamil well! There are a zillion nice songs out there.... Spare this bashing!

And I am just wondering how you guys would react if the same album was scored for any of your favorite actors! Dont tell me, all this bashing is cos you dont like Rajini... That'll be the most ridiculous reasoning for any music lover!

Yes Sir

No one blames Udit here but the guy who puts him into act is responsible. Thamizh therinja oruththar tamizh kolai seyya anumathiththal yeppadi jeeranikka mudiyum?? If you can digest that fact, it will not be a problem digesting Yuvan's pronunciation. Namma annachchi said one interview that he will not use Udit anymore in tamil and will use proper singers. But he always says one thing and does the opposite, so no need to take him seriously

Ban On Shivaji
Tamilfilmratings.com [ 09 April 2007 ]

An extremist group called Karnataka Rakshana Vedika has issued warnings against the release of Rajinikanth�s Shivaji in Karnataka.

This announcement is against the the final award of the Cauvery River Water Tribunal. Also this group had damaged the theatres running Tamil films including Mozhi, Veyil and Koodal Nagar.

But at the same time Kannada film shootings including that of actor Vishuvardhan�s movie is taken in Ooty without any hassle.

Further Kannada movie Kuppi dubbed and released in Tamil is also running in Tamil Nadu without any problem. But in Karnataka the scene is different.

Rajini who is a Kanndiga has not so far uttered a word about the violence. People from Tamil Nadu as well as Karnataka are now eagerly awaiting Rajinikanth�s reaction to the issue.

SIVAJI TELUGU AUDIO REVIEW !!

Stylish, Contemporary and Unique
APK | April 09, 2007

Click here to listen to the songs

Rating: ***.75 (***** Very Good, **** Good, *** Fair, ** Average, * Bad)

The most awaited release of this year is out, at least for South India. And while the posters and publicity look out of this world-with both the lead pair gone blonde in bad wigs, the songs are good. All the hype and expectations may actually be harmful for the movie, but the music by AR Rehman will definitely ensure that the viewers have something they know will be a treat to watch. Good songs with Rajnikant's typical mannerisms and histrionics are sure to please admirers and cynics both.

Belleilakka With a pacy chorus, Belleilakka is really swift and the rhythm is great. A song reminiscing about the home in the village, it is nostalgic in tone. SP Balasubrahmanyam, Raihanah, Benny lend their voices for this wonderfully express-beat song while Bhuvana Chandra, Suddala Ashok Teja and Kulashekar have penned the lyrics. Guess what, this time too many cooks did not spoil the broth. The chorus is fantastic in this song, and SP Balu proves that he can match word and versatility like before. ***.75

Style Hip-hop, reggae and rap feature in this song. It sounds like an international hip-hop number, and if you don't listen carefully, even the lyrics sound like that. But wait, it's actually Telugu. 'Adirenu nee style..'-specially formulated for the king of characteristic style-Rajnikant. Love him, hate him, you can't ignore him-and the same with this number. It's straight out of the streets of NY, and it's possible it's set there too. The lyricist trio is the same, while Rags, Blaaze, Tanvi and Suresh Peters render this number. Gangsta' Rap, nothing less. ***.75

Vaaji Vaaji A duet sung by Harinath and Madhushree, this has a flowery, breezy feel to it. Nothing extraordinary, this kind of a number has been heard before-but that doesn't take away its feel-good value. The three lyricists and the chorus are it again-sweet and simple. ***.25

Adharanee The beginning of this sounds the same as the Mahesh Babu-starrer Nani's title number and MJ's Thriller can be compared to this song in terms of composition. Rehman and Sayonara (yeah, that's a name) lend their voices for this number. Everything about this song takes you by surprise-the composition, the unique voices and the lyrics. A superbly fun and stylish number, with English lyrics added for effect; one can understand the English lyrics. Stylish, that's the key-word. ***.5

Sahana Another duet, melodious and soft. It has that dreamy romantic touch to it, but with lots of instruments playing and an overactive chorus that seems to occur in many of Rehman's songs under Shankar's direction. Udit Narayan and Chinmayee suit the gentleness of this number perfectly. ***.75

The Boss Here it is, the title number. Style overload, and if anyone understands even a couple of the words, then please inform the others. But clarity notwithstanding, it just multiplies the oomph and glam quotient to this mega-production. The instruments used in this song are many, and the drums sound fabulous. ***.25

Last Word Unique compositions, out of the world voices, crazy lyrics and chorus-Shivaji stretches boundaries, in music and rhythm. Rehman can stand and take a bow, for all those critics who've said he's lost the magic touch. His touch still remains, and the freshness and individuality of this album proves that. All the numbers are fun to listen to, not to mention colorful and snazzy. For those who listen to a lot of Hip hop or even soft rock, this might not sound fresh, but to keep that in Telugu/Tamil without losing its flavor is wizardry-which is what Rehman does with Shivaji's music. The movie's verdict might be good or bad, but the msuc verdict is definitely rocking.

New Giant hoarding by fans in Anna Nagar

In Chennai city and other parts of Tamil Nadu, many hoardings of Sivaji are cropping up in many parts here and there.

Though there are many political parties' hoardings in City in many parts - they are kept because of the concerned political power or money power or out of earnings by those political personalities.

But Superstar's fans are placing hoardings purely out of love they have towards him and with their own hard earned money. We don't have any polictical party or support or even support from Rajini.

Despite this, fans are fanatic.

Yesterday a giant hoarding was placed in Poonamalee High Road, Near NSK Nagar Bus Stop and Anna Nagar Arch.

I came to know about this and informed press persons to comeover there and cover the events.

Meanwhile a group of University of London students are camping in Chennai for their research and documentary on Superstar and his fans. Our member Neela Narayanan introduced them to me and i asked them to come to the hoarding inauguration ceremony so as we will be able cover the events as double delight. And also informed press to take coverage about this and publish.

Today Maalai malar will be publishing a special article with ample coverage on this.

Will update u further.

Pls check the photographs of the event in the following link:

You talk like as if KS Ravikumar wanted Udit for that song. No dude, it is annachchi's decision to have Udit singing for Rajini. I don't think KSR had any say here. And I don't have the link for that interview. It should be on the net, search for it!

Too much of crap talk going against Superstar there.....I have reported as much abuse as I can!

Can anyone point to any star who has had so much grip over the entire south before. I dunno if any other actor would make people to come to theatres.

Some Northies just compare him to Amithabji and SRK and just put up some crap arguement guys. Both Amithab's and SRK movie have been big flops.....but our superstar still rulezzzzzzzzzz

<Digr>

About Amitabh - Went through a severe identity crisis, unable to transition from hero to a character artist in the late 80s (goin through bad criticism).... Donno what will happen to Rajini! As of now, his standing at the BO is still awesome!

About Shahrukh - Visited landmark in Madras during the SWADES audio launch and said he had the kinda image that Rajini has in the north... HE said he was amazed at the run that CM had, and himself wanting to do the Hindi remake!

Who really cares what the North Indian fans say abt Rajini? All they know and have seen Rajini is in some Hindi movies in the 80s where Rajini acted as a 2nd hero, or did some style gimmicks... They base their whole judgement on this... Do they really know abt his real standing in Tamil movies? Atleast my North Indian friends dont!

Exactly!

Eggjatlly Bay..... just way too much arguement on some small petty stuff....you see the song is good and the arguement ends there. If Udit had really killed a nice audio treat due to his pronounciation, it makes sense to argue.

Regarding our thalaivar, I don't think he will do any character role.... he loves to have the grip over audience, so he will probably retire

Exactly!

Ban On Shivaji
Tamilfilmratings.com [ 09 April 2007 ]

Rajini who is a Kanndiga has not so far uttered a word about the violence. People from Tamil Nadu as well as Karnataka are now eagerly awaiting Rajinikanth�s reaction to the issue.

http://www.tamilfilmratings.com/news/fullnews.asp?ref=233

Whether Rajini is a Kannadiga or Marathi or Hindi, it really doesnt matter to this issue! This is abt ban on Tamil movies in Karnataka in general, and I'm not sure if they'll give an exception to SIVAJI, just cos the actor is a Kannada!

And what's it gonna do if Rajini utters a word or not! It's upto the producers to resolve any issue of this sort!

Boss, Vaaji, Athiradee, Sunlight and Style are boring alright. Only 2 songs suit Rajni. Balelilakka (despite being a direct copy of Devuda from CM) and Sahana/Sahara (probably a tribute to Ennavale or Kulluvalle from Muthu).

And the story is nothing new. Education reforms...pfft. I suppose the film will have Rajni doing wire-fu stunts, romancing with younger women and what else, blab punch dialogues.

If North Indians redicule Rajini for being Black and being Tamil SuperStar ,irrespective of who is our favourite ,we need to condemn this idiocy

Rajnikanth is Superstar, the greatest of India in terms of popularity, money etc. Not even NT can equal him, and the latest movie is gonna break all records. So why break your head over what some ignorant people on the net say?

Just for the record, however, it's the attitude of some of us (dravidian nonsense advocated by some SIs) that makes NIs behave like this.

There is no need to compare him with anyone .

U may justify that interms of popularity etc etc Shivaji Rao is bigger etc but there is no need .

Coke - the official partner for Sivaji? Look at this picture!!!

When i was passing nearby Luz Corner, Mylapore i was fascinated by a small hoarding of a cool drinks shop. The hoarding is of Coke and Superstar.

Excellent hoarding. Just all of you came for a while in my mind. And whatelse, switched off my byke and took a snap and also enquired the shop owner whether he placed this or Coke itself placed? HE replied that it was Coke's.

So, COke is official partner. I would be happy if Coke is just one among channel partners for Sivaji like Sunfeast for Chandramukhi. The major partner can be Hutch, Airtel, Reliance, Aircel or Tata itself.

Just wait for more updates. I have enquired this with some reliable sources......

Mobile treat for Rajinikanth fans

Sam Daniel

Tuesday, April 10, 2007: (Chennai):

Rajinikanth's tunes have taken mobile phone users by storm in Tamil Nadu.

While the release of his film Sivaji has now been slated for May against the earlier April plan, ring tones and true tones of all seven songs of the movie have brought some cheer to his fans.

Just within three days of its launch, close to a lakh and fifty thousand downloads have been made and the figure just keeps rising by the hour.

The superstar is invading computers as well in the form of wall papers and screen savers. This venture alone has reportedly fetched the producers a whopping Rs 50 lakh and the promoters say the best is yet to come.

"If the movie has got some punchy dialogues, won't fans be happy? We are trying to come up with something like that," said C R Venkatesh, CEO, Galatta.Com.

While there is so much of hype around Rajinikanth's Sivaji, brand Rajini is turning into a trendsetter in mobile entertainment.

And the story is nothing new. Education reforms...pfft. I suppose the film will have Rajni doing wire-fu stunts, romancing with younger women and what else, blab punch dialogues.

This father and son role and education reforms thingy has already been mentioned before....rajini doing a rich father role with revathi as his wife and the younger rajini his son...his father wished to have good education system in india but is fooled and then killed by corrupted friends/politicians who take all his money and leave his son alone. the story is rounded off by how rajini rises up against these politicians and fulfils his father wish.

And there is even a very strong rumour of rajini doing seven roles....your the first assistant director of shankar to come on the net and talk bad about your film,your boss,the music and the lead actor...

2) Cant' even remember the song, what the hell is this??

3) Vaji vaji en jeevan nee Shivaji -Excellent beat and composition, but some how the tune reminds of ARR easrlier version of some other song, it has catchy rajasthani kind of beats, Hariharan has done Ok, swarnalatha was very good

4) Sahaana - , except for our GREAT Udit ji

Dr.SPB or Hariharan would have been good rather than

Anniyan is one of the worst piece of trash that I had seen in recent years. I had fun trashing the movie in my review (see http://rakeshkumar7.tripod.com/id211.html).

If you think Anniyan is good...then, I am confident about some redeeming quality in Sivaji. It has Rajini in it. That is good enough for many of us.

Shankar is a good music video director. That's about it. The rest are just rich spicy gloss. For someone who is taking too long to make a movie, the products should have been fantastic. Alas, those who take lesser time (his own assistants) can come up with better product.

I'm betting that the film will be a big success because of two 'R's. I'm sure you are smart enough to figure that out.

Sivaji-Audio review

Director : Shankar
Producer : AVM
Music : A.R.Rahman
Cast : Rajnikanth, Shriya

By Moviebuzz

A.R Rahman and Shankar have struck gold with the Sivaji audio album. They have the right mix of peppy and innovative numbers along with the right sounds and lyrics which are sure to please the mass audience of the superstar. Straight off the bat, it is the best ever album of one of the greatest combinations in Tamil Cinema- Rajnikanth and Rahman (R &R). They have worked together in Muthu, Padayappa and Baba, but here for the first time, Shankar, the showman of Tamil cinema joins the team. The trio has come out with music that is far superior, to the earlier works of the duo.
Rahman, the maestro in private has always said that he combines best with Mani Ratnam and Shankar, because both of them are excellent visualisers . How the song comes on screen is as important for them as the composition. Shankar believes that songs are one of the most important ingredients of commercial cinema and he makes no bones about the fact that he loves to make picture perfect song and dance sequences. He has a story board for his song picturisations, including a colour scheme, detailing of costumes and the dancers including the choreography and the lighting to be used!

Right from his Gentlemandays, he struck a rapport with Rahman and always goes out of the studios to a quiet place where they take days to compose the tunes. Later they sit with the lyric writer and make suitable changes to fit in with the mood of the film. In Sivaji's case it is obvious that Rajnikanth also played a crucial role and must have contributed some inputs, which have gone a long way to make the songs energetic. Well, Shankar�s contribution will be known once the song videos are shown in the channels, which will further popularize the numbers.

##Ad## The album kicks off with Balleilakka�.. rendered by SPB, Rahanah Benny and chorus. The song (6.06) is said to be the introductory number of Rajnikanth, which makes it very important. Traditionally it is supposed to give goose-bump inducing effect to the superstar�s fans, who will throw flowers and at times money on the screen. It has to be a fast number and normally SPB sings it.

Lyric writer Na. Muthukumar starts the song with the opening line-� Sooriyano Chandirano. Yaar ivano sattena sollu� and goes on to hype the mass image of the superstar. The superstar as a champion of Tamils � � Cauvery aarum kaikuthai arisiyum marandhupoguma�( Can we forget river Cauvery and the pounded rice). The hero can transform the state into another America- � Annan vandhal Tamilnadu America agum. In the film Rajnikanth is coming back from US and is trying to change our system. In the song he also makes suggestions like Koovum cell phone-in nacharaippai anaithu, konjam silvandin ucharippai ketkom.. (switch off your nagging cell phones and listen to natures sounds). Rajni has never been spotted with a mobile in public!

On the whole, the fast number with drum beats in the background is racy and vibrant, thanks to SPB. Like Mukesh was the voice of Raj Kapoor or Mohammed Rafi was to Shammi Kapoor and Kishore Kumar was to Rajesh Khanna, SPB is to Rajnikanth- Who can say so fast Sadugudu, Sadugudu�? This number is better than R&R�s earlier Oruvan, Oruvan Muthalali� with all its drum beats, as an introductory song.

This is followed by the racy track Style.. with a guitar base, sung by Rags, Tanvi, Suresh Peters and Blaaze. The song written by Pa. Vijay wants to establish the fact that Rajni is the original styleMannan of Tamil cinema. The song is western in feel, though it breaks into chaste Tamil to characterize the superstar. Some innovative lyrics, which the purist will yell, but children will make it their anthem- Oru koodai sunlight..

The third song in the album Sahana Saral Thoovuthu � is the pick of the lot, clearly vintage .A.R Rahman has it rendered in the catchy voice of Udit Narayanan and Chinmayi. It is a beautiful melody, written by Vairamuthu with the use of Rahman and Shankar�s favourite Indian instrument the Mridangam, with the maestro himself singing the dheem thana dheem thana bit. Purists may be critical of Udit�s Tamil pronunciation, but it adds to the final mix. Chinmayi is fabulous. (Why is she not given more chances?). This number is going to be the chartbuster and also the top ring tone in the coming days.

A sad version of Sahana� sung by Vijay Yesudas and Gomathy Sree is there in the CD, only a one-line bit is there in the cassette. What make the sad version so good is the flute and the humming of Vijay. This song may give Vijay the big ticket to playback singing. Next is the all important title song Vaaji, vaaji� sung by Hariharan and Madhusree. It is comparatively a slow melody written by Vairamuthu with a rhythmic beat, that picks up as the number progresses.

The mood and the music changes drastically in the next number, by one of Rahman�s favourites Blaaze, Naresh Iyer and Raqueeb Alam with The Boss a loud rap number. This we are sure would be a sort of theme music of the film, with deft camera movement as we follow the superstar. Lyrics written by Na. Muthukumar are inane like Sachin adicha sixer, Sivaji adicha puncher daanada !! Obviously it is another song to hype the superstar�s larger than- life image.

Finally the last song in the album is Athiradee sung by the maestro and Sayanora. The grand old man of Tamil songs Vaali is playing to the galleries. Last time in Chandramukhi Vaali wrote what many people thought was the most popular number in the movie, which had many populist lines. So here he has made it even more funky with Thee, thee, jagajyothee, jagajyothee. Billa, Ranga, Baasha dhan ivan pistol pesum �, giving our superstar a macho image, to attract the youth audience. Vaali also tries rhyming �castro� with �maestro�. This will be a hot dance number in the discos. Rahman has done a R.D Burman (he is a big fan of Panchim da) style rendition, with some voice modulation.

To sum it up Sivaji is one of the best albums of A.R Rahman- Shankar combination, which is sure to be lapped up by the superstar�s fans.

Verdict- R O C K I N G !

AR Rahman off to London to record Sivaji's music
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 11, 2007
Like all Rajini's film ventures, Sivaji has also been much talked about right from the date of announcement of the film. Well, the fanfare continues. Kollywood's sources say that Sivaji's background music is being recorded at London and Paraguay to raise it to international standards.

a.r.rahman
This news is substantiated by the fact that A R Rahman has packed his bags off to London last month to oversee the arrangements made for the recording.

Meanwhile, the shooting is also not completely done with. Director Shankar, who has an eye for detail and who is keen that every frame of the movie should be talked about is shooting another song sequence at AVM Studios. Insiders say that huge pricey sets have been constructed for this purpose.

Sivaji audio � first week report � with statistics
Behindwoods Editorial team (New York, USA)

Are you one of the die hard fans of Rajinikanth or A.R.Rahman who eagerly wants to know how the audio of Sivaji is doing? Well, the verdict is out and it�s a clear thumping victory for one of the best teams of Indian Cinema history (AVM-Shankar-Rajini-Rahman).

AVM CEO Mr. S.C.Babu while talking to Behindwoods correspondent in the US, revealed that audio of Sivaji that opened up on April 2nd is seeing one of biggest sales of recent times. There was a pre-order of about 105,000 CDs and 90,000 cassettes, before the release. Repeat orders were received even by the close of the first day and many retail outlets reported stock outs. As on date, the total CD sales has notched up to about 140,000 and cassettes have touched 108,000. Orders are continuing to come in from all parts of Tamilnadu. On the overseas front, the sales of CDs in Malaysia and Singapore are reportedly setting new records.

The figures given above are specific to Tamil music. 'Sivaji - The Boss' in Telugu has been licensed to Aditya Music and have reported brisk sales in Andhra Pradesh (figures not available). As regards the overseas audio sales, Ayngaran international couldn�t be contacted for details.

On the ring tone department, two lakh ring tones have been downloaded as of yesterday. The popularity rating for ring tones of Sivaji songs are � Adiradi tops the list, followed by Vaaji and Style finishing a close third.

Ringtones and true tones of Sivaji songs have been available for just a few days now, but they have already broken some records. The numbers are expected to increase sharply when more cellular operators will be offering 'SIVAJI' downloads on their networks.

Seeing this frenzy, something that happens only for a Rajni movie, the producers are planning a real treat for all Rajni fans. Imagine anyone calling you on your mobile being greeted with �Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna mathiri� in superstar�s voice!! That�s exactly the trend that is going to hit the whole of Tamil Nadu soon.

As reported by us earlier, punch dialogues of Sivaji as caller tones; imagine the response. You won�t be able to make three calls in a row without hearing the superstar. That is brand Rajni for you!

And for the record, I didn't say its gonna bomb. It will be another hit but I don't think it will be "Anniyan" like good and all...

Anniyan is one of the worst piece of trash that I had seen in recent years. I had fun trashing the movie in my review (see http://rakeshkumar7.tripod.com/id211.html).

If you think Anniyan is good...then, I am confident about some redeeming quality in Sivaji. It has Rajini in it. That is good enough for many of us.

Shankar is a good music video director. That's about it. The rest are just rich spicy gloss. For someone who is taking too long to make a movie, the products should have been fantastic. Alas, those who take lesser time (his own assistants) can come up with better product.

I'm betting that the film will be a big success because of two 'R's. I'm sure you are smart enough to figure that out.

Groucho,

Read your Anniyan review

Great work !! Highlight was the foot note;

I was told to watch out somewhere near the end - during the so-called interogation scene between Vikram and Prakash Raj. "Unbelievable" they said of the acting. It was brief scene, where he switches between one character to another. Honestly, it looked easy. Any hack actor can pull that off. This is another one of Vikram's actor proof roles. Why can't he play an ordinary guy with great effect? Grrr....I am still pissed that they gave him the national award for last year.

Word to word my opinion. Whenever I talk about Anniyan with any one, I do mention all what u have said here. The line higlighted in blue is the question I always ask. And your last line ....soooper ! It was more irritating to see some reviews suggesting another national award for his performance in Anniyan

Sorry Rajini fans for the digression

From: Kumar on Wed Apr 11 21:18:23 2007.

Groucho, I read your review- good stuff. Although I share many of your views, I think I was more forgiving because I knew this movie was an outright masala flick. I did wonder where all that money went (obviously on the paint which they slathered across some hills and the overseas song location).

What really bothered me was the recurring vigilante theme that Shankar favours. For this reason, I was a bit squeamish with Indian. Anniyan seriously bothered me; I mean is DEATH an apt punishment for a caterer who can't prepare proper sambaar??

Shivaji will be a blockbuster- no doubt about this at all. I don't know what the story is all about, but I hope to God it's not about a vigilante who kills people for minor offences.

Rajini deserves better roles- I feel he deserves meatier roles and I hope Shanker can deliver this. Rajini looks GREAT with his get-ups; seriously, he looks 15 years younger. He's still got it. But he's too distinguished and talented for simple vigilante roles.

Does anyone know the basic storyline for Shivaji?

- Rajin's family bumped off by corrupted politicians after his father wanted to reform education in india

- How rajini rises to the occasion and fulfils his father wish is the story.

Thanks Hulkster. The seven roles thing sounds interesting- I'm still a sucker for character changes in movies. And Rajini is damn good at this (Netrikan, Billa and Thillu Mullu).

From: groucho070 on Wed Apr 11 23:35:52 2007.

Education is a good subject. I hope Shankar can go a bit deep in that. His knowledge of multiple personality disorder is about as wide as Shreya's waistline.

No matter which country, education is key to civilisation. Countries like India and Malaysia need to work on it badly. But that is another matter.

I hope they really have a strong storyline. Something that lacked in both Shankar and Rajini's movies for a long time.

Having criticised Shankar so much...I'd like to go on record that I really liked his Mudhalvan...a film Rajini should have acted in.

Gripping 'Sivaji' Car Chase !!!

The 'Sivaji' unit proudly claims that such a fantastic car chase will not be seen in another 10 years of Tamil films, it is that gripping.

Every other day, some news or other about some grand thing in 'Sivaji' makes its way into the public. "One cannot judge 'Sivaji' on the basis of the films I have done so far. I have gone much beyond that," says even Shankar about his work in 'Sivaji.'

The song "sahara pookkal" is one of the highlights of the film. The whole thing has been picturised in a glass mansion. It was a great challenge not to have images of the camera, cameraman or other technicians in the footage. KV Anand has achieved that.

For the song "vaji vaji Sivaji..." art director Thota Tharani created a mansion of many levels. It is one of the grandest sets in Indian cinema. Shankar is confident the highly skilled work on the sets could earn Thota Tharani a national award.

The most remarkable element in the film is the car chase. About 30 Tata Sumos chasing Rajini has been filmed like a foreign blockbuster. It is commendable that stunt master Peter Haines and his assistants have risked their lives for this sequence. Even more surprising is the fact that Rajini has himself acted in this without resorting to a dupe.

"In the fight scenes, Rajini will give young actors a run for their money," says Shankar in praise.

Are 30 sumos enough to film a chase like a foreign block-buster? I doubt it, Mr.Shankar. We need atleast 300!

Shankar opens up on songs of Sivaji
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 12, 2007

There is an assortment of conjectures which are doing brisk business in the media trying to outline the story of Sivaji. But director Shankar asserts that the actual film would be way ahead and beyond all conceivable imaginations. In an interview to a weekly,

he states, "People suspect that I have used graphics techniques while filming the song 'sahara pookkal poothado'. But on the contrary, we have erected sets made of glass completely. As it is, it is difficult to shoot in a set but it is even more challenging to shoot in an ambience filled with glass as there is a lot of perceivable reflection which needed to be avoided. But thankfully, the results are satisfactory."

While talking about the other song vaaji vaaji, Shankar says that a grand palace was erected to shoot this number. Even the minutest and intricate details of a palace has been taken into consideration while erecting this citadel and Shankar adds with pride that such sets have never been created in the history of Indian cinema before. He is confident that viewers will be astounded by the grandiose of the sequence.

I dont understand how a production company as famous as AVM would shell out sooo much investment if Shankar was that bad a director as some of these posts in the previous pages reflect! And I also cant understand if any new director was better than Shankar like some of the posts again, then why would all top actors want to act in a Shankar movie? And why did almost all of Shankar's movies become Superhits? Just because they had grand songs and expenses in them? Am I missing something?

Don't u know the meaning of "overhyped" out of the 60 crores 25-35 or even more would have been spent on just lavish and grand sets for songs

Story wise he is zero.Too many repeats he is paid and alot and producers spent alot for his flim is because they ran well in BO Somehow i don't know how too.I don't know why ppl still buy his movie when all are the same.

That's the point! They still click at the BO, even if there is no story (which I dont agree with), and just grandeur! If it's only story that matters, then I'm sure there are a lot of low-budget movies that have great stories! And only spending money for a movie doesnt make a hit by default! His own BOYS was a flop as well right? I think it's a combination of both...

I totally disagree with you. Probably you think its crap. Not others andpeople in TN. Otherwise his movies would not run. As Bay said earlier, BOYS is one good example.

But Boys had an awesome opening. The story was good in a sense. Less darker than Thulluvatho Illamai. ARR's music at its best.

Anniyan while good was a tribute to his earlier works, Indian and Mudhalvan. But it gets points for the historical referrences to the Bhagwad Gita. Vikram was smashing in that triple role.

Shankar does his homework well. Its the story thats unbelievable in SOME cases. It'll click because of the materical but script, lets see...

Whether you post relevant stuff or not abt the movie, I just thought this was not the place to talk abt what MODS did or what bias they have! I dont ask all hubbers that post relevant or irrelevant stuff abt the movie itself! But If you have problems in your posts being deleted, it's prolly better to deal with the mods seperately, than to gather support with anti-Rajini fans especially in this THREAD, and go after the Mods as biased! And in case you dint know, all three MODS are infact Kamal fans, so you should figure out if they're acting biased in this thread, then the magnitude of digressions and damage that would have happened here in the past for them to act that way!

And really, if your only intent in this thread is to laugh at what Shankar does or what ARR does, or how bad the movie is gonna be, then what's the point? You can always come back after the movie flops and have a festival with your fellow hubbers!

Well, at the end of the day, it really doesnt matter what I think! It's the moderators job to take care of things like this! So until that happens, you guys can continue having fun!

Why 'Sivaji' release is delayed � latest secrets unveiled!

http://www.tamilstar.com/news/publish/article_3099.shtml

Apr 13, 2007, 13:11

It's about a year since 'Sivaji' film has been making news, yet the date of its release seems to be giving a lot of confusion.

It features the superstar, a big director and producer and the fans are eagerly waiting to feast their eyes on their idol. The inauguration was simple but the budget and production value is grand beyond imagination. All this gave rise to umpteen rumours and speculation.

But the release date of 'Sivaji' seems to be an unsolved puzzle. Originally slated for a Tamil New Year release, the date was then postponed to April 17, but now even that seems uncertain.

We did a little bit of investigating why there is this unforeseen delay. It seems all the technical work is complete except for one feature called DI. This technical work will take about 20 to 30 days, so the film could be released around the 8th of next month.

Though all the rights for the film has been sold out, it looks like only the Tamilnadu rights for distribution has not been given to anyone. It is said AVM would like to personally release 'Sivaji' in the 300 theatres in Tamilnadu. This dialogue by Rajini that goes like this, "Whatever be the case, when I will come and how I will come is something even I do not know, but I will be there at the right time," seems apt for 'Sivaji.'

Rajini need not make any ounce of anybody! And I dont think it was solely the fans that made CM a hit! If that was the case, even BABA should have been one... And how does it matter if Rajini builds an estate or a Paan Beeda stall on the road? Isnt he just another actor?

Venkiraja,

Enappa romba vayitherichal pola ungalukku. I thought of not starting this, but now I have to. So in your view, CM was made a hit only by fans, that too out of sympathy! hah! Great joke!!!!

In the last several years I have not seen a movie that had made such an impact among all kinds of audience (right from 2 year old to 65 year old) than CM. Lot of people have said that, it was the story that made it. If that was true, don't you think, this movie was a 13 year old story with a successful remake recently in kannada.
If it was sure blockbuster, why did not any other hero go after it. No one other than SS could have made it such a mega hit. Anyway enough has been discussed about it.

Then, time & again I can't understand why people start about, why SS doesn't invest in the field that he is earning from. Is it a rule or must that you have to put back your money in the field that you are. How many do? (I am not talking about people who are only in the film industry). Just because a Kamal & Prakashraj is doing doesn't mean that everyone should do. They are doing because they don't know anything other than that & even doing so, they are not doing any service to the industry. They are also trying to multiply their assets doing so. So can I take that as being greedy or what? Everyone has a different perspective. They do what they like. That's it.

Another one that amuses me, is your accusation about SS showing as if he is simple. Do you think, being in show business, it is easy to be as he is. We are not talking about just a few years here. It is more than 20 years that we are watching this guy & he has been the same thru' out. Ippidi ellathukkum nolla sonna epdi.

I can clearly see you being very uncomfortable to see news about sivaji (+ songs being listened in every nook & corner of TN) everywhere. All I can tell you is, just have a couple of glass of water & refrain from reading anything (so that you don't cross any news about sivaji), listening anything (so that you don't have to hear sivaji's songs somewhere) for the next few months.
Unless you are lucky (if the movie fails) you are going to have one hell of a time for the next several months. Just Chill out!!!!!!!

Interview does not look very promising...The movie seems to be built on rajini's image..i hope i am proven wrong Not Worthy

What does built on rajini's image mean exactly? Confused

Something like Padaiappa? A movie made for Rajini and Rajini only?

If so, then we have no problem. Confirmed Blockbuster. Thumbs Up!

Surya, that interview gave me a feeling that Shankar has included all of Rajini's usual stuff into his usual stuff, to make a good combination! Does that make sense? Razz

Apparom enna pa doubt???

Confirmed Blockbuster....MEGA BLOCKBUSTER (Like Padaiappa) aana kooda aacharyam illai!

Some facts about Sivaji
Kollywoodtoday [ April 15, 2007 ]
Tamil-> News

Some facts about Sivaji

Rajni feel insecure about the latest happenings, in the Sivaji party. According to reliable sources Rajni trusted Assan(Guru) Sachdanandham Baba was pleased to see his film Baba, before the film Baba release Sachdanandham Baba passed away due to cardiac arrest, so Rajni was pretty upset and subsequently the film went to black box soon after release.

Now, the worrying factor is, the person who died in Sivaji get-together function, name also Sachdanandham. So Rajni is pretty confused about the situation and he feel the time is not suitable for the film;s release. At the same time Rajni Shaved his mustache claiming that he has finished his part in Sivaji, director Shankar is working with Post-production work and it may also finish soon.

Ballelaka, Athiradee, and Vaada Vaada songs will get the maximum response in theatres, cos they're more Rajini-centric! Sahaana, Vaaji, and Style are more on the lighter (romantic duets) side I think...

The interview was really very encouraging I thought... It sounded like the movie will be a Shankar movie typically, but it seems like he's also done his best in incorporating Rajini's usual stuff into the script... So it will be a movie with a strong plot, and all of Thalaiver's fun stuff!
From: m_23_bayarea on Mon Apr 16 12:04:00 2007. [Full View]

He also mentioned the first half will have both a lighter side (with comedy and fun) and the main story moving alongside, and the second half will be "Athiradee"!

The plot itself is abt how a guy that comes in (from America I guess) wants to do something good to the economy, and how he handles all the oppositions without giving up! When asked abt the theme, he said it will make an impact on the ECONOMY of our country if the message is taken by the audience... And he said, just like all his other movies, this movie will have a LARGER-THAN-LIFE character for the hero!

If that's the case, it would be really really nice I think! Rajini will add his own dimension to it!

Shankar also acknowledged that any of his previous movies (except JEANS, KAADHALAN, and BOYS) could fit it either Rajini or Kamal as all those Larger-than-life characters! That truly made sense....

in sivaaji, when shankar is busy doing the best of its kind vuisuals and commercial content, with Arr 's music and Rajni's new perf, sujatha is meant to provide some serious stuff which may form the perfect backbone of sivaaji

in dasa, he may help kamal on various fronts but assured ones shud be about the vaishnavite role and the space scientist.who else can help kamal for those kind of roles....sujatha is an expert in both the stuff

3)as he scripts a rajni movie, dont hink he will be very positive with sivaaji. he is a factual and logical person wh will thnk in all angels, and thatswhy i guessed the negative response...

his scare was indirect, appadinnu oru guess panninen, thats all. and that too becos of the order of his dialogs...

1) he says abt the 1000 rs discount

2) he says thigaikka vaikkirathu

3) he says abt the worship on CDs cassettes

4) but no comments on 3rd item, he just says them. but we can logically apply the thigaikkavaikkirathu to 3rd item too. ithai sonna sujatha,

New Straits Times wrote:

Much-anticipated Tamil movie Sivaji: The Boss, reputed to be the most expensive film made in India, will be screened in digital format across Malaysia.

PYRAMID Saimira Theatre Chain (M) Sdn Bhd, which has more than 42 cinemas in Malaysia, is spending RM10 million to digitalise them � all before the middle of next month.

Its haste is understandable as the company has bought the rights of the eagerly awaited Tamil movie Sivaji: The Boss, starring southern India�s "superstar" Rajnikanth and wants to release the movie in digital format simultaneously in all its cinemas in Malaysia.

The RM50 million movie, said to be the costliest in India, is expected to be another milestone in the careers of Rajnikanth and director S. Shankar (who has delivered eight back-to-back blockbusters which have received critical acclaim).

The film was supposed to have had a grand opening in conjunction with the Tamil New Year last Saturday but it has been delayed for post-production work by Shankar who is known to be a perfectionist.

The movie, with lead actress Shriya and music composed by A.R. Rahman, is about how Rajnikanth fights to open a university providing affordable education in India. Others in the movie, also being released in Telugu, are Vivek, Suman, Manivannan and Revathi.

Rajnikanth�s last movie, Chandramukhi (released in 2005) was directed by P. Vasu and was a runaway success grossing RM160 million worldwide.

P. S. Saminathan, managing director of Pyramid Saimira Theatre India and director of the Malaysian company, declined to reveal how much they had paid for the movie�s rights but said it was "costliest Indian film ever" to be shown in Malaysia. He expected it to gross as much as a Hollywood movie in the local circuit.

"By releasing it in digital format, we can have 30 to 40 per cent cost savings as each print of a movie usually costs RM5,000. We can open big in more theatres simultaneously, even in rural areas.

"Since the film is in digital format, it is encrypted and we can beat the pirates as it can�t be copied in theatres. This will encourage people to watch the movie in cinemas."

The company has 350 theatres in India, 150 of which can show movies in both digital and reel format.

Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd (India) chairman V. Natrajan announced that its Malaysian entity would be producing Malay movie ........

Looks like Sivaji is already breaking records in Malaysia, even before getting screened.

Shriya goes ga-ga on `Sivaji` audio

Shriya Saran cannot stopping talking about the songs in Sivaji. Says Shriya, who was shooting a song with Vijay in Karaikudi for Azhagiya Tamil Magan (ATM) : "I'm a big Rahman fan and when I heard the Sivaji songs for the first time at the shoot I just went crazy about them. Believe me, the way Shankar Sir has shot the songs, along with Rajni Sir's dance movements, they are sure to be rocking."

Shriya says that one of the high points of her career will be that she danced with the superstar to the tune of A.R Rahman whom she calls "the Mozart of Indian film music". She features in five out of the six songs in the film. Says Shriya: "I'm there in all the songs, except Ballelika…., the introductory song."

When asked about her favourite song in the album, Shriya says: "I like all the songs and the way they are picturised. I'm sure that the songs will become bigger once the film releases and the channels popularize them. If you were to ask me my favourite song it is Vaaji, Vaaji, , the title song." Shriya refused to talk further on the songs, as she feels the film and its presentation will talk for itself.

Ever since the shoot, she has been humming the Sivaji songs. Now that the album is out, she has all the songs on her ipod, and hears it during her breaks.

Rajini performs special Pooja for Shivaji

Here is the latest news related to Shivaji. Rajini and Shankar have performed special poojas and holy yagam at his Poes Garden house to protect his film Shivaji from the evil forces.

Rajini feels insecure after the latest happenings at the Shivaji party hosted recently. It was at the time of Baba's release that Rajini's guru Sachidhananda Maharaaj Baba died. Actually Rajini had thought that Guru Baba will be pleased to see his film Baba. But before the film's release, Sachidhananda Baba passed away due to cardiac arrest, so Rajni was pretty upset, and subsequently the film went back to the black box soon after its release. Now the worrying factor is, the person who died at the Shivaji get-together function also had the name Sachidhananda. So Rajini is pretty confused about the situation and he feels that the time is not suitable for the film's release.

To avoid any further unwanted things to happen before the release of Shivaji, Rajini has performed these poojas in his house. Sources say that the director of the film, Shankar, also attended this pooja. At the same time, Rajni has shaved off his mustache, claiming that he has finished his part in Shivaji. The director, Shankar, is busy with its post-production work and it may also get finished soon.

Talk to the Boss

Rajnikanth plays a mean tune in Sivaji: The Boss.

Much-anticipated Tamil movie Sivaji: The Boss, reputed to be the most expensive film made in India, will be screened in digital format across Malaysia.

PYRAMID Saimira Theatre Chain (M) Sdn Bhd, which has more than 42 cinemas in Malaysia, is spending RM10 million to digitalise them — all before the middle of next month.

Its haste is understandable as the company has bought the rights of the eagerly awaited Tamil movie Sivaji: The Boss, starring southern India's "superstar" Rajnikanth and wants to release the movie in digital format simultaneously in all its cinemas in Malaysia.

Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd (India) chairman V. Natrajan announced that its Malaysian entity would be producing Malay movie Berikan Hatimu, starring Saiful Apek, Fasha Sandha and Yassin. The romantic comedy will be directed by Associate Professor A. Razak Mohaideen. Work will begin in June and the film is expected to hit the screens in digital format by September.

The company intends to to produce six movies a year at a cost of RM175,000 each.

Natrajan said they also planned to make a Tamil movie in Malaysia in June. The hero will be from India while the rest of the cast and crew will be from Malaysia. It will also be shown in India.

Pyramid Saimira Theatre Chain chairman Vell Pari said the company was in talks to produce and distribute Chinese movies too. He expected the company's first Chinese movie to be screened in December.

Sivaji will certainly rock the screens
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, April 18, 2007]

With just a few days left for Rajinikanth's Sivaji (tentatively planned for 17 May), the hype and expectations are touching all-time high for the movie.

Director Shankar is confident that Sivaji would be a movie to cherish in Indian film industry. One of the costliest movies to have been made in Indian screen, Sivaji has brought together the likes of AVM, Rajinikanth, Shankar and A R Rahman.

According to Shankar, �It is a movie that would certainly satisfy Rajini-fans. A typical Rajinikanth film, the movie would be a treat for them�.

�The highlight of the movie is that for the first time, we have shot a song sequence (Shana) in huge sets put up on glass. It was a challenging task to shoot the song since the lights would be reflected on the glass. All credit to cinematographer K V Anand for achieving the impossible.�

In a nutshell, the movie is about a man, who wants to do good for the society. The hurdles that he comes across in accomplishing his mission. But is inter spread with gaiety, grandeur and splendor.

Be it for the production house, the distributors or the exhibitors, everyone is celebrating and of course the viewers have a ball. Just so that you have enough proof of the prowess of a Rajni film at the box office we bring you this news.

Pyramid Saimira theaters expects to gross close to 1.5 billion rupees in revenue in three months this summer and one need not say where the chunk of the money will come from. They are said to have partial holding of theatrical rights in South India and distribution rights for Malaysia. From this one can easily imagine the sort of business they expect Sivaji to do. Buoyed by the possibility of huge revenues Pyramid Saimira Theaters has taken a decision to invest 140 million Rs in Pyramid Saimira Productions; that's quite some money to work with. Now, the clincher. The shares of Pyramid Saimira Theaters which were valued at Rs.100 per share are currently priced at Rs.158.

When success comes, it inspires people to do better things. Pyramid Saimira which was already into home video with Moser Baer has taken a decision to expand operations and also try and release original CDs and DVDs of movies around four months after the theatrical release. That's good news.

Top 10 summer songs:

#1

Album: Sivaji

Song: Balleilakha

Music director: A R Rahman

Singer(s): S P Balasubramanyam, Benny, Rehana

SPB rocks! You just can�t believe that SPB is a man of his age; where does all that energy, that zing come from. Does singing for the Superstar turn on some kind of switch, it surely must. This song is going to hit theaters like a hurricane. There is no stopping the combination of Rajni-SPB and Rahman. This time you have Shankar thrown in for good measure. You have to hear it, see it.....to believe it.

Chennai, April 18 A.R. Rahman's album for 'Sivaji', composed with Rajnikant fans in mind, has achieved its purpose. The superstar's fans are going crazy over the songs and it is doing great business. The top five Tamil albums are:

1. 'Sivaji' - Music Director: A.R. Rahman. The song 'Balleilaka' sung by S.P. Balasubramaniam, Rehanah Benny and the chorus is the favourite among Rajnikant fans now.

2. 'Mozhi' - Music Director: Vidyasagar. The album's appeal continues. It can be described as Vidyasagar's best album ever. The two versions of 'Kaatrin mozhiye', rendered beautifully by Sujatha and Balram, are the best among the lot.

3. 'Unnale Unnale' - Music Director: Harris Jayaraj. 'June ponna', sung by Krish and Arun, is rocking the young crowd.

4. 'Chennai 600028' - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. Yuvan has created this album mainly for the youth. The film's release is getting postponed, therefore other albums have overtaken it. But the songs are sure to catch up once the film opens in the theatres.

5. 'Mayakkannadi' - Music Director: Ilayaraja: The toast of the album is 'Konjam konjam' by Karthik and Shreya.

Music wizard A.R. Rahmam casts his magic spell again with the Telugu version of 'Sivaji'. It tops the list this fortnight.

The top five Telugu albums are:

1. 'Sivaji' - The songs 'Style' and 'Sahara' represent the versatility of the renowned composer.

2. 'Munna' - Hit composer Harris Jayaraj has delivered another peppy album to enchant Telugu music lovers yet again. 'Baaga baga' and 'Chamukuro' are particularly catchy.

3. 'Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule' - Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja teams up with actor Venkatesh for the first time and has done a good job. 'O baby' and 'Manasa manichamma' stand out.

4. 'Classmates' - Director Vijayabhaskar and composer Koti, who churned out hits like 'Malliswari', joined hands once again for the film. 'Gundechatuga' and 'Mounamenduku' are already hit numbers.

5. 'Bharani' - Yuvan Shankar Raja's Tamil hit has been received well in Telugu. 'Simhadri appanna' and 'Sayya sayya' are commendable.

TN crazy about Sivaji

The entire state of Tamil Nadu has been going crazy following the audio release of the Rajnikant-starrer Sivaji. Many were seen copying the hairstyle of the superstar after some pictures of the film was out while others spent their own money on CDs and cassettes and were generous enough to allow others to borrow them without any charge. Then there were some who sold the CDs in the black market for Rs.250. Nearly 80,000 CDs were sold out on the second day of the audio release, and there was a request for another one lakh CDs to meet the increasing demand. According to a source at the AVM, its audio distribution wing had supplied nearly five lakhs audio CDs and cassettes all over South India with an amazing response in Mumbai as well. More than 38000 CDs were sold in Kerala alone. It is for the very first time that an audio in a different language has sold in the state in such a huge number.
Incidentaly, there were reports of long queues outside shops waiting to purchase the audio of Sivaji. One man came with a mini CD player, listened to the songs outside the shop itself and even distributed sweets all around.

Meanwhile the digital versions of the seven songs of Sivaji are now available on more than 124 websites on the internet. They were supposedly leaked a few days before the formal audio launch.

In any case, Rajnikant has brought in a fresh lease of life to the audio market with his Sivaji making him the real superstar in the country!

Shankar is another KB: Rajini
IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 23, 2007]

Rajinikanth has a great regard for his mentor K Balachander. Introduced by K Balachander in Aboorva Ragangal, Rajinikanth has come a long way in his career spanning over three decades to establish himself as a Super star.

With bated breath, the Super star is awaiting the release of his mega movie Sivaji, getting ready for release.

Speaking on the movie, Rajinikanth, says, �With big names like Shankar, Rahman and AVM coming together, expectations have increased considerably. I am confident that Sivaji will live up to all hype�.

On working with Shankar, he says, '�After Balachander, I regard Shankar as a director to reckon with in the industry. He thinks big and executes them big on screen. His concern for the society and the issue affecting the life of common man worth a mention�.

On rumors that Sivaji would be his last film, Rajinikanth says, �It is not in my hands. If the almighty wants me to do more, then I would�.

Well said sakaLAKALAKAlaa .. yes agree completely with you.

Thimuru sir.. unga.. peruliya oru thimuru errukku

so we can't expect a rational remark from you anyways..

As per me Shankar is more of Hollywoodish kind of director. An Indian version of Steven Spielberg,Sam Raimi,Bryan Singer The reason he stands out among the rest of the crowd is..

He is good at belinding issues or subject with Superheros touch. (like Spiderman ,Superman, Indiana Jones,and others) Shankar tries to create our own Indian version of superheros.. who tries to tackle our day to day issues(pertaining to Indian society) with their own styles.. This is really a unqiue thing, for the Indian standards.. where people purely associates hero with a person , than a superhero

Always people harp about.. Subject oriented movies and other bull carp.. How many people really go to theatres to see these subject oriented(Art) movies.. not even 1% of total moviegoers.. (ofcourse they will be given some National honours)apart form these. nothing otherwise. I am not saying there all bad movies.its a just a differen league all together.

Shankar Director's Movies which are enjoyed by majority of the moviegoers (MASS movies which includes you and I , there is none above MASS)

THE ONLY SIMILARITY BETWEEN KB AND SHANKAR , both always thought ahead of their times.. both streched the word probablity to a different limits

. We need more directors like Shankar to Challenge..and win the global audiances. If he continues this trend with some good stories.. he will make it to OSCARS eventually..

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANI AND SHANKAR is

Mani tries to glorify the exisiting subject..

Shankar tires to visualise impossible subject close to reality.

Otherwise all 3 of them are exceptionally gifted. Talented Directors of our time.

Thalivar Working with Shankar is more like a , A living Legend working with a young talent.. who is at his peak. This is bound to happen. He wanted Rajini in movies for long time now.. Its like having a readymade Superhero(who has is own style)

for a Superhero storyline..

Release Date is something , a pure lack of Displine from the production than anything else..When they are doing such a prestigous project . they should keep the public informed about basic information.. No one is stopping them from keeping it low-key profile.. all we need is just pure information. No one is expecting them to do a grand function at Nehru Stadium to annonunce the release date.

Thimuru sir..

I compared Shankar with all the Hollywood directors..who directed Superhero subject.. period.

Shankar to Oscar.. Well I have belief in him.. he is a good director.. Its just a dream..

Oscar Raivanchar was good joke he he...!! This joke applies another person too.. About whom people claim.. something like... lotz of his movies have been to Oscar.. as if it went to some Meen Market in chennai

Shankar Though ahead of his times.. Before.. Indian cineman when in to mode of Superheors.. like Krish in Hindi to give you an example..

I only hope you will not ask me.. How termed KB thought ahead of his time .

Gentleman was a copy of the "person's whose movies are going to oscar" KAMAL HASSAN's GURU he owes his future to ARR for making a dumb story like kaadhalan a hit n Kamal's director of GURU for GENTLEMAN

He tried hard like kaadhalan with boys trying to recreate that ARR magic to succeed at box office but unfortunately flopped

PS : This doesnt mean i am trying to downplay Sivaji Sivaji is a mega project of Rajini highest budget in his career so no doubts but hyping shankar to spielberg level just because he is directing rajini , by rajini fans is + + to me

No hard feelings

* Shankar is more of Hollywoodish kind of director.

* He is good at belinding issues or subject with Superheros touch.

* How many people really go to theatres to see these subject oriented(Art) movies..

* Shankar Director's Movies which are enjoyed by majority of the moviegoers

* THE ONLY SIMILARITY BETWEEN KB AND SHANKAR , both always thought ahead of their times..

* THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANI AND SHANKAR is, Mani tries to glorify the exisiting subject..Shankar tires to visualise impossible subject close to reality.

* Otherwise all 3 of them are exceptionally gifted. Talented Directors of our time.

* Thalivar Working with Shankar is more like a , A living Legend working with a young talent..

* Release Date is something , a pure lack of Displine from the production than anything else

What an awesome post! Couldnt agree more with you on all your points!

From: groucho070 on Tue Apr 24 0:20:10 2007. [Full View]

Nemesis bro, if we were to talk about originality than we have to dig up a lots of stuff and it will hurt Kamal fans too. And me being Kamal fan as well, I rather not talk about it until provoked.

Gentlemen owes it to Guru. It improves on Guru. Indian which tried to improve NT/Kamal effort Nam Pirandha Man (try watching old movies some times), but both ended up mediocre.

Shankar, as I mentioned earlier, is a good music video director. He is not like Spielberg, please. He is like Michael Bay or Simon West, who produced big blockbusters (one or two damp squib as well) for Bruckheimer production.

I usually get scared when he attempts technology. The makeup on Indian Tata is horrifying, completely covering one of the most expressive faces in Tamil film industry. And the old Suganya in that movie looked like she belonged to a Star Trek film (for which Westmore worked for I believe). The multi-camera technique in Boys is a shoddy work.

When I saw some of the Sivaji clips, it basically confirmed something. There is not going to be any superb story telling or great script. This film is a celebration of one of the most popular actor ever to grace Tamil film industry. It's a fan film.

I liked CM only for Rajini and Vadiveloo. I have given up hope that he will go back to his roots and do performance oriented films. We can sit down and enjoy his presence on screen. That's all. Anything extra that Shankar, as a fan, gives, is an extra.

And Shankar don't need special effects for this film....he already has something special, Rajini.

thimiru, as a director, i dont think he contributed even a bit of new dimension to tamil ciema, but on tech end, its shankar who popularised the conputer graphics in movies......whatever kamal did on aboorva sagotharargal is not even remembered by ppl today......but chikku bukku graphics was damn hit. His asssociation with sujatha is a very clever attempt. thats like outsourcing works in his weakness area to the specialist....

digg.....eventho kamal was ahead in technology and other things, he dint approach all things in a humuour sense. for ex, shankar's thought of using graphics in a funny way, throughout a song, didnt strike to kamal. the bit-loose gandhigiri tought also didnt come to his mind...hesaw graphics, gandhi, computersangd all, too seriously. his comical areas were too different

Using computer graphic in Gentlemen is not ahead of time. It's keeping with time.

Kuruthi Punal is ahead of its time. Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu is ahead of its time. They are serious story telling of a flawed hero, at the time when heroism rules (still does). They dared to not to have song sequences with gazillion dancers in the background doing movements in unison.

Plus, as I said, whatever technology Shankar handles, they are badly handled.

No groucho, using graphics is onething, popularising them is another. Kamal used in aboorva but it was re-used only in Gentleman, i think. in btw aboorva sago and Gentleman i dont think any visual spl effects were used. eventho the directors, incl kamal, would have been seeing the Cgra effects in hollywood, it was not used in that gap

Also in TN, still tech takes long time to reach. almost 10+years after vikram (where computers were shown\part of the script for the 1st time in tamil cinema) Ullathai Allithaa had a silly joke on computers and our ppl laughed at it too.....

KP., KKK, Pushpak ect all were diferent types of "times-ahead" leagues were shankar or any other direc didnt foray into....

Dare To Challenge Rajini? Suman takes on Rajinikanth in Sivaji.

TS Sudhir

Wednesday, April 25, 2007: (Hyderabad):

Diehard fans of Rajinikanth would say that no one can take him on.

But that's not entirely correct, as actor Suman is doing just that in director Shankar's much-awaited film Sivaji.

Suman has acted in nearly 300 films, most of them in Telugu.

"He wanted someone with a screen image, perhaps that of a hero. He wanted someone with a soft face, who does not look villainish. A classy face. The main thing was the performance because this person has to perform opposite Rajinikanth," said Suman, Actor.

Playing the bad guy is a 180-degree about-turn for Suman whose beatific smile made his several mythological roles a hit with the audience.

Suman admits he was nervous considering Rajini's fans are not known to appreciate their demi-god being abused or bashed up on screen.

"It was Rajinikanth who encouraged me. I was a little hesitant. But Rajini told me not to feel embarrassed and gave me a lot of support. There are scenes where his fans are going to feel bad," said Suman, Actor.

Interestingly, 20-years-ago Rajini and Suman had acted as brothers in Thee, in which Suman played an upright police officer and Rajini the elder brother gone astray.

Rajini reaches the top
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, April 26, 2007]

Rajinikanth is off to Himalayas on Thursday.

A known spiritualist, Rajinikanth cools off in the foothills of Himalayas for a brief period every year. He would call on revered Swamijis in the Himalayas every year.

Having completed the dubbing works for is much expected Sivaji, Rajinikanth chose to leave for Himalayas on Thursday.

Directed by Shankar, Rajinikanth's Sivaji is fast nearing completion. The re-recording works are on at full pace to ensure that it hits the screens on 17 May.

Rajinikanth will spend his next couple of weeks in Himalayas before returning to Chennai for the release of Sivaji.

Now the release date is 90% confirmed

Another one:

Super star on his pilgrimage sojourn
By Behindwoods News Bureau.

Movie buffs are aware that super star Rajinikanth is a devout believer in God and makes trips to Himalayan Mountains quite frequently. Now that his upcoming film Sivaji is ready for release, he is commencing his pilgrimage tour today and would be back in Chennai just before the release of the film.

It is a customary practice of the star to undertake such trips every year to the vast expanse of the Himalayas where he is said to be at peace with himself. On his trip, he will be visiting many temples and will be offering his prayers. In most of these places, Rajini will not use any means of transport but walk only on feet. Extended hours of meditation and enjoyment of the scenic beauty will certainly form part of his itinerary. It is said that super star would be traveling to Badrinath, Kedarnath, Rishikesh and other spiritual destinations and would be back in town on the 16th of May.

Dilbert bro: Please go ahead

One hundred and counting

The much-awaited `Sivaji,' also happens to be Rajinikanth's 100th Tamil film.

Rajini fans, who cannot wait for the release of `Sivaji,' have one more reason to celebrate. It is the superstar's 100th Tamil film, a fact he was not aware of and was pleasantly surprised when told at a function he attended recently at the AVM Studios. The credit for ferreting out this vital piece of information goes to the inimitable Film News Anandan, who came up with more details about Rajini's career. Rajinikanth has acted in 173 films of which 99 are Tamil. Telugu films account for 16, Kannada 11, Malayalam 2, Hindi 24 and one each in Bengali and English (Blood Stone). Besides he has made guest appearances in 19.

After the puja ceremony was completed marking the launch of Ananda Film Circuit's maiden venture `Billa,' Rajini headed for the office of AVM Saravanan, who is producing `Sivaji' along with M.S.Guhan. There he posed with all the 250 employees of the studio for a photograph. Director Sp. Muthuraman (joint producer for `Sivaji') was also present on the occasion.

Mr. Saravanan was all praise for Rajinikanth. "I haven't come across a hero more well-behaved," he said. "The fame has not gone to his head. Declining to use an air-conditioned caravan, he retires to his room after the day's work and relaxes. All he needs is a decent bed to sleep on and a place to do yoga and meditation," he continued. "And what is more, apart from the advance of Rs.1001, he has not taken any money as payment. `That can wait. Let's first finish work,' was all he said," Saravanan concluded.

The affinity that the super star has for AVM, which is celebrating its diamond jubilee, is easy to understand. `Murattukalai' (1980) was the beginning of what has proved to be a long and fruitful association � `Pokkiri Raja' (1982), `Paayum Puli' (1983), `Nallavanukku Nallavan' (1984), `Mr. Bharath' (1986), `Manidhan' (1987), `Raja Chinna Roja' (1989) and `Yejaman' (1993). `Sivaji' is the ninth.

cant wait for this Hype !!!

From: Dilbert on Thu Apr 26 17:56:19 2007.

[quote="Dilbert"]

Nemesis bro, if we were to talk about originality than we have to dig up a lots of stuff and it will hurt Kamal fans too. And me being Kamal fan as well, I rather not talk about it until provoked.

Ans : Good point.. !!

Gentlemen owes it to Guru. It improves on Guru. Indian which tried to improve NT/Kamal effort Nam Pirandha Man (try watching old movies some times), but both ended up mediocre.

Ans : The problem with people is they always try to find faults in oneway or the other.. !! When you guys harping so much of Shankar copying something.. Even the greats like Geroge Lucus got his inspirations for Star wars from Chinese Movies.. .. Why someone has to be so critical about a person.

Shankar, as I mentioned earlier, is a good music video director. He is not like Spielberg, please. He is like Michael Bay or Simon West, who produced big blockbusters (one or two damp squib as well) for Bruckheimer production.

Ans : Good Video Director.. you must be kidding man.. !! touch you heart and tell me.. for indian standards.. how many directors have done what he has done / doing its nothing short of trendsitting...? You are comparing him to Michel bay.. Give him the kind of money what he is offered for hollywood movie and than see the magic on the screen... being in Indian director.. he is trying to think global..and deliver something different.. !! Problem with people is the want same old arundu.. poona record.. nothing new.... But keep asking for something new...

I usually get scared when he attempts technology. The makeup on Indian Tata is horrifying, completely covering one of the most expressive faces in Tamil film industry. And the old Suganya in that movie looked like she belonged to a Star Trek film (for which Westmore worked for I believe). The multi-camera technique in Boys is a shoddy work.

Ans : Inda question..umm kunchma..sekalanna question that.. irrundalum.. mudenja avalo answer panureen.

1) Multi Camera Technique.. become shoddy work.. or whatever bcoz you are an expert in this technique.. you have seen it..like about 10000 times in Indian cinema rite....? Peasunam neanacha.. vae thane.. enna venanalum.. peasalam..

2) India Tata.. Kamal fans are best judge for this comment.. Bcoz In his next movie I think he is having 10 different makeup.. so as per him.. he can't show is expression on the screen.. Bcoz he couldn't do it Indian.. pl Call KSR and tell him about this its urgent.. !!

When I saw some of the Sivaji clips, it basically confirmed something. There is not going to be any superb story telling or great script. This film is a celebration of one of the most popular actor ever to grace Tamil film industry. It's a fan film.

Ans : Superb Story telling ..enna yappdi. Titanic pola irunda.. okva.. !! ella .. Superman..madree.....or great script in ... forest gumpoo.. ella.. Cast away.. madree... Will you go to theatre.. to see this kind of movies... As if this is the first movie..where he has done movie for his fans.. Why Fans.. are not human being.. ??

I liked CM only for Rajini and Vadiveloo. I have given up hope that he will go back to his roots and do performance oriented films. We can sit down and enjoy his presence on screen. That's all. Anything extra that Shankar, as a fan, gives, is an extra.

Ans : Theerutu.. VCDla patha..very rajni -vadivel comedy mattum da.. theriyum. or may be you are still see the trailer.- comdey version

And Shankar don't need special effects for this film....he already has something special, Rajini.

Ans : Sare sare This sounded to me like coverup for whatever you have written on this post ROTFL

Dilbert Bro...I think you have victim to what is known as selective thinking.

If you had not jumped many posts, you'd understand why I wrote the above. I always try to make myself clear, and yet my posts are often misunderstood. So let me simplify that post of mine.

Para 1: Introduction, saying that there is no such thing as original in story telling.

Para 2: Example of inspiration/adaptation,
Para 3: Shankar's best skill. Digression made to comparison with Spielberg, who is a pioneer, creative genius, and belongs to the flock that include Scorcese, De Palma, Coppola, Millius, and others from the 70s. (note: I said good music video director, not good video director. Read carefully)
Para 4. Technology and makeup. If you can't give 100% with all that budget, don't do it. He is thinking big, so do it big. I am a Kamal fan. His makeup in nayagan is million times better than the face cake he puts in Indian.

Para 5. Your example of movies shows how much you know about story telling. In Tamil movie context, I am talking abour Rajini's own Mullum Malarum, or later, Thalabathi or Annamalai. Oh, Dilbert, I tell you the same as I tell the others, try watching old movies, Tamil and others.

Para 6: I saw on big screen 3 times. Always for Rajini and Vadiveloo. Do not share your experience with pirated VCD with others. It's too hurting.

Para 7. I know I mean it. You don't have to know.

Otherwise, it was fun debating with you Dilbert. You write very smart, witty, shrewd, funny post.

Guys I am a die hard fan of Thalivar (RAJINI THE EVERGREEN SUPERSTAR) .. No doubt about it.. !! But I man not a kamal hater either.. as many of you think..

I still can't agree on your point for Indian TATA .. as per me that makeup suited a 70 year old man getup and he did a good job too expressions.. I beg to differ ..he did a terffic job... !!
you are comparing a godfather adaptation where(nayagan) Mani specifically asked him to perform Marlon Brando mannersim in Indian style.. which is delivered more than successfully..(Kamal himself said this in an interveiw to TOI) To Indian.. which is completely. out of the box thinking....

`Sivaji' release may be delayed

AVM Studios is hoping to release Rajinikanth's `Sivaji' by May 17, but it doesn't seem likely, sources in the production company said.

Though the sum of the two digits of the tentative date 17 is said to be lucky for film director Shankar, the graphics and re-recording for the film are still in progress.

These should be completed by May 11, the source said. There will be 400 Tamil prints and 300 Telugu prints. As the rate of production is 40 prints per day, it should take another 10 days after May 11 for the prints to be ready.

Waiting for Sivaji in the US

Friday April 27 2007 16:16 IST

Rajni has no boundaries. Not only in India but even in far away US.

If his diehard fans in Tamil Nadu go crazy on his opening show, his US fans step out of Mercs and Chevys, and aren't bothered to wait at least two hours in the line-up to the ticket counters at movie theatres.

�We want the best possible seats in the theatre and not the ones in the front row,� said one of them in an e-mail interview to this website's newspaper reporter.

With Rajni's Sivaji scheduled for release in May, Tamils in US are gearing up for D-Day. Neither have the producers of the film, AVM, announced the film's release nor is there any clear information on the number of prints being sent to US markets. But that has not stopped a good number of Rajni fans in Los Angeles and New York from already hunting for a Sivaji T-shirt to wear on opening day.

And the cinemas in these places are also witness to Tamil Nadu-like opening show frenzy. Whistles, paper streamers, rockets litter movie theatres, fans shout their head off with screams of Thalaiva (leader) when Rajni appears on the screen.

Familiar scenes. Only, these people do it with a distinct American accent.

Rajaram Swaminathan, a software professional in Minneapolis says that Rajni films alone knit NRIs together. �Part of the fun is in going out together, with �not just friends, but also our kids who are pretty much into local stuff.�

Chicago-based Ram Thiruvengadam is not a movie buff but he sure made it to the theatre for the mega blockbuster Chandramukhi and plans to catch the Sivaji action too.

Senthil a financial analyst �re-visits� a Rajni film. �The first trip is to soak up the atmo. The second to catch up on the movie,� he adds. �We may be far away, but a Rajni film is part of an event in everybody's life here,� says New Jersey based Dr Harini.

Charisma truly knows no boundaries

Rajini's Sivaji creating terror

Updated: 04-25-2007 Email this Page

The much awaited Rajinikanth�s movie �Sivaji� is creating panic and fear in the film circle.

Many Tamil filmmakers are either postponing or scheduling their projects in view of the huge release of �Sivaji�. However with the movie release being postponed every day, it seems to create further tension to other filmmakers who are eager to release their own projects.

However no one seems to be in a mood to risk releasing their movies against �Sivaji�. Its not just the small filmmakers but even bigger movie productions are of the same opinion. In fact, top star Vikram�s movie �Bheema� is also in the same situation. Its director Lingaswamy does not want to release it ahead of Sivaji and prefers to wait. �Why want to compete with Sivaji?� he quips.

Guys, after very insulting comment on sivaji audio, i refrained myself from posting here everafter. But now I am really worried and so i am forcing myself to post here. A thought just struck my mind. What if Sivaji doesnt do as we expect? I am sorry I am saying this, but its a possibility. What will happen to the image of everyone involved? A movie that kept everyone waiting for years and the most expected movie ever. What if it is not successful? Can someone please say something so that this scary thought goes away from my head??

Also, I heard that they would be releasing "The Making of SivaJI" before the release of the movie ....any information on this.....
Guys the wait it going to be WORTH it....just like all of other SS movies....

SUPER STARU !!!!!!!! ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Guys, after very insulting comment on sivaji audio, i refrained myself from posting here everafter. But now I am really worried and so i am forcing myself to post here. A thought just struck my mind. What if Sivaji doesnt do as we expect? I am sorry I am saying this, but its a possibility. What will happen to the image of everyone involved? A movie that kept everyone waiting for years and the most expected movie ever. What if it is not successful? Can someone please say something so that this scary thought goes away from my head?? Embarassed

Im seeing this type of comments from arr fans...look....arr will not be pointed towards its output!

everybody will praise or blame rajni and shankar only!a music director would be least bothered

Just because I listen to Rahman songs, does that mean i am a fan of only his?? True when it comes to music my favourite is Rahman. But I never said Rahman is my favourite actor and director also. What a dumb interpretation! My favourite actor is SS and my favourite director Shankar. I am a fan of all three, so if the movie flops I would be bothered 3 times as more than someone who is a fan of only one of these legends.

Thimuru sir.. ungalaku.. Thineshan.. madre.. post panranvanga.. kedacha.. Halwa sapudra madreee.. illya ?..

you know deeepp deepp down your heart.. in some corner.. where you have that beautiful consience .. that clear told you the werdict.. This movie can't fail.. It has whole of Tamil Cinema is at Stake.. This is movie.. is not only closely watched in South India.. Its the most anticipated movie of the Decade.. worldover Larger than life movie we just a dream..in Indian Cinema ..Till this movie got kicked off....

As far as Movie music goes.. Like Thineshan.. there were many who critisised even Bombay.. you remember..

Uyirea.. Uyirea.. Song... Sung by Hariharan.. were insulted like M@#$ea ... M@#$ea... The same number.. turned out to be one of the greatest soundtrack .. of arr..... so guys
Compare to all his pervious rajini movies this ones.. 100000000000 times better and it lived up to its hype..

ok I know certain.. section of fans of certain actor/s are still upset on ARR turning down couple of offers.. But you need to understand.. he knew what he was working on.. this could be his .. Biggest Musical blockbuster.. of his career.. Pl remember he completed his work for Lord of Rings.. and landed straight in his hometown.. to compose music for this movie.. Let me remind you guys.. he has 2 hollywood movies.. waiting for his composition.. This is just not about money.. !!

So Mr. thineshan sir.. unga.. supposeaa.. un ketya.. badram... lock pani vechigungoo.. you might have to use that for couple of other movies.. which have created... ummm what is the word......ummmm aaa.. Hype..

Shivaji - THE BOSS... Name confirms.. what he is for the Box office.. so people with -ve thinking.. back off..

BILLA - RANGA - BADSHAH DA... EVAN PISTOL PEASUM.. BESHAH DA.....

Any business has a chance of flopping, no matter how good the planning is... This is also true with life! We can only do sooo much to succeed, but beyond a certain point, it's not in our control to obtain the results! This is my belief... The same goes with the movie too! Let's see what kind of effort Shankar, Rajini, and the crew has put in to the movie! As of now, we only know the songs... If they really had done a great job (which I'm sure they did), it will win! If it doesnt, then what can we do? We'll just have to move on, and see how to correct ourselves in the future! Sorry for being a little philosophical...

From: m_23_bayarea on Sat Apr 28 14:20:36 2007. [Full View]

- The movie has a message about uplifting the Indian economy on par with the US and other western countries, which is typical of a Shankar movie!

- Rajini's presence and style!

- Shankar's story (even though customary), and a fast screenplay!

- ARR's amazing songs, and hopefully dashing BGM!

- Shankar's picturisation of the songs and the movie with hi-fi technicality (sure, expensive with glitz and glamor)!

- Vivek's comedy!

Thineshan, the likelihood of flopping is minimal... Rajini's last flop BABA dint have any of these pretty much!

Shivaji touches upon Indian economy
Apr 26, 2007, 12:28

There is always a message in superstar Rajinikanth's films; for a Shankar film it is almost customary! With the two icons of Tamil cinema joining hands in Sivaji, the movie will be no exception; it will come out with solutions for the matters of disgrace prevalent in our country.

Accepting this, Shankar says, 'In Sivaji, the subject we have touched upon is the state of the Indian economy. Packed with all commercial ingredients, the movie carries a strong message on how to uplift our economy on par with that of the US and other super powers. In addition, Sivaji also has some special things which will certainly woo Rajini fans.'

With just a few days left for the release of the movie which is tentatively planned for 17 May, the hype and expectations are touching an all-time high in Tamil film industry.

Sayanora gathers applause
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 28, 2007]

As the audio of Sivaji has become a rage in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, one of the singers is jumping with Joy in her home town in Kerala.

The one family in Kerala that has personal reasons to celebrate this success- is Sayonara�s. The Singer from Kerala had sung a song in the album that too the opening numbers with A R Rahman.

For this song, starting Adiradi Kaadhal Machcham..., Sayonara had modulated her voice more like Shakira.

After recording the Tamil version, the music director tried to bring someone else to sing the song in it Telugu version, but very soon he realized that the voice wasn't as good as Sayonara's.

Eventually, she sang the song in Telugu too. Now both the songs are reigning the charts.

Sayanora has earlier worked with A R Rahman in many projects. She was in the lead of Rahman's Bosnian album, and also worked as a chorus singer in Manirathnam's Guru. Then she sung songs for Sillunu Oru Kadhal, its Telugu version, and a yet-to-be released Hindi film 'Jane Kyon'.

As she has become a regular with Rahman, She will join him, when he tours the US and Canada this summer for music shows.

Sayanora debuted into filmdom with the song that she has sung for Malayalam movie Manjupoloru Penkutty in the music of Alphonse.

Recently she had sung two songs for the Malluwood Vishu hits Chotta Mumbai and Big B.

1.2006 - Munbe vaa was last year's one of biggest hits and most played song in FMs and sun music channels
2. ARR's varalaaru went on to bcome one of the biggest grossers in tamil film history...........though ARR's contri was minimal, his name cannot be removed from this achievement
3. Guru - collected 80 crores+ and stands tall as the biggest hit of the year so far in bollywood......
4. Pray for me brother was a smash hit effort and will be used by United Nations for their "millenium development goals" project.....

i dunno, when ARR was down to make a comeback............he had already made a comeback with SOK and he hasnt looked back since.......

also, ARR doesent need anyone to give him a comeback or life........his talent,ability,GOD,his fans/prayers are enuf to keep him afloat always......

Rajini prefers ARR always cos he sees a lot of himself in ARR.........spirituality,down-to-earth, listening to others' opinion, praising others etc etc ........and ofcourse Rajini is a fan of ARR's music, no doubts.....

sivaji-a film of many firsts

The much-awaited film, AVM's "Sivaji � The Boss", directed by Shankar, which has been in the making for more than a year, will be released this month. The songs of the film were earlier released.

"Sivaji" has several firsts to its credit. This is the first time three biggies from the film industry AVM. Saravanan, director Shankar and Superstar Rajnikanth have come together. They are joined by maestro A. R. Rahman, who has composed choice tunes for the film and who is now doing the re-recording.

It may be recalled that both director Shankar and A. R. Rahman went all the way to Australia to score the music for the film. Another first in the annals of Tamil cinema is that the highest remuneration was given to a Tamil poet for a single song. Kavignar Valee got Rs.2 lakh for the song `Athiradee', he wrote for the film. As the hype around the movie and the music grew, three songs were illegally circulated on the Internet. Though they were not the final product, they gave fans a taste of what was to come prior to the release.

The biggest first was the record sales of the audio of the film on the very first day of the launch. More than two lakh CDs and the same number of cassettes were bought by various dealers � the highest number in the audio market. The reaction of the Super Star is also considered a first, and a happy one at that. Before the audio was released, Rajinikanth saw the songs and was floored. He commended director Shankar for his effort.

The film portal Galatta.com officially came out with the mobile content of "Sivaji", even before the audio release. This is another first in the Indian film industry. The portal has joined hands with Hungama Mobile and AVM Productions to offer mobile and other content across the globe. All one needs to do is sms "SIVAJI" at 4646 and one can get an array of mobile download options, including ringtones, wallpapers, logos and stills of the film.

SPOKE TO DREAM MINDS.. PEOPLE.. THEY ARE SAYING.. RELEASE IS LIKELY TO BE AROUND 25 / 26TH .. SPECIAL SHOW WILL BE ARRANGED A DAY BEFORE.. !!

DEVUDA.. DEVUDA... YELLUMALAI.. DEVUDA.. CHUDUDA CHUDUDA... ENNGA.. PAKKAM.. CHUDUDA..

Pitching RKC or KVA I would say guys.. its a bad idea both are very talented camermen, Shankar had worked with both of them..in his past filims, If you see KVA has worked with more hero oriented subjects than RKC.. This is could be the only reason why he opted KVA for SHIVAJI..

As far SHIVAJI is cocerned.. I feel they got the rite combination.. Lets wait for the Rajini Magic on the screen.. !! I am sure, KVA would have had fun of his life time.. capturing.. !!Thalivar....!!

Rahman gives final touches to �Sivaji�
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
May 02, 2007

If a special award is instituted for the most awaited film of the year, super star�s Sivaji will undoubtedly walk away with all the laurels. This film can be clearly stated as the conglomeration of the �creamy layer� of Tamil film industry. From the producer to the director to the artists to the musicians, the industry�s bigwigs are involved in this film.

This has naturally raised the barometric levels of audience�s expectations.

The film is in its final stages of wrapping up and music director A R Rahman is back in town after completing re-recording work for Sivaji in London. Having completed that, the genius is back in his home town and has immediately rushed to the studios to oversee how the audio-mixing had shaped up. The count down for the release of Sivaji has already begun and fans all over the world are eagerly waiting for the D day.

The 'Sivaji' fever is escalating like a hot tampered auto meter. So the PMK is determined to cool it down

The PMK is headed by Ramadoss and are self styled champions of Tamil culture. Their contention is that Tamil cinema is corrupting Tamil culture and youth. They poked fun at Rajini's 'Baba' and posed many hindrances for the film too. The grapevine has it that they plan to give the same treatment to 'Sivaji' too.

'Sivaji' is a big budget film. Only if the theatre tickets are somewhat high for the first 2 weeks, they will be able to recover the costs. But the Tamilnadu Govt., has put a stop to such practice.

Reliable sources say that representatives of the producer and Rajini have approached the Govt., to relax this rigid rule. More importantly, Arasu Kavi of the Muthamizh Arignarin Arasavai has spoken to the govt about this and the info has reached PMK's vigilant ears.

The issue was brought up by Prakash, the head of the City Planning Committee of the Chennai City Corporation. He stressed that 'Sivaji' film should not be given any preferential treatment. It is to be noted that he is a close relative of the PMK chief.
Dr. Ramadoss

PMK plans to file a petition in the court that 'Sivaji' should get no tax exemption since it is a Kannada name. They also plan to keep a watch in theatres to check if a high ticket tariff is being collected. This is to be overseen by the Thamizhar Paadukaapu Iyakkam.

PMK is determined that 'Sivaji' should get no concession whatsoever. The 'Sivaji' unit is determined that they will attain victory even without any concessions

[tscii]Sivaji - Frequently asked Questions & Answers!!!
(5/3/2007)

These are the informations we exclusively collected for you all.

1) When is Sivaji is going to release?

Shankar is working round the clock (really) in post-production to finish the computer graphics for the film. Since the graphics dominate many scenes and major parts of the songs it is consuming time above from the stipulated one. The CG has been now outsourced to few other animation giants in the city. And many graphic animators are working for the boss.

Shankar too don't want to miss this holiday season though 30% of the holidays are already over. The unit aims to release the film by 17th. Though the graphic would have been finished by May first week - what troubling is 'film processing' - It is expected that it will eat much days. Now talks are being held with major labs in Mumbai too.

AVM has assured to its distributors and theatre owners that they are particular to release the film by May 17th. If things don't work out within that time - the release may further pushed to another week. That's it. Not more that. So, u can expect the boss surely by 17th this month or after a few days from 17th.

2) How is audio doing?

Sivaji Audio is a bumper hit and many audio shops in the city and state witnessed a thunderous sales after a long time. DVD player sales too shot up after Sivaji release. (A shop owner told me)

Another leap in audio sales is expected once the movie hits the screens. Rahman has retained his Numero 1 position again with this. Industry circles quote that he has used the opportunity well to re-establish himself.

3) Is there any rift between AVM and Shankar?

Yes. Some industry sources say that Shankar is testing the patience of AVM very much with his `perfect-so-perfect'attitude. They feel that they missed the golden opportunity of Summer release. But open clash is averted since the film involves Superstar. Due to his presence, they are maintaining themselves tongue tied. Otherwise things would turn otherway. (But it may change once the movie releases.)

4) What is Superstar doing now?

Superstar is in a restless state now and he is eagerly anticipating the release like all of us. (For his it is first copy).

Thalaivar is not intervening in Shankar's work or nagging him to finish the movie. He feels that every minute and seconds Shanakr spending for the movie is worth. And moreover he feels that � Namma Valeiya correcta mudhichittom. Ini Shankaraachu, Saravanan saar aachu. May be he is in footsteps of Himalays by the time u read this message.

Friday May 4 2007 09:01 IST

Rosella Stephen

Star and style: Rajni and Shriya in Sivaji

Last month, a rather unassuming-looking CD landed on my desk. Publicity shots of Rajnikant in Sivaji. It had the 57-year-old in an ash blond wig, the latest aviator Ray-Bans, Diesel trainers, and beige clam diggers. Clam diggers? Those three-quarter-length trousers that crossed gender boundaries several years ago? Rajnikant�s superstar status, killer dialogues and mannerisms notwithstanding, the new fashion statement clearly caught us unawares. And it also got us talking about someone else � Manish Malhotra.

Often called the big daddy of contemporary Bollywood fashion (he prefers the title ��big brother��), Malhotra has worked with everybody from Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan to Sridevi and Urmila Matondkar, even newcomer Deepika Padukone. ��I�ve done costumes for three generations of actors and close to a 1000 films,�� he tells me. So when hot-shot Sivaji director Shankar decided to invite Bollywood�s favourite designer on board, it didn�t take him long to say �yes�.

��I�d done Indian and Nayak with Shankar before. Initially I was supposed to do a song for Sivaji. But the set up was so organised and disciplined and Shankar so convinced about his work that I went on to do almost all the costumes for Rajni Sir, as well as for Shriya and Nayanthara (the female cast) in the film.��

Cagey about the brief he was given (everybody in Shankar�s films normally is) and the budget, Malhotra says he first heard the script and knew the songs were mostly dream sequences. ��Of course, Rajni Sir is larger-than-life and we also wanted to have some fun. There is a contemporary song shot in Spain. The basic colours I chose for him were beige, brown and grey.��

And the pastel jackets in the promos? ��Those are for the songs. In the film, Rajni Sir�s character goes through different phases and his clothes were chosen accordingly. As a software engineer from abroad he wears business suits, and in a breezy setup, he wears printed shirts. For the serious scenes, he�s in denim jeans � we picked up several brands like Deisel and Hugo Boss. I love using jeans, especially when it�s paired with something ornate.�� Incidentally, he had a heady time designing for Shriya too: ��You should see her outfits, full of Swarovskis.��

Shivaji to release on May 17th!?
May 3, 2007, 07:27

Although, the production house AVM has not officially made any statement, Telugu producer Bellamkonda says Rajnikanth�s Shivaji would hit the screens on May 17th. As the number 8 is lucky to director Shankar, the makers are in favour of releasing it on that day.

The film is still under the post-production and there was talk that it would release only on June 4th. But Bellamkonda now confirms that it will release on May 17th.

NRI filmmaker is all praise for Rajnikanth
IANS [Sunday, May 06, 2007]

New York, May 6 (IANS) New York-based filmmaker Tirlok Malik, who was the line producer of Rajnikanth's much talked about Tamil movie "Sivaji", says the actor has a larger than life persona.

During their schedule in New York, Malik and the team of "Sivaji" shot at various locations in the city. Directed by S. Shankar, who made "Nayak" and "Jeans", the film is said to be one of Indian cinema's most expensive.

Asked about the experience of working with superstar Rajnikanth, Malik said: "He has a larger than life persona not only on screen but also off screen."

Malik is an Emmy award nominated producer who loves making films on NRI themes. From his first film, the award winning "Lonely in America", to his most recent "Arya", he has always promoted Indian American talent.

Produced by AVM Productions, the credits of "Sivaji" also boast of National Award winning cinematographer K.V. Anand and internationally acclaimed music director A.R. Rahman.

The film is to hit the screens soon.

Rajnikanth shoots for India's most expensive film

Indiantelevision.com Team

(5 May 2007 8:40 pm)

NEW DELHI: If 'Jeans' starring Aishwarya Rai was in its time the most expensive film, its director S Shankar is now engaged in making what he claims is India's most expensive film to date, 'Sivaji'.

Starring matinee idol and action hero Rajnikanth, the film was recently shot in this American metropolis. Well-known filmmaker Tirlok Malik was the line producer for this Tamil film produced by AVM Productions which also boasts of National Award winning cinematographer K.V. Anand and internationally acclaimed music director A.R. Rahman.

Shankar is also remembered for the highly acclaimed 'Nayak' and 'Indian'.

'Sivaji' is slated for early release.

Malik, founder of the NRI TV Film Club, told indiantelevision.com that Rajnikanth 'has a Godly persona not only on screen but also off screen.'

Malik, who has won several awards including one for his very first film 'Lonely in America' in which he had also acted, had recently been nominated for a New York Emmy Award in the category of Historical Programming-Cultural Historical in a Thirteen/WNET segment.

"I love making films in New York," were his opening lines in the segment on Indian filmmaking--which Malik was also the segment producer--has aired several times on Thirteen/WNET in both the "Setting the Stage" and the "New York Voices" programmes. The Emmy is awarded by The New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NY NATAS).

Opening with Malik, the segment also features many other Indian-American filmmakers and actors - actress Pooja Kumar, actor Ranjit Chowdhry, DJ Rekha, producer Chander Malik-- as well as media personalities including Sree Sreenivasan of South Asia Journalists Association (SAJA).

Scenes appear from many Indian-American movies such as 'Lonely In America', his latest 'Arya', 'Flavors', 'Night With Henna', 'Hiding Divya' and many others including Bollywood movies with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai.

Waiting for `Sivaji`!

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 07 May , 2007, 13:40

May is normally the big blockbuster month in world cinema- Hollywood, Bollywood,and Kollywood. Every year without fail, the first Friday and the last Friday of May will see a Hollywood mass movie mainly a big franchise film releasing.

This year from Hollywood, it is Spider-man 3 on May 4 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 on May 25, both big movies with their Tamil versions. Surprisingly there are no big Hindi movies this year, other than Shoot out at Lokhandwala and Cheeni Kum both due on May 25.

As far as Tamilnadu is concerned, there is only one big blockbuster scheduled for release in May- Rajnikanth's magnum opus Sivaji, which according to the trade is due on May 17.

The latest we hear from sources close to Shankar is that they are trying their best to complete post production work of the film and release it on May 26. Remember Shankar's big blockbusters Indian and Jeans were released in the month of May? The leading exhibitors in Tamilnadu are not taking bookings for any new Tamil films in May, as they are all waiting for Sivaji.

Already half a dozen big and small films producers have made it clear that they will release their ventures only a month after Sivaji. Ajit's Kireedam, Vikram's Bheema will announce their release strategy only after the release of the blockbuster film. Along with that some small films too do not want to get in the way of the mighty giant.

Yes Thaliavar is untouchable,.. His movies.. always as this trends. In the past only few survived, against Thaliavar movies.. So posslibity of any movie surviving .. is 1:10 ratio ..with some exceptionally good story and with some good cast ofcourse (who can do some really good acting) . Its interesting bcoz of shivaji lotz of movies got saved for the month of June.. !! If, Suppose.. for some reason they decided to Release it on June 8th.. or so..
what happens.. ??

SHIVAJI, Spiderman 3 , Captain Jack Sparrow - Superheros.. for Indian Summer..07 !!

Two individuals selling Sivaji tickets arrested
By Behindwoods News Bureau.

May 07, 2007

The word Sivaji has been associated with hype and hoopla ever since Rajinikanth had signed on the dotted lines for AVM Production. Anything and everything associated with the magnum opus is lapped up by the general public.

Now comes another news on the movie's tickets. Special token tickets issued specifically for Rajini fans associations have been sold by two individuals in the black market near Rakki theatre in Ambattur.

The manager of the theatre getting to know of the illegal sale reported it to the Ambattur Industrial Estate police station.

Both the individuals have been quickly remanded in custody and are being investigated by the local Police. The source through which the accused have got access to the token tickets are still not known.

The ticket sales of a movie for which the release date is yet to be officially announced is something that is unheard of in the Tamil Cinema history.

VV And Varalaruu. are pretty much got delayed.. after post production..for different reason all together.. !! But in Shivaji's case.. Movie itself is not completed on time.. its simply.. pressure is getting on to Production team.. you can't do much in these case.. even though as a die hard fan of Thaliavar.. I get angry on Shankar and Others..

Practically speaking.. one should understand.. they are working on the most expensive movie till date in Indian Cinema.. .!! again we the same fans. will comment like.. Graphics could have been better and color effect could have been better.. and things like that..

for Instance.. is Indian.. Many of the kamal fans feel that his makeup was not up to the mark.. even today .. despite of movie being hit.. , Production team, is working overtime to just make sure that non of these heck ups....happens to Shivaji.

I am ready to wait for the perfect Shivaji.. even if it takes a month more.. !! I am sure every one will agree we don't want the most anticpated movie of decade.. to be hurried for any reason...

Thaliavar Late vandalum.. Latesta.. Varuvar.. !!! I know suspense kills.. sometime.. But.. it Thrills.. once you picturise Thaliavar.. in Dashing.. suits.. with US landscapes... Thaliavar dancing with Spain Dancers... with some.... amazing.. BGM composed out of London and Scotland.. .. comeon guys.. we can wait... as far as collection goes.. if its a normal movie.. I would accept with sakalakala.... 25 day 50 days. mark..

Sir this is going to be a Landmark in Indian Cinema.. you got to think beyond in days.. !! It will hit successful.. Diamond jubilee.. milestone.. I have no doubt in my mind.. !!..

Vivek's surprise in Sivaji

Comedy in Tamil films has graduated to higher levels thanks to comedians like Vivek, Vadivelu and others. Generally Vivek appears in films as a bosom buddy of the hero and will stand by him in his fall and rise. In the forthcoming Sivaji too, Vivek is slated to make his appearance felt but this time as the maternal uncle of the super star.

Readers may be aware that Tamil debate speaker Raja will be donning the role of Shreya's father in Sivaji.

Meanwhile, in the political arena too, Sivaji is said to have created a slight hullabaloo and was the reason for some heated debate in the Tami Nadu legislative assembly. While discussing the tax waiver extended to films with Tamil titles, Mr.Raman from Congress raised a question if the name Sivaji was a Tamil word or not and whether the film would enjoy the tax benefit. This has triggered quite a disturbance in the session and Minister Paridi Ilam Vazhudi was not too sure about the answer and replied that he would get back to Mr.Raman after a while.

Shriya thrilled with Sivaji�s prospects
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, May 08, 2007]

With just a few days left for the release of Rajinikanth starrer Sivaji, an air of joy and excitement has gripped Shriya.

The young actress has played Rajinikanth's ladylove in the movie. She is all thrilled at the film and hopes for a fantastic opening.

Asked why she accepted the offer, Shriya says, 'I signed the film because I was getting a chance to work with Rajinikanth. I am a fan of his movies�.

On the experiences working with Super Star, she says, �It was a learning experience to work with him. For me, it was almost like going to an institution all over again. I was so glad to see how down-to-earth and simple he is in life�.

On director Shankar, Shriya says, �He is very meticulous, organized in his thoughts and knows exactly what he is doing. He is someone who can convert a dream into reality�.

Shankar's sentiment
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, May 08, 2007]

Producer director Shankar had his big movies like Jeans and Indian released in the month of May. Fortunately they have gone on to make it big at the box-office.

Now the ace director of Tamil cinema is all set to release his magnum opus Sivaji this May.

Post production works are on at a rapid pace. With all other movies including Ajith's Kireedom and Vikram's Bheema preferring to stay out of a clash with Sivaji, the movie is all set to open big.

Buzz is that Sivaji would hit the screen on 17 May. However sources close to Shankar say, �There is a possibility that the release be shifted to 26 May�.

Anyway, this May belongs to Shankar and Rajinikanth.

`Sivaji` hoarding appears!
By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 09 May , 2007, 17:46
Good News. The first vinyl hoarding of most eagerly awaited Rajnikanth film Sivaji has made an appearance at Gemini fly over junction at Anna Salai, Chennai from yesterday. Similar hoardings are expected all over Chennai shortly.

The hoarding can be best viewed when one comes from Thousand Lights side of Anna Salai and gets on to the Gemini fly over and either go down to Nungambakkam High Road or go straight to Teynampet. The hoarding has been erected inside the horticultural society grounds (Drive-In Woodlands), and from the Gemini fly over it is eye catching.

Our superstar looks smashing in a blue jeans and shirt, with brown blazer and aviator glasses all designed by noted Bollywood fashion designer Manish Malhotra. Now that the hoarding has come, the release date may also be near!

Rajnikanth fans start countdown

Superstar Rajnikant and Shriya in "Sivaji". The film is the 100th Tamil film for Rajni. Produced by AVM productions and directed by Shankar, the film is expected to be released soon.

Amid speculation about the date on which Sivaji - The Boss will hit theatres, Rajnikanth fans in Kochi are busy working out strategies to give a rousing welcome to the latest film of their star. They have only one wish: somehow manage a ticket for the first day, first show.

Kumar, an ardent fan, says: "I shall like to watch it on the first day of release. There is a chance that the exhibitors may cut some scenes from the second day. Moreover, the `premiere show' is like a festival. The drama on the other side of the screen, with cheering and hooting, is a treat to watch."

How can fans stop celebrating the arrival of yet another Rajni movie? The star was last seen in a film 20 months ago in Chandramukhi. It is still drawing crowds in small centres. Box-office records were broken. Rajnikanth has been tipped as the second highest paid actor in Asia, behind the all-time favourite Jackie Chan.

"Sivaji - The Boss will rewrite box-office history. A Rajni film is special, as the actor is so dear to all of us. His style remains unchallenged," says Shanmugam, a loyal fan.

Fans have lapped up everything related to the film. Three days after the audio release, retail music shops in South India are sold out. "The A.R. Rahman-Shankar-Rajni combine has clicked. Songs from the movie are top on charts. My favourite is Athiradi sung by Rahman. Balleilakka is another foot-tapping number," says Sasi, a Government employee.

Rajnikanth fans hope that the film will be released by the third week of May. Sivaji has been in the news for long, as it has some of the high-profile names in Tamil film industry. Made under the banner of AVM Productions, the movie is directed by Tamil's highly successful director Shankar, who is teaming up with Rajnikanth for the first time. The name of A.R. Rahman makes the team more power-packed.

The lyrics are penned by Valee, Vairamuthu, Pa Vijay, and Muthukumar. K.V. Anand cranks the camera. Sujatha provides the punchy dialogues for the star. Thotta Tharani, Kollywood's respected art director, has designed the expensive sets.

'Sivaji' release on May 26
May 9, 2007, 12:07

This is not a confirmed statement but sources in AVM gossip that May 26 could well be the release date for 'Sivaji.'

Though Shankar and AVM wanted a Tamil New Year release, pending work on graphics and background music has delayed the release date to May end.

May 17 was a probable date since Shankar's lucky number is 8. But AR Rehman is taking time to organize the background score for the fight scenes, so May 17 is out of the question. The graphics in the climax fight scenes are also not complete. As Shankar has said last week, graphics could take 2 days or 2 weeks.

But May 26 could well be THE date as that also adds to 8. 'Sivaji' will be dubbed in Telugu also and released at the same time. So dubbing work is also going on at a brisk pace.

Since May 26 is almost confirmed, many films slated for a May 11 release, have been postponed indefinitely.

Land of Cheras scared of 'Sivaji'!
May 9, 2007, 12:21

Even before the release of 'Sivaji,' the Kerala state has decided to bring a curb on Tamil films. So the Malayalam film fraternity has met the minister and submitted their petition.

In Karnataka, one has to pay more money to see a Tamil film than a Kannada film. If one pays Rs.10 to see a Kannada film, the payment for a Tamil film is Rs.100. The reason is tax.

The Karnataka Govt., gives tax exemption to Kannada films but collects 100% tax from other regional films. This is their means to cut down popularity of other regional films.

The Malayalam film personalities have filed a petition to the Kerala govt to levy massive tax on other regional films. In Kerala, Telugu and Kannada films do not get released. The most demand is only for Tamil films. 'Pokkiri' ran for a 100 days in Kerala and 'Paruthiveeran' has received very good response.

'Sivaji' is to be released this month end. Even 'Chandramukhi' that was a re-make of the Malayalam film 'Manichithrathaazh' was a runaway hit. 'Sivaji' is an original Tamil film, directed by Shankar and there is every possibility that it could beat the other Malayalam films in box office collection. This is causing the Malayalam film field sleepless nights.

So Malayalam stars, producers and directors discussed the situation and came to a decision that Malayalam films should be exempt from tax but other regional films should be taxed heavily. They submitted a petition accordingly to the Kerala culture ministry in person, with the request that it be implemented right away.

Even if the ministry goes ahead with the request, 'Sivaji' is still sure to become a big hit there!

The Reason being.. the local tamils.....!! Tamilians.. usually migrate / already migrated.. to many parts of south India..in bigway.. and slowly influence the locals. But this didn't happen in case of Andhraites.. or Keralites..or Kannadigas migrating to TN Till now (might happen in future) Bcoz of IT Boom. This is the only reason why Other language movies.. doesn't compete with Tamil movies.. in TN.

I am not taking away the credit from TN for creating some quality movies.. but from the commerical point of you.. Even a Boojpuri movie can compete with Tamil Movies.. if there are Boojpuri viewiers in TN.

As far as movie like Shivaji goes.. it doesn't have Language barrier. Bcoz of Thaliavar Factor.. Superstaru Yarruenn keta Chinna Kolandayum.. solum...

Shivaji postponed again
May 10, 2007, 11:04

The release date of Superstar Rajinikanth's magnum opus shivaji is postponed again to May 26. This time, it is due to the pending background music to be composed by music director A.R.Rahman. Moreover, graphics work for a few scenes are left undone.

Though the movie has been produced in a grand manner, the director has taken lots of time in post production stage, which is almost equal to the time he spent for its shooting. Initially, the film was scheduled for release on Tamil New Year Day on April 14. Shankar couldn't complete its shooting on time. So, producer AVM Saravanan announced that it would be released on May 17 without fail. But the truth is that post production works are still going on and A.R.Rahman is yet to complete a major segment of its background score.

Sources from AVM revealed that Shankar is willing to release the film on June 8. However, the producer has pressurised him to release it on May 26. The bad news is that pundits in Kollywood are expecting change in its release date. This bilingual film starring actress Shreya opposite Rajini will be released simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.

Rajinikanth's century
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, May 10, 2007]

The much-awaited Sivaji is nearing its release. In the next few days, the magnum opus from the AVM stable will hit the screens.

Rumors are doing rounds that Sivaji might see the light of the day on 26 May.

The major highlight of Sivaji is that it is Rajinikanth's 100th straight film in Tamil. Rajinikanth has so far acted in a total of 173 films including remakes and dubbings. Sivaji will be his 100th straight film in Tamil.

With big names like Shankar, A R Rahman and K V Anand coming together, no doubt expectations are high on Sivaji. Being 100th film of Rajinikanth in Tamil, his fans do expect a lot of fireworks in the movie.

Hope Rajini delivers them.

Sivaji to be released on 26th May?

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

May 10, 2007

Expectations are feverishly high from all quarters over the release of Sivaji. Fans, movie buffs and critics are crazily looking around for every bit of information on Sivaji. Never has the release date of a Tamil movie ever been discussed so much. To add to this, AVM Productions are now putting up hoardings across the Chennai city fuelling hopes that it may be released some time soon.

General perception in Kollywood is that hoardings are erected for movies that are to hit the screens soon. The grapevine has it that toeing in line with Shankar's sentiment, Sivaji might be released on 26th May. This movie is said to be the lengthiest one by duration among all Shankar movies till date. The movie is said to be close to three hours.

If you're looking for more news on Sivaji, then here it is. The demands for the prints worldwide is a staggering 1300. And this is the first time this many copies of a Tamil movie are being made.

The release of movies such as Bheema and Kreedom among others has been stalled to pave way for Sivaji. Probably these films might be released a few weeks after Sivaji. Not only fans but other stars also await the release of the boss.

10A Vedee Vizhalakaa irrukalam..!! But Vedee Vizhalakka ??

I did say in my early.. post.. everyone invovled is well aware of the economics..what will happen if they are not going to make it offical and stick to the deadline..

Shankar's Perfect attitude.. has been in discussion for while.. .. but trust me , an attitude without discipline will never be appreciated.. even if its the best. Couple of scene re-shoots.. are something media is cooking up.. There is no way..any such thing is happening at this point...

Delay could be bcoz of the X(can't be discussed in public) factors.. which distibutors and exhibitors..are worried about.... May be negotations... is taking time.. but they are sure to reach a strike a deal. soon..(hopefully)!!

To give an example.. of X Factors.. !!
Only Movie with TAMIL Name gets Tax rebate.. of how much ?lets assume.. best case scanario.... if a movie.. runs for 100days they will get about 40-50Lacs.. Tax Rebate..??

But the Same Govt is in Neogtation with Walt Disney and other amusement parks across the world for providing.. Land and Tax holiday for multiple years for there franchisees.. we are talking about Billions of Rupees... (I know its more than a mere movie, job,tourists..etc etc..).. My arguement.. Why can't they add the same clause.. to Walt Disney saying that Name has to be in Tamil.. Else they will not get certain % of Tax rebate.. ?? They will never.. and they can not..(just to add nor they can't have control on howmuch they are going to charge as entry fees , tours, tickets.. etc etc..)

Bottom line, This is the reality Bros.. Both are form of entertainments.... one gets treated.. differently.. from others..

Long live Democracy.. !!! Democratic Politics..

"சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்துள்ள சிவாஜி படம் கண்டிப்பாக தள்ளிப் போடப்பட மாட்டாது, மே மாதமே படம் திரைக்கு வரும் என்று தயாரிப்பாளர் ஏவி.எம். சரவணன் கூறியுள்ளார்.

கண்களையும், காதுகளையும் ரெடி செய்து கொண்டு சிவாஜியை ரசிக்க காத்திருக்கும் கோடானு கோடி ரசிகர்களுக்கும், தலைவர் படம் எப்ப வரும், எப்படிக் கொண்டாடலாம் என்ற தவிப்புடன் உள்ளனர்.

சிவாஜி பட ரிலீஸ் தேதி குறித்து தொடர்ந்து குழப்பம் நிலவி வருகிறது. மே 17ம் தேதி படம் ரிலீஸாகும் என முதலில் அறிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. ஆனால், அது தள்ளிப் போகும் என திடீரென செய்தி கிளம்பியது.

இந்த நிலையில் மே 26ம் தேதி படம் கண்டிப்பாக ரிலீஸாகி விடும், அதற்கு மேல் தாண்டாது என்று ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

இதுகுறித்து ஏவி.எம்.சரவணனைத் தொடர்பு கொண்டு கேட்டபோது, மே மாத கடைசி வாரத்தில் படத்தைத் திரையிட திட்டமிட்டுள்ளோம். இயக்குநர் ஷங்கரும், அவரது குழுவினரும் விரைவாக வேலை பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கின்றனர். அவர்களது வேலைகள் முடியும் தருவாயை எட்டி விட்டன என்றார்.

சிவாஜி படத்தை ரசிகர்களை விட அதிகமாக எதிர்பார்த்துக் கொண்டுள்ளாராம் ரஜினி. காரணம், இது தமிழில் அவருக்கு 100வது படம். இதுவரை 173 படங்களில் ரஜினி நடித்திருந்தாலும் கூட தமிழில் அவருக்கு சிவாஜிதான் 100வது படம்.

இதனால் 100வது தமிழ்ப் படத்தின் வெற்றியை அவர் எதிர்பார்த்திருக்கிறார். நியாயமான எதிர்பார்ப்புதானே.

இதற்கிடையே, சிவாஜிக்கான விளம்பரங்கள் அமர்க்களப்படுத்த ஆரம்பித்து விட்டன. சென்னை நகரில் ஆங்காங்கே வினைல் போர்டில் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்ட விளம்பர போர்டுகள் பளிச்சிட ஆரம்பித்துள்ளன.

ஜெமினி (அண்ணா) மேம்பாலம் அருகே அண்ணா சாலை சந்திப்பில் சூப்பரான ஒரு விளம்பரப் பலகை பளிச்சிட ஆரம்பித்துள்ளது. கண்ணைப் பறிக்கும் நீல நிற ஜீன்ஸ் மற்றும் பிரவுன் நிற பிளேசருடன், படு லுக்கான கூலிங் கிளாஸில் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் அட்டகாசமாக போஸ் கொடுத்துள்ளார்.

கொளுத்தும் வெயிலில் கண்ணுக்குக் குளிர்ச்சியாக இருக்கிறது இந்த விளம்பர போர்டு. அந்தப் பக்கம் போகிறவர்கள், ஒரு நிமிடம் நின்று இதைப் பார்க்காமல் போவதில்லை.

கோலிவுட்டின் 'பாஷா'வாச்சே, பார்க்காமல் போக முடியுமோ? "

"Shivaji will surely hit the screens in May- AVM

Here is the first official news about the release of Shivaji, the magnum opus of the industry. Director Shankar has completed the graphics and other minor correction work for the film and is preparing himself to unleash the biggest extravaganza of the year.

The AVM campus has announced that the film will be released most probably on 26th of May. When the correspondent contacted A.V.M. Saravanan, the producer of the film, 'We have planned to release the film Shivaji around the last week of this month. Shankar and his team have been working on it and it is nearing completion...' he told.

Shivaji is not only special for the viewers but it is very special for the super star Rajinikanth too. This is his 100th straight film in his career spanning most of the Indian languages. He has so far acted in a total of 173 films including the remakes and dubbings. In Tamil only he has completed 99 films and Shivaji will be the 100 th in the row.

AVM has erected its first vinyl hoarding for the film at Gemini fly over junction at Anna Salai, Chennai from yesterday. The superstar looks stunning in blue jeans and brown blazer with stylish black glasses. It is needless to talk about the excitement and joy of the fans of the actor. Even passer-byes who have a look at this hoarding for few minutes are surprised by the looks of the 'Basha of Kollywood'. Similar hoardings are expected all over Chennai shortly. "

Kollywood agog over release of Rajnikant film
11th May 2007 14.00 IST
By P. Sreekumaran

Release of a Rajnikant movie is always a mega occasion in Tamil film world.

The whole of Kollywood is agog with excitement as the magnum opus of Tamil cinema's numero uno Sivaji is set for seeing the light of the day on May 17.

Such is the hype and hoopla surrounding the flick that fans have already started preparing for watching their hero on the Big Screen.

The combination of three giants � Rajnikant, director Shankar and music director A R Rahman � is bound to come up with a sure-fire winner, according to trade circles. The songs of �Sivaji� are already a rage among the Tamil masses.

'Sivaji' is the only film scheduled to be released in the month of May.

Other films which were earlier set to release in May have put off the date dreading a showdown with Rajni film.

Kamal Haasan , for instance, has already postponed the release of his magnum opus, Dasavatharam by two three months.

So have actors Ajit and Vikram whose flicks, Kireedam and Bheema are complete. But a clash with a Rajni film is the last thing they want.

So, there is no question of their films being released in May either. Such is the awe in which Rajni is held in Tamil film world.

Dude. They had to get dates for the heroines. Asin's shooting Ghajni with ARM/Aamir Khan and Kamal revises his shooting schedule to fit the other artists. It's planned for August and it's been known back in March, so your're late on that justification.

Kireedom/Bheema are pushed to June. With their delayed releases, they can release the audio in the meantime.

Rajnikanth's 'Sivaji' delayed in Kerala

May 13, 2007, 12:26 GMT

Thiruvananthapuram, May 13 (IANS) The release of Rajnikanth's much-awaited 'Sivaji' might be delayed in Kerala due to distribution problems.

An agreement between the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and 48 of the state's theatre owners has proved to be a stumbling block. According to the agreement, new films will be released in these theatre owners' cinema halls against an advance payment by film producers.

In the event of films failing at the box office, the theatre owners' loss is to be compensated by the producers' next film being released in the same halls.

The chamber, however, has decided to release 'Sivaji' in a far larger number of theatres in the state to give the film maximum exposure.

The 48 theatre owners have now strongly opposed this decision. They fail to hear the chamber's pleas that the agreement applied only to Malayalam films.

The biggest losers of this confusion will be Rajnikanth fans in Kerala, who may have to wait it out a while for the film's release.

Sivaji in theatres on May 31

The long wait is over. The most anticipated film of recent times, Sivaji, is releasing on the May 31, AVM Studios announced.

"No, it is not a lucky number or anything like that. The post-production work will be over by May 15," S C Babu, CEO, AVM Productions said.

Other than the digital prints, 400 Tamil and 300 Telugu prints will be sent to various theatres all over the world making it the first Tamil film to be released simultaneously in the US, Canada, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Australia.

In Tamil Nadu, a large number of digital prints will be despatched to 140 digital theatres for the first time. However, the names of the theatres have not been finalised.

Rajnikanth in Sivaji"From the response we are getting, it looks like the first two weeks will be fully booked even before the release," Babu said.
AVM seems excited about their new product, which has taken more than one and a half years to finish.

The CEO agreed that Sivaji is the most anticipated film in India now. "We keep getting queries about the film not only from Tamil Nadu but also from all around the world," he added.

Meanwhile, the music of Sivaji by A R Rahman is a hit. "We got excellent feedback from places like Punjab where people have loved every song though they cannot understand a single word, which goes to show music has no barrier," the CEO added.

Incidentally, Sivaji is Rajnikanth's 100th Tamil film, and the ninth for AVM. All the eight films Rajni had done for AVM were huge hits.

Sivaji is also the most expensive film made by AVM and according to the CEO, "possibly the most expensive film made in India too."

Sivaji in theatres on May 31

The long wait is over. The most anticipated film of recent times, Sivaji, is releasing on the May 31, AVM Studios announced.

"No, it is not a lucky number or anything like that. The post-production work will be over by May 15," S C Babu, CEO, AVM Productions said.

Other than the digital prints, 400 Tamil and 300 Telugu prints will be sent to various theatres all over the world making it the first Tamil film to be released simultaneously in the US, Canada, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Australia.

In Tamil Nadu, a large number of digital prints will be despatched to 140 digital theatres for the first time. However, the names of the theatres have not been finalised.

Rajnikanth in Sivaji"From the response we are getting, it looks like the first two weeks will be fully booked even before the release," Babu said.
AVM seems excited about their new product, which has taken more than one and a half years to finish.

The CEO agreed that Sivaji is the most anticipated film in India now. "We keep getting queries about the film not only from Tamil Nadu but also from all around the world," he added.

Meanwhile, the music of Sivaji by A R Rahman is a hit. "We got excellent feedback from places like Punjab where people have loved every song though they cannot understand a single word, which goes to show music has no barrier," the CEO added.

Incidentally, Sivaji is Rajnikanth's 100th Tamil film, and the ninth for AVM. All the eight films Rajni had done for AVM were huge hits.

Sivaji is also the most expensive film made by AVM and according to the CEO, "possibly the most expensive film made in India too."

All about Sivaji

IndiaGlitz [Monday, May 14, 2007]

It would be destination Sivaji beginning 31 May. The much-awaited film which has created a lot of hype and expectations is releasing on 31 May with maximum number of prints. The movie has been the talk of the town what with the biggest marquee names in Kollywood (Rajini, Shankar, A R Rahman), and some of most talented technicians like cameraman K V Anand, editor Anthony, art director Thotta Tharani, writer Sujatha, choreographers Raju Sundaram, Larencce and Brinda, and costume designer Manish Malhotra have figuring in it

The movie which is Rajinikanth's 168th movie is interestingly his 100th straight film in Tamil.

With AVM too pulling out all stops to make the movie fit the image of Rajini and the imagination of Shankar, the expectations are at an amazing high.

The movie is director Shankar's eighth film, his luck rests on eight. Rajinikanth favors nine and this is his ninth movie with AVM.

Rajinikanth, who looks refreshing, thanks to costumes designed by Manish Malhotra considers Thursdays to be an auspicious day. The movie releases on Thursday.

What more, acclaimed cinematographer K V Anand has used state-of-the-art technology to shoot the movie. He has used advanced Super - 35, 4k tech, to shoot the movie. This is the first-ever time such a technology being introduced in Tamil cinema.

Due mention should be made of art-director Thota Tharani. He has come up with grand sets and recreated foreign locales in Chennai for a song sequence.

Anthony, who has carved a niche with his slick editing, has reportedly come up with a stupendous work. Sujatha, who is known for crisp and meaningful dialogues and scintillating music by A R Rahman are sure to work in favor of the film.

With a team of talented choreographers in Prabhu Deva, Raju Sundaram, Larencce Raghavendra and Brinda coming together, no doubt the choreography in Sivaji would be hip-shaking and eye-catching. Veterans Vaali (Adhiradikaran) and Vairamuthu (Vaji Vaji) along with a young brigade comprising Na Muthukumar (Ballelaka), Pa Vijay (Style), have come up with catchy lyrics that is set to scintillating tunes by Rahman. The songs are already a craze among music-buffs and are repeatedly aired in several FM Radio Stations.

Rahman has composed the background score in Chennai, London and Cheq Republic. Designer Manish Malhotra, who has worked his magic on such Bollywood beauties like Karishma Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee and Kajol, was roped in to work his undoubted skill on Rajinikanth. His effort seems to have paid of. For, going by the stills released to the press, Rajini looks at his smartest best.

Shriya plays Rajini's heroine. On being part of a Rajinikanth film, Shriya says, �It was project which had all the big names in Tamil film industry. When Shankar offered me the role, I immediately grabbed it with both hands since I am a great fan of Rajinikanth�.

Others in the cast include Vivek, Suman, Raghuvaran, Manivannan, and Vadivukarasi, Solomon Pappaiyah, Raja, Bose Venkat and others.

Sivaji filled with surprises

IndiaGlitz [Monday, May 14, 2007]

With 31 May declared as the release date of Sivaji, expectations and hype has increased double-fold on the movie.

Produced by M Saravanan and M S Guhan for AVM Productions, the movie featuring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar has few surprising coincident coming its way.

According to AVM Productions, �Those of us who believe in coincidence being form of divine intervention, there is a lot of that in Sivaji. The movie is director Shankar's eighth film, his luck rests on eight. Rajinikanth favors nine and this is his ninth movie with AVM and also it happens to be his 100th straight Tamil film. The title of the film resonates with Rajinikanth's real name Sivaji Rao Gaekwad�.

Shankar talks on Sivaji

How have you made the whole of Tamil Nadu to talk ceaselessly?

We are just doing our job and that job has transcended beyond even ourselves.

And now after the release of the Sivaji songs, the anticipation has grown even more?

Yes.

Now even when you were taking the Mudhalvan movie, it seemed that the both of you (Shankar & Rajni) were going to come together for a film, and then why the gap in between and now why has it finally materialized in Sivaji?

We have met and spoken on numerous occasions, but I think this is the right time; everything has come together correctly, the script. umm.just everything, all things have fallen into place and because of that we started the movie.

Do you typically get the story ready and then choose the appropriate lead star for it - what is your system for this?

Generally, we get the story ready and choose a star who is more apt and suiting for that role. In all of my stories such as Kadhalan, Jeans and other such lighter love movies, you can see a certain super heroism, larger than life.you can see those types of characters; those have become super hero driven stories. If you take any of those, whether Rajni Sir had starred or whether Kamal Sir had starred, they would have been excellent. So that is the question of whether we begin with an artist or whether we begin with a story.but in terms of this movie (Sivaji), I was thinking about Rajni Sir when I came up with this story.

So from the beginning you had this story in mind for him?

Yea, this story came about with him in mind.

Then, when you make a movie with Rajni and because he is a Superstar, did you feel a lot of pressure? Such as: should there be a certain kind of buildup? Did you have any pressure since you knew you were creating a story for a Superstar?

There was both pressure and jolliness. Because there are certain expectations of him in movies, you have to satisfy those requirements. And another thing, because he is there, there are certain advantages, for instance you cannot take on certain issues with some other heroes...so because of that, there are no limits to my creative imagination, but if I placed those same issues on all artists it just would not work out, so when I approach these issues with him there it is be quite interesting.for example, in the "Athiradee" song, you can witness what I'm saying, you cannot do all of those things we have done in the song with any other hero.so there are many plus points like that, but of course there are pressures as well, for instance you cannot change him too much, but then again, people also expect to see some change in my movies.so essentially, you have to give and not give.have to reach a certain balance, so it was both enjoyable and demanding, but finally, I think have solved those issues.

You are known as being a super director and if we take all of your past movies, you can clearly see a sort of Shankar stamp on all of them and in the same way, we can clearly distinguish a Rajni movie from other films, so if we look at it that way and now that the both of you are collaborating together - this Sivaji movie is whose movie?

They say this is a "Ra-Shankar-jni" formula. (Laughs) No, but seriously, for those viewers who are coming expecting a Rajni movie, they will see Rajni Sir's formula and for those coming to see a Shankar movie, they will see Shankar's formula and on top of that, for those fans who are coming to see what a combination of the two would be, even they will be fulfilled, so I have maintained that balance appropriately.

Sir, now in this movie from all the things we have seen, Rajni Sir looks very youthful, how did you accomplish this?

For his character in this movie, we thought a lot about his get-ups and what would look good and like I said before, we cannot change Rajni Sir too much since when people think of Rajni Sir, a certain image registers in their minds, so we cannot change him too much, but we have to bring a tiny bit of change and so we thought about ways to make him look pleasing and we went about gathering stills from his previous movies which we thought would be apt for the character he plays in Sivaji and then we short listed and short listed until we came up with get-ups which perfectly fit his role in the movie. And then we went about procuring the wigs and make-up necessary to reproducing the selected get-ups and we did numerous fittings and only at the last minute did we get the type of wigs and looks we were aiming for.for the city look we used the Billa get-up.

Now when you were doing all of this research were you and your team the only ones doing it or was he (Rajni) also involved?

No he turned over the responsibility to me after hearing what I had to say about what would look good for the movie.after seeing the stills and wigs we came up with and seeing that it was all correct, he was quite happy.

`Sivaji` mania in Andhra!

Now that the release date (May 31) of Rajnikanth's magnum opus Sivaji has been announced, there is a terrific demand among exhibitors to screen the film all over Andhra.

The estimates by the trade pundits have put the number to a swirling 1000 plus prints worldwide. It is Rajnikanth's ninth film for AVM banner and ninth film to be directed by Shankar.

Heroine Shriya is keeping her fingers crossed as the actress who could never make an impact in Tollywood is waiting to become the numero uno in Kollywood surpassing Asin, Trisha, Nayantara among other to the number one slot. Remember that she had given bulk dates to Shankar and had to say no to offers that came her way in Telugu.

A.R Rahman's music is already a hit and as industry watchers feel Shankar-Rahman combination will grow on you only after the release.

Sivaji – Why May 31st was chosen?

What was touted to be the grand summer treat of Tamil cinema will now manage to scorch the screens only when the summer descends. But who cares, for whatever time of the year Sivaji is worth more than a watch. May 31st stands the official release date of Sivaji, as per the announcement by AVM. Much thought seems to have been given before the declaration of the release date. Here is how.

Earlier it was speculated that Sivaji would hit the screens on the 17th of May. It is a Thursday, which Rajini is fond of; besides 8 (a sum of 1+7) happens to be Shankar's lucky number. However, the news turned out to be just that, speculation. For Sivaji is still being given final touches and a release date of 17th May is just an unachievable task. As a result, AVM started pondering over the thought of fixing the release date by the end of May. May 26th was considered for the '8' factor but was later rejected since it falls on a Saturday and not Thursday.

Subsequently, May 31st had all the factors the crew was just looking for. The day – Thursday – the numerological count '8' (May 31st is incidentally 17th of the Tamil month Vaigasi) and a full moon day. Eureka, cried everyone. What more can one ask for? As for us, our crossed fingers will unfurl on May 31st.

'Sivaji' songs rule Tamil charts
Aparna Nath [Tuesday, May 15, 2007]

Chennai, May 15 (IANS) With no impressive releases in the last couple of weeks, the Tamil audio list remains the same. Though not a great album by A.R. Rahman's standards, 'Sivaji' is still a big hit.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. 'Sivaji' - Music Director: A.R. Rahman. The song introducing Rajnikant and sung by S.P. Balasubramaniam, Rehanah Benny and chorus is creating a buzz among the actor's fans. But the pick of the album is 'Sahara pookal', a melody rendered beautifully by Vijay Yesudas and Gomathishree.

2. 'Unnale Unnale' - Music Director: Harris Jayaraj. 'June ponna' sung by Krish and Arun is still the favourite. Yet another hit album from Harris Jayaraj.

3. 'Mozhi' - Music Director: Vidyasagar. Vidyasagar's best album continues its dream run. You will never get tired of listening to Sujatha and Balram's rendition of 'Kaatrin mozhiye'.

4. 'Chennai 600028' - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film's surprise box office success has helped the album sales.

5. 'Naan Avan Illai' - Music Director: Vijay Antony. There is nothing great about the album but the film's success has helped it. The song 'Ean enakku' rendered by Jayadev and Sangeeth Rajeswaran is doing quite well.

Normally, being a ARR fan, I wouldn't write reviews on his albums right after it's release. I know, like many other ARR fans, that it takes a while before you start liking it and Shivaji is no exception.
Shivaji is certainly not a classy stuff from the ARR music factory but it will surely meet the bar of Shankar formula + Rajini style no ends.

#1. Sooriyanaum Santhiranum - Looks obvious that this is going to be the intro song of the movie. SPB's voice is great as usual but the song is just OK. [I would prefer a "Oru Oruvan Mudhali" kind vs. this one].Bbut I guess Rajini fans need a more peppy one at that, I guess! ARR has apparently come "out of his style" to compose this song to suit Rajini. It's nostalgic to hear the voice of SPB, the legend that he is!

#2. Vaaji Vaaji - This foot tapping number is already a rage! Thanks to the peppy beat and the stunning voices of Hariharan/Madhushree - to me this is easily the best song of this album! Hariharan's voice is a bonus!

#3. Sahana Pookal - Lone melody song of the album. Good one that only adds up variety to this album. And hey for a change Udit Narayan does not reduce the Tamil words to a pulp!

#4. Athiradee Kaalam - This song I didn't like itwhen I heard it for the first time. But like any ARR songs this one grows at you once you start to hear regularly! The guitar ("DON" like music) that ARR sprinkles during the interludes lifts the song!

#5. Oru Koodai Sunlight - this song, IMO, is probably the weakest link in this album. This song will surely and badly need some help from the picturisation to patch up the "noise pollution" it generates! The song has some typical "ARR "touches" to it that makes it adorable in patches. But it's the lyrics for this song that eventually adds up to the cup of woes!

#6. Vaada Vaada Vankikada - This song looks like a "filler" music in the album. Should supposedly come in the background scores of this movie! This is easily the one that could have been well avoided in this album. Not only it adds a crass feel with it's "Vaada Vaada Vangigada... beeda vaangi potukada..." stuff but it also leaves a bad taste! Thank god they didn't call it as "Shivaji's Theme" music!

#7. Sahara Pookal Poo (Part II) - This song seems to be sadder version of the original duet. This song is Ok but still I prefer the original. The only thing that hits me after hearing this song is why didn�t ARR let Vijay Yesudas sing the original one in the first place?

Final Verdict: An album that is clearly targeted to meet Shankar's formula + Rajni's fans expectations. As an ARR fan, I'm satisfied with the album as well - though not necessarily classy it's certainly flashy and trendy!

Not sure whether he was kidding or not, but I got my ticket booked for that day. I'll see whether the film's worth watching or not.

Trouble likely for Sivaji in Karnataka
The release of Rajnikanth's Tamil film Sivaji in Karnataka on May 31 may run into hurdles as some pro-Kannada organisations in the state have decided to block all Tamil releases until the Cauvery river water issue is resolved.

The organisations include the powerful Karnataka Rakshana Vedike headed by Narayana Gowda, a faction of Dr Raj Kumar fans association and some other fringe Kannada bodies.

They are planning agitations to block the simultaneous release of Tamil films in Karnataka; though they have not mentioned the names of films, the Rajni starrer may be the first victim.

The ruling party coalition in the state has not reacted to this move by the pro-Kannada organisations.

Though it is still not officially known whether H D Gangaraj, former president of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce and a Congress party member turned distributor, will be distributing Sivaji, it is rumoured that the film's distribution rights have been sold to Karnataka for a huge amount, which also includes the cost of acquiring the rights of the Telugu dubbed version.

Surprisingly, producer Sa Ra Govindoo, president of Dr Raj Kumar fans association, who is also the vice president of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, has remained silent though he is perceived to be close to Gangaraj.
Rajnikanth's previous films like Chandramukhi and Baba were sold to Gangaraj for Rs 2.20 crore and Rs 1.90 crore respectively.

In 1992, producer S Ramanathan sold the distribution rights of his film Dharma Dorai in Karnataka for only Rs 4.35 lakh. The film did business of over Rs 10 lakh in the entire state.

But today, it is a different scenario. Rajni's films are screened in every nook and corner of Karnataka, so the latest move by pro-Kannada organisations may come as a blow to the distributors as well as the fans.

"வசூலில் பங்கு :: தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் நிபந்தனை !!!

தியேட்டர் வசூல் பங்கு அடிப்படையில்தான் சிவாஜி படத்தை திரையிடுவோம் என்று தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் நிபந்தனை விதித்துள்ளனர்
தமிழ்நாடு திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கத்தின் செயற்குழு கூட்டம் தலைவர் இராம.மு.அண்ணாமலை தலைமையிலும், பொதுச் செயலாளர் ஆர்.பன்னீர் செல்வம் முன்னிலையிலும் நடந்தது.

கூட்டத்தில் நிறைவேற்றப்பட்ட தீர்மானங்கள்:

தமிழ் திரைப்படத் துறையில் தற்போதுள்ள எம்.ஜி(மினிமம் கியாரண்டி) எப்.எச்(பிக்சட் ஹையர்) முறைகளால் தியேட்டர்களுக்கு நஷ்டம் ஏற்படுகிறது. எனவே இனி சதவிகித அடிப்படையில் வசூலில் பங்கு வேண்டும் என ஒப்பந்தம் போட முடிவு செய்துள்ளோம்.

தமிழக அரசின் ஆணைப்படி தியேட்டர் கட்டணங்களை நடைமுறைபடுத்த வேண்டும். கட்டணம் குறித்து விண்ணப்பிக்கும் தியேட்டர்களுக்கு உடனடியாக அனுமதி வழங்க வேண்டும்.

திரைப்பட கருவி இயக்குபவர்களுக்கு கடந்த 4 வருடங்களாக ஆபரேட்டர் உரிமத் தேர்வு நடத்தாததால் ஆபரேட்டர்கள் கிடைப்பது அரிதாக உள்ளது. இதனால் பலருக்கு வேலை வாய்ப்பு கிடைக்காமல் இருக்கிறது. எனவே ஆபரேட்டர் உரிம தேர்வு நடத்தி பலருக்கு வேலை வாய்ப்பு வழங்க வேண்டும் என்று அரசை கேட்டுக் கொள்வது.

மேற்கண்ட தீர்மானங்கள் நிறைவேற்றப்பட்டது.

பின்னர் நிருபர்களுக்கு பேட்டியளித்த சங்கத்தின் தலைவர் அண்ணாமலை "சதவிகித அடிப்படையில் வசூலில் பங்கு வாங்கி படங்களை திரையிடுவது ஏற்கெனவே நடைமுறையில் இருந்த ஒன்றுதான். எம்.ஜி, எப்.எச் முறையில் தியேட்டர்கள் பெரும் நஷ்டத்தை சந்தித்து வருவதால் இந்த முடிவை எடுத்துள்ளோம். "சிவாஜி" உள்ளிட்ட பெரிய படங்களுக்கும், சிறிய பட்ஜெட் படங்களுக்கும் இந்த முடிவு பொருந்தும்" என்றார். "
