Opting for a different name for the show as Sivaji was already an established name for Style, Rajini continued to be a normal artist, until Ameer Jhan found an interesting skill set in Rajini outside the filming area. He immedately informed it to K Balachander, and the title screen in the movie 'Moondru Mudichi' established the new version of Style, a parrallel to the legendary style icon Sivaji himself, Rajini.
"There is an artist. Inside him, there is an actor. Above these, there is a Star. Empowering them all, there is the Phenomenon. Summing-up, you get Rajini." - Yugi Sethu about Rajini. He recollects Moondru Mudichi film shoot to valorise his definition about Rajini, accolading the identifying master K Balachandar. Yugi narrates - "Rajini gets down the stairs. When the director pronounced a re-take, Rajini just marched backwards, mounting the stairs in the same elegant style & speed. Impressed, the director changed the shot by directing it to the opposite of what was initially conceived, making Rajini go up the stairs rather than getting down the normal way. When the cut was announced, Balachander assured and congratulated the apologetic young artist that whatever Rajini does naturally, is Style."
The above illustration presents itself in the song sequence 'Naan Oru Katha Nayaki'. The movie also has some great shots over stairs where Rajini carries them all differently, in his unique Style.
