  Thalaivar's History
  
  Rajini, the real mantra of Tamil Nadu. There are fan associations across Tamil Nadu dedicated to him. Many more than for any other Tamil star, past or present. Rajinikanth, the carpenter-turned-coolie-turned-conductor-turned Super Star says: “I couldn’t have asked God for more.”
  
  A bit of a recluse, Rajni may be. But everyone who’s had the privelege of a darshan with the thalaivar has come away with a spring in his step and a warm glow in the heart. Warm, friendly and affable, he’s the sort who deserves all the superstardom he’s earned. Such men, indeed, are rare...
  
  It’s been 25 years, believe it or not, since the Periya Thalaivar (big boss) made his debut with an inconsequential role in a Tamil film. From villain and antihero to blockbuster supernova, the gifted actor has made the most of every outing. And he’s deserved every bit of the success. SCREEN analyses why...
  
  It's a wide angle shot. A man is seen opening a gate, dressed in rags and smoking a beedi. A terminally ill disease writ large on his face. Precisely on that frame appears the Sanskrit term shruthi bedham, coupled with an off screen voice, an undoubtedly inauspicious start to any debutante’s first screen appearance, especially in the maiden frame.
  
  The film was Apoorva Raagangal (1975). The film itself was thick in controversy, and nobody took notice of the young newcomer, who was on screen barely for fifteen minutes, muttered a few apologetic words to the wronged woman and ultimately died an unsung, unheroic death.
  
  No one in the audience, even in his wildest imagination, would have thought this nondescript man, who had won the least attention in the film would ever win over millions of hearts in Tamil Nadu. Or ride the state like a colossus. Or even that his sway over the masses would be so intense that he could rewrite the fate of Tamil Nadu politics, exactly two decades after the release of his first film.
  
  K Balachander, the director who has an uncanny knack of creating stars, first met Rajnikant at the film institute, where he was a student. Balachander glanced at the dark young man and crisply asked him to meet him in his office the next day. When Rajnikant walked into his office gingerly, Balachander informed him he was going to act in his next film. Overwhelmed by the sudden offer from a ‘big’ director, Rajnikant just could not believe his ears. It’s a feeling Rajni still recounts whenever in the mood of reminiscence.
  
  Later, Balachander confided in his close friend and associate Ananthu, “Watch out! There is a fire in the young man’s eyes. One day he will take Tamil Nadu by storm.” How true the prediction turned out!
  
  Producers went all out to capitalise on this new “wonder” called Rajnikant, and a string of films projecting him as an anti-hero, with all his stylish mannerisms in full swing, were released in quick succession. Gayathri had him shooting blue films of his wife without her knowledge, Bhairavi, Shankar Salim Simon and the like. Rajni had, by now, become an indisputable star in his own right, a force to reckon with.
  
  Though Rajnikant persistently refers to K Balachander as his “guru”, it was director SP Muthuraman who actually revamped Rajni’s image entirely. Muthuraman first experimented with him in a positive role in Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri, as a villain in the first half and a refined man in the second, accepting a woman with a child ditched by her lover. The success of Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri prompted SPM to make a mushy melodrama with Rajni as a hero sacrificing everything for his siblings, a role ideally tailormade for Sivaji Ganesan! That film was Arulirunthu Arupathu Varai, in which Rajni’s mannerisms were totally missing and he even appeared as an old man in the last few frames. Even while the film was in the making, Rajni had misgivings about whether the audience would accept him in tear jerkers of this kind. But the film got made and its box-office success made Rajni popular among women audiences, too. These two films were a turning point in Rajni’s career — he changed from an actor who merely enthralled the audiences, to one who also made them weep. The acceptance of Rajni sans his mannerisms proved he’d at last become an actor from a star. Around this time came Mullum Malarum, directed by J Mahendran, which established Rajni as a hero with a slight tinge of the negative.
  
  Rajnikant’s entry may have been humble, in an insignificant role but the success he achieved in a very short span was unimaginable. A popular Tamil magazine brought out a special supplement at a time when his still on the make, and, he presto, the magazine’s sales doubled with that issue alone.
  
  Such mass adulation, the thunderous rain of applause when Rajni delivered his lines, all put together, made him a phenomenon. It was at this point that Rajni realised the onus had been thrust on him. The fate of producers hinged on him alone. This sudden exposure to the glare of the media and the popularity and money he never imagined would be his, created a lot of stress in his mind. At that crucial time in his career when his market price had just begun to zoom, he decided to opt out of films completely, sending shock waves to his fans. Balachander, Kamalhaasan and his other well-wishers somehow, coaxed him into staying on.
  
  The second phase of his life started with K Balaji’s Billa, a superhit disproving the canard spread by detractors that Rajnikant was “finished”. He was accepted as a full-fledged hero. Billa was followed by a row of hits like Pokkiri Raja, Thanikkattu Raja, Naan Mahaan Alla and the all-important Moondru Mugham, in which Rajni essayed a triple role. Even two decades after its release, the last continues to be a box-office draw and Rajni’s fans can never tire of the thalaivar’s verbal clash with villain Senthamarai. K Balachander’s first home production, Nettrikkam proved to be yet another milestone in Rajni’s career.
  
  An analysis of Rajni’s career graph shows a remarkable absence of fits and starts. It has been a slow and steady rise to the very top. As Rajni sings in a hit song from Badshah, a man’s life may be divided into eight divisions. Rajni’s own career may be divided into three segments. The first as a villain, the second as a hero with negative traits, and the third and present phase, as the reigning czar of Tamil filmdom. With Rajni’s films fetching crores and his market price skyrocketing, the costs of production of his films became unmanageable. And Rajni has since had to stick to a one film per year formula, sometimes, he could do a film once in two years.
  
  The new trend where his films’ collections exceed normal regional film expectations started off with Badshah, followed by Annamalai, Arunachalam, Ejaman, Muthu and Padayappa. It’s now an accepted fact that only a Rajnikant film can break records set by his own films.
  
  As an actor, Rajnikant’s greatest asset, apart from his style is his sense of humour and comic timing. Like Amitabh Bachchan is popular for his drunken soliloquies, Rajnikant is famous for his comic encounters with snakes, repeated umpteen times.
  
  In the early 80s, Rajnikant made a foray into Bollywood with Andhaa Kanoon, a superhit. But Rajnikant could not concentrate on Hindi films because he was already safely ensconced down South. He still made a few films in Hindi, to mention specially Chaalbaaz which had Sridevi in a dual role. Rajni also enjoys a special kind of popularity in Telugu films and his Peddarayudu (remake of Tamil hit Nattammai) seems to have broken all previous records. The Telugu version of Padayappa has been a money-spinner, too. Rajnikant became a trendsetter recently with his Muthu and its songs becoming a rage in Japan and now, Padayappa running to packed houses in the UK and USA.
  
  Basically a religious person, Rajnikant has always owned up his faith. “I was brought up by the Ramakrishna Mission and it’s from there that I have inherited this religious frame of mind,” he keeps saying. Even his films have him openly sharing his faith. In Arunachalam he mouths that famous line, “God decides and Arunachalam executes it.” His public meetings are always spiced with humour and embellished with anecdotes from mythology.
  
  Married to Lata, an English literature graduate, hailing from an elite Iyengar family in 1980, Rajni has two daughters who are carefully kept away from the limelight. Lata herself a versatile singer, now runs a school called The Ashram. The couple indulges in a lot of charity, the latest being converting his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam into a charitable trust to help the poor and needy.
  
  Ego and starry airs are unknown to Rajnikant. During breaks he hardly ever rushes to his air-conditioned makeup room. Instead, he prefers to sleep on the sets, even without a pillow, merely covering his eyes with a wet cloth. He never comes to functions with a retinue behind him and even prefers to drive his own car.
  
  Rajnikant’s phenomenal success and his sway over the masses make people speculate whether he will follow the footsteps of the late MGR and enter politics. Though there has been a lot of pressure on him to enter politics by the likes of actor turned journalist, Cho Ramaswamy (“Rajnikant is the best choice for chief ministership because he has a basic integrity and simplicity, a quality which is very rare these days”) Rajnikant has persistently maintained a diplomatic silence, except for the fact that he openly supported the ruling DMK in the last assembly elections and discreetly in the recent Lok Sabha elections. When pressed, Rajnikant answers in his own inimitable style, “Yesterday I was a conductor, today I’m a star, tomorrow what I’ll be only He knows!”
  
  A bit of a recluse, he may be at heart, but everyone who’s had the privilege of a darshan with the thalaivar has come away with a spring in his step, and a warm glow in his heart. Warm, friendly and affable, he’s the sort who deserves all the superstardom he’s earned. Such men, indeed, are rare.

  NTR!
  
  Siva is kavithaalaya movie directed by ameerjohn! May be a Balachander asst. Sort of unbelievable story and very poorly directed for whatever reason.
  
  It is about a revenge story.
  
  The best part of that movie is songs and the romantic scenes between rajni and shobana! That was hilarious!
  
  Here is a dialog I remember,
  
  "eathAvathu saththam pOtta unna kadichE thinnuduvEn"- shobanaa will tell rajni!

  BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES !!
  
  http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2006/03/blog-post_29.html
  
  Rajini followed some of the best management practices in the recent projects.
  
  In BABA, Rajini did not delegate the tasks.
  He tried to manage the production, story, direction & action too.
  Rajini followed the traditional way of making movie.
  
  Nowadays, the movie production is a very big project.
  You can not continue the Devar way to manage these projects.
  You need to adopt Professional Management Practices.
  
  Rajini changed and did follow the best management practices
  in the Chandramukhi project.
  
  In Chandramukhi, Rajini choose the best professionals to manage the tasks. He empowerd them; gave autonomous; held them accountable;
  
  P.Vasu was empowered with the direction task.
  So, P.Vasu realised that if the project fails, he will be held responsible. If it succeeds, P.Vasu will get the credit.
  It worked very well.
  
  In Hollywood, the projects are professionally managed.
  In Kodambakkam, Rajini introduced the professional management.
  
  In Chandramukhi, Rajini gained hands-on experience in management.
  
  Rajini contiunes the best management practices in his next project Sivaji.
  
  With the success of Sivaji, Rajini will emerge as
  the best, effective executive in management.
  
  That is what they teach you at Harward.
  
  Rajini would not have gained all these valuable experiences in managing complex tasks, if BABA had been a big hit.
  
  With the Grand Success of Chandramukhi project,
  people have greater respects for Rajini.
  The level of confidence also have increased.
  
  With the success of Sivaji, People will confidently give their
  vote for Rajini's Leadership.
  
  ...co-production SP.Muthuraman. That is Rajini's way of saying "Thanks".

  Rajni to speak German, Turkish!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 30 March , 2006, 18:56
  
  Sanjay Wadhwa the overseas distributor of Rajnikanth’s Chandramukhi has done the impossible. He has successfully sold to the Cologne based ‘Rapid Eye’, the German and Turkish dubbing rights of Chandramukhi which will be screened in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Turkey!
  
  Chandramukhi is the first ever Tamil film to be dubbed into German and Turkish. Earlier Karan Johar’s Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham was dubbed into German and Turkish and it was a huge success.
  
  Remember that it will be 100 percent white German audience who do not understand English or Hindi who will be watching and enjoying our superstar Rajnikanth as a psychiatrist!
  
  They are surely going to say- “Achtung….” (The war cry of Nazis which means, Look out! Take care!) Rajni is here!

  Rajini does his bit for a buddy
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, March 30, 2006]
  
  It was reported that director P Vasu, after Chandramukhi and Paramasivan, would venture to direct a Telugu flick starring actor Balakrishna.
  
  Unfortunately the project was shelved and Vasu was keen on commencing his next Tamil venture.
  
  However the director is set to direct a Telugu movie starring Manoj, son of popular yesteryear star Mohan Babu.
  
  Sources say it was Rajinikanth, after his Chandramukhi, had impressed upon his friend Mohanbabu to do a movie with P Vasu.
  
  Vasu had earlier penned the story and screenplay for Mohan Babu's blockbuster Political Rowdy.

  Rajniknath had the Japanese go gaga with ‘Muthu.’ And now, the Superstar will soon be having the German's say ‘Ra Ra’. In a landmark business deal, AP International, a leading overseas distributor has sold the production copyrights of Chandramukhi to Rapid Eye, a Colgne-based company. As a result, Chandramukhi (dubbed in German), will hit the billboards in Germany.
  Indian films have always had a global audience. Bollywood had never taken its eyes off the lucrative overseas market.
  
  Raj Kapoor won over the Russians decades ago. The US and the Mediterranean belt, to a certain extent, has always lapped up Sharukh Khan films with great relish. However, it is for the first time that a Tamil movie is all set to make its entry into the tight-lipped European market.
  
  Chandramuki's release in Germany spells good news for Kollywood and is sure make way for other Tamil films being released in future. Did we Rajnikanth say "Lucka Lucka Lucka?"

  Rajini in the midst of the mentally affected - CINESOUTH
  
  Election time. Rajini has not even cared to meet his loyal fans.
  Being busy in `Sivaji', he has given appointment to meet some
  people.
  
  `Sivaji' shooting spot looks like a fortress built with steel. An
  incident happened here when a policeman standing on duty was
  assaulted. This was how an ardent Rajini fan expressed his anger in not being admitted to watch the proceedings. After this unpleasant incident, security has further been tightened. Rajini has requested Shankar to keep the shooting during the night.
  
  There is a school called `Karna' near the `Sivaji' shooting spot in
  I.C.F. This is a school for mentally disabled children. The tender
  children in the school wanted to meet Rajini once they came to know that he is shooting nearby. Rajini who does not grant appointment to political bigwigs, came forward to fulfill the desire of these children. The children along with the Headmistress Prema and Talalar came to the shooting spot and met Rajini. After spending some quality time with the children, Rajini gave his autograph to them.
  
  One of the shooting crew members remarked that the meeting was like a summer rain in the hearts of the mentally disabled children.
  
  How true!

  Rajini's fame goes far and wide
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, April 03, 2006]
  
  Rajinikanth is a charismatic name not just in India but also in Japan. He is now ready and raring to go even to even far off nations like Germany.
  
  His biggest hit ever Chandramukhi would be soon dubbed in German and released all over the country. AP International, a leading overseas distributor has sold the production copyrights of Chandramukhi to Rapid Eye, a Cologne-based company.
  
  Indian films have always had a global audience. Chandramukhi's release in Germany spells good news for Kollywood and is sure make way for other Tamil films being released in future.
  
  No doubt Rajini's next Sivaji will also see a release in Germany now.

  Meet Rajini, face to face
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Kanyakumari is special; three great bodies of water, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal meet here, the southernmost tip of mainland India. Swami Vivekananda once preferred to meditate here. The place is just loaded with statues, museums, and memorials, from the Vivekananda Rock to the Kamaraj memorial, to the statue of Tamil saint Thiruvalluvar.
  
  Now, less than a kilometer from the Triveni Sangam, is a theme park called Baywatch where there are waxworks to challenge those of Madam Tussaud’s in London, a place where you get a chance to see lifelike images of persons you would have loved to meet, but may not be able to; the list is truly impressive:
  
  Swami Vivekananda, Jayalalitha, Tamil Nadu's present chief minister, Actor Rajinikant, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, singer Yesudas, E K Nayanar, former chief minister of Kerala, Mata Amritanandamayi, and Malayalam actor Madhu. More will be added shortly, and the museum will also be expanded. President APJ Abdul Kalam, Mother Teresa, MS Subbulakshmi, Sachin Tendulkar, DMK President M Karunanidhi, Amitabh Bachchan and Sania Mirza are in the “Coming shortly” list.
  
  Sunil Kandallore is the sculptor of these waxworks; he works from Kayamkulam, in Alleppey district, Kerala. Each statue is made of wax only, and costs over Rupees two lakhs to make.

  I'll get a chance to act with Rajini: Trisha
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Trisha is one of the top stars in the Tamil and Telugu film world. But she has a desire which is yet to be fulfilled. She is waiting for a chance to act with Rajinikanth. “There are still many more years for me in the Tamil film world. I am confident that I will get a chance to act with Superstar. As of now, I am acting in Something Something Unakkum Enakkum and have agreed to work with Vikram in Bheema. After Saami I am pairing up with Vikram again in Bheema. I am waiting for the day when I will pair up with Rajinikanth,” says Trisha. All the best, Trisha!

  Yes, it was great disappointment to me too. The story line(pre-independence) was not that much impressive. But very good songs.

  Maaveran
  Uzhaipali
  Kodi Parakkuthu

  Chandramukhi 365th day celebrations at Shanthi Theatre!!
  April 09, 2006
  
  http://www.behindwoods.com/features/Gallery/events/Photos/rajini-fans/index.html
  
  There can be only one Superstar and he has proved himself again and again that in terms of mass appeal, he has no peer. When his detractors wrote him off after Baba, he rose like the proverbial Phoenix and challenged that Chandramukhi would erase all the bad memories. He kept his word and Chandramukhi became the thumping success which galvanized Tamil cinema back to good health. In this era of DVDs, when family outings to movie theatres have almost vanished, the film has been grossing record collections well past the silver jubilee. To express their happiness over the outcome, the LIC unit of Rajini fans’ club organized a function at Shanthi Theatre.
  
  The event had been entirely got up by the fans themselves after consulting Sathyanarayana, Secretary of the All India Association and Rajini’s man Friday who conveyed the green signal. They also sought permission from Ramkumar of Sivaji Productions. He agreed but could not attend the function as he is abroad. In his place, the managing partner of Sivaji Productions, Giri. Shanmugam attended.
  
  Mr. Sridhar of LIC Unit Rajini Fans Club and Gurusrinivasan of Vaaniyambadi had taken the initiative and and the event was the result of their untiring efforts. The whole show was simple but striking. It was a spontaneous outpouring of affection for the star. Usually, the heroes prop up the events organized by their fan clubs in order to get mileage, but Rajini always insists that his fan clubs should contribute to social causes and does not like too much attention on himself. Yet, with a modest budget, this event celebrating the 365-day non-stop run of Chandramukhi had several aspects of a typical Rajini fan celebration.
  
  The main guest was the young hero, Chithiram Pesuthadi Narain. He was quite awed by the fan frenzy for the Superstar. He was presented with a shield with the Superstar in a stylish pose with the caption – One year. Narain said, ”Rajini is an inspiration to many of the younger generation like me. We have to learn a lot from him. My fervent wish is to meet him and seek his blessings. I am very thankful to the fans for inviting me to this joyous occasion”. Giri. Shanmugam was obviously pleased and said,” Chandramukhi has created a new benchmark for Tamil films which can be bettered only by another Rajini film. I am sure, Sivaji, will have a run for not just 365 but 730 days”. There was thunderous applause when he told this. Narain also felicitated Venugopal, the manager of Shanthi theatre.
  
  The function was headed by N.Ramdas of All India Rajini Fans Association and other guests included D.Gurusrinivasan and Bhoominathan. The latter, who is the Secretary of Sivaji Fans Club proposed the vote of thanks.
  
  There were plenty of festivities in the form of kolattam and other folk dances at the venue. A huge 10,000 wala was set off before the function started. Every time Rajini’s name was mentioned by a speaker there were whistles and claps which brought the roof down. Chosen songs from Rajini’s earlier films were played at the theatre and a special screening of the Chandramukhi with “Repeat” songs has been planned for the day as well.
  
  Earlier, five fans from Trichy had completed their journey by cycle from Trichy to Chennai for attending the function while 70 others from Trichy had come by a special bus. They were received by local fans with jubilation.
  
  On the whole the event which lasted for about 100 minutes was a tribute not only to the enduring charisma of the man but also reinforced the belief that come what may, Rajini fans will always have a unique style of showing their respect and anbu for their thalaivar. May God give them many more opportunities to do this
  _____________________________________________________
  
  CONGRATULATIONS to everybody involved in the movie, and most importantly, to Thalaivar !!!

  Chandramukhi: Happy first birthday!
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Sivaji Productions Ltd. created Chandramukhi which was released one year ago. Starring Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Nayanatara, Jyotika and Malavika, Chandramukhi has become a really popular film. Chandramukhi with Jyotika and the Ra-Raa song are true hits. It has been dubbed into other south Indian languages and has fared will in all the centres. As all of us know, the film is still runniing strong at the family theatre of Sivaji Ganesan, Shanthi at Anna Salai. It is likely to be made in Hindi with the Big B as hero.
  
  At a time when some films are not running for even one week, we have a true stalwart, a true Chandramukhi, still running strong after one year! But will it break the earleir record of Sholay? Time alone will tell. Galatta.com congratulates the entire Chandramukhi team for this great achievement. Click here to visit the site of Chandramukhi!

  "Kannada Kanmani" Rajkumar
  
  12 April 2006
  
  http://rajinifans.com/Flashback/index.asp
  
  It's really a shocking news not only for Kannada Cinema but for the state of Karantaka state. No wonder if Super Star cancel his Shivaji schedule and move immediately to Bangalore. None other leaders would have such a impact of Rajkumar on Kannadigas. In the last 50 years, he is such a legend, ruled the Kannada cinema by giving just 206 films. When he was completing his 100 films, Tamil cinema had seen the second generation of people like Rajni & Kamal.
  
  As concerned in Kannada cinema, Shivaji + M.G.R = Rajkumar. Being a successor, Super Star always proudly to mention Shivaji, M.G.R & Rajkumar as his forerunner. He has been keeping good contact with Rajkumar family even from 70s. He was supposed to do small villain role in Rajkumar's film. Super Star got the first appreciation from Rajkumar for his block buster movie in Kannada cinema, Andam Moola Saval in earlier 80s.
  
  Rajkumar was a big inspiration for Rajni to make his spiritual venture, Sri Raghavendirrar. Rajni - Rajkumar friendship went a remarkable stage only after this movie. Like Rajni, Rajkumar was also creating waves on Kannada politics. To be frank, there is no opponents for Rajkumar in Karnataka. Whoever the ruling party, has to get the blessings of Rajkumar, no other way.
  
  In 90s itself, Rajkumar took the decision not to enter into party politics when N.T.R adviced him to start a new party. However, he started a movement for Kannadigas and it's still question mark why
  he didn't like to taste the power!
  
  No one could forget the role of Rajni in Rajkumar kidnap case. Rajni wanted to take some initiatives to rescue Rajkumar at any cost failing it will reflect to the tamilians who settled in Bangalore. Rajni himself came forward to help the emissary sent on behalf of Tamil Nadu & Karnataka State Governement. Once he declared that he was ready enter into forest if required. It was because of Rajkumar, Rajni described Veerappan as monster which created waves among the Vanniyar community and rest of the thing we know very well.
  
  Whenever Rajkumar comes to Chennai, never forget to call up Rajni. When he was undergoing treatment in MIOT, Chennai, Rajni went there to see him which was a surprise visit even the staff of MIOT were also not expected. In the last 10 years, Rajni has become the family member of Rajkumar's family and he never missed to attend their family functions including Rajkumar family film functions.
  
  Last time, when i had been to Bangalore for Super Star Birthday celebrations, i got a chance to participate in 'Joogi" 100th day function. Thanks to Raja & Ilavarasan for the arrangements. I've not expected that much crowd for a film function. "Jooghi" had crossed only 100 days and they were celebrating in a play ground like Chepauk. Rajkumar couldn't stand in the stage. Wherever we see huge crowd, people shouting in kannada, kannadiga flag, Rajkumar stills. No other person would be getting this much honour there.
  
  Yes.. Kannadigas are identifying Rajkumar with the state of Karantaka.. they proudly say Rajkumar is the eldest brother of Kannada Ammegey! No one can replace it May his soul continue to rest on the hearts of Kannadigas!

  Rajini sidesteps questions on politics!
  - 15.04.2006
  
  At Chennai’s Anna Nagar, there was such a crowd that one wondered if some political personality was there. On getting through the crowd, the personality drawing attention was none other than a kurta clad Rajini.
  
  He had come for the opening function of the Suzuki motorcycle showroom in Anna Nagar. Since Rajini is busy with his ‘Sivaji’ shooting and hardly makes a public appearance, the press was thrilled and wanted somehow to bring out some comments by him to make the headlines.
  
  In the 1996 elections, Rajini had shown support for a political party but this time, he has stayed away saying he was not supporting any particular party. His fan clubs went ahead anyway and aligned with its favorite political party, without heeding his wishes.
  
  Till now, Rajini has not given any response about the matter except to say that this is election time and he would not say anything. When his fan club secretary Sathyanarayan was asked, he said clearly, “Rajini is not for anyone, nor against anyone in this election. Rajini has decided that his fans can vote for anyone they wish. He did not give this statement to the media. He had sent a message to his fan clubs to that effect but the media made it as if Rajini had given a statement to them.”
  
  The message from Rajini is, “No politics for me. Please leave me be!”

  Rajini’s day out!!
  Behindwoods.com
  
  You will never catch him endorsing any commercial product. Nor does he make regular public appearances. Probably the only kind of promotions he has done so far are those with a social cause, for instance, the campaign for polio drops. Naturally, when Rajnikanth makes a brief appearance at the inauguration of a bike showroom, it sends the media into a tizzy. On 14th April, Rajnikanth was at the inauguration of a new Suzuki bike showroom in Anna Nagar, Chennai. It was only the previous day that he was at Bangalore to pay homage to Kannada superstar Rajkumar. Rajini is known for his travel plans at short notice. One day he would be in Chennai, the next day in Hyderabad, and the third day, he may take a break to take off to the Himalayas in search of ‘nirvana’.
  
  Back to his public appearance, once word got around that Rajini will be there for the inauguration of the showroom, several of his fans thronged the showroom to have a ‘deko’ of the superstar. The atmosphere was charged when he made an entry. Even through the glass doors of the showroom, one could hear his fans hit high decibel, with frantic shouts of “Thailavaa’ and ‘Mudhalvar’. Obviously, they showed little interest neither in the spanking new showroom nor the new models of the bikes on show. They were least concerned even with the formal ‘ribbon cutting’. All they wished for was Superstar’s glance in their direction.
  
  Rajinikanth was dressed in his characteristic white kurta pyjama, and wore no make up as usual. He seemed to be in no hurry. He strolled around the showroom and was seen chatting with his friends on and off. He politely refused to ‘strike a pose’ sitting on the new bike model. However, he spent a few minutes with the directors and close family members and seemed to be in a lighter mood. He indulged a small girl, an ardent Rajini fan, by readily signing an autograph for her.
  
  He said he was there especially because of Mohan Babu, his good friend from the Telugu film industry, and also because he wanted to keep his word, a commitment he had made to the showroom directors, several months ago, that he will be there.
  
  With elections in the offing, every word Rajni utters is likely to be blown out of proportion. Even if he were to raise his hand to wave to his fans, people would look for any hidden meaning. Rajini disappointed the media by refraining from making any ‘political statements’. He said with elections around, it is better that he remains silent to avoid controversy. The only pun he made was on the name of the launch model of the bike. He said the launch of Suzuki’s ‘Heat’ was timely in keeping with the election fever.
  
  Whatever he does is newsworthy. He was punctual, well almost, avoided ‘politically incorrect’ statements, looked causal, and was quick to leave the venue, leaving behind his frenzied fans and the media. Thalivar vazhi, thani vazhi!!.
  _____________________________________________________
  
  Thalaivar rocks !!! I always wished he endorsed products when he was young ... He never did !!! Now he's slowly gettin back to all the stuff an actor is expected to do .... Perhaps it's never too late for anything huh !!!

  Baasha - 1995
  
  If you ask any Rajini fan which movie of his thalaivar he likes the most, the answer mostly would be Baasha. It’s the overall choice of the fans. Suresh Krishna portrayed Rajini in two opposite characters - as a calm auto driver and a don who was the terror in Mumbai. Baasha used his unlimited powers for the welfare of the poor and downtrodden and gave up his kingdom when he had to protect and nurture his family. The two figures of Manickam and Baasha were portrayed excellently by Rajini. The film’s strength is the gripping screenplay without a hint of boredom setting in. So, any time you watch it, you are glued to it. Deva’s super hit songs and Raja’s stunts also helped the movie become a super hit.
  
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  
  Baasha is a movie which I guess is one of the best movies of RK.
  
  I like this one.. esp RK'S INTRO AS BAASHA
  
  &
  
  his expressions before starting the fight with Anadaraj

  Rajini participates in book release of ‘AVM – 60 Cinema’
  - 19.04.2006
  
  How should a book on documentary be? This is best illustrated by ‘AVM – 60 Cinema’ by AVM Saravanan.
  
  The interesting incidents ever since AVM Saravanan got into film production are beautifully described in the book. Saravanan’s father AV Meiyappa Chettiar is a legend of Tamil cinema and his words of wisdom and experiences are what everyone should know. The author has enumerated administrative ability, punctuality and respect for capability as the various hallmarks of excellence of the AVM house.
  
  Rajini welcomed the gathering for the book release at the AVM complex. S P Muthuraman released the book, and Rajini accepted the first copy.
  
  It has been announced that those who purchase the book will get a DVD on AVM as well as 2 passes for the film ‘Tirupathi.’
  
  The last few pages of the book features photos and information about everyone, from directors to office boys who have worked with AVM. It is no doubt that such a wonderful compilation is possible only by AVM.
  
  On the whole, ‘AVM – 60 Cinema’ is a book to be treasured!

  Glad that Rajini was part of this honorary event !!!

  Rajini, Ilayaraja pay tributes to Rajkumar!!
  April 19, 2006
  
  ‘His was a life well lived.’ Very few may be worthy of this eulogy. But, it fits Rajkumar quite nicely. In a condolence meeting organized by the South India Film Chamber of Commerce, several members of the film fraternity paid rich tributes to the doyen of Kannada cinema. Superstar Rajinikanth was the first to take over. He said Rajkumar’s death is an irrepairable loss to the film industry. He also added that Rajkumar won the hearts of the Kanndaigas by refraining from joining politics, in spite of his mass appeal.
  
  Rajkumar was hailed as the ‘MGR of Kannada’. He was known for being a simple man and respected all, irrespective of their social status. Several film personalities from diverse fields, including AVM Saravanan, Muktha Srinivasan, Manorama, Ilayaraja, P.B. Srininivas, offered encomiums to the departed actor. Rajkumar may not be amidst us. But, he has left behind a legacy of films that will stay on forever.
  _____________________________________________________
  
  Perhaps the 2nd line of the highlighted part might be another reason why Rajini likes RaajKumar soooo much ....

  Rajini, Kamal and a 100 crores speculative political deal!!
  April 21, 2006
  
  All is fair in love and politics. DMK supremo M.Karunanidi has alleged that the ruling party is leaving no stone unturned to get political mileage. Having realized that Vaiko is struggling to garner votes for the party, they are now trying to rope in a popular film personality, to add vigor to their campaigns. It is reported that the ruling party has dangled a bait of Rs.100 crores as kickback. Considering the huge amount on offer, there was heavy speculations yesterday that the big fish could be Rajinikanth. However, in a fresh twist of events, Kamal is reported to be the prime target.
  
  Knowing fully well that Kamal’s magnum opus Marudhanayagam has hit troubled waters, the ruling party has used it to their advantage, and offered to clear all financial problems, so that shooting can be completed. Kamal has categorically stated that he has no intentions to join politics. In spite of his refusal, the party is still turning on the heat. It is reported Kamal has left for America, and plans to return only after the new government is formed. However, Kamal’s personal secretary has announced that nobody from any political party has contacted Kamal, and Kamal has left for the States only for shooting purposes.

  Rajini bags Raj Kapoor Award
  April 24, 2006
  
  His ‘Superstar’ status may be his biggest award. Yet, recognition for significant contribution is definitely an incentive to continue to perform better. The Maharashtra Government will confer the Raj Kapoor award for this year on Rajnikanth. The award carries prize money of Rs. 1 lakh, a citation, and a memento. Rajnikanth will receive the award at the glittering State Awards ceremony on April 30th at Thane.
  
  Incidentally, Rajnikath aka Sivaji Rao hails originally from Maharashtra. He migrated to Karnataka and then joined Tamil films. Because of his immense star appeal and charisma on screen, he won the hearts of all.
  
  He developed his own personal style and people went berserk watching his unique mannerisms in every film. He went on to deliver a string of hits. His films became so popular that they were lapped up by producers for record-breaking amounts, soon after the film’s pooja was completed.
  
  The Maharshtra Government award is one more feather to Rajni’s cap. This is not the first time Rajinkanth is receiving an award. He is already a recipient of the Padmabhushan award as well as several state awards, and the Kalaimamani award. The fact that another state has chosen to felicitate Rajnikanth from the southern film industry is indeed a cause of celebration for the lovers of Tamil cinema.

  Why Rajini didn’t attend Chiru’s felicitation!!
  April 28, 2006
  
  Everyone knows that Superstar Rajinikanth didn’t attend the felicitation ceremony of the Telugu Mega star Chiranjeevi. The reason given was that the superstar was busy with shooting for Sivaji. Now insiders tell that there could be another reason for this. Rajini was to preside over the function. And there was another superstar, the Big B on the same stage. Somewhere and sometime during the function, the audience could show their prejudice by cheering one of them.
  
  This could hurt the sentiment of the other. It seems Rajini didn’t want to embarrass himself or the Big B. Good thinking?
  _____________________________________________________
  
  * Amazed at how these INSIDERS could have so many interpretations of a given situation ...
  
  * If their reason is true, it is Good thinking for sure on Rajini's part .... But if not, it's an exhibition of good imagination of journalists ...

  Gaayu Kutti, Thanks for sharing some good things abt THARMATHIN THALAIVAN !! That's a movie which is very close to my heart for many reasons, some of which are ...
  
  * Simple movie, but very good movie !!
  
  * Rajini plays two completely diff characters !!
  
  * The love that Rajini has for his younger bro Prabu who goes astray in acharaceter while at college ... Tries his best to correct him, but ends up givin his own life in the process !!
  
  * The beautiful romance between Rajini and Suhasini in the first half ... Very clean, no duets with romantic scenes etc, but still bery subtle and the love and depression that she undergoes after he dies is heart-breaking !!
  
  * Very very innocent characeter of a proff that has a memory problem, the scenes where the dog chases him with him on his underwear as well as when he goes to somebody's else's house and tries to convince that person that he did not enter a wrong house !!! And then the regular masala, comedy, action, style stuff once the Rowdy Rajini comes in the 2nd half !!
  
  * The songs Themathurai and Muthamil Kaviyae Varuga !!! IR ruled at that time !!!
  
  * Above all, Thalaivar's looks and hairstyle, Goshh, he was so handomse in those days !!!!

  He had a diffrent hairsytle till 1987 or 87 ... And then changed it from Manidhan ... From then to Thalapathy (1991), his hairstyle was the ultimate .... A lot of students in school, college, etc were crazy abt his hairstyle ... It was very famous in those days ...

  Well they said Rajini sir and Prabhu had the best chemistry for a two hero pair....that is why the movie seemed so enjoyable...perhaps them being real life 'brothers' also helps in the chemistry....rajini is a very good actor...but sad to see him go for mass movies...although they were really entertaining than the current ones which are totally illogical.

  When Rajini exercised his democratic right…
  Behindwoods.com
  
  Come election time, there always is a buzz in the media about Super Star’s activities. Which party will get his support, whom he particularly likes, when he will announce his stand – these all become important subjects for the media to do some intense speculation.
  
  This time is no different too. But, since Rajini has already put a lid on all other questions, there was nothing else to talk about.
  
  The only thing left to speculate upon was, will he vote or not? Or will he at least show up?
  
  The question was uppermost in the minds of Rajini watchers as he was away in Hyderabad for the last several days shooting for Shankar’s ‘Shivaji’. Hoping that Rajini would make his usual early morning appearance, all the leading news channels had arrived much earlier at the election booth at Stella Maris College, but much to their disappointment, there was no sign of him.
  
  But, when the media men and fans were about to give it all up, Rajini walked in around 3.45 pm, clad in a spotless white shirt and dhoti, along with wife Latha, in a sober-colored churidhar. His two daughters, Aishwarya and Soundarya, dressed simply in t-shirts and trousers, also arrived following him. Fans went berserk and cries of ‘thalaivaa!’ and ‘Shivaji!’ soon rent the air.
  
  Rajini did his usual ‘vanakkam’ to his fans and to the assembled crowd and entered the booth to exercise his franchise.
  
  Aishwarya’s name was found missing and looked disappointed that she could not vote. Latha Rajinikanth and Soundarya’s names were in the voters list and they were able to vote.
  
  From the moment he came in, the flashbulbs of photographers started popping up non-stop and the press and TV journalists too got into jostling act with each other to get some newsbytes from the great man.
  
  Rajini was his usual calm self and he could barely make himself heard to the media men amidst all the frenzied noise from his excited fans. He obliged the TV journalists by giving them an innocuous quote, “Like Tamil Nadu, I am also expecting the results eagerly!”.
  
  Rajini’s interaction with his fans was only for a very brief time, but still it left the fans in a happy frame of mind. The way the expectations got raised this time even for Rajini casting his vote prompted a few political analysts to wonder whether Rajini would take the plunge at least in the next elections. But then, one should also remember what ‘Thalaivar’ had said once: “Naan eppo varuven eppadi varuvennu yaarukkum theriathu. Aana, vara vaendiya naerathilae varuven!”

  Rajini to call it quits?
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  It is reported that superstar Rajinikanth is seriously planning to end his acting career. He had planned to quit films after the release of his earlier movie Baba. But the movie did very badly at the box office. All his fans and friends insisted that he quit after a major hit movie. So the superstar starred in Chandramukhi which went on to become a hit like no other, running for more than a year. Now Rajini is supposedly acting in his last movie Shivaji which is being made slowly. But rumours are that even that decision will depend on how the movie fares at the box office.
  _____________________________________________________
  
  * I really wish this is Rajini's last movie as Hero ...
  
  * I want him to go the Big B way after SIVAJI .... Play his age and not a typical hero ... But still, a lot of variety in acting and characters to portray !!!

  Superstar’s daughter Vimala Raman

  You will not know Vimala Raman. She is one of the two heroines of Poi pairing with Udhay Kiran, a Balachander movie in the making. Though she has almost completed the film, there are no offers to this good looking girl. Why? She doesn’t want them. She doesn’t want to pair with every Tom, Dick and Harry. “I don’t act for money. I have enough of it. If someone wants to pair with me, he should possess certain qualities. Only then will I sign opposite him,” says this new face.
  
  The heroes she is ready to pair with now are Kamal, Ajith, Vikram and Vijay. Will she pair with Rajini? “Well, I am prepared to play his daughter,” Vimala says.

  Chandramukhi enters 400th day in Shanthi theatre
  May 18, 2006
  
  Chandramukhi started with a bang and it is still going great guns. The film has completed 400 days at Shanti theatre. The management is obviously excited. While any Superstar film has a good repeat audience, this film has surpassed all the previous records. The attendance during the weekends is excellent while collections are moderate during week days. There is much expectation about Sivaji and once the film is released, it would start a new cycle. But, Chandramukhi would always remain right up there on top.

  Chandramukhi: Spectacular 400 days
  
  tamil.galatta.com
  
  Rajini’s recent movie Chandramukhi is soaring ahead on an unparalleled 400 days run today. It is to be noted, that no other movie in more than a decade has run for so long!
  
  Sivaji Productions’ Chandramukhi has truly set an amazing record. It is a benchmark that other movies should strive to achieve. It is also a feather in the cap for Superstar Rajinikanth, and Sivaji Productions. Hope his next venture Sivaji also receives the same response from the public!

  Perhaps, Vikram's response to that blatant accusation is just sooooo IMPRESSIVE !!!

  Vikram also went all out to defend Rajnikanth’s “over stylised acting” to quote Sreenivasan. Said Vikram: “He is a living legend who is the highest paid actor in the country getting nearly Rs 19 Crore per film, with the biggest fan following in the nation. There is nothing wrong in doing roles that cater to the fans and masses”.

  South-Indian films make a splash
  WIDE ANGLE | Saibal Chatterjee
  New Delhi, May 22, 2006
  
  
  
  AP International, a five-decade-old Chennai-based film financing and
  distribution company, is making a fair splash in the India Pavilion
  located in the heart of the 59th Cannes Film Festival’s International
  Village. This is the first time in the history of India’s engagement with
  Cannes that outfits from the south have found a toehold on the Croisette.
  AP International, which has over 500 Tamil titles in its library,
  including super-duper hits like Chandramukhi, Anniyan and Muthu, has now
  branched out into the global theatrical business.
  Represented in Cannes by one of the partners, Sanjay Arjundas Wadhwa,
  AP International owns the overseas rights of a slew of Rajnikanth,
  Kamal Hasan, Vijay and Vikram starrers and has acquired screens in various
  parts of the world – three in Singapore, 13 in Malaysia, five in
  Colombo, one in Dubai and one in Canada.
  “The idea,” says Wadhwa, “is to run Tamil films in these theatres all
  through the year.” By controlling an increasing number of theatres
  worldwide, AP International hopes to streamline the flow of its films into
  markets with a high concentration of Tamil-speaking people.
  These theatres are run by players that AP International has teamed up
  with. “There is a huge demand for Tamil films all over the world,” says
  the showbiz entrepreneur. “That is why last year’s biggest grosser,
  Chandramukhi, not only found takers in the traditional overseas markets;
  it was also sold in places like Japan, Germany, Turkey, Switzerland and
  Austria.”
  According to Wadhwa, there is no star in India bigger than
  Rajnikanth, the lead actor of Chandramukhi. “He charges Rs 20 crore a film and
  his box office power is such that producers have no issues with what he
  charges,” he says.
  The next film on AP International’s anvil is another Rajnikanth
  starrer – Sivaji. Being touted as the most expensive film ever made in
  India, it is scheduled for release in 2007. The film is being made under the
  AVM banner, one of the oldest in Tamil Nadu.
  Wadhwa is also excited about the late Sivaji Ganesan’s Sivaji
  Productions returning to the Hindi cinema domain with Delhi Heights, directed
  by Anand Kumar. Starring Jimmy Shergill, Neha Dhupia and Om Puri, the
  film is currently under production in Delhi.
  Sivaji Productions also has plans to bankroll an even bigger Hindi
  film in the near future. Yet to be titled, this venture will be directed
  by Rajkumar Santoshi and will have music by AR Rahman.

  How a banana forced Rajini to change his hotel!!
  May 25, 2006
  
  Superstar Rajinikanth is a stickler to propriety when it comes to conducting his affairs. He believes in giving respect and being humble. The man recently lost his cool apparently over a hotel’s high-handedness in overcharging him –of all things, for a banana. Rajini has a permanent suite at a prominent hotel in Bangalore where he stays and entertains his old time friends whenever he is in town. Although, such visits have been few and far between in recent times, he has held the suite out of sentiment for the hotel.
  
  During a recent visit however, things went awry. Rajini had had his lunch and wanted a banana. The waiter said that the hotel did not have stocks of any and so bought one from outside by paying his own money. When Rajini wanted to repay the waiter, he refused to take the money and said that it would be added to the bill. When he received the bill and saw the amount charged for the banana because he was shocked to see a sum of 25 rupees.
  
  So much for just one banana. He promptly paid the bill and then asked the hotel management for an explanation. When it was not convincing, he immediately vacated the place. The man who does not mind giving one crore for a cause, counts his pennies just for the sake of propriety. The hotel has lost a good customer just because of its insensitive and arrogant handling of the issue.

  Tamil film 'Chandramukhi' to be inaugural film at IIFA awards
  
  Chennai, June 8 (PTI): Rajnikanth-starrer 'Chandramukhi' will be the
  inaugural film at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards
  to be held in Dubai from June 15-17.
  
  With a gross earning of over $ 2.5 million overseas, the superhit
  Tamil film has broken all records of Indian cinema, an IIFA release said.
  
  For the first time in the seven-year long history of the coveted
  awards, a South Indian film has earned the honour of not only being
  screened but also being the inaugural film.
  
  Director and Board member of IIFA, Ramesh Sippy, said IIFA, which had
  been a platform for popularising Indian cinema globally, will expand
  its scope to include the wealth of the South Indian cinema industry.
  
  "The South has always boasted of excellent technicians, several of
  whom have worked in my productions. Though Hindi films command greater
  viewership, South Indian films provide great variety and superior
  technical expertise and thus, deserve to be espoused to cinema-lovers
  all over the world," Sippy told reporters.
  
  Actor Madhavan said the Tamil film industry, which was popular in
  Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai till recently, had spread to most of
  Europe and America.
  
  "South Indian stars draw the same response from stars globally, as the
  stars of the Mumbai film industry. Several Tamil movies are being
  released internationally and the viewership for South Indian films is
  growing," he said.
  
  For the first time in the history of these awards, 14 South Indian
  films (seven Tamil, four Malayalam, three Telugu) will be screened
  along with 16 Hindi, one Bengali and Marathi each and six short films.

  Excellent Article
  
  NDTV explores ‘The Rajni Factor’
  
  
  Walk on any street in Tamil Nadu, and nine out of ten, the walls will be plastered with a poster of Rajnikanth. Either it will be on a shop board, or it will be painted on the wall, or it will be a poster from one of his films.
  
  The Rajnikanth fever in the state is something that we live with, we work with and simply accept. But for anyone who does not experience it first hand, it remains an unsolvable mystery. How can this man, who is dark, can’t dance, who looks more like a villain than a hero, be a Superstar? That is simply the magic and charisma of Rajnikanth, and that is what NDTV tried to understand in a 30-minute programme, Witness, yesterday. Simply titled The Rajni Factor, a short, crisp show, with quotes from various bigwigs in the industry, tried to delve deep into the enigma called Rajni, who is, with his film Sivaji, one of the highest paid actors in India!
  
  
  
  Khans far away
  
  Yes, you read right. At 16 crores for his current film, Rajnikanth has even beaten the Khans and the Big B, who are said to earn between 7 and 10 crores. For Chandramukhi itself, the Superstar earned 10 crores, and looks like he is the only one who can break his own record. Ramkumar said during the show, “We make such huge profits with his film, that we don’t see anything wrong in paying him the amount, it is only fair.” A sentiment echoed by AVM Saravanan, who is currently producing Sivaji.
  
  “We don’t mind paying him considering the profits we make. In fact, for Sivaji, I have paid him an advance of Rs 1001, and he was bighearted enough to say that I could pay him the rest after the movie is complete and after I have taken care of my business formalities.”
  
  The phenomenon of the Superstar
  
  As NDTV tried to understand the phenomenon of the Superstar, one of the verdicts that emerged was his peers in cinema don’t even think it possible to compete with him. He is the undisputed Superstar, and competition exists only for second place. Vijay, who is at number two and who strongly emulates Rajnikanth, earns 4 crores, a huge gap between the first place and the second. Vikram is next earning 3 crores, while Ajith earns two crores.
  
  
  
  Rajini’s flop = others’ hit
  
  The margin between a Superstar film and any other actor’s film is so huge that even box office numbers are measured differently. While Baba, Rajni’s film made 20 crores at the box office, it was considered a flop by Rajni standards, as anything less than 35 crores is a flop for a Rajni film. While, Vijay’s Gilli, that made the same 20 crores was considered a super hit. In fact, Anniyan, Vikram’s film that made 50 crores, is the only film to have touched the Chandramukhi 50 crore mark.
  
  
  Just a villain
  
  Considering that Rajnikanth is so media shy, NDTV tried to understand the man behind the Superstar by speaking to his peers and family. Dhanush, his son-in-law said, “He is extremely spiritual and religious. A very disciplined man, and it is that aspect I would like to emulate from him. K Balachnader, the director who introduced both Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan, said, “There was something about this boy, when I first saw him, that made me realize he has the potential.
  
  
  His nose, his eyes, his features were very good, even though he was dark. And he told me “I want to be a star, that too as a villain!”
  
  Vikram about Rajini Vs Kamal
  
  NDTV interspersed the show with sound bytes from their earlier show, Walk the Talk with Vikram, who said, “In the beginning, it was Rajnikanth who was experimenting and doing different roles. He was playing the role of a villain, a psycho, etc, and experimenting with his films, whereas Kamal Hassan was playing the romantic hero in all films. Once Rajnikanth became a Superstar, he started giving a particular kind of films and Kamal Hassan began giving different films.”
  
  As actor Prabhu rightly said, “If you see the film Chandramukhi, Jothika has given a brilliant performance, I was there in the film, P Vasu did the direction, and Rajnikanth’s role was such that he wasn’t even there in all the scenes in the film. And yet, it is undoubtedly a Rajni film and you need an actor of his caliber to be able to pull that off.”
  
  Truer words couldn’t have been said! While we leave you with the images (in your mind that is!) of the various Rajni “styles” that is a part of every Tamil cinemagoers vocabulary and mannerisms, here are a few more sound bytes from the show
  
  
  Sound bytes from the show
  
  Kushboo: He is a wonderful father and his daughters are completely dependent on him and respect his approval for all their decisions.
  
  As his co-star, I remember while shooting for Annamalai, he told me that the song we were going to shoot had my name in the song. I thought he was joking, because it is okay for me to sing Rajni, Rajni, but not for him to sing Kushboo, Kushboo. I thought audiences would never accept it, but well, the song turned out to be a super hit.
  
  
  Prabhu: While shooting for the song Konja Neram, in Turkey, it was freezing there. The superstar came wearing baggy pants and a thin shirt, much like a hero and I told him that it is very cold and he might need a sweater. He just shrugged and said no. Later, again I reminded him and he shrugged again. Two hours later, he turned to me and said, “Man! It’s freezing! Pass me the sweater!” That’s Rajnikanth for you, honest and humble, with a great sense of humour.
  
  
  Sreedhar Pillai of The Hindu: The director who direct Rajini’s film should always deliver what his fans like, rather than experimenting with him. For Sivaji, we hope that the Shankar and Rajni combo clicks.
  
  SP Muthuraman (the man who has directed the maximum Rajni films): I really appreciate his wife Lata’s commitment towards the family. Most creative artistes are temperamental, and it was Lata who lent that much needed support, and created a normal family life for Rajnikant and his daughters
  
  
  
  K Balachander: There might be many Superstars in the country, but Rajnikanth is truly one of a kind.

  obviously the previous generations will be better....just like how u cant compare MGR with rajini, u cant compare rajini with vijay!

  Rajnikant rules at Rs 15 crore a film
  
  CNN-IBN

  Updated Friday , June 23, 2006 at 02:37 Email Print
  Chennai: If you thought the Big B was big, here's someone bigger. His last film grossed over Rs 70 crore, but do you know that Rajnikanth gives competition to international stars when it comes to his pay-check?
  
  
  Tamil Nadu's superstar, Rajnikanth, earns anywhere between Rs 10-15 crore per film - that's more than what Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan make put together.
  
  
  That also makes Rajnikanth the second highest paid actor in South Asia, next only to Jackie Chan.
  
  
  Rajnikanth's last release Chandramukhi reportedly grossed over Rs 70 crore in 2006 - this with a mere regional audience and without an NRI following like Bollywood movies have.
  
  
  The Mumbai film industry's biggest 2005 grosser, No Entry, made approximately Rs 60 crore at the box office.
  
  
  Rajnikanth's latest film Sivaji and is expected to bring in more than what Chandramukhi earned. At Rs 50 crore, it is one of the most expensive films made in Indian cinema.
  
  
  The only thing that has been revealed about the new movie is the superstar's new avtar - a trendy new hairstyle in and as Sivaji striking a pose on a motorbike.
  
  
  Directed by Shankar, who's known for his big budget hits like Mudhalvan,Sivaji is slated to hit the theaters by the end of 2006.
  
  
  While the plot and details of the movies itself is a closely guarded secret, the expectation from Rajnikanth fans is an open fact.
  
  
  "We are expecting a youthful Rajni, this we can say because of some stills of Sivaji that have been officially released. We hope he takes good care of his make up and hairstyle," says member, rajnifans.com, T V Sundaram.
  
  The supertar's legendary hits in the 1990's were all rags to riches story like Badshah and Padayappa but after his home production Baba bombed in 2002, Rajnikanth in his inimitable style recovered with Chandramukhi.
  
  
  He went in for a complete image change and played a psychiatrist who cures a a schizophrenic. The movie worked like a charm at the box office.
  
  
  Critics are predeicting a re-invented Rajnikanth in Sivaji as well.
  
  
  "An actor has to do something different in most of his movies. All actors have to. Rajnikanth is also doing it but still his essential approach to films will remain the same. If that is missing then his fans maybe dissatisfied. If there is Rajni in the film then there must be a lot of action and there must be mischief in his character," says editor Tughlak, Cho Ramaswamy.
  
  
  A R Rahman has given the music for Sivaji. This is the first time Rajnikanth is working with comedian Vivek, unlike his tried and tested combination with comedian Vaidivel. This is also the first time that the superstar is working with director Shankar.
  
  
  With so many differences between Rajnikanth's earlier hits and Sivaji producers are hoping that they still manage to strike gold and that will not be different is the box office response.
  
  
  (With inputs from Suresh Matthew in New Delhi and Pratibha in Chennai)
  
  Starbucks
  
  Rajnikaanth is the highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan. While Chan might earn 68-70 Crores (in rupees), Rajni officiaally earned 14 crores for Chandramuki officially. He also gets a percentage of collection.
  
  'Chandramukhi' released in April 20005 crossed 70 crores while most average Bollywood hits around that time--'Bunty aur Babli' and 'Parineetha' managed only around 45 Crores.
  The last movie that flopped of Rajni was 'Baba.' But 'Baba' itself made around 20 Crores, which is not very lower than what the next super star, Vijay might have made for his hit 'Ghilli.'(which is said to be around 25 crores)
  Even if one is to go by what he got for 'Chandrmukhi,' at 56, Rajni earns much more than any Bollywood actor. In fact even more than Aamir, Shahrukh and Hrithik put together. This despite Tamil movies being released only regionally and lacking any middle east audience.
  'Shivaji' is being made at a budget of Rs. 50 crores. and is expercted to go beyond the 70 crore profit that Chandramukhi made.

  Excellent Article NDTV explores ‘The Rajni Factor’ Source: http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-02/13-06-06-rajini.html

  
  
  The following is a small collection of the Rajini's Burudaa List
  
  http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-02/13-06-06-rajini-2.html - frauds that baba collected 20 cr and its flop only by rajni’s standard
  
  http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1206090,curpg-1.cms - tells shares as salary
  
  http://movies.indiainfo.com/tamil/topstory/hits.html (Rajni’s prepaid audiense for Padayappa and Rajni-25)
  
  http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13736924 - this jalra of rajni itself tells the true collections of CM ( truth is out here !!! )
  
  Anything rajni gets from his producer, Don’t call that as a salary. Whatever he gets from his producer is not salary but Share. That’s why its very high. Imagine if bollywood heroes get shares instead of salary, then it will be skyrocketing. But the problem is they are organized, not like us. So there is a limitation for salary. If any movies produced by stars like sharukh become hits, they will very easily cross the previous bollywood hit. Rajni’s last film is not even comparable with last year’s bollywood film.
  
  Last year is the boom where many Hindi films did well, the below article is not correct.
  
  See the burudaa collections by all the attached links, each says a different figure. Why???!!!
  
  See this link (The Final Verdict) the favourite rajini jalra links it says CM collected close to 20 to 25 crores in Tamilnadu theatrical rights. Skip the collections from other states, Audio, Satellite and Overseas right.
  
  If this collection for chandramukhi is a record in tamilnadu, then how come 20 crores of Baba is a flop??? This itself shows how clearly the baba is bluffing. Not only rajnikanth films, his collections also seem to be Myth only!!!!
  
  In 2004, Vasoolraja came 3rd in collections, with gilli autograph in 1st and 2nd place, if gilli is 20 crores film, then surely vasoolraja must be close to 18 crores. This shows that kamal is also close to rajni.
  
  The final fact is, there is no magic in CM theatrical collections, only wonder is that the profits made at other states, overseas and audio and satellite all collected to close to 50 crores. Thatsall. Where as the other films only had theatrical collections. And they didn’t do wonder in other areas like other states, overseas and audio and satellite rights.
  
  Baba is a flop by anyone’s standard, there is no such thing called rajni standard. Sami broke the collections of padayappa. Tenali collections were very close to padayappa collections. Tenali created a record in overseas collections which prompted K s Ravikumar to give kamal the title Ulaga Naayagan. This record was unbroken till Chandramuki.
  
  Between padayappa ad baadshah too there were some films which broke the collections record. Its not that rajni is the only collection king, its just that other actors too have that. So stop spamming that rajni is next to jacki chan ect
  
  After muththu, none of rajni films released in japan, then howcome you can say that he is popular in japan?? Really he has a box office value there????
  
  I remember someone sent a mail telling CM is 30th in world box office hit. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  There is also fraud in padayappa - see the links attached.
  
  Rajni celebrated a function called “Rajni-25’ he himself filled the crowd and shown to the media that the function isa a great successa dn most of the lical vikatan kumutham published it too without verifying the facts
  
  If one or two persons tell lie then you cannot find it. But if everyone, (Rajni, His fans, His producer, His Theatre owner ) tells lie, then its very easy to find the truth.
  
  Finally one thing is clear - None of the links tells that CM collected 100 Crores. This clearly tell that our tamilnadu Media like Sun TV vikatan Mukutham all has no standards or Ethics, and spread burudaas as much as possible……..becos, in tamilnadu, Kekkaravan ellarum kanayans (except kamal fans)
  
  I too like rajni very much, only that I dislike these burudaas.

  Trade Talk: Rajnikanth much bigger than Shah Rukh Khan!
  
  
  
  
  He is a phenomenon and personifies the word charisma. His journey from being a bus conductor in the bowels of Bangalore to becoming the Badshah of the box-office is awe-inspiring. The fire that the great K. Balachander saw in young Rajni's eyes just gets better with age. Nobody gave a chance to this dark, beady-eyed youth with unkempt mane. "He will not last," said industry pundits but Rajni dethroned the redoubtable Kamal Hasan and has been ruling the Tamil film industry for a little less than a quarter of a decade. Today, he's the highest paid actor in the country. Shah Rukh Khan will have to combine his earnings from dancing at weddings, on stage, endorsements and acting to match what Rajni gets for appearing in a single movie.

  even if released, i think baba would have went without any traces there, if released.
  
  there is a trick to know if a rajni film is a hit or not. Even if the film had made a miniscule profits there, then rajnifans .com will post a news saying that rajni's film broke records in japan. if its not even noticed, then they will just keep quiet!

  yup, Rajini helped Prabhu to get more crores into his bank account. Prabhu has already paid back by praising him "without any speech actually" on the 100th day function of Chandramukhi.

  Who is Rajinikanth ? I admit he is a reel superstar... but in reality is he?
  
  The current face of Rajini started in late 80s when MGR passed away. He started to take up the role of MGR in the big screen and included (by directors ??) scenes like helping poor, daily wage worker, etc. But did he in reality ? MGR did all such scenes because he wasnt doing only in the reel but also in real. Rajini failed to fulfill all his cinematic dramas in reality.
  
  Rajini started his political propaganda in the early 90s (probably) and continued it until now. His political speech got heights in Annamalai and there was nothing to stop him. MGR did the political speeches in all his films because of the fact that he helped his political parties DMK former and ADMK latter. Did Rajini get into politics by any chance ? I admit that it was exciting when he spoke about all those stories of "a rod being stabbed inside the ground and that it is hit on top of head when it doesnt fit properly" at the Kalaignar's some muthamizh vizha. He never made those speeches true. HE FAILED MISERABLY in his political/social life.
  
  Rajini introduced the spiritual concept in his films only in Annamalai. I dont understand the reason behind why he hasnt taken this at the start of his career. Probably, he took the advantage that the people of Tamil nadu are religious and that it would work if he can show himself as a religious icon (hats off, he succeeded). At the 100th day function of Chandramukhi, when everybody were expecting an impressive speech from him on cinema, he turned down by talking only about God. I dont think he spoke a single word when Baba flopped (dont argue that Baba is a hit), what happened there ? Probably after Chandramukhi, he thought that Devudaa is more powerful than Baba.
  
  
  For me,
  Rajini used politics/religion to run his cinema
  Rajini used cinema to shine in political/religious life

  Aalavanthan, your opinions are appreciated. Allow me to respond to some of you pieces. Please forgive me if I am too harsh. But this is how I feel. Hope you don't mind this. I am usually found in Sivaji Ganesan's thread, but I couldn't let this go as I am also a big fan of Rajini/Kamal.
  
  Here it goes:
  
  

  Aalavanthan wrote:

  Actor, supporting his family, some people needing help and fans. Occasionally does charity. Sometimes more than occasionally. Mostly, an entertainer.

MGR did all such scenes because he wasnt doing only in the reel but also in real. Rajini failed to fulfill all his cinematic dramas in reality.

  
  
  He was already doing MGR type of role. Even Kamal was doing it. Everyone was doing it from MGR's time itself. Do consider the then heroes like Jai Shankar and Ravichandran who were aspiring to be MGR type actors themselves. Politics was in a mess when MGR passed away. Not only him, but plenty of other director (like Manivannan, P. Vasu, etc) and actors (like Sathyaraj, Vijayakanth) were taking potshots at politics. Rajini sounded the loudest because he was the biggest actor (alongside Kamal, but Kamal's aspiration is different). Directors like P. Vasu was already writing not-so-subtle dialogues for him (in Uzhaippali for instance).
  
  Did he help anyone in reality? He was not in workers union, nor was he in any political party, so he did not have to do strikes, porrattam for increase in wages and all.
  
  Remember, he is just an actor...and he expresses himself on screen. Kamal has also expressed his angst, like in Sathya, in Mahanadhi, and later in Hey Ram, in Anbe Sivam.
  
  Artistes sometimes betray their outer layer and brings out what is in them. This, sometimes, fan inteprete as 'message'. As a senior artiste, he was ready to deliver these messages.
  
  Long time ago, Kannadhasan wrote for Rajini, "Nattukkulle Enakkoru Oor Undu, Oorukkulle enakkoru peer undu". There is a background story to it, but that will be another day. And many other songs that glorifies his character. (How about, Naan Pollathavan, Poi Sollathavan).
  
  Delivering messages was already embedded in his soul from the time he started acting, what happened in 90s was an extension.
  
  Plus, he wanted to make statement against the then corrupt government.

  Failing miserably in political and social life? He did not have political life. He lend his support, just like people out there who fixed the stage, put up posters, supply water etc. There was no political life to fail. He was heard the first time (First election, when he said that if people vote for Jayalalitha, even God cannot save TN), and then, he said it again, but people were not swayed. So, he stayed away.
  
  As for social life. Someone who failed social life is people like drug addicts, thief, murderers, those who are locked up in jail, etc. He continued to lead an active social life, lending his support to causes (remember Cauvery affair?), to his own peers (the FEPSI affair) and so on.
  
  Summary: There was no political life to fail: He is still a success in social life.

  Spiritual concept always existed. Watching his earlier films, there is always mention of spiritualism. Always, "Andavan irrukkiran". The whole of Sri Ragavendra was a tribute to his earliest guru. Speaking the start of his career, remember the song, "Siva Sambo" in Ninaittalee Inikkum. Just listen to it. Full spiritualism, the loose kind.
  
  During Chandramukhi function, everyone, including Prabhu, kept talking about him, praising him, this and that. And you know who he spoke about? The great late Sivaji Ganesan, the man responsible for Sivaji Production. At one point the great man praised Rajini, saying that he knows how NOT TO WORK. Which lead to talk about spiritualism.

  The opinion is yours, no one can deny you of that. I hope you accept my argument with an open mind. Its mine, and you have all the right to reject it.

  Aalavanthan, your opinions are appreciated. Allow me to respond to some of you pieces. Please forgive me if I am too harsh. But this is how I feel. Hope you don't mind this. I am usually found in Sivaji Ganesan's thread, but I couldn't let this go as I am also a big fan of Rajini/Kamal.

  Hi Groucho, appreciate your response. btw, I am one of those sensible hubbers who figures out the tone of the fellow hubbers. You may remove your header and footer in your future posts and yes, everybody has his own a*****e

  He was already doing MGR type of role. Even Kamal was doing it. Everyone was doing it from MGR's time itself. Do consider the then heroes like Jai Shankar and Ravichandran who were aspiring to be MGR type actors themselves. Politics was in a mess when MGR passed away. Not only him, but plenty of other director (like Manivannan, P. Vasu, etc) and actors (like Sathyaraj, Vijayakanth) were taking potshots at politics. Rajini sounded the loudest because he was the biggest actor (alongside Kamal, but Kamal's aspiration is different). Directors like P. Vasu was already writing not-so-subtle dialogues for him (in Uzhaippali for instance).

  
  Accepted, but nobody else except Vijaykanth and Rajinikanth continued their political thoughts in the cinema until now. When Vijaykanth entered into politics, he became the superstar in real life whilst Rajini stayed at home. All we ask is just take a step and you will be pushed forward by your innocent fans

  Yup, as a senior artiste, he is entitled to look into the dialogues that he delivers. If the dialogues are misleading like the one in Muthu "naan eppa varuvaen, eppadi varuvaennu yaarukkum theriyaadhu, vara vendiya neratthula kandippaaa varuvaen" .. what is he waiting for Kalaignar to quit politics

  Long time ago, Kannadhasan wrote for Rajini, "Nattukkulle Enakkoru Oor Undu, Oorukkulle enakkoru peer undu". There is a background story to it, but that will be another day. And many other songs that glorifies his character. (How about, Naan Pollathavan, Poi Sollathavan).

  and yet he is still continuing "eliyavanga uravukkaaran, ezhaikkellam sondha kaarandaa" Tamil Nadu should improve its literacy percentage so that Rajini can stop singing like this.

  Failing miserably in political and social life? He did not have political life. He lend his support, just like people out there who fixed the stage, put up posters, supply water etc. There was no political life to fail. He was heard the first time (First election, when he said that if people vote for Jayalalitha, even God cannot save TN), and then, he said it again, but people were not swayed. So, he stayed away. As for social life. Someone who failed social life is people like drug addicts, thief, murderers, those who are locked up in jail, etc. He continued to lead an active social life, lending his support to causes (remember Cauvery affair?), to his own peers (the FEPSI affair) and so on. Summary: There was no political life to fail: He is still a success in social life.

  
  Yup thats what I meant by failure
  Do you think that this speech was written over night and delivered. This required a lot of thinking from his end before he could do something like that. If he had so much affection in the state he lives, why didnt he bothered to come out the second time during the election in 2001 ?
  The cauvery affair, to me is another failure. When the entire cinema industry left Madras, he stayed there saying that non-violence rules. And then he showed himself as a maghaan with the white dress, fully shaved head and sat there for a day. Idhai naanga "oora emaatthuravar" enru solluvom I dont want to talk about his personal life as I shouldnt be. But still wonder how Aishwarya married Dhanush who is 3 yrs younger than her.
  
  I meant his social life as failure, bcoz, he wasnt a great thinker, a great decider and a great executor.

  During his initial career, I dont think he had any role to play when it came to cinema making. He was doing exactly what his directors said. The songs you mentioned must have come out from director's brain.
  
  And yes, I was happy that he mentioned something about Sivaji and his productions who brought his life back on track. But he was on and on and on about spiritualism and himalayas.. Is he marketing them or what ? To prove the existence of God, he shouldnt have used a 1 Re. kite in his film Baba. IF you had noted down keenly, he used the concept of "pooja" or "parigaara pooja" or something like that in Baba and failed and I thought it was over. Then came the exact scenes in Chandramukhi with a different set of situations.

  NO director worked with Rajini was in favor of any political party

  Hi Aalavanthaan,
  
  Well, appreciate your responses. Thanks for answering sensibly. Most would get emotional, and you did not. Appreciate it. If we were to go on and on, and then the others will stay away in droves.
  
  All I can say is, you do have some points. Mine are mostly based on what I understand. Because I am a Malaysian, and I rely a lot on what I read on the media, what I read between the lines on screen, and the songs. I am not a great pal of his to know exactly what is in his mind. He is a great hard worker, but not a great planner. He usually responds to what is happening around him and to his emotion.
  
  I am an agnostic, so I don't and will never buy his spiritual ideas. But again, those are his ideas and when something good happens to him through that, he would want to share it with others.
  
  I have a lots of affection for him as an actor. Then and now. Well, that's that.
  
  And thanks for giving colours to my quotes. They look good.
  
  I have not been to Chennai. I am dying to. I've been to Bangalore but I am not satisfied. I want to be in Chennai. My brother was there a couple of months ago, and he told me stories. Great stories. I am not interested in the temples and the tourists attraction. I am interested in the lifestyle, the real culture, the use of language...what is real. There is a tremendous differences between Tamilian everywhere. Its very, very interesting. Especially interesting when your root is there (my mother's great grandfather from Madhurai, my grandfather from Kerala).
  
  I am planning for a trip end of the year. What do you think?

  MGR did all such scenes because he wasnt doing only in the reel but also in real. Rajini failed to fulfill all his cinematic dramas in reality
  
  True. People like sivakumar/jaishankar use to contribute more towards education and other social activities. I think Vijaykanth is doing even today. We have no write to tell that Rajini should contribute towards social cause but he should avoid all these scenes and statements . He should not mislead people like HE IS SAVIOUR OF POOR AND HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN MONEY etc etc.

  SV ,
  
  I think there exists a clear post already here on why did Rajini give back the money despite the not so commercial failure of Baba.
  I remember seeing this earlier here.
  
  Devar magan - Pandian is a dead issue now. Else I will pull back to Murattu kalai vs ur name based movie !

  Despite the thread going on various tracks, I do enjoy it. Very funny sometimes. I said elsewhere (and many have said this) that end of the day, we all go home sore, tired of arguing, and the last laughs belong to RK and KH - laughing all the way to the bank. Flop or not, both make tons of money and are living well, and doing what they can to the filmdom and themselves. Both are prototypes for the present type of heroes (the masala type, the serious type and the masala-serious types). Both also have to be one of the reason why Tamil film industry is still healthy. Both have biggest fans outside of India, and it benefits the industry as well. And a large number of fans, like me, are fans of both. Over here (and probably elsewhere in the world) we talk about RK/KH first, and then the others. For me and my brothers, we grew up watching both first.
  
  Oh hell, we can have our private discusssion on the industry and RK/KH elsewhere.
  
  By the way, that signature of yours, where is it from?

  Yup, true.. I mean we dont fight/argue on whether Tom Cruise has more actions than Keanu Reeves or the other way round. Its just the nativitiy that we guys possess and enjoy.
  
  And regarding the siggy, thats funny. You might have seen the RK v KH thread opened yesterday. Such argument threads were opened before and I wasnt a member of hub during those times.

  Loooong time ago (same galaxy) I was active in this forum (I think back in 2001). Was very critical of the then young actors (you can go to my site and see how I harsh I was), and then, someone kinda masqueraded as me (my username, somehow he found password) and was writing the SAME style as I was, and was saying things exact opposite of what I was saying. It was amazing. So amazing that I stayed away for more than four years. I got back, because of Nadigar Tilagam's thread. Beautiful thread. Bloody informative.
  
  Of course, when I saw your comments my hands itched.
  
  I saw the rise of RK vs KH thread. Did they lock it? Would have some nice (some bad) wits in there.

  Hi
  
  Director called Jayabharathi gave interview in kumudam. He directd only seven movies and doing film with sathyaraj. He recalled that he offered good character in the film NANBA NANBA for Rajini.
  Rajini said "I too willing to act in award winning character but it wont suit now. will come back to you once I get fed up with current characters".
  
  Rajini is clear and he is not willing to take risk and he loves what he is doing .

  For him an oxtraordinary script is unnecessary, Rajini does it on his own.
  
  
  It's good to know Rajni is paid 15 crores per movie which is the revenue other movies earn. I'm uncertain about his project after Shivaji but if there will be one he'll be paid 20+ crores.

  Who do you talk about here? Who made debut at 6? I know where you are coming from. FUNNY. FYI, Vijay and Simbhu too made their debut at young age. The one who made his debut at 6 didn't make any impact, is struggling now since indian. All of you say he gives everything for cinema, is he acting for free?

  If Rajni movies aren't entertaing people will not watch them and he will not be the superstar. We don't live with movies but watch them because entertainment is more important for us, we love to watch his movies with FAMILY. Pure entertainment. I'm smart enough to know movies aren't our lives and we should forget them in few days. I'm not an idiot to pay money to cry, or embarass my family or watch hollywood flicks in tamil.

  All the comments stem from your favourtism towards kamal, I hope there're better kamal fans on the earth than you. Croroes of people loved padaiyappa and now CM because they were able to satisfy the audience who pay big bucks. There was a few to watch mumbai express so you must fathom something here. I'm happy that his movies are intended at tamil audience, not at adult audiences. It's no wonder kids love Rajni.
  
  Kamal, in the name of inspiration, copies all of hollywood flicks and Al pacino's mannerism and acting. People who have no knowledge in hollywood will revel in watching them but we are not. Sincere advice, start watching hollywood movies, you'll automatically start to dislike kamal.

  What do you testify here? Both of them copied, why's there a need to blandish kamal and disrepute rajni? If it's impossible in your territory to give credit to rajni please leave him alone, we are all there for him.

  Rajni fans, sorry for the chaos created by others here and inconvenience. I'm yet to discover the reason for the people jumping on me and will try not to reply to their posts.

  Hows that Annamalai = mannan = maapillai, is it bcos, all are based on challenges (even then, mannan is not a challenge based)
  
  Then all films having fight scenes are equal...

  Kamal Speaks about our Thalaivar
  
  What do you think about Rajnikant as an actor?
  When we were still in our 20s I had asked him why he was so stylised on screen. He said that's the secret of his future success. I assured him that my style would also be a winner. He turned around to say, 'Fair enough. You do your thing and I'll do my own.' Rajni is a phenomenon too. Both of us were young actors who started from scratch. We didn't have fathers to make movies for us. But we had the same godfather K Balachander. It's quite strange, but our paths as actors were always intertwined. We made our way up together.
  
  Are you keen on doing a film with Rajnikant?
  It depends. He said if we do a film together he wouldn't direct it. It has to be either me or someone else. It would be interesting to do a film with him. At the Thenali silver jubilee function Rajni recalled an incident when he was riding pillion on my bike. When the bike skidded Rajni asked if I knew how to ride a bike! I assured him that even if I fell, I wouldn't let him fall. I was so touched when Rajni said at the function, 'That's what happened in our careers. He never let me fall. In 1983, when I wanted to leave everything behind it was Kamal who cajoled me back to the material world.' I guess we'll do a film together. We're worried about the expectations.

  http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-03/22-08-06-rajini.html
  
  To Rajini sir, with love…
  
  Rajinikanth’s fans are quite easily one of Tamil Nadu’s largest and most powerful groups. Recently, his fans went on a hunger strike at Tenkasi, creating a flutter in the political and movie circles. They demanded that Rajinikanth should allow them to start a movement and that he should become their leader.
  
  As per the statement issued by the fans of Rajini, they feel very low without a movement headed by him. Though they feel bad about this fast during the shooting of Sivaji as it would trouble Rajinikanth but they are left with no option. If they are not expressing themselves now, they would never get an opportunity later. They are a butt of everyone’s ridicule during every election. But if the same situation continues, history would slowly obliterate the name of Rajinikanth, which his fans do not want. Hence they need a movement headed by him; they need a permanent address under which they can do good work to the society.
  
  
  This fast is basically to request their powerful yet humble leader to lead them. They also demanded to re-issue the registration number for fan clubs, which was stopped decades ago. They also said that if their requests are not met with, they would fast in Chennai too.
  
  The hunger strike was staged in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Tenkasi. Earlier, a pooja was performed for Babaji’s photo at the venue and the fans observed silence for two minutes for the victims of Mumbai blasts and for the Tamilians who lost their lives in the unfortunate accident in Bahrain.
  
  Rajinikanth, unlike many other Tamil film stars, has stayed away from politics. Despite several opportunities, Rajinikanth has been very hesitant. He has resisted all attempts by leading politicians and his fans to pull him into active politics.
  
  
  Actors who have less than a fraction of a following that the superstar has have contested in elections. T Rajendar, Bhagyaraj, Vijaykanth, Karthik and several others to name a few. However, that has simply not mattered to the man who has captured the collective imagination of an entire society for more than three decades.
  
  In terms of his popularity as a movie star, he is simply the biggest. His salary is bigger than anyone else’s – not just in Tamil Nadu but also in all of India. He has a fan following in every demographic segment. His movies are received well by the young and, old, men and women, rich and poor – there simply is not a segment of population in Tamil Nadu which does not like this actor. Some may not even know why they like him – but still they do. He is the definition of the X-factor that people talk about.
  
  Converting charisma on screen to votes is not easy though. History has shown several popular stars who tried their hands in politics have only burnt it. The great Sivaji Ganesan, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and several others. However, we also know, MGR, NT Rama Rao and Jayalalitha have all had stellar careers in politics as they did in films.
  
  The biggest angst of the fans of Rajinikanth is that they don’t have a party or a movement that can serve to be the momentum-gathering vehicle.
  
  
  They complain that their power and dedication can change the fate of Tamil Nadu – whereas, most opponents who know this, make fun of them because of a lack of official platform. This fast in Tenkasi was to request Rajinikanth to launch one such platform and lead it.
  
  In the current political scenario, honesty, integrity and a clean image is such a rare commodity.
  
  People do not have a role model to look upon. Rajinikanth can definitely fill up this space and can deliver an immaculate government and help the society. But… the biggest question is will he do it? We will have to wait and see.

  I haven't seen Baba. In CM I felt even his voice wasn't that good. I saw it Fame-Mumbai where the audio is pretty good. The voice seemed to be a bit gruff and strained, particularly in the opening scenes (after that I may have gotten used to it). Did anyone else feel this ?

  Yes you are right PR. Even I felt the same way. Actually when I saw it the first time I couldnt feel it. But when I watched it in DVD I felt that his voice wa s breaking down on a few occassions. Even his body language wasnt that impressive But the last 10 mins or so made me forget everything. He was quick, vibrant and awesome !!

  Absolutely correct, in baba right through the movie i felt his voice was breaking down, bit jerky. Not only his voice, but the whole body language thro out the film was not good.

  Chandramukhi 550th day celebrations under Rajini’s presence
  Sep 23, 2006
  Rajinikanth
  
  
  Superstar Rajinikanth’s blockbuster Chandramukhi is racing for yet another milestone in the history of Tamil films. Yes... it is sprinting to the 550th day. Undoubtedly, this is an emphatic victory for any Tamil film. So, it does not come as a surprise when producer of the film Prabhu is keen to hold a function to celebrate its 550th day.
  
  A mighty pleased man, Prabhu told the media that the details of the function would be finalized once when his elder brother Ramkumar returns from Mumbai.
  
  The function would take place under the august presence and presidency of superstar Rajnikanth. Viewers can be assured that the celebration would be a star-studded extravaganza.
  
  This film was released in Shanthi Theatre, Chennai along with other theatres in the city on April 14th 2005. It is still continuing its success streak in Shanthi theatre. Readers may be aware that this film was produced by Prabhu and Ramkumar and directed by P Vasu which ensured fresh lease of life to many artists in tinsel town.

  Dont know abt HAHK. But DDLJ was not just like made to run. I had seen the movie during its 5 th year run i think. In Maratha Mandir it was running in morning show. I went in a week day around 30% crowd was there. Then one more time i went after several weeks in a sunday. 40 to 50 % crowd were there.
  
  The theatre owner was asked by a news reporter how long u are planning to run.. As far as it draws more than 20 % crowd we are going to run the movie. That is what he said. It is perfectly reasonable in my opinion.
  
  Let us back to Rajini movies

  Golden pen and Silver throne to adorn CM
  Sep 23, 2006
  Kalignar
  
  
  In Tamil Nadu, the ruling government has always been patronized by the cinema industry and this has been witnessed over a long period of time. It is not anything unusual when people choose their leader from the tinsel town. Hence it is only natural that the grievances of the film industry would be best understood by someone who belonged to the same field. The recent rebates and waivers from the government is a clear indication of this fact.
  
  We have informed you about the mega event that is slated for this evening involving all the glitterati of Kollywood to felicitate Kalignar.
  
  Huge hoardings and banners can be seen almost all over Chennai. The festive air makes one wonder if Diwali has already arrived. Producer P.L.Thenappan is responsible for putting up most of the hoardings. We have also mentioned about the programme details to our viewers. As cited earlier, the highlight of the function would be the magic show of Alex who using his magical prowess is expected to make Kannagi statue vanish and reappear.
  
  Behindwoods takes great pride in informing first to our readers that a golden pen and a silver throne would be gifted to the CM as a token of affection and gratitude. The entire programme would be telecast by Sun TV in the forthcoming week.

  Rajini floors all with simplicity
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, September 25, 2006]
  
  http://www.indiagli tz.com/channels/ tamil/article/ 25579.html
  
  Rajinikanth is the biggest name in southern screens. But you can't
  get a man more down to earth in the industry. There is a near
  unanimity in this all over the industry.
  
  Recently, Nayantra, who had worked with Rajini in Chandramukhi, had
  dropped in at the shoot of Sivaji.
  
  The young actress was immediately given a warm welcome by Rajini,
  who also introduced director Shankar to Nayantra.
  
  Naturally, Nayantra was over the moon with the kind of simplicity
  that Rajini showed.
  
  Recently a leading English news channel interviewed Ramya Krishnan.
  
  Ramya, whose career-defining role was Neelambhari in Rajnikanth's
  Padayappa, pointedly said that no other super star in the industry
  would have given a co-artiste such a powerful role.

  Chief Minister Karunanithi Felicitation Ceremony
  
  http://www.rajinifans.com/function/
  
  (24 Sep 2006)
  
  The entire Tamil cinema seemed to have gathered in Nehru Stadium just to grace the occasion by their mere star-studded presence to mark the cultural event in the pages of the history of Kollywood. On top of that performances by dudes and damsels of Tamil industry to express their gratitude towards the Chief Minister were visually extravagant and spectacular.
  
  The Rajini factor
  
  Rajini’s speech was received with huge applause making the entire stadium to reverberate with applauds. Rajini stated that Karunandhi rules the hearts of every Tamil.
  
  Rajini uttered that it is imperative to put up with rigorous criticisms and the Chief Minister has tremendous level of tolerance, which has elevated him to this position. He further said that people who seem to be joyful in the industry are not really happy and many of them pretend to be so.
  
  He remarked that every Friday marks the destiny of a movie star. He requested that the offerings from the side of the Chief Minister should be received with wide arms.

  தமிழ் திரை உலகம் சார்பில் முதல்-அமைச்சர் கருணாநிதிக்கு நேற்று சென்னை நேரு உள் விளையாட்டு அரங்கில் பாராட்டு விழா நடைபெற்றது.
  
  ரஜினிகாந்த்
  
  விழாவில் நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த் பேசியதாவது:-
  
  இங்கே கமலஹாசன் பேசும்போது கலைஞருக்கு ஞாபக சக்தி அதிகம் என்று சொன்னார். உடனே கலைஞர் என் காதில் எனக்கு ஞாபக சக்தி குறைவுதான் என்றார். அதனால்தான் கலைஞர் இந்த பாராட்டு விழாவுக்கு வந்திருக்கிறார்.
  
  சினிமா துறையில் இருப்பவர்களைப் பற்றி வெளியில் இருக்கும் நிறைய பேர் விமர்சனம் செய்கிறார்கள். திட்டுகிறார்கள். அவர்களுக்கு சினிமாவில் நன்றாக இருக்கும் பத்து பேர்களைத்தான் தெரிகிறது. சிரமப்படுகிற, கஷ்டப்படுகிற பத்தாயிரம் பேர்களை தெரியவில்லை. நன்றாக இருப்பதாக பேசப்படும் 10 பேர்களில் கூட உண்மையாகவே நன்றாக இருப்பவர்கள் 5 பேர்கள்தான். சினிமாவில் கொடிகட்டி பறந்த மிகப்பெரிய மனிதர்களெல்லாம் இப்போது எங்கே? மாடர்ன் தியேட்டர்ஸ், ஜெமினி, விஜயா வாஹினி, மேகலா பிக்சர்ஸ் போன்ற நிறுவனங்கள் எல்லாம் எங்கே? எத்தனை பெரிய தயாரிப்பாளர்கள், டைரக்டர்கள் , நடிகர்கள் முகவரி தெரியாமல் போய் விட்டார்கள். நான் எல்லாம் எம்மாத்திரம்?
  
  அமிதாப்பச்சன் வீடு ஏலத்துக்கு வந்தது. சோப்ராவிடம் அவர் வாய்ப்பு கேட்டு போனார். அவருக்கே இந்த நிலை என்றால் ரஜினி மாதிரி ஆளெல்லாம் எந்த மூலைக்கு?
  
  பறிக்க விடாதீர்கள்
  
  தாய்க்கு கூட குழந்தை அழுதால்தான் பால் கொடுக்க தெரியும். ஆனால் குழந்தை அழாமலே இந்த தாய் (கருணாநிதி) பால் கொடுத்து இருக்கிறார். இவரை அடுத்து இனி ஆட்சிக்கு யார் வந்தாலும் 2006-ல் திரையுலகுக்கு கலைஞர் அளித்த பரிசுகளை யாரும் பறிக்க விடாதீர்கள். அதற்காக நானும் துணை நிற்பேன்.
  
  அரசியல்வாதிகளுக்கே 5 வருடங்களுக்கு ஒருமுறைதான் ஜாதகம் மாறும். ஆனால் சினிமாவில் இருப்பவர்களுக்கு ஒவ்வொரு வெள்ளிக்கிழமையும் ஜாதகம் மாறும். திரையுலகுக்கு பல சலுகைகளை வாரி வழங்கிய முதல்வருக்கு லட்சம் முறை நன்றி தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்.
  
  இவ்வாறு நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த் பேசினார்.

  'Right Ranga' and the right message
  
  AIDS has been plaguing various States and cities in the country for a long time now. Though there are many factors which are identified for the spread of the disease, an important one is the practice of unsafe sex.
  
  Understanding the need to spread the message of leading a virtuous life, AIDS Prevention and Control Society (APACS) has introduced a cartoon character to serve the purpose.
  
  
  Right Ranga Sonna Righta Than Irrukum is the line uttered by the new cartoon character introduced by APACS. This has been doing the rounds in Tamilnadu from 16 September in various mass media leaving Chennaites clueless as to what the cartoon character was planning to convey. But on 23 September, people understood that it was a tool to spread the message of AIDS-related issues.
  
  Some of the people who had been closely watching the cartoon had their views to share.
  
  Nizammudin, a grocery shop owner, said, 'I first thought that it was Rajnikanth's cartoon film. But when I heard the message some days back, I realised it was a part of AIDS project This is a good form of propaganda as children would love this and the message will be driven home. '
  
  Manikam, a lorry driver said, ' I saw the toon on television. I thought since the local body elections are round the corner, Rajnikanth was telling something related to politics. However, I think it is a good form of campaigning. Particularly when the animation sounds and looks like a superstar.'
  
  Satish, a public relations employee, said, 'I thought that it was an advertisement for a comedy show. But now that I know it is for AIDS, I think it will bring out the desired results.'
  
  When APAC project director P Krishnamurthy was contacted, he said, 'this 3D animation was a part of the State-level Communication Campaign (SLCC) on AIDS. The 'Ranga' character would be used to give guidance for unmarried youngsters, married people and high risk behaviour groups. Though a brain child of APACS this cartoon could be used by other NGOs who are working towards AIDS prevention.
  
  'On 16 September, the character was introduced to the public as a part of the teaser- campaign. The public was also invited to hazard a guess about the 'Right Ranga' concept through SMS. And we started receiving around 18 sms per minute. Now that the animated character has been instilled in the minds of the people, we will start spreading the messages relevant to lead a safe life, ' he said.
  
  For one week from 23 September 'Right Ranga' will be advising youngsters to abstain from sex before marriage etc, from 30 September, messages about being faithful to one's partner would be given to married people and from 7 October, the cartoon would be highlighting the benefits of using condoms.
  
  As a part of the SLCC, messages about AIDS is also being planned to be spread through, exhibitions, street plays, 'Right Ranga Vandi' (propaganda vehicles). A 'Right Ranga' club is also in the pipeline.

  The best show stealer after Rajini, Kamal Oct 02, 2006
  
  
  Fans all over the world demonstrate their affection and adulation, which they have vested in their beloved stars in various ways. They send them regular mails, bouquets for happy occasions like birthdays, wedding days and for success in films. Some fans reach the other end of the spectrum by slashing their veins to show case their hero worship. But the mildest and the most dignified form, in the present scenario, is the thunderous applause from them.
  
  
  In Kollywood, Superstar Rajnikanth and Kamal Hassan are two stars of a powerful calibre whose very presence would evoke a feverish frenzy among their fans. This rage would reach its highest peak when they appear on the dais and open their mouth to utter a simple word like ‘Vanakkam’. Such is the power of cinema in our country.
  
  Hence it came as a pleasant surprise when music maestro Ilayaraja also evinced similar kind of rejoinder from the audience in the recently concluded felicitation function for our CM. The deafening claps that began when he started his speech did not ebb down even much after he completed his talk.
  
  
  
  It was heartening to note the powerful response he received on that evening. Even time is not successful in diminishing the glory of this man who mesmerized people with his divine music for more than a decade.

  Finally Big B in Sivaji? Oct 01, 2006
  
  
  Rajini’s upcoming mega movie Sivaji is in the news almost every other day owing to flash updates about its added attractions and the prominent locations in Chennai the shoots are being held. The hype Sivaji has managed to generate among the public is indisputable and quite unseen for Tamil movies. Rajini’s previous venture Chandramukhi broke all the box office records and has seen a run of 500 days.
  
  
  Shankar has wrapped up the romantic sequences of the movie in his favorite locations in and around Karnataka. Shankar has a thing or two for Karnataka and his movies will always feature exotic locations from the state. He is head over heels with the palaces, the temples, and rocky landscape of Karnataka. On the contrary to his stringent security arrangements, stills from the duets that were filmed in Karnataka managed to sneak into the Internet and were being circulated like hot cakes. Shankar is shocked by the incident and is imposing even more rigorous measures to safeguard the locations and the shoots to avoid any such incidents in the future.
  
  
  
  The duets with Shreya were also shot in international locations in the Europe predominantly Spain. The second schedule of the movie is slated in Chennai and the shoots are progressing. The movie has reportedly been finished to 75%. The other star cast in the movie are Suman – the villan, Manivannan – Rajini’s father, Vivek and so on. Interestingly enough, talks were held with Sathyaraj, Prakashraj, Mohanlal, and Nana Patekar to play the villan part in Shivaji. None of them were ready to don the role and Suman was finally roped in.
  
  Rumor has it that Shankar is planning to offer the role of Rajini’s superior to one of the bollywood biggies. His first choice is Amitabh Bachchan and if the talks fail he will go for Sanjay Dutt, sources reveal. The boss’s role will be shown as Rajini’s godfather who lends Rajini a helping hand during his difficult times. News will soon be out as to who will do the vital part of Rajini’s mentor.

  Thalapathy Sathyanarayan Hospitalized
  
  http://www.rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://rajinimedia.blogspot.com/2006/10/thalapathy-sathyanarayan-hospitalized.html
  
  Head of Rajini fans association Sathyanarayana is reportedly admitted to a Apollo hospital in Nungambakkam, Chennai owing to his ill health. Sathyanarayana is said to be gravely affected by kidney failure and reports suggest that he is undergoing dialysis in the hospital.
  
  Sathyanarayana heads the fan association and is closely linked with Rajini in all the operations relating to the successful administration of the fan associations all over India and abroad. He stays in the Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam of Rajini where a room has been transformed into the head office of the fan association from where the operations were being carried out. He has been hailed to be loyal to Rajini and is treated as a close friend in the circles of Rajini.
  
  Rajini has called on him in the hospital in the midst of his busy schedule and commitments to his upcoming project Sivaji. Needless to say, Rajini has promised to take care of all the expenses relating to the medical supervision of his devoted associate Satyanarayana. Behindwoods wishes him a speedy recovery.

  What next for Rajini?
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 05, 2006]
  
  
  What next? This is a question that Tamil cinema is forever asking Rajinikanth.
  
  As you all know, Rajini is now fully immersed in Shivaji.
  
  This Shankar-directed, AVM-produced movie is progressing at a very fast clip.
  
  But what after Shivaji?
  
  Rajinikanth as ever is very taciturn. He doesn’t spell out his stand.
  
  But already there are many in the industry that is ready with a story and script for the superstar.
  
  One among them is Murugadoss. The diminutive director, who caught us our attention with Ramana and Ghajini, says he is ready with a story for Rajinikanth.
  
  Murugadoss has just come out of a blockbuster in Telugu for Chiranjeevi. His Stalin for Chiranjeevi has been a hit, and his treatment of the script to suit the image of Telugu superstar has won him much plaudits.
  
  Murugadoss looks someone who can make stories for Rajinikanth.
  
  He says he has got that written. ‘We have finished Stalin ahead of schedule. I am planning to direct a movie in Hindi’.
  
  After that, with Rajini also through Sivaji, it maybe Murugadoss turn.
  
  Stay tuned for more.

  The ageless superstar of Tamil cinema is a grandfather now. Aishwarya, his darling daughter who is married to Dhanush two years ago gave birth to a male child at the Appollo Hospitals on 10/10/06 at around 5.30 p.m. Hospital sources claimed that the delivery was a normal one and the child and mother are doing well. The baby, the sources declared weighed 3 kg. Dhanush was beside her during the delivery. Later, Aishwarya was visited by Rajini - Latha and her in-laws Kasturi Raja - Vijayalakshmi. Close relatives of both families also paid a visit to Aishwarya and her newborn. The news is a delight for Rajini and his family. Since Rajini is on a break from his backbreaking shoots for Sivaji – as informed by us yesterday exclusively - he is expected to spend some quality time with his daughter Aishwarya and grandson. Wishes are pouring in for Rajini on the occasion from all the industry friends. Dhanush seemed ecstatic and distributed sweets to his friends to celebrate the occasion.

  Sivaji songs unveiled
  Sivaji
  
  
  Eager to hear some news about Superstar’s Sivaji songs? Don’t you worry folks. We have got news. Reliable, first hand, and scoop. What more can you ask for? Credible sources revealed that Sivaji has 7 songs to its credit. All being pep songs with energetic beats from Rahman, they are sure to propel the movie’s music in the top position for a long time.
  
  Out of the seven songs from Sivaji, we have got news about 5 numbers.
  
  Va ji, Va ji, Sivaji…
  
  This could be the opening song of the movie. Though it was decided earlier not to have Rajini’s entry into the movie with an introductory song, Shankar is contemplating with the thought of reinstating one such song. That could be it.
  
  Unpeyar ennada…
  
  As is the rule in Rajini’s movies, we presume that this is a philosophical number joining the likes of other famous songs of the same genre, which are quintessential for his movies.
  
  Sivaji
  Sivaji
  
  
  Boom boom jee boom ba …
  
  This most likely is the duet song with Shreya and Rajini in the lead. If that is true Rajini could be seen shaking his legs with Shreya either in the exotic European locations or simply in our neighbouring Karnataka.
  
  Talla dimi takka dimi pucha..pyun pyun enna rastina..ho ra ho yenna rastina.. hoo haa..
  
  Didn’t decipher a word of it, don’t you worry or be concerned about the plight of Tamil lyrics in songs. This song is Japanese and will be shot in Japan when the next schedule commences.
  Adaal udan pesadha di.. en salangai ku bhadil solladi..
  
  You might wonder what the old Vanjikottai Valiban song is doing in Sivaji’s song list. We assume that inspired by the hits the remix of old songs generate, Shankar has decided to embrace one such song. This song could be a climax song or just like the one in Padayappa where Ramyakrishnan challenges Rajini with her dance moves, but with the lead ladies.
  
  Rajini
  Stay tuned for more updates and we will enlighten you with more news when our reliable birdie coos news into our ears. Ciao.

  Will Sivaji and Dasavatharam suffer a setback in release?
  Oct 11, 2006
  
  Movies of other languages are not released in Karnataka on their release date elsewhere. The release of Stalin has challenged this rule and is receiving brickbats from the Karnataka film association and its Chairman H D Gangaraj.
  Sivaji
  
  
  In a press release recently, Gangaraj criticized the producer of Stalin for releasing the flick on the same day in Karnataka of its release elsewhere. He also stated that a complaint would be lodged against the producer with the Telugu Film Chamber for not respecting the guidelines.
  
  Earlier, Rajini’s Baba faced trouble for its release in Karnataka on the same day of its release all over. Rajini elevated the matter to the veteran of Kannada cinema Rajkumar and held discussions with him to resolve the issue. Eventually, Rajkumar agreed to the release of Baba in Karnataka marking an end to the concerns.
  
  Under these circumstances, Rajini’s upcoming Sivaji is due for release during mid 2007 and if the Karnataka film association raises the issue again, the movie is likely to face trouble for its release. Now that Rajkumar has passed away, it remains to be seen what will be the stand of the Karnataka film association for the release of the movie. So is the plight of Kamal’s Dasavatharam. Besides, Tamil movies make good business in Karnataka than Kannada movies.

  Always been my argument. People figure that if they don't like the song, the entire music sucks.
  
  I think that emphasis has always been on background score in Rajini movies...that is why you have short songs that serve as potent emotional enhancer during vital scenes. Eg: Vidukathaiya (Muthu) and Raajiyamaa (Baba).

  [tscii]Superstar Became Super Grandpa.....
  
  http://rajinifans.com/temp/aishbaby.asp
  
  Now that Rajini is bestowed with the title of grandfather, the next task remains as to who will name the child. Rajini has been blessed with a grandson on Tuesday, as you may be aware. The entire Rajini household and that of Kasturi Raja’s are in the state of ecstasy following this and wishes have been pouring in for the family.
  
  Rajini expressed his gratitude to the Apollo hospital staff by distributing cash present of Rs. 1,000. He further called on the AVM studio and met up with the veterans AVM Saravanan, MS Guhan, S P Muthuraman and other AVM employees and distributed sweet boxes to celebrate the occasion.
  
  Speaking to the media, an overjoyed Dhanush declared that the privilege of naming his child lies with his father-in-law Rajini. He stated that Rajini paid a visit to the hospital and had held his baby boy for a long time. I have never seen him so exultant like this before, Dhanush remarked. We are arranging for a grand ceremony and my father-in-law will do the honors of naming my child formally on that occasion, Dhanush added.
  
  Fathering a child in real life is a lot different from what you portray the same on screen, expressed Dhanush. My feelings at this moment are inexpressible. I am the happiest man in the entire universe and I feel the additional responsibility will make me evolve as a better man, Dhanush further remarked.

  Apparently Rajini had hurt his one hand and was in pain. Instead of cancellinf the shooting, he had the choreographer (was it Tarun Kumar ?) design innovative dance movements to convert the disadvantage into an adavantage.

  Sri Vidya passed away on 20 Oct 2006. Write up on Sri Vidya and Rajinikant...
  
  20 October 2006
  
  It was 1991. Thalapathi was making waves all over Tamil Nadu. In an TV interview, Srividya was saying that she was very proud of acting with Rajni as his mother. Like Sujatha, Srividhya also become Heroine-turned-mother in Rajni's films. She concluded the interview by saying that there would not any change in the rule of Rajni - Kamal era in Tamil Cinema for the next 25 years. After watching her statement, one of my uncle commented, "Even M.G.R & Shivaji couldn't have a excellent "good bye" from tamil cinema.. how Rajni & Kamal could.". But, things has been changed. Now, we could say that there will be some impact of Rajni & Kamal in Tamil Cinema for the next 30 years, we can sure.
  
  In early 90s, Srividhya would be in news whenever she did mother role in Rajni film. When Rajni was started his career, Srividhya was a leading artist. Rajni was not comfortable in romantics scenes in Aboorva Raagangal. K.B had to go for so many re-takes and only few portions of the same was handled during the final production. Whenever we ask about Rajni, Srividhya didn't forget to mention the same.
  
  Srividhya couldn't forget the role she played in Manithan which got good appreciation among the audience. By that time, there was no one to make a remark by doing sister role. Rajni himself offerd Srividhya to play the same. Srividhya got so many combination scenes in the film compared to heroine.
  
  Peronsally i couldn't foget one of her interview when the Thalapathi shooting was on. By that time, any bit news about Thalapathy was really treat for the fans. Media was not like as today. She was the first person gave some hint about the song "Rakkamma Kaiyathattu" in which she told that Rajni tried some unusual steps in the film which had come very good. Compare to Rajn's usual dance movements in Mappillai, Panakkaran, Dharmadurai & Athisiyapiravi, it doesn't have more stuff but it has come out very well, as told.
  
  It's still a question mark of why she left Tamil cinema and settled in Kerala during her last days. It's really a lose for tamil cinema especially we missed one more personality who was very close to Rajni's earlier days.
  
  Let us pray, may her soul rest in peace.
  
  - Ramki

  Wednesday, October 25, 2006 (Chennai): NDTV
  
  Bollywood star prices seem a laugh as you travel down South where, without fuss and headlines, Tamil star Rajnikanth has become India's highest paid actor.
  
  He is paid more than the Khans or even the Big B. With each new film Rajnikanth breaks his own record as India's highest paid actor.
  
  He is getting Rs 16 crore for his next film Sivaji. That is about Rs 6 crore more than what he got for his last film Chandramukhi.
  
  The math is mind boggling for outsiders. Bollywood's biggies like Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman don't earn more than Rs 7 crore each for a film. And their films are distributed around the country.
  
  But those who produce Rajni's films say Tamil Nadu's ageing superstar is worth the price. Chandramukhi, Rajni's last film, earned Rs 50 crore at the box office, which is a record in Tamil Nadu.
  
  "We make enough money on a Rajni film. So much so that we can make another film. So we don't have any problems paying him this much," said Ram Kumar Ganeshan, Producer, Chandramukhi.
  
  At 56, it is a record-breaking run that seems to be unchecked. Except four years ago, the film Baba, which by Rajni standards was a flop. It earned only Rs 20 crore.
  
  Signature style
  
  Rajni bounced back with Chandramukhi but decided he would cut down on the number of films. What he won't change, though, is the signature Rajni style.
  
  Shivaji is being directed by Shankar, who is Tamil Nadu's hottest director. But it's clear who will be calling the shots.
  
  "Rajni is always afraid whether the director should be able to present him in the way the masses like him. So Rajnikant himself controls the script and directs the film to a large extent," said Sreedhar Pillai, a film critic.
  
  When it comes to movies Rajnikanth works only with the biggest and the best in the business.
  
  "When we sign him on, we are able to cover all expenses. When I met Rajnikanth, I gave him Rs 1,001 as advance. I said I will pay your salary in a few days and he said he will take his payments later after the film's completed," said A V M Saravanan, Producer, Sivaji.
  
  One of the reasons for Rajni's skyrocketing rates is that he is Tamil cinema's lone superstar after MGR, while four to five big heroes rule Bollywood. Realities that even his co-actors accept.
  
  "Finally Rajnikant stands on top. In the film, Jyothika's done a great job. I had a good role. Vidyasagar gave very good music. But finally it was a Rajni starrer. We were all there, but it was such a big success because Rajni was there. You need a Rajni for that," said Prabhu, Co-star, Chandramukhi.

  Rajini gets 16 crores
  
  Updated: 10-26-2006 By andhracafe
  
  It’s not a joke for a regional language film star to charge 16 crores as his remuneration. Rajinikant’s remuneration is that much according to a startling revelation by NDTV.
  
  He has been paid this amount for his act in Sivaji. This is only the official figure and there’s lot more in the form of shares. Gossip mags say that for Chandramukhi he had got about 20 crores. So what do you think, he might be drawing much more than 16 for Sivaji?
  _____________________________________________________

  Chiranjeevi, Rajini in sequel
  
  Updated: 10-17-2006 By andhracafe
  
  Gemini film Circuit is making unlimited effort to rope in and recollect revenue that they have spent on purchasing the remake rights of the sequel of Munna Bhai MBBS.
  
  Even before the stars have announced their willingness to act in the sequels, the public and film crazy junta have taken for granted that Chiranjeevi will do the sequel in the telugu version and Rajinikant will do the tamil version. This hype will continue through out for a long time to come.
  _____________________________________________________

  Rajini shows interest in Munnabhai sequel in Tamil
  P.V. Sathish Kumar [Saturday, October 07, 2006]
  
  http://www.nowrunning.com/news/news.asp?it=8054
  
  Superstar Rajinikanth has been approached by Gemini Film Circuit, which has bought the rights to remake Hindi blockbuster "Lage Raho Munnabhai" starring Sanjay Dutt and Vidya Balan, in both Tamil and Telugu, according to media reports.
  
  This Hindi film is a sequel to "Munnabhai MBBS" ( Kamal-starrer "Vasoolraja, MBBS" in Tamil).
  
  Gemini Film Circuit has has paid a whopping Rs. 10 crore and clinched the deal against stiff competition from other big producers in the Tamil film industry.
  
  When Rajinikanth was sounded by the producers to play the lead role in the Tamil version of the Hindi movie, the superstar reportedly showed interest. And, on his request, a special screening of the film has been arranged at one of the preview theatres in Chennai.
  
  Meanwhile, the shooting of the much-hyped Rajini-starrer "Sivaji" under the banner of AVM, is progressing. Rajini has developed a shoulder pain while shooting an action scene at Hyderabad under stunt choreographer Peter Hayes. This has delayed the filming of the lead to the climax action sequence. Nearly 75 per cent of the shooting has been completed. Some important scenes were shot at AVM Studios. The film is expected to be ready in December and released on Tamil New Year's Day (April14)
  
  Director Shankar plans to shoot a song sequence or a scene in Japan where Rajini has a huge fan following. Some portions of the film will be shot in the US also.
  _____________________________________________________
  
  * Sounds like we have another blockbuster in the planning after SIVAJI !!
  
  * Rajini has a huge fan following in US and Japan - Hmm, are they all REALLY educated to make it to the US ??? Let's leave the US, what abt the Japanese ppl ??? Are they all stupid too, to like Rajini ??? I read somewhere that Japan is the 2nd largest economy in the world ?? Who's massy and classy here ??? I'm missing something for sure !!!

  What next for Rajini?
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 05, 2006]
  
  What next? This is a question that Tamil cinema is forever asking Rajinikanth.
  
  As you all know, Rajini is now fully immersed in Shivaji.
  
  This Shankar-directed, AVM-produced movie is progressing at a very fast clip.
  
  But what after Shivaji?
  
  Rajinikanth as ever is very taciturn. He doesn’t spell out his stand.
  
  But already there are many in the industry that is ready with a story and script for the superstar.
  
  One among them is Murugadoss. The diminutive director, who caught us our attention with Ramana and Ghajini, says he is ready with a story for Rajinikanth.
  
  Murugadoss has just come out of a blockbuster in Telugu for Chiranjeevi. His Stalin for Chiranjeevi has been a hit, and his treatment of the script to suit the image of Telugu superstar has won him much plaudits.
  
  Murugadoss looks someone who can make stories for Rajinikanth.
  
  He says he has got that written. ‘We have finished Stalin ahead of schedule. I am planning to direct a movie in Hindi’.
  
  After that, with Rajini also through Sivaji, it maybe Murugadoss turn.
  
  Stay tuned for more.

  The fans in the US are just our local guys who made it to the US...Rajini obviously has the biggest fan following among tamils,so its not surprising that some of them eventually made it to the US...
  Do u know the movie that succeeded in Japan??? Muthu(dubbed as DANCE MAHARAJAH) was the one...Japanese were attracted by the same massy commercial stuff that tamils here got attracted to..Its not as if they fell for his acting skills..They just found his expressions and dance movements 'refreshing' when compared to their own realistic classy cinema ...
  
  An Indian getting popular overseas is an achievement that we all could be proud of,but saying that its cuz Rajini has class only shows ignorance..

  Actually I read it in an interview by Murugadoss after Stalin got released. ARM wanted Stalin to be made in Tamil first with Rajni in the lead and Chiranjeevi booked shankar after the success of Anniyan. Since Rajni wanted Shankar, Chiranjeevi backed out and commited with Murugadoss for Stalin.
  
  Rajini was impressed and asked him to develop a story line for him. But he must convince thalaivar first before we can presume something will develop.
  
  Also Rajini for Munnabhai II is also a rumor. Kamal is joining with Saran again, probably under AVM but its another comedy movie not Munnabai.

  Mumbai remake fever catches South
  
  Saturday October 28 2006 19:31 IST
  
  http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEE20061028091012&Page=E&Title=Startrek&Topic=0
  
  If Mumbai makers are into remaking their old hits like Sholay and Don, the trend seems to be catching up in the south too. Its now the production house of Balaji’s which is on the re-make spree. And for them, its more of a re-remake trip. For they had already remade films like Don (as Billa) and Deewar (as Thee) in Tamil, with Rajinikanth, and both were superhits.
  
  Now, producer K Balaji’s son Suresh is into reviving his father’s banner which had been defunct for years. And Suresh’s first venture in Tamil is the remake of Kireedam (the Mohanlal starrer), with Ajit and Trisha. And on the anvil is the remake of their own Billa and Thee. With slight changes and a remix of the old songs. Interesting experiments to watch out for!
  _____________________________________________________
  
  YESSS !!! I hope the current top heros in Tamil remake all these old Thalaivar classics just like DON !!!

  Also, the role will suit ajith coz he was good in attagaasam/dheena (He was awful in red though )

  Sorry for the digression guys....
  
  but one quick question for Rajini fans...please confirm this...
  
  "He is a self acclaimed fan of Ajith and Vikram and has told many that he enjoys their acting and styles."
  
  I got the above from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajini#Personal_life
  
  I was thinking that Rajini was a great fan of Kamal, Rajini himself has told and you can find this in Rajini's official website also. Also during the Saamy function he has told that He likes Vijay's, Surya's and Vikram's acting but never Ajith's...(I mean to say that he never mentioned about Ajith)
  
  so what made me put this is pls confirm if this is true or not....that Rajini likes Ajith's acting style and is a self-acclaimed fan of Ajith.

  Boy,
  
  You dont have to post the same thing in all the threads. We guys read ALL the rajini related threads multiple times in a day.
  
  Ajith did not attend saamy function. Vijay and vikram were present and obviously he wud praise just them.
  
  For that matter ajith is not attending a lot of fand the interaction b/w Rajini and Ajith is very little, i think.
  
  Even then he praised ajith's acting in godfather and rightly so.
  
  IMHO, Rajini is equally happy with vijay/ajith/vikram

  Yes! I still remember watching that interview .
  
  In that very first question was..
  
  "What do you think about Nadigar Thilagam?"
  
  Ans "Many call me as 'Style Mannan' .If I am 'Style Mannan' ,then Sivaji sir is 'Style Chakkaravarthi'"
  
  He did mentioned Kamal as his favourite (Kamal is in my list also) currently .But he express his admiration for few others also in other occassions.
  
  It was said ,when he was young ,He was adern fan of NT and Ravichandra ..'Veera Pandiya kattabomman' is the movie made him come to chennai to join film industry.
  
  He also expressed his admiration on people like Chathrukan sinha ,Amitab ,Rajkumar.

  Rajini as Ravana
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 04, 2006]
  
  
  The latest buzz doing rounds in Bollywood is that director Rajkumar Santoshi, who has undertaken an ambitious Rs 100 crore film, Ramayan, has reportedly convinced Rajinikanth to play the role of Ravana.
  
  According to rumors, Santoshi had been to Chennai recently and urged Rajinikanth to don the role. Rajini was impressed with the offer but said he needed some time to take up the role.
  
  The director had convinced the actor that Ravana has been portrayed as man of immense moral and physical strength with a great devotion to Lord Shiva.
  
  However it is now known whether Rajinikanth has accepted the offer.

  Superstar not to act as Ravana
  Nov 10, 2006
  Speculations were ripe that Rajinikanth was to play the role of Ravana in popular bollywood director Rajkumar Santoshi's Ramayana.It was said that Santoshi had personally come down to chennai to meet the Superstar, and described his role in the film.Recent reports also claimed that Rajini was seriously considering taking up Ramayana as his next project.
  
  
  However,Rajini himself ended all further speculation in a press meet yesterday.When asked about the offer,Rajini categorically denied having accepted the role and stated that all news relating him to the project were false.
  
  On another note,the Pune schedule of Sivaji's shooting was successfully completed and Rajini has performed some dare devilry during the final days of shooting.He is said to have made a 100 feet jump,without using any dupes for a shot.This scene is a highlight in Sivaji and the entire unit was all praise for the Superstar.
  
  Hats off to Rajinikanth for his dedication and willingness to perform stunts, that even the younger stars of today fear to attempt!

  time. Yet you faced some troubles to give hit movie, you are deserved to be
  praised for your confidence, hopefulness and for taking effort to achieve
  something in your life. You have done good job in the movie Varalaaru. Your

  Rajini, synonymous with simplicity
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 16, 2006]
  
  
  
  In spite of his Super Star status in the industry, Rajinikanth is simplicity personified. So say the group of artistes, who have worked along with the 'Super Star' in Sivaji.
  
  Sivaji, the much sought-after movie in the industry today, featuring Rajinikanth and Shreya Saran in the lead roles and directed by Shankar, has a host of artistes playing different characters.
  
  Raja, a popular Tamil orator and a regular face in several Tamil debates, small time comedians including Muthukalai and Nellai Siva and Metti Oli fame Bose Venkat are among the others who have played brief roles in the movie.
  
  Happy at shooting along side Rajinikanth, they say in chorus, that they were bowled over by Rajinikanth's simplicity and pleasant ways at the shooting spots.
  
  "It was indeed a pleasure for us to be part of Rajinikanth's movie. We were initially apprehensive of acting with a star who enjoys such an iconic status in the country. But he made us feel comfortable and interacted with us very casually. He is an amiable actor, who is simple and humane," they say in unison.

  One of our members' post about the INTERNET POLL that has been creating a lot of talk lately !!! Totally speakin my mind here !!
  
  Internet voting. does it really matter as to who wins?
  (11/16/2006)
  
  http://rajinifans.com/detailView.asp?title=55
  
  Friends,
  
  Today when I came to our forum, I only see posts requesting to vote
  either with the IBN-CNN, Vijay TV or with the Behindwoods.
  
  Before you post/vote, ask yourself, does it really matter as to who
  wins? Will it prove anything to the world, due to these voting?
  
  Many of you might say - YES, it will prove our strength. Though, you
  might have a valid point, ask yourself, whether will this be the
  last poll that will be conducted on internet?
  
  Irrespective of who the winner is, these polls really do not
  translate as what the majority wants/thinks. If you all remember,
  before every election such polls appear and most of the times, the
  winner shown on the internet, doesn't really win the election! If
  you do not believe me, ask any politician about it.
  
  Reason? Majority of the population doesn't use internet. And the
  majority who uses internet doesn't give a thought to participate on
  polls. So, you are evaluating only a "small minority" who really
  bother to participate. Does that reflect the real mood or predict
  anything?
  
  You have the answer by now. If you still doesn't get it, go ahead
  and cast your vote!

  Rajini to go to his favourite destination
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, December 05, 2006]
  
  
  'Super Star' Rajinikanth is expected to complete shooting for his magnum opus Sivaji later this month.
  
  Sources close to the actor say that on completing the shooting for the movie, the actor would take a break and would be off to Himalayas, his favourite destination. He would return for dubbing.
  
  Rajinikanth, after a big hit in Chandramukhi, started shooting for Sivaji, produced by AVM and directed by Shankar. The movie has musical score by A R Rahman and has Vivek, Raghuvaran and Shreya in the cast.
  
  The movie has been shot for over a year in various locations, including few European countries.
  
  With the shooting coming to an end this month, Rajinikanth is planning to embark on a spiritual tour to Himalayas and is expected to return early next year to do the dubbing works for the movie.
  
  Sivaji’s post-production works are expected to run for three months. The graphics scenes are said to be a major highlight. The scenes maybe digitally treated at a foreign place.
  
  Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's Chandramukhi is nearing 600 days. Plans are on to hold a function to savour the success.

  Rajini’s fame flies to France
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 06, 2006]
  
  
  Rajinikanth’s popularity is at an all-time high.
  
  The Super Star of South Indian films is currently acting in the costliest movie ever made in India — Rs.60 crore as per last count.
  
  Elsewhere, the big man’s fame is also going places. He is able to find new frontiers of famedom.
  
  If his Chandramukhi broke new grounds in film distribution, his older movies are now becoming popular in the European market.
  
  Readers may recall that his Muthu became a raging hit in Japan. Then a French filmmaker used clips from the same film in his movie.
  
  Now Billa, Rajini’s blockbuster of the 80s, is hogging the limelight.
  
  This time it is again for the French.
  
  France’s deputy director of Film France Commission Nationale, Frank Priot, was in Chennai recently.
  
  As it happened, he chanced upon a DVD of Rajini hits. One of them happened to be Billa.
  
  Priot was impressed with what he saw. The comedy sequences in Billa, he felt, were very interesting and pretty good.
  
  Priot intended to take those DVDs back to France.
  
  Now what next? A Rajini retrospective in the French film festival?
  
  That will be good news not just for Rajini fans, but for the lovers of Tamil cinema worldwide.
  
  _______________________________________
  
  How uncanny...kamal getting chevalier from french government and a french reviewer using rajini's performance in his movies as a example...its the french connection for the undisputed kings of tamil cinema

  Talking about build up...do you notice that rajini has this unique ability shared by kamalhassan to buildup the emotions for the inevitable with just his expressions and then when it comes its just like 1,2,3.
  
  Example for Rajini
  Muthu scene where he is about to get beaten up by ponnambalam and he gives a shocking cum teary expression at sarathbabu's order..which eventually leads to a very sad sendoff.
  
  Example for Kamal
  Nayagan scene where kamal keeps his nervousness bound with sadness when he asks where is his son and when he finds out...pure melodrama.
  
  I always thank tamil cinema for giving us these two amazing actors

  Shreya on Rajini and Sivaji IndiaGlitz [Saturday, December 09, 2006] She is just two films old in Kollywood. But she has managed to bag some plump offers. Shreya is the latest darling of masses in Tamil cinema. She is acting opposite Super Star Rajinikanth in Sivaji, with his son-in-law Dhanush in Thiruvilayadal Arambam and with Vijay in Azhagiya Tamizh Magan. She is on cloud nine for acting opposite topnotch stars in Tamil cinema. In a happy mood, she throws light on her role in Sivaji and her experience working with Rajinikanth. Shreya plays a conservative Tamil girl in Sivaji, whom Rajini falls in love with. Shreya says, “Being part of such an experienced and talented crew obviously brings great joy.” “In spite of his tall stature, Rajinikanth is modest. He turns up on time for shootings and treats everyone with respect,” she adds. Shreya missed the opportunity to act with Ajith in Aalwar. Ruing the missed opportunity, she says, “I have watched Ajith’s movies and am his fan. Unfortunately, since Sivaji was still under production, I could not accept Aalwar. I am hopeful of doing a movie with him soon.” “I never expected such quick rise. I thank all my fans and well-wishers for this,” says Shreya, who is awaiting the release of Thiruvilayadal Arambam later this month.

  Rahman completes recording for Sivaji
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, December 09, 2006]
  
  
  A R Rahman is a relieved man now, for he has completed recording all the six songs for Rajinikanth’s magnum opus Sivaji.
  
  Directed by Shankar and produced by AVM, the movie has generated lots of hype and curiosity among millions of Rajinikanth fans.
  
  A thrilled Rahman says that the music of Sivaji would live up to all expectations and would be different from his earlier works.
  
  Rahman, who stormed into the Indian film music with his debut film Roja, bagging the national award, has a word of advice for the up and coming music directors.
  
  He says, “I think it is important for a composer to have his own identity,” he said.
  
  Looking back at his career, Rahman says, “People remembered me more for my rhythm-driven songs, than my melodious numbers. But things have changed since Lagaan.”
  
  On the criticisms against him that he takes a long time to complete composing, Rahman says, “I take all criticism objectively and believe in elevating the tastes of the listener.”

  What after Rajini retires in 2008 ?
  PVS [Saturday, December 09, 2006]
  
  Superstar Rajinikant's 57th birthday falls on Dec.12 and his fans associations have started preparations for the bash under the direction of their chief Satyanarayana, who is convalescing after his illness.
  
  His forthcoming film "Sivaji", directed by Shankar and produced by S. Thanu, is nearing completion and is expected to be released on Tamil New year's day.
  
  Rajini's future plans are still in the real of speculation. However, if one goes by Tamil media reports appearing these days, the superstar is seriously considering retiring in 2008. Sources close to him believe the superstar may enter politics and work full time in the political field after quitting acting.
  
  In the next two years, before his retirement, he reportedly wishes to have two films produced - one under the banner of his "guru" K. Balachander who introduced him in films, and the second for R.M. Veerappan of Sathya Movies who produced "Basha" which shot Rajini into the political limelight and gave a fresh lease of life to Mr. Karunanidhi's DMK which was returned to power after AIADMK leader Jayalalitha's first term in office as Chief Minister.
  
  The question being asked is: Will Rajini takes to politics after his retirement in two year's time? According to sources, no one knows what is in his mind, but he has been discreetly watching the developments on the political front, especially after Captain Vijaykanth's sudden and surprise foray into politics.
  
  Rajini is carefully analyzing every move by Vijayakanth as well as the functioning of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who is considered as a Chanakya in Tamil Nadu politics, so the superstar could learn right lessons before launching himself into politics.
  
  According to the sources, he is quite determined that his last film should be produced by R M Veerappan's Sathya Movies under the direction of A.R. Murugados who directed Vijayakanth's political thriller "Ramana. Again it is Murugados who directed Chiranjeevi's latest blockbuster "Stalin" which may possibly spur the apolitical Telugu megastar into taking a political avatar sooner or later.
  
  Whether the superstar will eventually enter politics still remains a big question mark, but there are enough hints that make it apparent that Rajini still nourishes political ambitions. One hint is that he is said to be firm that his last movie should be out and out political which would lay a strong foundation for him to eventually enter politics. Rajini believes Murugados is one who could deliver. Murugados is understood to have had at least one sitting already with Rajini.
  
  Another hint is his fans associations are being curbed of black sheep and revamped where necessary before their being turned into disciplined, cultured and committed political outfits for Rajini in keeping with his inimitable style. Wait for his film to be directed by Murugados which, it is hoped, will clear the air.

  Chandramukhi creates new record
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, December 11, 2006]
  
  
  Rajinikanth starrer Chandramukhi has created a new record in the history of Tamil cinema. After Thyagaraja Bhagavathar's Haridas, Chandramukhi has won the unique distinction of running continuously in a theatre for 600 days.
  
  The film which was released in Shanthi Theatres in Chennai on 14 April, 2005, is still running in the cinema hall.
  
  Says Venugopalan, the director of Shanthi Theatres, “We never expected the movie to see such a fabulous run. We are screening the noon show in Shanthi theatre now. It's amazing that over 50 per cent of the seats are filled up even today. All the artistes who were part of the movie had been to the theatre to watch the film in the last few months. Plans are on to hold a grand function at Nehru Stadium in Chennai to celebrate this rare feat by Chandramukhi.”
  
  A remake of the critically acclaimed Malayalam movie Manichitrathazhu, the movie broke several box office records and is currently one of the highest grossing movies ever, in the Indian film industry.
  
  It stars Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Jyothika, Nayantara, Vineeth and Malavika. It was produced by actor Prabhu under his home banner, Sivaji Productions, named after his father, Sivaji Ganesan. The movie was directed by P Vasu. Music was composed by Vidyasagar.

  Count down begins for Sivaji
  Dec 14, 2006
  This news is sponsored by www.milesnprice.com
  
  The most awaited film of 2007- Sivaji is nearing completion. Post-production work is going on in full swing. The audio launch of the film is expected to be held in March 2007. According to trade pundits, director Shankar feels that if songs are released just before a month of the release of film, it is sure to remain fresh in the memory of the audience which would be an additional attraction for the movie.
  
  Sivaji
  AVM Company has decided to release the audio under their banner. Since they already have an audio label in their name, the process becomes easier. Added to that, there is a precedence of a great musical victory of Shankar-Rahman combination in ‘Boys’ few years back. This factor is also said to tilt the balance in their favour. In the event of AVM not joining the fray, there might also occur a possibility of handing over the rights for audio, film and satellite to one single company.

  Super hero who copies Rajini!
  - 14.12.2006
  
  Ever since Sarath Kumar quit DMK and joined ADMK, his stars have not been very good. He did not receive the respect that he expected.
  
  So he decided he may have to go it alone. There was problem there too. After spending crores on a film, one still cannot ensure that it will do well. So what would happen if one were to spend huge sums and start a political party? How long would that last?
  
  That's when the super hero remembered Rajini's own way. Like Rajini, Sarath also wants to delve into spirituality! He plans to build 45 temples and is also doing yagams for the success of his films.
  
  If necessary, like the superstar, he will get a pair of khadi outfits and take off to the Himalayas (along with a photographer, of course!). With all the spiritual goodness behind him, he plans to set his party in motion at least by the Tamil New Year.
  
  Does one need spirituality for that?

  NAMASTE INDIA: Manmohan Singh and his wife Kaur greet parliamentarians after Singh's address to the lower house of Diet in Tokyo.
  FLAG FLIES HIGH: Manmohan Singh and Shinzo Abe respond to flag-waving children wellwishers during a welcoming ceremony.
  
  Tokyo: He has a fanatical following in India, is revered by many as nothing short of God himself and all his movies run into packed houses. But that’s not fame enough for Tamil superstar Rajnikanth.
  
  The actor, who celebrated his 57th birthday on December 12, is also a sensation in faraway Japan as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh found out himself.
  
  Rajni’s blockbuster Odoru Maharaj (The Dancing Maharaja) found a special mention in the context of strengthening of Indo-Japan ties as Manmohan Singh addressed Japanese law on Thursday.
  
  Manmohan Singh – who is on a four-day visit to the country - referred to the 1995 movie in his address to the joint session of Diet (Japan's Parliament) and said he was delighted to hear about its popularity among the young Japanese.
  
  He, however, added that Japan's own 'Odori Asimo' (the dancing robot) was also impressing children in India, a remark that received much applause from the Japanese Parliamentarians.
  
  The role of food in promoting the relations between the two countries also found a mention in PM’s speech. "I believe the number of Indian restaurants in Japan has increased phenomenally. I assure you that sushi and tempura are becoming popular in India," he said.
  
  Manmohan Singh also spoke about the common civilisational heritage the two countries shared and Buddhism being the "oldest bond".
  
  In modern times, he said Rabindranath Tagore and Okakura Tenshin had built new bridges of understanding between the two great Asian nations.
  
  "The idea of new partnership between Japan and India has found its moment today. I come here to give concrete shape to the idea so that the future generations of our countries will be able to thank us for the part we are trying to play in making the 21 st century an Asian century," he said.

  If you haven't seen it yet, then here is Chandramukhi's Japanese Trailer. Don't know how it did in Japan though. Looks like none of his later movies have equalled Muthu in popularity there! Perhaps what is lacking is good marketing to promote his later movies or any other Tamil movies in Japan.

  Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh, hit by the Rajini euphoria
  Dec 15, 2006
  This news is sponsored by www.milesnprice.com
  
  Superstar Rajinikanth who cut his 57th birthday cake on December 12th is going through one of the best phases of his career.
  
  His last venture Chandramukhi is still running for more than 600 days in a time period when movies making a 100 days mark is considered a Herculean task; he is presently working on one of the most expensive movies ever made in India with one of the best teams in the country; to top it, India’s Prime Minister, Dr.Manmohan Singh mentions about him in his address to the joint session of Japan's Parliament.
  
  Rajini
  One is left wondering whether this is the first time an actor is being mentioned by a Prime Minister on an official visit abroad.
  
  Manmohan Singh – on a four-day visit to the country - referred to the movie Odoru Maharaj (‘The Dancing Maharaja’ in Japanese) in his speech and said he was delighted to know about the popularity of its actor, Rajinikanth among the younger generation of Japan. He also added in a lighter vein that 'Odori Asimo', the Japanese dancing robot was also becoming popular among the children in India.

  Praise for Rajini in Japan parliament! - 16.12.2006 In the Japan parliament, the Indian Prime Minister has praised Rajini. This pleasant surprise happened day before yesterday. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is currently touring Japan. He mentioned Rajini's popularity when he addressed the Japanese parliament. Rajini's 'Muthu' has been released in Japanese as 'Otori Maharaj' meaning dancing king and the film has been widely popular in Japan. Rajini's 'Chandramukhi' has also received great response. He is referred to in Japan as the dancing king! Impressed by Rajini's popularity in Japan, the Prime Minister said, "Just like your people like our Otori Maharaj, our country's children like your Otori Asimo (dancing robot)." This could well pave the way for Rajini's forthcoming film 'Sivaji' to do good business in Japan!

  Superstar in a fresh controversy
  
  
  During the audio launch of Solli Adippen, Rajni’s casual comments on Vivek have sparked a fresh row with Thevar community. In the function, super star had commented that Vivek’s intelligent sense of humour had made him think that he should be hailing from Brahmin community. But on the contrary, he realized that he is a Thevar. This is a very normal and offhand remark.
  
  But Dr Sethuraman from Moovendar Munnetra Kazhagam took exception to this remark and has issued a notice to the super star. Dr Sethuraman feels that Rajni’s comment indicates that Thevars are not intelligent people which hurts a lot of Thevars.

  Rajnikant’s fight scene part of hit French film New Delhi: A film that its makers say is fast becoming one of the year's box office successes in France has an unlikely Indian connection -- a 100-second fight sequence from one of Tamil superstar Rajnikant's blockbuster hits. In the romantic comedy Prete-Moi Ta Main (I Do) lead actress Charlotte Gainsbourg is shown watching the Indian star in action on her television, said Etienne Dubaille, an official at Alain Chabat's production house. "Rajnikant's face and trademark action style are clearly visible in the footage. As part of the dialogue, Gainsbourg says she's watching the cult Indian film Muthu," Dubaille told Reuters via e-mail from Paris. Prete-Moi Ta Main has had one of the best openings of the year in France and has grossed more than $22 million since its release on Nov 1, Dubaille said. Indian journalist Faizal Khan, who watched the film during a visit to Paris last month, said he was surprised to see Rajnikant's face "popping up" in the film. "The footage shown on the television set comes at a crucial moment in the movie," he said. Producer Chabat, known worldwide for his 2002 hit Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, had been on the lookout for a Chinese kung-fu sequence when he chanced upon two Tamil films Anniyan and Muthu. Chabat felt the fight sequence in Rajnikant's 1995 film was exactly what he wanted and got permission to use the footage from Kavithalayaa Productions, the Chennai-based producers of Muthu. This is not the first time Muthu has garnered interest abroad. In 1998 it was released as "Oduru Maharaja" (Dancing Maharaja) in Japan and gained Rajnikant a cult following there. Rajnikant turned 57 on Dec 12 and is gearing up for the release of his latest Tamil film Sivaji early next year. Source - http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14354092

  This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
  
  Sivaji is just being wrapped up for a Tamil New year release in April 2007. However, speculations regarding Rajini’s next movie are already swarming the industry. News sources state that Rajini has nodded his consent for his next project with Maniratnam.
  
  Mani is currently busy finalizing the shoots for his mega starrer Guru with Abhishekh and Aishwarya in the lead.
  
  Maniratnam
  In the pipeline is his next project titled Lajjo starring Amir Khan and Kareen Kapoor. If rumors are to be believed, Mani will commence his project with Rajini only after the completion of Lajjo.
  
  K. Balachander reportedly produces the movie for his Kavithalaya banner.

  Biggies in big trouble!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 21 December , 2006, 11:31
  
  Tamilnadu government’s decision to slash cinema admission rates has been welcomed by the common man on the streets. It is a New Year gift from the Karunanidhi government to the people in the state and has the backing of all film-related organizations.
  On the face of it, everybody should be happy, but at least half a dozen big budget movies on the floor are in serious trouble. Notably Rajnikanth’s Shankar directed Sivaji and Kamal Hassan’s Dashaavtar , will find it difficult to be marketed.
  
  The buzz is that Sivaji will have to be sold at Rs 60 Crore plus for all its rights, if it has to profitable to its producers. And ‘Oscar Films’ themselves have claimed that Dashaavtar will cost around Rs 30 Crore. Why, even some of the Pongal releases have been sold to distributors at current rate. Now the big question is will these distributors take delivery?
  
  The new rates come into effect from January 1, 2007 which means Pongal releases do not get the benefit of opening week-end. And however big hit the film turns out to be, collections will only be 50 percent of the current rate. It clearly means that rates have to be renegotiated with the distributor, entailing losses to producers.
  
  The biggest losers are going to be superstars as their salaries are going to be slashed by more than 50 percent! Star technicians and all others involved in film production will also feel the pinch, as producers are going to pass the buck back to them.
  
  The over dependence on the star system has been the bane of the industry.In a way, it will bring some discipline to the industry, as star salaries constitute 50 to 60 percent of a normal Tamil big budget movie.

  pay off "who"?
  
  sorry'nga, naan konjam 'tubelight'!!!
  
  i think its a good move by the government... it can bring back people to the theatres. but why is the government hell bent on overturning all that the previous government did???
  
  anyways, if you can watch a movie in theatre for just Rs 20 more than what you pay for a pirated VCD, it will encourage you to come to the theatres!

  have u heard abt a train being stopped at railway gate as the railway gaurd saw bagavathars car at the gate...people in train saw him and then the train started!
  
  even nehru asked bagavathar to contest in election at bagavathars home by knowing his popularity....but bagavathar refused !
  
  another time 10000 people sat on railway track to stop the train in which bagavathar is coming to get a glimpse of him!
  
  i meant wrongly actually the movie that ran for three diwali is haridas in chennai broad way talkies!

  Rajini, Murugadoss meet
  IndiaGlitz [Friday, December 22, 2006]
  
  
  Rumors were doing rounds that 'Super Star' Rajinikanth had asked director Murugadoss to pen a story for him ever since the release of Ramana.
  
  Last week, Rajinikanth and Murugadoss travelled in the same flight to Mumbai and held discussions about their ongoing projects.
  
  Sources say that the actor made anxious enquiries about Murugadoss' recent Telugu release Stalin. Also, he expressed his desire to work with Murugadoss very soon.
  
  Buzz is that Rajinikanth, after Sivaji, would do a movie for his mentor K Balachander's Kavithalaya. In 2008, it is likely that Rajinikanth would act in a movie to be produced by former State Minister R M Veerappan's Sri Sathya Movies banner and it would be directed by Murugadoss.
  
  It will be an interesting combination to look out for.

  Rajni was returning after completing a shooting schedule of his hugely-awaited film, Sivaji, and smilingly obliged when Hareesh asked him for a photograph.

  Quote:

  Complete cinema complex for Sivaji January 04, 2007 It will not be an exaggeration to say that Sivaji is the most awaited film of 2007 by Tamilians all over the globe. Each and every aspect of this film has been discussed in detail by the print and the visual media. It was purported that the entire distribution rights for this film may be given to a single agency for a whopping sum. But as per the latest filmi buzz, discussions are going on to release Sivaji in all the theatres in multiplexes. If this happens this could be the first time in the history of Tamil films or perhaps in Indian cinema itself. This would felicitate a massive viewer-ship and no fan of Rajnikanth would return home disappointed by the non availability of tickets as all the screens would be showing only Sivaji. Anyway, let us wait and watch.

  Nerd is right
  
  Katha Sangama, Puttana Kanagal’s multi-story film in Kannada, was Rajinikanth’s second film. It consisted of three independent stories and Rajinikanth played the lead in the third story, Munithayi.
  As per Rajini’s request, this segment of the film was later adapted by Mahedran in Tamil as a full film, Kai Kodukkum Kai.

  Shankar’s penchant to stand out differently has once again come to the fore in chalking out a new strategy for promos and advertisement of this film. He has plans to sum up all the probable and prospective stories that were concocted by the vivid imaginative media and declare that story of Sivaji is certainly not any of these aforementioned tales. This is indeed a novel concept which is bound to attract the curiosity of the audience and garner rich dividends for the entire film.

On Saturday (Jan 27), Rajnikanth and his family members – wife Latha, daughters Aiswarya and Soundarya and son-in-law Dhanush were spotted at M.A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai watching the India-West Indies One-day match. The Neo Sports cameramen had a field day focusing their camera from different angles on the first family of Kollywood. This time Rajni was dressed in all-black- black T-shirt, pants and skull cap. Rajni was seen cheering Robin Utthappa as he made mincemeat of the West Indian attack!

  This movie like Nerd said is a Balu Mahendra creation with Rajini, Madhavi, and YGM in the lead ... This movie is a bad combination of Balu Mahendra's classy script and narration and trying to fit in as an action venture for Rajini!

  In case you dint know, Rajini, like all other actors had his own share of flops amidst his hits, Superhits, or blobkbusters bla bla bla! This was the case right from 1977 (when he gave his first Superhit Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri as a hero) until like say 1990 ... I think Adhisaya Piravi, Naatukku Oru Nallavan were flops in 1990 and 1991 ... It's only from that phase onwards, that all his movies become Superhits pretty much! And BABA as we all know is a black mark on a white board anyways!

  Valli - not a Rajini movie! He only played a guest role!
  
  Pandian - I saw it thrice in theatre .. Wasnt that successful due to many reasons, primary of which was Devar Magan!
  
  Uzhaipaali - Donno, not that great a movie maybe!

  after 1990, here is the list of rajini's movies...
  
  Athisaya piravi
  naatukku oru nallavan
  dharmadorai
  thalapathi
  pandian
  mannan
  ulaippaali
  valli
  ejamaan
  veeraa
  baatsha
  muthu
  arunachalam
  padayapa
  baba
  chandramukhi
  
  black - superhit/blockbuster
  green - hit
  blue - average
  darkred - flop
  
  totally 16 movies...
  out of which, 2 were average grossers
  6 flops,
  4 hits,
  4 superhits/blockbusters
  
  that means, only 8 out of the 16 movies made real profits...
  
  so does that say that rajini's presence ensures a big success????? and that too arunachalam, padayappa,and CM came after a biggggg gap which helped very much..

  Nice list RajaRam. Here's my assessment on these 'flops'
  
  Bairavi.
  Good performance. Raw, fiery. Early signs of ability in comedy - check out his scenes with Sri Priya.
  (incidentally, Geetha plays his sister who gets raped. The same thing happens in Sivaji's Tharma Raja, get plays sister who gets raped)
  
  Thappu thaalangal.
  One of his best performance. One of KB's best. Down dirty and gritty. Try remaking this movie, all the stars will be scampering trying to save their image.
  
  sathurangam.
  Visu wrote this movie. Nice family subject about Rajini and Srikanth, good guy and not-so good guy, both of whom would change their attitude after marriage. Decent performance.
  
  Ranga.
  Actioner, mostly boring saved only by Rajini's performance. Karate Mani's performance is best described as giving wood bad name.
  
  Kaali.
  Stylish cinematography. Like polishing and varnishing an otherwise old revenge story. Again, Rajini and Ilayaraja's music saves the day.
  
  
  Karjanai.
  Same as kali's review, except for cinematography. Deserves to be flop.
  
  Jaani.
  This is one beautiful movie. Mahendran on top of his game. One of the best use of double role in Tamil film history (check out the scene where one Rajini tosses cigarette box to another, in one frame). Nice twist and turn of events and very bad music. Haha! Got you. You all know about the music of this movie. One word. Mesmerising.
  
  Pudhukkavithai
  Good story. Good performance. Good music. Where did it go wrong? Badly shot motorbike racing?
  
  Naan potta saval.
  I'd agree with the flop of this movie. Directionless. A very bad use of such a great talent.
  
  Inspector Rajini
  What?
  
  Rowdy Rajini
  Who?
  
  Both dubbed films, huh?
  
  Polladhavan.
  Nice story. Good performance by Rajini and lakshmi. He shines when paired with better co-stars and this movie is a proof. Too bad it flopped.
  
  Sivappu suriyan.
  Haven't seen this one. Legitimate Tamil movie?
  
  minnal.
  Crikey! What movie is this?
  
  Neruppu.
  Here we go again. Is this other side of Thee?
  
  Anbukku naan adimai.
  This movie flopped? Good lord! Such great performance. Again, hints of his comedic talent.
  
  kazhugu.
  I actually liked this movie. Straight forward actioner on anti-black magic crusade. I like the ending. He gets off the lorry and lights his cigarette and the end.
  
  6-to 60
  Everyone knows this. This is where he takes his position after Kamal as the best actor of his generation.
  
  Engeyo ketta kural.
  Subdued, restrained, and the ending will have you in tears. Sad to note it didn't do well.
  
  paayum puli.
  This movie makes me angry. You have a great team doing a crappy movie. What even happened to Ilayaraja? What were they smoking/drinking/chewing when making this movie?It deserves the flop.
  
  Ellam un kairasi.
  Haven't seen.
  
  Ranuva veeran.
  Fun movie with Siranjeevi playing a supposedly crazy movie. Again, good humour play by Rajini.
  
  Naan mahan alla.
  Saw this loooooong time ago and remember it being boooooring.
  
  Adutha varisu.
  Fun movie. Good music. Average; should have done well on fun factor alone.

  1) This is Rajini thread
  2) Someone posted an atrocious lie that in Rajini's career only 8 films have flopped. The posts in question were JUST in reply to that. Did Rajaram come out with that post out of the blue?
  3) There is nothing derogatory about it. Every actor has had his share of flops - Sivaji, MGR, Kamal, Rajini and you-name-him.
  [I take it that Groucho made an honest appraisal of the flops based on his preferences. I don't find anything wrong with that. Infact he had a lot of positive things to say]
  4) Picking on 'some other actor' is very provocative given that no one here made lofty claims saying 'that some actor has only 8 flops in his career'. Nobody said that.
  
  Moving on with Rajini's hits would be a good idea now that the point has been made. Peace

  Bay Area,
  "Not so old" movie - Kodi Parakkudhu. Junk by any standards but definitely a fun movie given certain circumstances.
  Infact one of my favorite dialogues

  A great scene, IMO, is one which makes the viewer ask the question: "was that a part of the script?". The sequence you mention has Rajini asking Sridevi as he hands over the water melon, if it would affect her voice (or so we infer from his gestures) and she motions back that such things don't affect her voice (like, "ithanalellam onnum aagaadhu"). All with just the music playing in the background. I am not sure if those gestures were Mahendran's idea, but it sure makes you ask the question.

  Rajni watches `Arasu`!
  By Moviebuzz | Monday, 05 February , 2007, 22:18
  Superstar Rajnikanth and family watched the Kannada film Arasu at screen 2, Four Frames Preview theatre on Saturday (Feb 3) evening. At the same time, Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi watched T.Rajendar’s Veerasamy at Screen 1.
  
  It was an exclusive show of Puneeth Rajkumar’s Arasu for Rajni who takes time off to watch Kannada films that carry good reports. Puneeth Rajkumar is the son of late Dr Rajkumar and the film has Ramya and Meera Jasmine in female lead.
  
  Arasu is about a rich NRI who understands the value of money after he meets a girl who makes a difference in his life. The film released last week is turning out to be a hit in Karnataka.
  
  The grapevine has it that Rajni and Dhanush were taking a look at the potential to remake the film into Tamil. Remember that Dhanush’s next release Parattai was recommended by the superstar himself after he watched its original Kannada version Jogi.

  Didn't check the site for a week. RajaRam has made huge list (I agree with the comment copy-paste) which is far from true in my opinion. A flop is different from "loss to producers". A flop for Rajini may be a super hit for a small time hero. In that sense his flop movies still made money and benefit producers.
  
  It is like Tendulkar scoring a half century. Still only less than 10 really flopped- I mean movies where Rajini was the lead role. Roowdi rejini and such fils excluded. Baba was the last to the list. I hope it remains so.

  Siva Kumar was definitely the bad guy here. That's his baby Sumithra was carrying and Rajini was protecting. The Raja Enbaar song is absolutely moving. The other great song is Vizhiyile Malarnthathu, which Rajini sings with his late-lover.
  
  I think this is the first of PA/SPM effort in doing story oriented films with Rajini. It later led to gems like 60 to 60 and EKK.

  I dont know the reason but for some reason they were ready to give some good roles for rajni and other actors like shivakumar (bokk), shivaji( naan vaazha vaippEn) and Kh (iLamai oonjalaadukiRathu) were ready to take those roles which can have some -ve impacts on them!
  
  I still find that strange. It is strange that the producers and directors were able to convince well-established actors to accept the deal!

  One of the great scenes in BOK-
  I think it is during the song...he would stretch his arm as if he is going to catch Sumitra's Saree...(He doesn't touch her despite being his wife) but actually just pulls it back in style (typical fast-rajini style movement) to take the cigarette in that hand to the mouth. WOW...
  No one else can do that I swear!

  Sivaji Rajini spotted in New Jersey
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.

  Dear Editor,
  
  I am very ardent fan of Behindwoods and not a single day has passed
  without browsing through your pages. Keep up the good work.
  
  Me and a couple of my friends went out to dinner in a restaurant in New
  Jersey and to our surprise we met Rajinikanth. He was very casual and
  friendly. He readily agreed to sign some autographs for us and let us
  take a few pictures with him.

  Is CM made to run more than 600 days?
  (2/7/2007)
  
  Question : I have one question to Sundar on this article reg CM. It claims that CM is being "made to run" by Sivaji family. Is it true?
  
  Answe by Sundar : CM has made a unmatachable record in Tamil till date and it can be beat only by Superstar's Sivaji. This is true and all know. Normally when any movie crosses 100 days or more than days in a theatre, and while nearing Silver Jubilee - the hall will be only with 25% of occupants and not more that. This is applicable to all movies crossing silver jubilee.
  
  In the case of CM, the halls were full upto 150 days and day by day the percentage got diminished. Now average no: of viewers in Shanthi for CM is 75 persons per show each day. In weekends it goes uptp 125 to 200 and sometimes more than that.
  
  Moreover, Sivaji productions, the producers of the movie wanted to create a record for their banner and they are doing so. That is making run till now. A strange point is nowadays even just released movies in many parts of the theatre have occupancey rate of 20 to 25% even in weekends. Comparing to that - occupancy of CM with 25% viwereship is not a thing.

  Fan narrates the meeting with SS in New Jersey on 6/2/07
  (2/10/2007)
  
  I met Rajini in a restaurant called BABA HUT, in NEWARK STREET, Jersey City, NJ. The owner of the restaurant is also a film actor ( old villian in Rajini and Kamal movies- the guy Kamal kills in Nayagan- police inspector) and he invited Rajini to his restaurant. Incidentally, I was eating there when Rajini arrived and we were all surprised to see him and there was a buzz around and it took sometime to for everybody around to realize that it was actually Rajini.
  
  Rajini was soft spoken and he discussed with his fans about some of his movies and the great expectation and hype that surrounds Sivaji. Few of us requested Rajini to make a few more movies like Batsha and Thalapathi and he said he would love to make such movies too. Rajini asked the people there what we actually wanted to see in movies and we gave all sorts of comments and he enjoyed it all.
  
  He patiently agreed to take some snaps with us and also signed some autographs for us which reads " OM " . God Bless , Rajinikanth.
  
  Some striking points about Rajini that I observed was he was very soft spoken unlike the ANGRY MAN we saw in Basha, Thalapathy or Padayappa - always smiling and polite even to people one-third his age.
  
  Cheers,

  Rajini to build hospital, school
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, February 15, 2007]
  
  
  It was always bound to happen. What with his films portraying larger-than-life characters out to help the poor and needy, it was only a matter of time that Rajinikanth borrowed a leaf out of his films in real life.
  
  The man who silently helps many maybe now planning to do that in a bigger scale.
  
  The news is that Rajini has bought huge stretches of land in a place called Ponneri near Chennai.
  
  The plan, as per the wind blowing in Kollywood, is build a multi-speciality hospital and a school for the benefit of the poor.
  
  Indeed life imitates for Rajini. And that’s good.
