I wunt be surprised if AVM fixes all the rights and suddenly they push it back to May 31st..

For those expecting may 31st...theres still a minimal hope..

Sivaji Release May Be Put Off :: Deccan Chronicle

The much awaited Rajnikanth starrer, which was scheduled to be released on May 31 has been postponed to June 15, according to sources in AVM, the producers of the film.
The decision follows the recent resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Theater Owners Association that beginning from Sivaji, every film will be purchased only on a "percentage" basis and the existing method of minimum guarantee and fixed hire would no longer be entertained.

Meanwhile theatre owner and distributor Abirami Ramanathan and film distributor Naga Ravi purchased the Chennai city distribution for an undisclosed amount on Thursday.

There is heavy competition for the NSC area which comprises of B and C centers and the main contenders include top distributorturned-producer Anadha Suresh and leading producer Oscar Ravi.

Distributors Muthukani for TK (Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari) and Thiruppur Subramnaiam for Coimbatore have been short listed by the producers, according to sources.

The producers of Sivaji are expecting big amounts from the distributors for all the areas, as the cost of production was huge. However, if the distributors offer the kind of money the producers expect, then with the existing percentage system, they would not recover their money and may run into a loss. So they are in a dilemma. This could be the reason for the delay of Sivaji's release, according to sources.

AVM has planned to meet the head of the theatre owners association Annamalai and its representatives to renegotiate their stance.

If the renegotiation goes perfectly the film will come to us on may 31st hopefully....ellei na june 15th..and i cant see june 15th as i will be in the army..can only see in DVD as i will be back after 4 months

I atleast hope they release the trailor...everything is being messed up...dunt AVM know that delaying to June 15 after officially announcing the release date one week before is detrimental to expectations...if they were responsible they would have renegotiated or released the movie themselves...but to immediately say another release date and that too one week later is very dangerous...kadavuley unga karunai kaatu...i just wish rajini interferes in this and pushes back the date to May 31st

Aamir Khan bowled over by Rahman
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/31222.html

Bollywood super star Aamir Khan was mesmerized after listening to the audio track of A R Rahman's Sivaji.

The actor listened to the songs and heaped laurels on A R Rahman for the variety and richness in the sound track. Aamir Khan is currently working in the Hindi version of Ghajini and the actor has insisted that A R Rahman should score the music.

The two share a unique rapport ever since Rangeela. The musical score in movies including Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Mangal Pandey are a big hit.

The Hindi version is directed by Murugadoss and Asin plays the heroine

Why is Sivaji getting postponed again? another new version story

The most awaited movie of the year, Rajinikanth�s Sivaji was finally slated to release on 31st May. The movie also got censored recently and was given a clean U certificate. The fans have already started their countdown for the d-day but disappointment is in store for the fans as the movie will be gracing the theatres only by mid June.

A.R.Rahman the music director of this magnum opus was given a special screening and was reportedly quite unhappy with his own background score for this grandiose movie. He informed Shankar about his feelings and conveyed his willingness to work on improving the background score. Director Shankar and A.R.Rahman approached AVM with their idea, which apparently has been accepted and as a result the movie's release date has been changed to 15th of June.

Yeah! AFTER ALL THIS DELAYING, THIS FILM BETTER BE MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD! Or else...
From: crajkumar_be on Sat May 19 6:47:31 2007. [Full View]

Latest on Sivaji:

1) The problem started when April 14 release was ruled out thanks to Shankar
2) Kalaignar refusing to raise the Ticket rate was the next blow
3) Sometime back, AVM was on the verge of selling the TN rights to Pyramid Saimira (it came out in the news that the rights were indeed sold to Saimira) but at the last minute, the negotiations broke down and AVM refused to sign the deal.
There are a lot of theatres in TN which come under the control of Pyramid Natrajan.
4) AVM announced the release date as May 31 in the hope of getting distributors to agree to their price. It backfired as nobody came forward to sign the deal in AVM's terms.
5) AVM Saravanan then started claiming to the media that he had sold the rights to different persons all over TN like Abhirami Ramanadhan (Chennai), D.Balaji (Trichy), Anbuchezhiyan (Madurai) etc..
The interesting thing is,
a) Abirami Ramanadhan hasnt been in the distribution line for some years now.
Moreover, no producer would give away the most lucrative Chennai rights. Incidentally, Ramanadhan is the theatre-owner association head
b) Balaji, has denied that he has bough the Trichy rights and says its AVM propaganda. Already quite a few Rajini fans had called him to ask him about the same
c) According to Anbuchezhiyan , initially, AVM had refused to come down from 8 Crores for the Madurai area. Now, they are asking only 5 Crores but still Anbuchezhiyan has not signed the deal because most of the theatres are under Pyramid Saimira who is saying "padatha release pannunga, aana naan thara kaasu dhaan tharuven".
6) Also, AVM is following the policy of distributors "taking dates" (thedhi eduthal) from the theatres on a commission basis but telling the media that they have sold the rights to the distributors.

The basic issue is, the exhibitors have made it clear that if the distributors buy the rights for the rate quoted by AVM, they will not be responsible and they will not take any cut. the 60-40 % issue is the next step but first the rates itself is not agreed upon.

AVM should strike a compromise soon if the film is to be released on June 15

IMO, it is not about people losing interest. Last year, VV and Varalaaru were released after a big delay but still ended up being blockbusters.

The problem here is not necessarily about people's interest. The movie in all likelihood will do very well but the issue is - summer release missed, ticket rates, inflated budget (interest rate etc because of the delay)...
The budget and hence the rates have been planned based on April 14 release and last year ticket rates. That is the problem.

Dilbert,
I don't know what your problem is?

LOL

unga kovathayum frustrations-ayum yen kitta kaatradha vida AVM kitta kaatna padamavadhu release aagum.
I can clearly see your frustration because neither is your film being released, nor do you have a clue about your Thalaivar's movie and you solely rely on crap like behindwoods etc for your daily "dose".

I didn't degrade Rajini here
Are you refusing to accept the delay in release or the fact that the issue is in selling the film in TN? .

You remind me of the proverbial ostrich which hides its head in the sand thinking all the problems would cease to exist

LOL

Who the hell are you to tell me what i should post? Dasa pathi relevant thread la pottukkarom. If you can understand English you ill see that what i have posted doesnt degrade Rajini.
There is a saying "Don't shoot the messenger".
You call yourself a Rajini fan and you don't know any fact which is happening in TN related to Sivaji!!!

ROTFL

If you doubt the credibility of the info please go back in the same threads where i had posted
a) Release delay
b) Pyramid Saimira deal
c) The film going to the censor board on May 14 (it actually went on May 16)
These info were posted BEFORE the same were reported in the media.

Actual Reason for postponement of Sivaji!
(5/18/2007)

Like many of you, we too shocked when we heard that it will again take 2 more weeks to have the darshan of the boss.

We enquired our media friends and each of them say a separate story for this postponement.

We don't want to disclose all those reasons. But we here disclose one genuine reason.

Piracy vs Lab safety

The film roll processing and dulicating of negatives has been given to Prasad lab in Chennai. Earlier they planned to give to many labs in few other cities. But the recent racket bust of pirated cds has somewhat connections with some labs and AVM was afraid of piracy before release.

Only Prasad lab

So, at the eleventh hour, AVM decided to go for only Prasad and dumped the idea of giving order to other labs too. Totally they are planning to put 700+ prints and definetely they need time for this since in Prasad they can print only 30 - 40 prints maximum per day. What will happen if anything happens in last minute ? So, keeping in mind all these AVM has postponed the release to June 15.

Why June 15?

Ok. Why June 15? Don they need this much time?

No. Actuall few more days is enough. But after Full Moon day (31st May) - it is descending Moon phase and those days are not considered auspicious. Again after June 15 alone is auspiciuous and as per Panchangam June 15 is New Moon day. Now u can understand why this much delay.

Wait for AD extravaganza

As per sources, AVM won't waste these days and it will advertise and prmote the film in full pitch in international level in some extra-ordinary means. (Hope all of you would have seen my posting on Koyambedu hoarding. New hoardings are cropping up in other parts of the city) You know they say even the trailers are getting ready and it will hit the theatres by 31st May.

Many of our members have come to India from abroad and to Chennai from other states. Many of you even would have cancelled your family summer vacation tour for Sivaji and u will feel disappointed now. YOU ALL PLS MAIL at (simple_sundar@yahoo.com) those tales and how this postponement affected you and costed u - in detail. Will be happy if u send ur photographs too. Don't delay this. Send us within Saturday evening (19/05/07) as we are speaking to an English channel about this. This will be carried as a special programme. Abroad Members who are in India, pls contact me at our chebnnai Special Correspondent, Mr Sundar, mobile at +91-9840169215 immediately.

Banned in Karnataka?

(5/18/2007)

சிவாஜி படத்தை கர்நாடகத்தில் திரையிட கன்னட ரக்ஷன வேதிகே அமைப்பு எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்துள்ளது. காரணம், கன்னடப் படங்களை விட, வேறு மொழிப் படங்களை விட தமிழ்ப் படங்களுக்கு அங்கு பெரும் வரவேற்பு இருப்பதுதான்.

இந் நிலையில், சிவாஜி படத்தை கர்நாடகாவில் வெளியிட தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும் என கன்னட ரக்ஷன வேதிகா அமைப்பின் தலைவர் நாராயண கெளடா கூறியுள்ளார்.

அவர் கூறுகையில், கன்னடம் அல்லாத மற்ற மொழி படங்கள் கர்நாடகாவில் வெளியிடுவதற்கு சில கட்டுப்பாடுகள் விதிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அதன்படி மற்ற மொழி படங்கள் கர்நாடகாவில் வெளியிடும் பொது அந்த படத்த்துக்கு நான்கு பிரிண்ட்டுகள் மட்டுமே போடப்பட வேண்டும்.

ஆனால் தற்போது ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்துள்ள சிவாஜி படத்துக்கு ஏராளமான பிரிண்டுக்கள் போடப்பட்டுள்ளதாக அறிகிறோம். இதை நாங்கள் அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம்.

அதேபோல சொந்த மாநிலங்களில் திரையிடப்படும் படங்கள், அங்கு வெளியான 7 வாரங்களுக்குப் பின்னர்தான் கர்நாடகத்தில் திரையிடப்பட வேண்டும். இந்தக் கட்டுப்பாட்டையும் மீற சிவாஜி படம் தயாராக உள்ளது.

எனவே விதிகளை மீறி சிவாஜி படத்தை கர்நாடகத்தில் திரையிட நாங்கள் அனுமதிக்க மாட்டோம். மேலும் இந்த ஆண்டு கன்னட ராஜ்யோத்சவா (அதாவது அந்த மாநிலம் உருவான நாள்) முதல் இந்த விதிமுறைகளை நாங்கள் கடுமையாகவும், கவனமாகவும் கண்காணித்து வருகிறோம். இப்போது சிவாஜி படத்தை நாங்கள் தீவிரமாக கண்காணிக்கப் போகிறோம்.

சிவாஜி பப்ளிசிட்டியில் தமிழ்நாட்டு மீடியா குளிர் காய்வது போல கன்னட மீடியாவும் களத்தில் குதித்திருக்கிறது. பல்லேலக்கா பாட்டை ரஜினி பாடி நடிக்க கூடாது என்று லெட்டர்பேட் பார்ட்டிகள் இங்கே சவுண்டு விட்டது போல பெங்களூரிலும் நடக்கிறது என்கிறார்கள். சிவாஜி படம் ரீலிஸ் வேறு அடுத்த மாதம் தள்ளிப்போய் விட்டது. இன்னும் ஒரு மாசம் வரைக்கும் இந்த கூத்துகளை சகித்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டியதுதான் என்கிறது ரசிகர்கள் வட்டாரம்.

Actual Reason for postponement of Sivaji!

(5/18/2007)

Like many of you, we too shocked when we heard that it will again take 2 more weeks to have the darshan of the boss.

We enquired our media friends and each of them say a separate story for this postponement.

We don't want to disclose all those reasons. But we here disclose one genuine reason.

Piracy vs Lab safety

The film roll processing and dulicating of negatives has been given to Prasad lab in Chennai. Earlier they planned to give to many labs in few other cities. But the recent racket bust of pirated cds has somewhat connections with some labs and AVM was afraid of piracy before release.

Only Prasad lab

So, at the eleventh hour, AVM decided to go for only Prasad and dumped the idea of giving order to other labs too. Totally they are planning to put 700+ prints and definetely they need time for this since in Prasad they can print only 30 - 40 prints maximum per day. What will happen if anything happens in last minute ? So, keeping in mind all these AVM has postponed the release to June 15.

Why June 15?

Ok. Why June 15? Don they need this much time?

No. Actuall few more days is enough. But after Full Moon day (31st May) - it is descending Moon phase and those days are not considered auspicious. Again after June 15 alone is auspiciuous and as per Panchangam June 15 is New Moon day. Now u can understand why this much delay.

Wait for AD extravaganza

As per sources, AVM won't waste these days and it will advertise and prmote the film in full pitch in international level in some extra-ordinary means. (Hope all of you would have seen my posting on Koyambedu hoarding. New hoardings are cropping up in other parts of the city) You know they say even the trailers are getting ready and it will hit the theatres by 31st May.

Many of our members have come to India from abroad and to Chennai from other states. Many of you even would have cancelled your family summer vacation tour for Sivaji and u will feel disappointed now. YOU ALL PLS MAIL at (simple_sundar@yahoo.com) those tales and how this postponement affected you and costed u - in detail. Will be happy if u send ur photographs too. Don't delay this. Send us within Saturday evening (19/05/07) as we are speaking to an English channel about this. This will be carried as a special programme. Abroad Members who are in India, pls contact me at our chebnnai Special Correspondent, Mr Sundar, mobile at +91-9840169215 immediately.

Thanks for pointing, Sorry I dint see Hulk's earlier post!

I hope the movie is good! I dont care how much graphics Shankar has used or whatver... The story line MUST be strong enough! Otherwise, any amount of graphics or style or comedy wont work...

When I read RajKumar's review of the censor member yesterday, the first impression I had was, they have failed miserably in coming up with a strong plot, and have given too much importance to all other extra-fitting stuf.... If that's true, the movie will flop big time, no doubt!

A review should start by saying something good abt the STORY first! But his review did not... So I dont think it's tooo positive!

UPDATE ON BOSS - >

1) All thaliavar fans has been bit upset on delay.. but if you remember i did mention in my earlier post that.. even if it takes a month more we will & we should waitfor the perfect shivaji (the boss). we are not like any other fan club.. who just to do fan bhagans.. only around filim.. release.. for us waiting for thalaivar movie.. is like waiting for festival.. this one have taken lil long time.. as Thalivar said.. this will be his Biggest Filim yet.. I believe in his words.. more than.. anyones.

2) Distribution Rites.. If anyone.. Thinks.. AVM can't recover the Money what they have invested.. They really have no clue on what they are talking about.. For example is
a) Ayangaran.. They have paid highest price for any Indian movie.. Till date.. Do you think an international Company without analysising potential of the movie they would have invested.. so much??
b) Audio Sales They have Made profits of more than.. 300% (4 Lac+ CD and Cassettes Till date) and Brisk Sales is still on... This is again biggest for any Indian Movie.. Not even an Hindi movie has achieved this feat
c) 7 Top Indian / International Company are Competing for Satellite rites.. That is for 5 years of the movie Release ... This is first time companies like UTV , TATA , is bidding in such a big way for a Tamil Movie..
d) This is going to be First Indian Movie thatz going to be released in Blue Ray.. You know what it cost for any company to release in Blue Ray? Have you guys ever thought why every company invovled is willing to make that kind of investment... ?? Bcoz they know for sure this one is going to be a Great Winner..

These were just few Glimipse of What Shivaji's Business aspects are..

3) There was Some Post about post Censor .. screening review. If It takes only one censor person to leak the storyline.. AVM wouldn't have obtained Special Screening permission. And mind you its against Law for any Censor person to talk about the Movie prospect to public.. Its kind of kiddish to even think that a censor person can give a comment like a normal movie goer.. The main job of Censor is to analysis the Senstivity of movie interms of Dialogues used, Sexual Explicit content, and other elements which can hurt or instigate people feeling in anyway.They are just a Filter to filter out these elements out of the movie.. They have no role what so even in determining the Storyline..or any other aspect of the movie.. Bottomline.. Whether Shivaji is exhibitable for all ages?? Answer is "YES" its been Certified as any other thalivar movie "U" for everyone.

4) Hindu Sentiments... Joe/ Raj.. If you guys don't believe in these things.. thatz fine .. But you have no rites.. what soever in hurting people's belief.... Mudanambekai.. well sirs.. Based on the same Foundation we are all standing.. even today, same Mudanambekai has given us a the unique identity in the world.. As a Hindu. Please don't hurt anyone's sentiments on this subject.. its my sincere request.

So my dear Friends.. Don't loose Hopes.. just bcoz its getting delayed.. Some. prankesters.. were waiting for something like this(a delay in release) to happen for long time.... don't get carried away.. with what they post.. Most of them are just copy paste of few pranks.. which a group people post in orkut..!! only Gas.. No Facts..

Rajini fans....wonderful updates....well all these days I was trying to get the updates on why Kireedom is getting delayed and all the fingers were being pointed at Sivaji....so after enquiring reliable sources about Sivaji...its release date and the expectations...this is what I have to say...

well what can I say...when our hubber crajkumar_be has said it...

well these are some of the points which I would like to convey (which I have collected from "Sivaji" fans association)

1. Sivaji movie budget is around 70 to 80 crores rupees.

2. The movie has been sold out for 200 crore rupees (excluding TN rights).

3. The major problem for the delay of Sivaji is the problem with the Distributors. The rates being fixed by AVM are higher (I can't get the exact or approximate figure) which the distributors are shying away.

4. Another setback is the TN govt. order of the ticket rates announced last year. AVM/Rajini is trying hard to convince the CM of TN to revoke/scrap this order temporarily () so that Sivaji can do the business in 6 months and reap profits.

5. Shankar has come with an ordinary story just like in his previous movies which has got social message. this is what crajkumar_be mentioned...but the best thing is RAJINI HAS COME OUT WITH HIS TOP NOTCH PERFORMANCE. PEOPLE EXCLAIM IF THE MOVIE IS A HIT...IT IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF RAJINI AND NOT BY ANYONE ELSE. THAT IS WHY RAJINI IS VERY CAUTIOUS. RAJINI MIGHT TAKE A DECISION AFTER THIS MOVIE (What Decision?)

6. It seems that Rajini always shows the First Copy of his any movies to some of his close friends and asks for their opinion about the movie outcome and its commercial business at the Box-Office. One such close friend is Kamal Hassan.

7. Don't know if #6 is achieved or not. But if it is true then the news that ARR doing some major changes to the BGM might be true.

8. I am shocked that the release date has been postponed to June 15th.

Well whenever Sivaji release, it is going to rain heavily that is what the Sivaji fans association are stating as Rajini has given his top notch performance.

Disclaimer: This news I have collected from Sivaji fans association. Hubbers may believe it or may completely ignore the same. Well I have completely ignored some of the cases above.

Yes, that Ramanathan thing is a stunt by AVM which i am sure veteran Rajini fans like LIC Sridhar can confirm.
Moreover, Chennai rights podhuva endha producer-um vida mattaanga. Appadiye vithaalum its unlikely they will bypass Albert Mariappan (Rajini's personal friend).

Oru koodai sunlight- never before, never again
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
May 21, 2007

We know that you are all dying to hear even the smallest piece of news about Sivaji. We have just the thing for you. A first hand report of what the Sivaji experience will be for you, an opinion from one of the privileged few who have already seen the movie. How could anyone have already seen the movie? No, this is not another case of Sivaji material being leaked ahead of the actual release date (remember what happened with the music).

This one is from a person who couldn�t contain his excitement after seeing the movie at one of the very few preview screenings that have been held for various reasons.

The person was discrete enough not to reveal anything about the story. The only thing that he could manage were a few words of appreciation of the highest levels, he was searching for words actually. The only coherent thing that we got from him was that the song �Oru Koodai Sunlight� would be a never before seen experience on the big screen and the standards that it has set are going to be too tough to emulate in the foreseeable future. Well it seems that it has to be seen to be believed.

Finally summing up what that lucky guy felt about Sivaji; we told you that he was actually searching for words; we guess the right word would have been �extraordinary�.

I got an e-mail saying that that movie is scheduled to release here and for few days (5 shows) or so (few days) from the on the date of release!

They usually screen one show (including CM) after two weeks or so!

Certainly, shivaji release is going to be little different from his earlier films!

They tried to follow spidy-3 strategy.

So, they are just after collection. The movie may not run long!

Tiruppur Subramanian strong remarks against Theatre owners

1) Tiruppur Subramanian - the famous distributor from Coimbatore who used to release all Rajini films has bought Sivaji rights for Coimbatore territory.

He has given strong remarks against Theatre owners on their ungrateful activities towards Superstar and how they are wounding his heart. He has condemned them and also said that nobody can stop Sivaji release and he has the guts to release it without anybody's help.

Pls find the scanned version of the above news which came in Maalai Murasu yesterday (18/5/07).

I do not know 'Sivaji' budget � Shankar
May 21, 2007, 11:07

Shankar is right now in Cannes. What he has said has shocked everyone here.

When a story is told to the producer, it is usual in Kodambakkam for the director to also give a tentative budget. Shankar has said something quite different from this when he was asked about the release of 'Sivaji' being postponed to June 15.

"There is great expectation of 'Sivaji.' After coming to Cannes, I heard about the release date being postponed. May there are some production hassles," he said. What he said next shocked everyone. "I may have directed 'Sivaji' but I have no idea about its total budget.

Does that mean that AVM gave him whatever he asked for and he did not keep track? Or does that mean that it is Shankar's work to direct the film and the budget is the producer AVM's headache?

Shankar could have given a clearer explanation!

'Sivaji' film � Kannadians show 'large' heart! - 21.05.2007

Kannada organizations had decided to prevent 'Sivaji'from being screened in Karnataka, but now they seem to have changed their mind, on one condition.

Kannada Rakshana Vedika had stubbornly protested against screening of any Tamil film in Karnataka till the Cauvery issue is solved. They even vandalized theatres that screened 'Mozhi'and 'Koodal Nagar.'Since there is a great deal of expectation for 'Sivaji'in Karnataka, the organization already started its protests about not allowing the screening of the film.

Now Narayana Gowda, the leader of Kannada Rakshana Vedika has made an announcement, condemning Sivaji�s Karnataka distributor HD Gangaraj for saying there is no connection between 'Sivaji'and the Cauvery issue. He also said that not only Tamilians but also Kannadians were eager to see 'Sivaji'so it could be screened in 4 theatres. It is to be noted that this 'large hearted gesture about 4 theaters'is for whole Karnataka.

HD Gangaraj had planned to release 'Sivaji'in 70 theatres in Karnataka. Now Gowda has written to Gangaraj as well as the Police Commissioner that if the film was released in more than 4 theatres, they will not be responsible for the repercussions. It is strange that the Karnataka police have taken no action against this rowdy threat.

Do they belong to police force or puny force?

ஸ்ரேயா தொப்புளை தொட ரஜினிக்கு தடை!
- 22.05.2007
By JBR

தமிழ் கதாநாயகிகளின் தொப்புளில் பம்பரம் விட்டார்கள். ஆம்லெட் சுட்டார்கள். விட்டால் பருப்பு போட்டு பாயாசமே காய்ச்சியிருப்பார்கள். இந்நிலையில் ஸ்ரேயாவின் தொப்புளை தொடுவதற்கே ரஜினிக்கு அனுமதி மறுத்திருக்கிறது தணிக்கை குழு.

ஜுன் 15 'சிவாஜி' ரிலீஸாகிறது. சென்ற வாரம் ஏ.வி.எம். மில் உள்ள தியேட்டரில் தணிக்கை குழு படத்தைப் பார்த்தது. ஆபாச காட்சிகள், வன்முறை காட்சிகள் இல்லாததால் குழந்தைகள் பார்க்கத்தகுந்த படம் என 'யு' சர்ட்டிபிகெட் 'சிவாஜி'க்கு வழங்கப்பட்டது. படத்தின் எந்த காட்சியையும் தணிக்கை குழு கத்திரி போடவில்லை என ஸ்டுடியோ வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன.

ஆனால் ஒரு மேஜர் 'கட்'டும் இரண்டு மைனர் 'கட்'டும் கொடுத்திருக்கிறது தணிக்கை குழு. விவேக் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட நகைச்சுவை காட்சியில் காமெடி என்ற பெயரில் இரட்டை அர்த்த வசனம் இடம் பெற்றிருக்கிறது. இரண்டு இடங்களில் இப்படிப்பட்ட டபுள்மீனிங் வசனத்தை விவேக் பேசியுள்ளார். இதனை எடிட் செய்துள்ளது தணிக்கை குழு.

பாடல் காட்சி ஒன்றில் ஸ்ரேயாவின் தொப்புளை ரஜினி 'டச்' செய்வது போன்று எடுத்துள்ளார் ஷங்கர். கயிறுகட்டி மிகவும் வித்தியாசமான கோணத்தில் இக்காட்சி எடுக்கப்பட்டது. கலாபூர்வமாக இதனை பார்க்காத சென்ஸார், காட்சி ரொம்ப மோசம் என தொப்புள் டச்சிங்கை கத்தரித்துள்ளது. இதற்கு தயாரிப்பாளர் தரப்பில் கடும் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்துள்ளார்கள். பாடல்காட்சிக்கு நடுவில் வரும் இதனை எடிட் செய்தால் பாடலின் கன்டினியுட்டியே காலாவதியாகிவிடும். ஆனால், சென்ஸார் தனது முடிவில் பிடிவாதமாக இருந்துள்ளது. குறிப்பிட்ட காட்சி வேண்டுமென்றால் படத்துக்கு 'ஏ' சான்றிதழ்தான் தருவோம் என சென்ஸார் கூறியதாக தெரிகிறது.

'ஏ' சான்றிதழ் என்றால் பதினெட்டு வயசுக்கு கீழ் உள்ளவர்கள் படம் பார்க்க அனுமதியில்லை. படத்தின் பாதி கலெக்ஷ்ன் கோவிந்தாவாகி விடும். தொப்புளுக்காக அத்தனை பெரிய இழப்பை சந்திக்க முடியாது என்பதால் சென்ஸார் கூறியதுபோல் தொப்புள் காட்சியை எடிட் செய்ய சம்மதித்தனர்.

இந்த காட்சிக்கு ஸ்பேர் ஆக வேறு காட்சியை ஷங்கர் ஷுட் செய்திருந்திருக்கிறார். அதனை பயன்படுத்தும்படி கேன்ஸில் இருந்தபடி தனது உதவியாளர்களுக்கு உத்தரவு போட்டிருக்கிறார். கேன்ஸிலிருந்து திரும்பியதும் பாடல்காட்சியை ஷங்கர் பார்வையிட்டு கரெக்ஷ்ன் செய்த பிறகே பிரிண்டுகள் போடப்படும் என தெரிகிறது.

We discuss practicaly..

Rajini has market only in Tamil and Telugu.
Average in kerala and above avearge in Karnataka.
Zero in Hindi.

Shankar has market in all 4 southern states and Zero in hindi.

Shivaji is going to release Tamil and dubbed to telugu.

So
Shivaji may release maximum 400 screens in Tamilnadu(CM released in 250)
200 screens in Andhra(CM released in 100 screens)
Karnataka- maximum 30 screens(normally tamil movie is releasing only in bangalore,mysore and mangalore.so
Bangalore -25,mysore -3 and mangalore-2. In fact 25 screens in bangalore is not possible)

Kerala maximum 30 screens(CM released 10 screens)

If you take overseas - USA,UK,Malaysia,Middle east,singapore and srilanka.maximum 100 to 150 prints.

So Over all double of CM.

When CM completed 50 days, as per media's news it collected 50-60 crores.

If Shivaji become block buster, Will it collect 100 crores in 50 days????

that is big question now.

that time CM had some plus points.

1)Ticket rate was high.
2)Movie released on vacation period.

But now Ticket rate is drastically reduced and movie is going to release on non vacation period.

One more point is very very important.

The movie has been sold out for 200 crore rupees (excluding TN rights).

We discuss practicaly..

Rajini has market only in Tamil and Telugu.
Average in kerala and above avearge in Karnataka.
Zero in Hindi.
you have no idea.. lets not speculate.. In US & UK Majority of Northern Indian perfer to watch South Indian Stars Movies (Includes Rajini , Kamal, Chiru) over normal Hindi.. movie.. with average Starcast...

Shankar has market in all 4 southern states and Zero in hindi.

Ditto

Shivaji is going to release Tamil and dubbed to telugu.

So
Shivaji may release maximum 400 screens in Tamilnadu(CM released in 250)

200 screens in Andhra(CM released in 100 screens)
Enna oru.. Approx...?? Rights has been brought at a price which is not even paid for a Chiru Movie.. Magnitude of release will be bigger. There is no other way they can recover that cost.

Karnataka- maximum 30 screens(normally tamil movie is releasing only in bangalore,mysore and mangalore.so
Bangalore -25,mysore -3 and mangalore-2. In fact 25 screens in bangalore is not possible)

Time will answer.. only cranky guy who has to be taken care of is Waltal Nagraj.. !! If he keep his mouth shut things will be cool.. !! Avan oru useless fellow.. Lets hope.. he get wat he wants good big suitcase..

Kerala maximum 30 screens(CM released 10 screens)

it will be much more than .. 30 Screens.. Why do you think all other malayalam.. movies.. are running for shelter.....

If you take overseas - USA,UK,Malaysia,Middle east,singapore and srilanka.maximum 100 to 150 prints.

Again all of these regions.. are going to be very very big way..
Ayangran.. I would have prefered Eros.. (Thalivar is a partner ) They do much more better release job.. Thalivar would have added few more dollars to his pocket.. Don't know why? But Again Ayangran is not a small organisation..

If Shivaji become block buster, Will it collect 100 crores in 50 days????

The whole y'day I pulled all the strings..to get some reliable info on the story..or movie.. or anything about the movie ,everyone whom I know was tightlipped but at the end I managed to get a small laughter over the phone. on the other end. well it answered.. my 100000000 questions... about the movie..

If you thought.. the Stunts.. what we have been seeing Indian movies are the best what we could get.. Think again.. Mark my words.. this one is.. way way way above anyone's imagination.. Thaliavar has taken pains of doing all these stunts all by himself. At this age.... just for us.. !! A Big hug and thank you thaliva...

+ Storyline is definetely not the routine one..(a small portion is predictable thats what I was told) Whether it will be Great one? Only Time will answer
+ Songs are beautifully picturised.. Crisp and Cute..
+ Stunts are Mind Blowing.. pretty much they have set standards for future.. (hollywood style) I would luv to see thaliavar..with the gizmozes.and black suites..
+ Style ku.. Pancham.illai..
+ Is This Best Rajni Movie yet? Hands Down.. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Definetely.. its a 100/100 Commerical Movie.. Story has played very lil role. as Nerd bro mentioned.. Yeap there will be lotz of thing that can be criticized..

Now I have one small thing for all Thaliavar Fans.. Annada.. Shankar paiyan.. pudchee.. Kuniya vachi.. kuthanam... Lets hunt that guy down, yeadoo Cannesla iruukurda kelvi patain..(I will tell you the reason PM ME )

This is a ridiculous statement. CM had Rajini, sivaji also has Rajini. CM had P.Vasu, sivaji has Shankar. CM's music was by VS, Sivaji's is by ARR. There are a LOT of non-Rajini but Shankar/ARR fans in all the 4 southern states. Thats why it is being regarded as a DREAM combo

In Tamilnadu maximum 70% of the people are going to theatre to watch movies.(30% - aged persons and poverty people).
atleast 60% of the people will watch Rajini movies(as Rajini movies are coming for every 3 years).
So maximum 10% will vary in this case which is not much difference.

Here we cann't differentiate ARR fans and shankar fans.

Your statement is applicable only to 'new hero'. not to Rajini.

Bread Pulli.. Sir.. Not each threatre will get 1 print.. Multiple threatre will share few prints..

Example Bangalore : Any Major Tamil release maximum print best of my knowledge will not be more than 15-20prints which will be shared by 25 + 35 threatres.. (Suburbs usually they manage with 1 print 2 threatres.. by scheduling at different times)
only few big threatres like Inox, Multiplexes .. will have a dedicated print..

Sivaji mania grips Kerala too

Vijay | May 23, 2007 20:18 IST

With three more weeks for Sivaji to hit theatres, the mania has now spread to neighbouring Kerala. Speculation is rife in this state, always a strong market for Tamil cinema, about everything from the plot of the film to Rajnikanth's role.

"Tamil films have a spectacular market here and the films of some of the big stars from that state command better reception at the box-office than the other stars here," says an industry insider.

Grapevine has it that the distribution rights of Sivaji have fetched Rs 3 crores in Kerala. Do note that the figure corresponds to the production budgets of the costliest Malayalam films!

"There is no denying the fact that some fabulous experiments are happening in Tamil ,and there is no need for a regional bias when it comes to good cinema," says Johny Antony, director of films like Thuruppugulan, CID Moosa, Kochi Rajavu and Inspector Garud.

"I just can't wait to see Sivaji and I am even excited about Rajnikanth's project after this one, as Shankar brings out the ultimate in every hero. I really believe only Rajnikanth can break the myth that actors fade away trying to outdo what they have done in a Shankar film," he adds.

Pradeep Nair, award winning director of the film Oridam, thinks mainly the young crowd are attracted to the various themes offered by Tamil films. "Also the movies are generally satisfying the viewers with fights, songs and colourful visuals. Besides the existing stars, new talents are coming up Tamil films," he says.

"The theatres are doing brisk business with Tamil and even Hindi films these days."

Mani K R, a distributor who released the Jeyam Ravi-Bhavana starrer Deepavali in Kerala recently, says, "Sivaji is expected to do better business than some of the Malayalam films released during Vishu. There is a certain group of loyal viewers here, which now include youngsters as well," he adds.

A prominent director from Kerala jokes that from the business angle, theatres are justified if they go for other language films apart from Malayalam ones.

Johny Antony has the last word, frankly stating that "it's perfectly okay if the viewer prefers a well crafted Tamil film over a lousy Malayalam film."

Megastar Chiranjeevi in 'Sivaji'?

If you are wondering why Megastar Chiranjeevi is involved with the much awaited Rajinikanth�s �Sivaji�, then get this.

Buzz is that the Megastar owns the rights of the Telugu version of 'Sivaji'. It is officially known that Bellamkonda Suresh has acquired the rights for whopping Rs 14 crores.

However film circle in Tollywood is abuzz with the gossip that Chiranjeevi has considerable stake in it and would not want make that public.

With Sivaji already expected to hit the theatres on June 15th, one would wonder if this is true or just some of the so much gossip that goes around in the tinsel town of Tollywood.

Direct release for 'Sivaji'
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 10:20:12 am

The film �Sivaji� would be Tamil demigod Rajnikanth�s hundredth release, and now, despite the innumerable delays there is a definite buzz in the Tamil film industry that AVM producers helming the project are preparing to take the biggest risk in Tamil film history by releasing the film directly � that, too, at a whopping price of 20-60 lakh per theatre.

"They have lot of risk. If the picture runs, it is good for them. But if it does not, the losses will be more. If you give the movie to distributors, the safety is that they know which theatres to run the movie and which is not to be selected,� says Kalaipuli Sekaran, President of Chennai District Film Distributors Association.

Rajni�s charisma

AVM expects to sell the movie for a whopping Rs 70 crore, and the charm of Rajni has ensured that their target is not really far away. �Sivaji� has already been sold for Rs 3 crore in neighbouring Kerala and for Rs 10 crore in Andhra Pradesh, and the biggest whopper of Rs 13 crore for overseas rights. If the industry grapevine is to be believed, this would be approximately the same amount that Shahrukh's superhit �Don� commanded abroad.

But perhaps, that is not the ace trick up Rajni and his team's sleeve. Curiosity about the movie is at an all time high - after all, �no publicity� has been the latest strategy which is something that Indian filmdom is yet to see.

But for Rajni's fans no publicity is just not a deterrent.

"The film does not have enough promotion, but there is no need for trailers or anything. Just an indication of the release date is enough. Sivaji will rock. Even women above 40 will come. We keep ourselves up to date by checking the internet regularly,� said Tamil film buffs to TIMES NOW.

Will Rajnikanth's magic help his producers win the biggest and most expensive gamble of their careers? The time for the answer to that is just around the corner.

(Dhanya Rajendran)

Sivaji mania grips Kerala too

Vijay | May 23, 2007 20:18 IST

With three more weeks for Sivaji to hit theatres, the mania has now spread to neighbouring Kerala. Speculation is rife in this state, always a strong market for Tamil cinema, about everything from the plot of the film to Rajnikanth's role.

"Tamil films have a spectacular market here and the films of some of the big stars from that state command better reception at the box-office than the other stars here," says an industry insider.

Grapevine has it that the distribution rights of Sivaji have fetched Rs 3 crores in Kerala. Do note that the figure corresponds to the production budgets of the costliest Malayalam films!

"There is no denying the fact that some fabulous experiments are happening in Tamil ,and there is no need for a regional bias when it comes to good cinema," says Johny Antony, director of films like Thuruppugulan, CID Moosa, Kochi Rajavu and Inspector Garud.

"I just can't wait to see Sivaji and I am even excited about Rajnikanth's project after this one, as Shankar brings out the ultimate in every hero. I really believe only Rajnikanth can break the myth that actors fade away trying to outdo what they have done in a Shankar film," he adds.

Pradeep Nair, award winning director of the film Oridam, thinks mainly the young crowd are attracted to the various themes offered by Tamil films. "Also the movies are generally satisfying the viewers with fights, songs and colourful visuals. Besides the existing stars, new talents are coming up Tamil films," he says.

"The theatres are doing brisk business with Tamil and even Hindi films these days."

Mani K R, a distributor who released the Jeyam Ravi-Bhavana starrer Deepavali in Kerala recently, says, "Sivaji is expected to do better business than some of the Malayalam films released during Vishu. There is a certain group of loyal viewers here, which now include youngsters as well," he adds.

A prominent director from Kerala jokes that from the business angle, theatres are justified if they go for other language films apart from Malayalam ones.

Johny Antony has the last word, frankly stating that "it's perfectly okay if the viewer prefers a well crafted Tamil film over a lousy Malayalam film."

An article filled with a lot of erroneous data ! !

1) 200 crore joke was for other states/FMS, apart from TN. It was not for TN
2) Remember, reduced ticket rates is an important factor
In today's Dina Thanthi, the theatre owners have responded to that distributors (Tiruppur) allegation. When they helped out Rajini during Uzhaippali release, why their intentions were being questioned now. They have also talked why they want a 60-40 scheme in the wake of the new ticket rates. It applies for all films, not just Sivaji.

I need accept we are kind of getting only -ve infos about the Magnam Opus.. I only hope the boss will be able to cross all the hurdles..and lite the silver screen..

Definetely lessons learned..

1) Big budget movies.. definetely not the thing for Tamil filim Industry..
2) Everyone involved get greedy ..and mess up the whole product..and they try to ride on hype than on quality.
3) Main Stars Involved has to play a curicial role in Marketing and Sales of any bigbudget , movie.. just like Hollywood stars appearing on Latenite show and other shows to promote the movie. which was missing bigtime.
4)AVM has put everything they got behind this project. This is the biggest lessons learnt.. Even by having the Greatest and Biggest Actor of Indian cinema like Rajni Can't change few things in the system.
5) As I said earlier.. Marketing plays a curical role for any products.. if AVM would have started negotations around Jan all would have been fine.. but they got greedy... and kind of lost major bargain.. with some key distibutors. Thatz what I feel..

IF ANYTHING CAN SALVAGE THIS MOVIE.. ITS NONE OTHER THAN THE GOD(RAJINI) MAGIC ..

NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY CREDIT FROM RAJINI.. HE HAS PUT IN HEART OUT IN THIS MOVIE.. IN DOING EVERYTHING.. WHAT WAS NEEDED.

ITS REALLY SAD THIS IS FRIST RAJINI MOVIE.. WHICH IS FACING A STRANGE PROBLEMS..

I ONLY PRAY OTHER BIG BUDGET MOVIES PENDING FOR RELEASE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THRU THESE THINGS..

ITS REALLY REALLY SAD STATE. POLITICS..is really CRAZY.. THIS is DMK'S 5TH TERM..NOW MR. KN REALISED.. he should be worried about taxes on movie tiks after 20 years lol you must be kidding... This goes to prove

Film ticket price was a more recent problem. You have no other proof than to speculate that this was done against Rajini.

Karunanidhi, had to to something to pull the cinema world towards him, which was in favor of JJ so he brought these changes. Though this price reduction is a problem for Big Budget movies [BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RAKE UP BIG PROFITS], it is a boon for others as low ticket prices means more viewers.

And further more there are many actors, producers who are supported by the current Govt. so why should they want to pull them down, Just to score a point against some actor?

These seems highly inane. This is mere speculation than anything.

Even IF what you claim is true, I would welcome the move by the govt. because an Individual's interest is far less important than the collective interest of the people.

Very Happy

Why should be that the case here? It is not that Rajini alone acts in high budget movies in tamil industry. But Rajini's trade mark is his style with cigarette.

Moreover it was the first time PMK had a health minster so, u can't say they didn't do it earlier but only now.

by slashing moive ticks price.. State's GDP won't grow.. Let them Try reducing .. prices of Oil / energy that might help Middle Class families.. Not Movie ticks..

Just because they haven't reduced Oil prices, it doesn't mean reducing price of movie ticket is not a good move. And by the way, Oil prices are controlled by International market price and not DMK.

And look at the statement.

Let them Try reducing .. prices of Oil / energy that might help Middle Class families.. Not Movie ticks..

So u did be still opposing this even if the oil prices where reduced, along with ticket prices. That shows that your claim is extremely prejudiced.

you are trying to reduce the price of the product when the Production cost is all time high . No one is getting paid in Lakh.. its only crores.. inda timela , How will Threatres.. Survive.. with less ticks price.??

Do you mean to say no film reaped in profits after this price reduction?

In fact we have had many profitable movies this time of the year rather than last year.

more over your claim is nonsense. The theater owners and distributes are happy with this move unlike your ignorant claim.

The cinema-goers are happy, so are the film producers, distributors and exhibitors since the prices of cinema tickets in the State have been reduced.

Abirami Ramanathan, president, Chennai Theatre Owners Association, says he is happy at the ticket revision and that the government has done the right thing. "The government has thought it fit to revise the rates of admission to upgrade the necessary facilities. The government has formed a set of 15 guidelines and [even] if one cinema hall has [one necessary facility] then they can increase the rates of admission. At present only a couple of cinema halls can increase the admission rates."

Ramanarayanan, president, Tamil film Producers Council, is ready to count the various incentives the film fraternity has received from the government. "Today both the people and the film industry are happy about the ticket rates. This will [bring] people to the theatre... "

"Only for films with a big star cast and that too on festival days, we would like to increase the rates. This will eradicate black market and piracy." Albert theatre's Mariappan says, "We are eligible [to sell tickets] for Rs.90, but we charge Rs.50. The latest order is a good one, both for the public and the people in the trade."

Who told them to pay them in Crores? Did the govt. say so? NO. It is the producer who has to fix the budget according to the profit he can make...

Guys as per the latest update(s) i got, AVM is still struggling to sell the movie and they are going for a direct release in a lot of areas. The distributors/theater owners claim that AVM has become greedy since they are asking for almost double the price of what CM collected. Very sad state of affairs

I would blame shankar.. he has Rajini with him and he has been spending crores for absolutely NOTHING.. And he is thrifty when it comes to S productions films. What an *******

�Naan M.G.Ramachandran�- Sivaji: The Boss

The wait is agonizing for any Rajni fan. We have been counting days right from April and we are still counting not knowing when Shankar actually plans to get Sivaji-The Boss in theaters. Shankar does have a strong mind of his own, how else can we explain this delay in Sivaji�s release, AVM is never known to have a late release and all previous Rajni films have hit theaters on the announced date without fail, even when he had suffered a dislocated shoulder on the sets of Baba.

Another thing, there is always an uncanny way in which different versions of the story of a Shankar movie find their way into the press. There were umpteen versions of Anniyan�s story doing the rounds until the movie released and proved nearly all of them wrong. In this context, it is hard to believe anything that you hear about Sivaji�s story.

But then, it is a Superstar movie and who wouldn�t want to know even the smallest detail about it. The style, the action, the punch dialogues and the Superstar phenomenon unleashing itself on the screen frame after frame. Three hours of unabated thrill, excitement, cheers and a two year long wait attaining fulfillment. For the Rajni fan this is nothing short of Nirvana; salvation. So, for those of you who are dying to know what your idol (sorry, our idol) will be doing on screen this time round we have something. It is not exactly a rumor as Sivaji has already been screened to a select audience but it is not straight from the horse�s mouth either. This is what you may see on screen from June 15th (if Shankar does not get any further ideas of improvisation). So read and imagine how Superstar will parade his majesty on the big screen, deliver the dialogues with peerless style and enthrall us all. Please don�t bridle your imagination if you want to enjoy this.

Sivaji is this rich man to begin with, trying to take education beyond just the rich people into the poor but deserving population. He opposes bribery, corruption and all the vices that plague the system (please keep imagining the Superstar doing these things). He makes enemies, as will anyone who tries to do any good to the society. The enemies hatch a plot and decide to get Superstar out of their way. The plan nearly succeeds but Sivaji survives and escapes to the United States (living to fight another day) where he gathers his forces and plans his comeback; in style. When he comes back he is not the same man who left India, his head is shaved and he now has a deadly killer look about him, after all he is out to destroy those who conspired against him. At a certain point in the film one of his adversaries (possibly unable to identify him in his new get up) asks him (now imagine clearly the Superstar on the big screen) �Who are you�?---------- � Naan M.G.Ramachandran� comes the reply.

Take our word; this scene will make fans go crazy, three generations will break into frenzy in unison as Superstar introduces himself. Sivaji-The Boss, please release soon, this wait is getting too much for us.

Oru koodai sunlight- never before, never again

The person was discrete enough not to reveal anything about the story. The only thing that he could manage were a few words of appreciation of the highest levels, he was searching for words actually. The only coherent thing that we got from him was that the song 'Oru Koodai Sunlight' would be a never before seen experience on the big screen and the standards that it has set are going to be too tough to emulate in the foreseeable future. Well it seems that it has to be seen to be believed.

Finally summing up what that lucky guy felt about Sivaji; we told you that he was actually searching for words; we guess the right word would have been 'extraordinary'.

2. ரஜினி ரசிகர்களின் எதிர்-பார்ப்புகள் அனைத்தும் நிறை-வேறுமா?

நிறைவேறும், அவரது சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் அந்தஸ்துக்குப் பங்கம் வராமல்! அதே சமயம்...

3. அதே சமயம்..?

ஒரு ஷங்கர் படத்தின் கதைத் திருப்பங்களுக்கும் சுவாரஸ்யமான முரண்பாடுகளுக்கும் பிரமாண்டத்-துக்கும் குறைவிருக்காது.

4. ரஜினி என்றால், பன்ச் டயலாக் இருக்குமா?

இருக்கிறது. விவேக் மூலம் சொல்ல வைத்துவிட்டோம். பன்ச்சுக்கு பன்ச்; டிக்னிட்டிக்கு டிக்னிட்டி!

5. ஏன் இத்தனை தாமதம்?

நல்ல கேள்வி! படத்தில் பணிபுரிந்த அத்தனை கலைஞர்களும் இந்தியாவின் சிறந்த கலைஞர்கள். ரஜினி, ஷங்கர், ஏவி.எம். படம் என்பதால் தனிப்பட்ட சிரத்தையுடன் பார்த்துப் பார்த்துச் செய்ததால் தாமதம். லேட்டாக வந்தாலும் நீட்டாக வந்திருக்கிறது.

6. படத்தின் tagline என்ன?

�சிவாஜி� அமெரிக்காவிலிருந்து வந்து, முதல் பாதியில் விழுகிறார்; இரண்டாம் பாதியில் எழுகிறார்!

7. கொஞ்சம் விவரமாகச் சொல்லுங்களேன்..?

சொல்கிறேனே... அடுத்த வாரம்!

Sare Vedunga.. Thalaivar has done.. an exceptionally great job, Desipite of all the short comes in the movie...(few of them are confirmed facts Lets not get into details at this time) as you said we will wait for the release .... he has unleashed his magic. in the most spectular way.. possible. This movie will become the Style Statement for Years to come .

The Most interesting part of this movie. Thalaivar has slowly moved in to current generation from ours .. He has done lotz of small small things.. which current generation will relate themselves.. thatz a clever move.. Nice to see a Legend addressing the current generation in the language they can understand...

Some *inside* info on the sales:

1) Since Sivaji budget exceeded the actual one - AVM has increased the rates for all areas.

2) Abirami Ramanathan - strict in business: In City, AVM is said to have cleverly moved by giving the distribution rights to Abirami Ramanathan. Abirami is a strict business man and there's no friendship terms in his business. As expected he is dealing the Chennai business very professionally.

3) Three- in-one: Sivaji is going to be screened in 3 theatres in Abirami - Abirami, Annai Abirami, Sakthi Abirami.

4) Ramanathan has taken lease the Ega theatre also. So, Sivaji may come in Ega theatre also.

5) Different rates :Film rate for Chennai city is different for complex theatres and they can screen fully in their complex. For other theatres the rate is different.

6) Kamala's condition: Kamala theatre has signed the agreement on the condition that Sivaji shouldn't be released in AVM Rajeswari. (I heard that AVM Rajeswari belongs to AVM Balasubramaniam)

7) Divide and sell: NSC area is one of the biggest areas in film distribution network of Tamil Nadu. Since the rate was exorbitant (15 crores) in this area many hesitated to buy. So, the area has been divided into three different areas. 1)North Arcot 2) South Arcot 3) Chenglepet.

8) The Nag Ravi connection: Nag Ravi has bought South Arcot for a whopping amount of 4.5 crores.

9) Shanthi pulls out: Shanthi has withdrawn from race since it felt that the rate was too high. And now Devi is in the race.

10) Albert - a big ?: Uncertainity prevails in Albert and no idea whether the film would come there.

11) Sivaji sales would be the highest sale of any tamil film till date and i beleive (By God's grace) this would be beat by Superstar's next film alone.

12) Ippo illati eppo? Each and every time, many distributors withdraw at the last moment in buying the Superstar film and those who bought the film bravely used to reap the benefits by getting multiple times of their investment. Same thing is going to happen in Sivaji. Pyramid Saimira which missed the Tamil Nadu bus will surely regret for missing distributing rights of Sivaji. (It is rumoured that AVM asked a total of 60 crores for Tamil Nadu and Pyramid backed out saying 'No'

Sivaji in Kerala
IndiaGlitz [Friday, May 25, 2007]

Sivaji will make its release on June 15 in Kerala.

Even though, the row between the film chamber and distributors association on the number of releases stations, have not yet find a solution, the film will at least make a release on 45 centres all across the state.

Meanwhile the songs of the film have already become big hits in the state too.

With lakhs of assured fans of Rajini in the state, the distributed is expected to make a good returns for his investment.

Rajini gearing up for next movie

Here is a great news for Rajini fans who are already in Sivaji fever. With the hype buzz created by Sivaji has not settled
down yet, Superstar Rajinikanth is getting ready for his next film, sources say.

Circles close to him said the top actor of Kollywood had selected the story for his next venture and a leading director, who gave blockbusters with Rajini in the past, will wield the megaphone for the movie.Confirming this, poet Vairamuthu says, �I got an invitation from Rajini a few days ago to immediately come to his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam. There, Rajini explained me the story line of his next movie and I was very much attracted by it. No doubt, this one too is going to be a blockbuster.�

Nerd,

It is not exactly 60 crores but in the range og 60 to 70 crores and that is why the producers AVM have been asking for high rates. How can you sell a commodity for lower price when the outcome itself is HIGH? Some hubbers laugh out loudly here without understanding these basics.

I am sure Sivaji gonna beat all the records of records and create history of history sorts....Wait for the Rajini's TOP NOTCH PERFORMANCE....

Thats the bottomline leo! The problem is with the slash in ticket prices. AVM is asking prices that would suit their sale price, but it looks exorbitant. For example in CBE they are asking around 7 crores, wherein CM has collected only 3.5 crores and no distributer is willing to buy that movie with that price. Lets seeeeeeeeee

Sujatha's trailor on Sivaji
(5/26/2007)

சிவாஜி படத்தின் வசனகர்த்தாவும் முன்னணி எழுத்தாளருமான சுஜாதா, சிவாஜி பற்றிய விஷயங்களை வாசகர்களுடன் பகிர்ந்து கொள்கிறார்.

ச ;ப்பர் ஸ்டார் நடித்த காயத்ரி, ப்ரியா, நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும் போன்ற படங்களை தொடர்ந்து சிவாஜி படத்திலும் சுஜாதா வசனம் எழுதியிருக்கிறார்.

தமிழ் சினிமாவின் ரசனையை பின்னுக்கு தள்ளிவிட்டதாக படையப்பாவுக்கு விமர்சனம் எழுதிய சுஜாதா, ரஜினி படத்துக்கு கதை, வசனம் எழுதியதே ஆச்சர்யமான விஷயம். பாபா படத்திற்கும் சுஜாதா தான் வசனம் எழுதுவதாக இருந்தது.

பாய்ஸ் சறுக்கலுக்கு பின்னர் சிவாஜி, சுஜாதாவுக்கு நல்ல பெயரை வாங்கி தரும் என்று நம்பிக்கையோடு சொல்கிறார் சுஜாதாவின் வாசகர்கள். பார்க்கலாம்!

சிவாஜி பற்றி சுஜாதா என்னதான் சொல்கிறார்?
"1. �சிவாஜி� ரஜினி படமா, ஷங்கர் படமா?

ரஜினி நடிக்கும் ஷங்கர் படம்.

2. ரஜினி ரசிகர்களின் எதிர்-பார்ப்புகள் அனைத்தும் நிறை-வேறுமா?

நிறைவேறும், அவரது ச ;ப்பர் ஸ்டார் அந்தஸ்துக்குப் பங்கம் வராமல்! அதே சமயம்...

3. அதே சமயம்..?

ஒரு ஷங்கர் படத்தின் கதைத் திருப்பங்களுக்கும் சுவாரஸ்யமான முரண்பாடுகளுக்கும் பிரமாண்டத்துக்கும் குறைவிருக்காது.

4. ரஜினி என்றால், பன்ச் டயலாக் இருக்குமா?

இருக்கிறது. விவேக் ம ;லம் சொல்ல வைத்துவிட்டோம். பன்ச்சுக்கு பன்ச்; டிக்னிட்டிக்கு டிக்னிட்டி!

5. ஏன் இத்தனை தாமதம்?

நல்ல கேள்வி! படத்தில் பணிபுரிந்த அத்தனை கலைஞர்களும் இந்தியாவின் சிறந்த கலைஞர்கள். ரஜினி, ஷங்கர், ஏவி.எம். படம் என்பதால் தனிப்பட்ட சிரத்தையுடன் பார்த்துப் பார்த்துச் செய்ததால் தாமதம். லேட்டாக வந்தாலும் நீட்டாக வந்திருக்கிறது.

6. படத்தின் theme என்ன?

�சிவாஜி� அமெரிக்காவிலிருந்து வந்து, முதல் பாதியில் விழுகிறார்; இரண்டாம் பாதியில் எழுகிறார்!

7. கொஞ்சம் விவரமாகச் சொல்லுங்களேன்..?

சொல்கிறேனே... அடுத்த வாரம்! "

Rajini as MGR and Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, May 26, 2007]

Every single bit of news about Rajinikanth's Sivaji is making headlines. So much is the expectation surrounding the movie which is slated for release on 15 June. A mega-budgeted movie produced by AVM. Sivaji has Rajinikanth looking fresh and cool courtesy Manish Malhotra.

The latest buzz doing rounds is that director Shankar has shot a song sequence for Sivaji featuring Rajinikanth in different makeup. Interestingly Rajinikanth appears as MGR, Sivaji Ganesan, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth himself in the song. For the Telugu version, Rajinikanth appeared as N T Ramarao and Chiranjeevi.

Shankar, who is known to shoot his song sequences in an interesting manner, has reportedly canned the song in a slick manner.

Say sources in the Sivaji unit, �The song will rock the theatre. A visual treat for the Rajini-fans�.

Rajnikant cries halt to fans' frenzy over 'Sivaji'
26th May 2007 14.00 IST
By Agencies

Even as his innumerable fans are making hectic preparations to celebrate the release of his 100th film in Tamil, Sivaji on June 15, Rajnikant has sought to restrain them by directing them not to go overboard and cause public nuisance.

Rajnikant fans, who had been waiting for the release of 'Sivaji' two years after their celluloid hero's hit Chandramukhi , are virtually painting Tamil Nadu red, as it were, putting up huge cut outs and digital banners hailing their celluloid hero.

However, Rajnikant, who after a long gap met with his fans in Chennai last month on the eve of the release of 'Sivaji� on Thursday issued 'five commandments' to his fans asking them to maintain decorum while indulging in the bash.

Rajnikant�s directives issued included not to disturb public by indulging in extravagant celebrations, not to burst crackers on the roads disrupting vehicular traffic, not to put up welcome arches, not to write any political slogans on the digital banners and not to write message hurting the sentiments of the people.

Rajnikant also directed his fans not to disturb the audience while watching the film in theatres.

The expectation about the film among Rajnikant's fans is all the more great, what with the release date having been postponed thrice. The film, produced by the prestigious AVM productions banner and directed by 'Indian' fame Shankar , was originally scheduled to be released on Tamil New Year day on April 14. But it was postponed to May 31 and now to June 15.

No dont worry, that camera man dude, K.V. Anand said that the Sahana song was his favourite ( in terms of picturisation [I tink is was Bru Stars Ungaludan{on Jeya TV

Seriously, I don't think many want Rajini to play a performance oriented role in Sivaji. Rajini sir is in his last legs of his career, and people want to see him do what he his best at. They want him to overwhelm them with his style and charisma.

I am sure Sivaji will have enough of it [or even a overdose of it]. In that case Sivaji is on route for a 1000 day run....

சிவாஜியை வைத்து காசு பார்க்கும் நோக்கில் ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனத்தையே வம்புக்கு இழுக்கும் வகையில் தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கம் பிரச்சனை செய்து வருவதால் தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சங்கம், நடிகர் சங்கம், விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் சங்கம் ஆகியவை கடுப்பாகியுள்ளனவாம்.

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த் நடிக்க ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் பிரமாண்டமாகத் தயாரித்துள்ள படம் சிவாஜி. ஜூன் 15ம் தேதி திரைக்கு வருவதாக அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

இந்த நிலையில் தியேட்டர்காரர்கள் ரூபத்தில் புதிதாக ஒரு சிக்கல் கிளம்பியுள்ளது சிவாஜிக்கு. அதாவது சிவாஜி உள்பட இனிமேல் வெளியாகும் படங்களை சதவீத அடிப்படையில்தான் வாங்குவோம் (அதாவது லாபத்தில் பங்கு என்ற அடிப்படையில்) என்று தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கம் திடீரென அறிவித்தது.

இதனால் சிவாஜி தரப்பு அதிர்ச்சி அடைந்தது. இதுவரை இல்லாமல் திடீரென சிவாஜி ரிலீஸாகும் தேதியை அறிவித்த பின்னர் இப்படி தியேட்டர்கார்ரகள் கூறியதால், இது சிவாஜியைக் குறி வைத்து வெளியான அறிவிப்பு என்று அவர்கள் சந்தேகித்தனர்.

முன்பு போல இல்லாமல், இப்போதெல்லாம் 3 வருடத்திற்கு ஒரு ரஜினி படம்தான் வருகிறது. இந்த சமயத்தில் காசு பார்த்தால்தான் ஆச்சு என்ற நோக்கில்தான் இந்த முடிவுக்கு தியேட்டர்காரர்கள் வந்துள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

தியேட்டர்காரர்கள் எடுத்துள்ள இந்த முடிவுக்குப் பின்னணியில் உள்ளதாக கூறப்படும் தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கத் தலைவர் அண்ணாமலை, ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனத்துக்கு எதிராக தீவிரமாக உள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

சிவாஜி லாபத்தில் ஓடி விட்டால் சரி, ஒருவேளை நஷ்டத்தில் ஓடினால் என்ன செய்வது. இழப்பீடு கோரி ரஜினியிடம் கூட பணத்தை வாங்கி விடலாம். ஆனால் ஏவி.எம்.மிடிருந்து ஒரு பைசாவைக் கூட வாங்க முடியாதே என்று அவர் தியேட்டர்காரர்களிடம் பேசி வருவதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

தமிழகம் முழுவதும் 1800 தியேட்டர்கள் உள்ளன. இதில் 400 தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் ஏவி.எம். தரப்புக்கு ஆதரவாக உள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. மற்றவர்கள்தான் பிரச்சினை செய்து வருகின்றனர்.

தற்போது எழுந்துள்ள பிரச்சினைக்கு தீர்வு ஏற்படுவதற்குப் பதில் மேலும் மேலும் தீவிரமாகி வருவதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. எனவே சிவாஜி படம் சிக்கலின்றி திரைக்கு வருமா என்பதில் பெரும் சந்தேகம் எழுந்துள்ளது. சிவாஜியை வைத்து திரையுலகமே பிளவுபடும் சூழ்நிலையும் எழுந்துள்ளது.

இதற்கிடையே, தியேட்டர்காரர்களின் இந்த திடீர் போர்க்கொடியால், கடுப்பாகியுள்ள தயாரிப்பாளர் சங்கம், நடிகர் சங்கம், விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் சங்கம் ஆகியவை ஏவி.எம்.முக்கு ஆதரவாக களம் இறங்கத் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளன.

இந்தப் பிரச்சினை காரணமாக சிவாஜி திட்டமிட்டபடி ஜூன் 15ம் தேதி ரிலீஸ் ஆகாது, மேலும் சில நாட்கள் தள்ளிப் போகலாம் என்று கூறப்படுகிறது.

இதற்கிடையே, இதுவரை நான்கு முக்கிய ஏரியாக்களின் விநியோக உரிமைதான் விற்பனையாகியுள்ளதாம். சென்னை சிட்டி, கோவை, நெல்லை, நாகர்கோவில் ஆகியவை மட்டுமே விற்பனையாகியுள்ளதாம்.

என்.எஸ்.சி எனப்படும் வட ஆற்காடு, தென் ஆற்காடு, செங்கல்பட்டு ஏரியாவை வாங்க ஆஸ்கர் பிலிம்ஸ் ரவிச்சந்திரன் முயன்றார். ஆனால் விலை அதிகம் கூறப்பட்டதால் அவர் விலகிக் கொண்டு விட்டாராம்.

தற்போதைய நிலையில் சிவாஜி ரிலீஸ் திட்டமிட்டபடி இருக்காது என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. ஆனால் சொன்ன தேதிக்கு கரெக்டாக படம் ரிலீஸாகும் என ஏவி.எம். தரப்பில் உறுதியாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

Thineshan.. !! Bro.. you always.. got the RITE INFO about the movie.. so far.. why are you doubting your info... now... !!

I already said that I am not sure about how reliable this is. And I never gave info before for it to be right. u need to stop shoving ur stinky nose in people's comments. Not all info can be attained from AVM themselves -- even they dont know when they r releasing the movie! u hurt people's feelings u dumb ****!! and u call urself a rajini fan??? This is not the first time u condemned my posts! This is my first time giving u guys a date and I only did because I heard it from my cousin in India.
BTW u r not the only rajini fan here, there r many people waiting for the release including me and there is no reason for me to lie about this. It hurts me as much as it hurts a rajini fan.
Learn to give respect and take it. Its not a one-sided thing.
My hubbing experience is becoming bad because of one person: Dilbert. I had so much fun in Rahman's forum. I thought rajini fans would be just as respectful and easy-going. I am not saying everyone here r disrespectful. There are some really nice people like bayarea, nerd and hulkster and many more. Dont just call ur self a rajini fan dilbert, try to act like one!

I think the news is true to a certain extent, this what the one of the mods of Rajini Yahoo groups wrote:

Regarding business of Sivaji and problems

What abuthageer posted and that came in thatstamil.com is true. Since many theatres are feeling that `Make money now - otherwise never' they are making troubles and AVM is trying and fighting hard to settle them out. I hope everything will be sorted out within time and Boss hits the screens by June 15. At the same time, we can't rule out the possibility of further postponement. (Namma thalaivar ippadi ethukumae vayae thirakama irundha � idhuvum varum, idhukku maelaiyum problems varum � appadinnu naan sollala � inga ellarum solraanga) They know that Rajini won't intervene and they are doing these things without conscience and boldly.

From: thineshan54321 on Sun May 27 21:46:29 2007. [Full View]

the reason i posted is so other people can read ramesh's reply (postponement of sivaji is important i presume). You can comment for sure, but why do u have to condemn me for the news i gave? If AVM decides to postpone is it my fault? I am only a messenger, not a direct one but still...

Whether u like it or not, I have a definition of rajini and his fans and all i am trying to say is u dont match that definition. You can still call urself a rajini fan if u want... but keep it to urself... people r gonna get a bad impression of a rajini fan...

dont try to cover up ur sarcasm, i know in what meaning u said that: "you always got rite infos to the hub.. why are you doubting your info.. now.. !!"

you want me to growup? so u want me to replace the * with letters? i am still only 16, so thats why *, sry about that. Maybe when i grow up (over 18), ill restrict myself from *.

If being on the "Bad side of the Table" doesnt matter to you, then it doesnt, but it matters to people around u...

w/e man, if i give u an opinion, then condemn that opinion, not me. Dont say stuff like "yaar petha pillayo, ippadi pithu pidichurukku".

And if i give u news condemn that news or the people reason for those news, not me!

hope u understand

இதற்கான அதிகாரப்பூர்வ அறிவிப்பு வரும் 3-ந்தேதி வெளியாக உள்ளது. ஆகஸ்டு மாதம் 15-ந்தேதி கலைஞர் டி.வி. ஒளிபரப்பு தொடங்க உள்ளது. இதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகள் மும்முரமாக நடந்து வருகின்றன.

"கலைஞர் டி.வி.''க்கான தலைமையகம் அண்ணா அறிவாலயத்தில் திறக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

"கலைஞர் டி.வி.''யில் செய்திகள், மெகா தொடர்கள், மற்றும் மக்கள் மனம் கவரும் பொழுது போக்கு அம்சங் களை வித்தியாசமாக வழங்க ஆலோசனை நடந்து வருகிறது. இதற்காக ஏ.வி.எம்., ராடன் உள்பட பிரபல நிறுவனங்களுடன் பேச்சுவார்த்தை நடத்தி முடிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.கலைஞர் டி.வி.யில் பணிபுரிவதற்கான ஆட்கள் தேர்வும் மும்முரமாக நடந்து வருகிறது. இன்னும் சில தினங்களில் இவர்கள் பணியைத் தொடங்க உள்ளனர்.

இதற்கிடையே "கலைஞர் டி.வி.''க்காக புதிய மற்றும் பழைய படஉரிமைகளை வாங்கும் முயற்சிகளும் விறு விறுப்பாக நடந்து வருகிறது. மற்ற டி.வி.சானல்களுக்கு இணையாக திரைப்படங் களின் உரிமையை பெறும் வகையில் கலைஞர் டி.வி. நிர்வாகிகள் நடவடிக்கைகளில்

பொதுவாக ஒரு திரைப்படத்தில் நடித்துள்ள நடிகர், நடிகைகள், கதை அம்சம் ஆகியவற்றின் அடிப்படையில்தான் டி.வி. உரிமைக்கான தொகை பேசப்படும். அந்த வகையில் சிவாஜிபட உரிமையை பெற டி.வி.சானல்களிடையே பலத்த போட்டி நிலவியது.

பல கோடி ரூபாய் இதற்காக பேசப்பட்டது. யாருக்கு சிவாஜி பட உரிமை கிடைக்கும் என்ற எதிர்பார்ப்பு நிலவியது. இந்த நிலையில் `சிவாஜி' படத்தின் உரிமை "கலைஞர் டி.வி.''க்கு கிடைத்துள்ளது.

இதற்கிடையே ராஜ் டி.வி. குழுமத்தின் தலைவர் ராஜேந்திரன் தி.மு.க.வில் இணைய உள்ளார். இதனால் தி.மு.க.-ராஜ் டி.வி. இடையிலான நெருக்கம் வலுப்பட்டுள்ளது.

AVM denies reports on Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Monday, May 28, 2007]

AVM Saravanan, producer of Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji, has denied reports appeared in a section of the press that the movie would be telecast on 15 August on satellite channel.

Talking to News Today, Saravanan said, �The television rights of Sivaji had been sold to a private television channel, which would become operational from Independence Day�.

�However there is no iota of truth in the reports that the channel would telecast the movie on its inaugural day itself,� he added.

Saravanan said, �We are bound by the rules and regulations of the Tamil Film Producers Council that stipulate that no new movie can be telecast within a couple of years of its release on any satellite channel�.

The film directed by Shankar is scheduled for release on 15 June. Produced by AVM in its diamond jubilee year, Sivaji has Rajinikanth, Shriya, Suman and Vivek among others in the lead roles.

Music is by A R Rahman and cinematography by K V Anand. Ever since the movie hit the floors, hype and expectations have been on a high.

But what has politics got to do here? They have not sold the rights for free. Those who pay the highest will get the rights.

Ramesh, do you think that sun tv would have bid a lower amount than Klgr tv ?? I was told that sun tv had already almost finalized the deal. This was before the split. Now since klgr is more powerful than maaRan, AVM has sold it to them. Simple

As per the sources.. virtually only 3 Channels were left in the last round out of 7

TATA is 3rd contender.. And Best part .. is Klgr TV was not even in the picture when the bidding started.. How do you think they managed to get this deal..?

How do you know that SUN TV's bid was higher or lower to Klgr's? We can just speculate on this without any knowledge of the truth. Sure there can be a political angle too. But we can never say for sure.

Some sources also say Klgr TV got the rights by bidding a price that awed Sun TV.

So we can't say anything for sure. Until AVM or Klgr TV or Sun TV or the others involved in the bidding process let the cat out of the box in this issue. But I presume nothing of the sort will happen...

***OFFICIAL*** Trailer On May 31st

Sivaji's release date once again became a hot topic for discussion. A few days ago it was announced officially that the movie would be released on June 15. When everyone thought that the decks have been finally cleared there were talks doing rounds that certain issues were yet to be resolved. This created doubts in Kollywood whether the movie would be screened on the selected day.

To update all its readers, behindwoods team probed into the matter to find out the truth. Now, we have from reliable sources that The Boss will arrive on June 15 as planned. And that is not all. Sivaji's official trailer release date has also been announced. It's on May 31. That is a huge relief to Rajini's fans.

How many surveys you conduct among the Tamilnadu public to name their favourite star, it is Superstar Rajinikanth to occupy the top position. Proving this once again, the recent State- level opinion poll made by Loyola College said Rajini tops the list, with a majority of the people participated in the poll voted in favour of him.

Announcing this at a press conference yesterday, professor Rajanayagam of the college said Kollywood superstar Rajni Kanth tops the list as 23.4 per cent people support him. He was followed by actor Vijay with 12 per cent, actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth (10.2 per cent), Kamalhasan (8.5 per cent) and Ajith (6.1 per cent). At the same time, 17.5 per cent of people had said that Rajni Kanth would enter politics.

Among the actresses, Trisha tops with 18.5 per cent while Jyotika ranks second with 16.8 per cent and Asin 15.1 per cent.

On actor Sarath Kumar's foray into politics, 35.6 per cent had said he would start a new political party, while 19.2 per cent said such a decision would help the Nadar community. This survey was conducted among various sections of people numbering 3,466 across the State.

(Now, a few will argue that, either this is a false survey... or, layola college students are fools... )

Vivek is there too.Rajini padathula style irukkum.......Idhuleeyum kandipaga irupathu pol therigirathu.

saw thetrailor, looks like rehash of shankar formula

the scenes where sivaji worries of his color, and the 'full powder' comedy, all leads to 'oru koodai' song.....

shankar usually will crisscross something in trailors which will sharply mislead the audience....i forgot Indian trailor but remember Boys - a scene where the gndu boy drums and next scene shows a full apartment in shake, but in film, that was actually because of earthquake...didnt find anything like that in sivaji trailor...

the trailor ensures the existing thought that visuals will be great\rich. but it didnt increase or generate new interest.....hmm lets see

From: nickraman on Wed May 30 20:57:11 2007. [Full View]

Impressions....watchable.

Has Shankar run out of ideas? Seems like a direct rehash of Mudhalvan. Ironic that his protege's are coming up with trendsetters and he's still stuck with "formula for the masses" which failed for 2 (3, if you count Aparichit.)

Why the change on SS's entry card? They should've been smart and recycle from the one they used in Chandramukhi. Again, techinically brilliant team from Shankar's wing, but seriously though the midriff exposure from the scantly clad dancers and Shriya's bare-naked back made me think it should've gotten the U/A it should've received,but people these days.... Also, the gimmicky fights look disorted. I can come up with better stunts for Rajni than that.

BGM is passable. Nothing "wow" from ARR since well, it's not the greatest album in the world. Say what you want about Jeyaraj, he can give better tunes and he's proabably got more chartbusters post ARR's Bollywood departure (say...mid 2000.) Not that I detract him (I'm one of his big fans since the 90s!) I just wish he didn't have to go "rap" on this. Better luck next time.

Good to see Vivek in form after his disaterous outing in his last couple of apperances. I still remember him from Boys. It was probably one his best roles yet, Mangalam sir was the true hero of that movie. Let's hope he does that performance here in this hyped up movie since the Abhi-Ash saga.

Yeah, Shriya's hyped up role is nothing but the "token" wooden-face heroine who is nothing but Shankar's moll. Going by the Shankar-heroine track record: Madhoo whined, Nagma cried, Manisha worried, Urmila whined-again, Manisha worried again, Sada's whinied annnd Shriya does both. Notice that Genelia was the better heroine's. She's got a full career now post boys and the rest well....don't (Save for Sadha post UU.) Don't expect much from her.

Rajni...well...he's improved...from the hackeyned Chandramukhi. His gimmicks though (read glasses flipping, punch talking) were...surprisingly less. Chandramukhi was nothing but an ad for Rajni's slump of revival. I think this time he hits the bullet. The getups though...complete turn-off. I like the guy, but can he give me a "Thalapathi?" I did like M.S Bhaskar's bit and Suman's role.

Story. Like I said earlier, a rehash of Mudhalvan and shades of Indian. It also bares a heavy influence from Chiranjeevi's "Stalin"/English film - "Pay it Forward." Did I mention Paddiyappa?" So really there's nothing new story wise.

It looks like the saying "all gloss but no soul" but I'll save that for when the film's out. Looks like a timepass flick.

Rajni turns to 30!
(5/29/2007)

How do you pass off for a 30-year-old when you're actually 60? It's all in the hair and International hairdresser Sandrine Verrier Seth, who�s behind superstar Rajnikanth's new look, knows a thing or two about that.

From short, blonde, long - to no hair at all � Rajnikanth and his leading lady sport a variety of hairstyles in the much-awaited Sivaji.

And here's what's in store for Rajni fans from the hairstylist herself. �In that movie you'll see a lot of short hair and foreign style-mostly western style than the other-lots of different looks,� says Sandrine.

She has earlier worked for director Shankar's in other films such as Anniyan and Boys - both of which have been hairstyle trendsetters.

So now expect a young, suave Rajini to sizzle on the on screen once again.

Rumour has it that the superstar is going to look half his age in the film.

�Because of the make-over he'll look younger. Even Vikram in Anniyan had such a big change - he looked younger in the movie than previously. With the makeovers, you can change people so much,� said Sandrine.

�He has a different hairstyle in every song. With his makeup and glasses, he looks awesome,� said a Rajnikanth fan.

So as long as the superstar makes his comeback in his signature style, all is fine with his fans.

TV rights with Kalaingar TV
(5/29/2007)

"ரஜினி நடித்த, "சிவாஜி' படத்தின், "டிவி' உரிமை ம ;ன்று வருடங்களுக்கு பிறகு ஒளிபரப்ப வேண்டும் என்ற ஒப்பந்தத்தின் அடிப்படையில் கலைஞர் "டிவி'க்கு விற்கப்பட்டுள்ளது,'' என்று ஏவி.எம்.சரவணன் தெரிவித்தார்.

படத்தின், "டிவி' உரிமையை வாங்குவதற்கு சன், ஜெயா, கலைஞர் "டிவி'க்கள் இடையே பலத்த போட்டி இருந்தது. ஏவி.எம்., நிறுவனம் தர்ம சங்கடமான நிலையில் இருந்தது.

கலைஞர், "டிவி'க்கு உரிமையை வாங்குவதற்காக கருணாநிதியின் நம்பிக்கைகுரியவர் ம ;லம் து�து அனுப்பப்பட்டது. "படத்தை கலைஞர் "டிவி'க்கு கொடுங்கள். தலைவரும் விரும்புகிறார். நீங்கள் என்ன தொகை எதிர்பார்க்கிறீர்களோ அந்த தொகையை(!) தந்து விடுகிறோம்' என்றும் உத்தரவாதம் அளிக்கப்பட்டது.

இது குறித்து ஏவி.எம்.சரவணன் க ;றும்போது, ""கலைஞர் "டிவி'க்கு புதிய படங்கள் வாங்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றன. இந்த வகையில் "சிவாஜி' படமும் ம ;ன்று வருட ஒப்பந்தம் அடிப்படையிலேயே வழங்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

இந்த படம் தியேட்டரில் வெளியானதிலிருந்து ம ;ன்று ஆண்டுகள் கழித்து தான் "டிவி'யில் ஒளிபரப்ப வேண்டும். கலைஞர் "டிவி'யில் வரும் ஆகஸ்ட் மாதம் துவக்க விழா அன்று "சிவாஜி' ஒளிபரப்பப்பட உள்ளதாக வந்த செய்தி தவறானது. தமிழ்த் திரைப்படத் தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சங்க வரைமுறைகளுக்கு உட்பட்டு, ஒப்பந்தம் ய்யப்பட்டுள்ளதால் இதை யாரும் மீற முடியாது,'' என்று தெரிவித்தார்.

It's one of the biggest movies ever made in Tamil cinema and now the exclusive television rights of the movie will go to the DMK's yet to be launched Kalaignar TV. The producers of Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji have chosen Kalaignar TV over the Maran family-owned Sun network.

�Yes, we have sold it (rights) to Kalaignar TV and the movie will be telecast three years later as per producers council norms,� AVM Productions� MS Guhan said.

So far the Maran family-owned Sun Network had virtually bought rights for every big Tamil movie including Rajni film. This is the first time, Sun TV is loosing one Rajni film.

The market for movie rights is estimated at close to Rs 0 crore a year. Other players like Star, Raj and Jaya TV were virtually out of the picture but the split between the Maran's and Karunanidhi's led to the birth of Kalaignar TV, the DMK run channel is yet to be launched but it's biggest victory so far is the rights for Sivaji.

எப்படியோ ஆரம்பிப்பதற்கு முன்பாகவே மீடியாவை கலகலக்க வைத்திருக்கிறது கலைஞர் டி.வி. ஆகஸ்ட் 15 அன்று சிவாஜி டி.வியில் ஒளிபரப்பாகும் என்று செய்தி கிளப்பிவிட்டு தினகரனை தோற்கடித்துவிட்டதாக தினமணிக்கு சந்தோஷம். எதற்கும் அசைந்து கொடுக்காத ஏவிஎம் நிறுவனமோ கர்மசிரத்தையாக கல்லாப்பெட்டியை எண்ணிக்கொண்டிருந்ததை நிறுத்திவிட்டு விளக்கம் சொல்ல முன்வந்திருக்கிறார்கள். ஆளாளுக்கு ரசிகர்களை குழப்ப, படம் வருமா, வராதா என்று டென்ஷனில் இருக்கும் ரசிகர்களை ரஜினிதான் காப்பாற்றவேண்டும்!

Rajini's 'Sivaji' reigns Tamil Audio

Chennai, May 29 (IANS) Not a single audio has been released in the past few weeks - all because of the uncertainty concerning the release of 'Sivaji'. So, the 'Sivaji' album, by A.R. Rahman, still rules the charts.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. 'Sivaji' - Music Director: A.R. Rahman. If Rajnikant fans prefer the 'Balleilaka' and 'Vaaji vaaji' songs, music lovers prefer the melody, 'Sahara pookal' which is crooned beautifully by Vijay Yesudas and Gomathishree.

2. 'Unnale Unnale' - Music Director: Harris Jayaraj. The composer delivers one more hit. The favourite of the album is 'June ponna' sung by Krish and Arun.

3. 'Mozhi' - Music Director: Vidyasagar. 'Mozhi' is undoubtedly the best album of 2007.

4. 'Chennai 600028' - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. 'Saroja saman nikalo' by Shankar Mahadevan and 'Prem Gi Amaren' are a rage among the youth.

5. 'Naan Avan Illai' - Music Director: Vijay Antony. The song 'Ean Enakku' sung by Jayadev and Sangeetha Rajeswaran is there in all the FM channels - a hot song from the not-so-hot album.

First trailer of Sivaji out
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, May 30, 2007]

Rajinikanth rocks, this is the most prominent of views coming from the populace of Tamil Nadu as the first trailer of Sivaji ---The Boss was unveiled by a leading English news channel yesterday.

The slick and stylish trailer shows us a glimpse of what is to follow.

Rajinikanth, with three different hair-dos and some funky hairstyle (for a comedy sequence) is positively radiant and young. He is shown in a bleached blond look. He also sports Rastafarian dreadlocks.

Apparently, Shreya finds him too swarthy and this becomes a complex for Rajini as he asks his mother (Vadivukkarasi) as to why he gave birth to him as a dark complexioned child.

Rajni is also shown to take on the baddies and talks grandly of serving the public.

The songs too seem to have picturised with typical Shankar flair and his unmistakable yen for graphics and grandeur.

All in all, Sivaji�s trailer has kindled the appetite for more.

'Sivaji' trailer hints at movie story

Anything to do with Rajinikanth starrer 'Sivaji' is news these days. Although the movie is yet to hit the big screen, the exclusive trailer that was launched today on a popular national news channel did create some major excitement on the small screen.

Going by the trailer, it does seem Shankar has come up with another movie based on a social message wrapped in a dose of entertainment. The trailer also shows superstar Rajinkanth appearing in a variety of makeovers suggesting ample scope for his performance.

Althouth the movie release has been delayed for a while now, it has been finally confirmed for 15th of this June. The trailer is definitely a great teaser and fans are absolutely in for a real treat when the big movie hits the big screen soon.

Kanika too hopes high on Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, May 29, 2007]

Eagerly awaiting the release of Rajini starrer Sivaji is Kanika. Though the actress is not part of the star cast, Kanika has lent her voice for Shriya in the movie.

Introduced by director Susi Ganesan in Five Star, Kanika rose to stardom with successful outings in movies like Ethiree and Varalaru. She hogged the limelight after Shankar chose her to dub for Sada in Anniyan. Continuing her good run behind the screen, Kanika was chosen to dub for Shriya in Sivaji.

Talking about Sivaji, she says, �Being a Shankar�s film, I thrilled, in being part of the show. I was called for a voice test. After a week, the call came promptly assigning me the task�.

Kanika says, �It was a fabulous experience to work in Sivaji. I enjoyed watching every frame while on the act of lending my voice�.

Going gaga with Sivaji trailer
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, May 31, 2007]

Rajnikanth fans were thrilled after seeing the trailers of Sivaji which was screened at several television channels since Wednesday.

Sivaji has been in the news since the day it went to floors. Everything and anything about Sivaji managed to get media attention.

The release of trailer on Wednesday in few satellite channels has kindled the curiosity more among Rajnikanth fans. It's packaged well.

�I was floored after seeing my star so young and refreshing�, says an avid Rajni fan.

The trailer features few punch dialogues by Rajnikanth besides the actor appearing in flashy costumes.

An office-bearer of the Rajnikanth Fans Association says, �We hope the trailer is just a sample. The release of the movie is just round the corner. We are eagerly waiting for the D-day�.

The movie is releasing with over 600 prints and in Chennai city it would be screened in over dozen cinema halls.

Grandeur, thy name is Sivaji.

Internet gives Sivaji nightmares
Wednesday - May 30, 2007
Televisionpoint.com Correspondent

Want a first look at Sivaji, the Rajnikanth-produced Tamil film? Don't waste time flipping through the popular TV channels, just log on to Youtube. The popular site has once again pipped several channels to the post and recorded thousands of hits after news that the Sivaji trailer had been posted online spread.

Sources say the when the AVM bigwigs heard about the leak, they immediately released the trailer to NDTV. This is not the first time the Internet has played villain to the producers. Recently, they incurred substantial losses after four songs from the movie were posted online even before the official launch of the audio.

Then too, the producers did a very rushed damage control operation and organised and audio release. However, but then, enterprising businessmen were making CDs by downloading the songs off the Internet and selling them on the roads for as little as Rs 10 and Rs 20. To combat this, even though the cassettes and CDs very priced at lower rates than originally planned, sources say that the producers incurred a substantial revenue loss as a result of the leak.

Not only is the trailer available, all the songs and some related interviews have been posted on youtube.com, making it a virtual treat for all Rajni fans. Looks like the Internet is proving to be a bigger threat for the producers, one that they wouldn't have anticipated.

No more delays for Sivaji
Thursday May 31 2007 07:43 IST

The release of the much hyped Rajanikanth starrer Sivaji has again been postponed. It was earlier announced that the film would hit the screens on May 31, but the release has been postponed to June 15.

It seems the release is jinxed because it has been several times for unknown reasons.

June 15, we hear, now has been fixed as the final date. �No further delays�, promises Bellamkonda Suresh, who has the film rights for Andhra area.

On Tuesday, he released the trailers of the film and Rajanikanth sure looks impressive in them. Said Bellamkonda: ��We would like to screen the trailers from May 31 on all the 265 screens on which Sivaji is releasing on June 15.

Sivaji Review - First in the media
By Madan Mohan, NewYork,USA
Sivaji

Everything related to Sivaji is First.

First time - Rajinikanth has given close to two years of bulk dates to a movie. First time - coming together of Rajinikanth-Shankar-AR.Rahman trio. First time - an Indian movie is produced for more than 60 crores and so on�..so why not add another first to this list�..and who else than Team Behindwoods to do it....First time - a review on a trailer of a movie� pera keta vudana chumma athiruthilla...
Hair Raising � Two words to describe the trailer.

Style, more style and power style � a line to describe the trailer.

Let�s get one thing straight here, if Rajinikanth is making his statement with his legendary style, then Shankar is making his own with his filmmaking. Trailer is a strong indication that this movie will definitely be a movie by Shankar for Rajini. The director has top class lieutenants A.R.Rahman, K.V.Anand, Sujatha, Thota Tharani and Peter Heinz to help him in his endeavor. And if the trailer is anything to go by, then these guys are just about to show the world, why they are the best in the country. Special mention about Anthony, the wonder editor of Kollywood � he just has delivered a peach of a trailer

The preview has predominantly two make overs of Rajinikanth � one with his Billa era hairdo and another with that of Badsha era. Rendu getupillayum chumma kalakirukaru thalaivar!! Scenes where Rajinikanth comes with the Billa hairstyle seems to be the first part of the movie � with lots of fun, frolic and energy. His Badsha make over seems to be reserved for specially taking on the baddies with vigor and force.
Sivaji

First thing first, Rajinikanth�s trademark S-U-P-E-R-S-T-A-R introduction graphics seems to have been stylized by Shankar. The Man, the one and only, walks into the trailer with a chopper as his back drop with casual arrogance and ruthless ease. Be sure to be in the theatres � cause it�s going to be one hell of a walk! Expect a feast of Rajinikanth�s comedy; he seems to have stirred a riot with Vivek. The comedian looks to be a part and parcel of the hero through out the movie. Shreya looks cute in whatever little portions she has come. The stunt scenes will be a delight on a 70mm screen. The scene where the Superstar fights with a guitar is for his millions of fans. The Bachelor of Social Service seems to have mouthed lots of dialogues with heavy political overtones. �Ithu thaan en ooru, ethukku nallathu seiyama vidamataen.� �Naan enna business pannava permission kaeten. Ezhaigallukku service panrathukku ya�.

There are also a couple of rushes where Rajini keeps flipping a one rupee coin. Seems to confirm a theory on the story which goes by as a rich hero becoming pauper with just one rupee left for himself and later rising back from ashes - like a phoenix.

On the whole, a great show. Doesn�t matter if he had gone to Himalayas this summer or not, Superstar has raised the Sivaji-Fever to Himalayan heights. �Ithu chumma trailer ma, nee ennum main picture pakalayae�

ARR Rahman on Sivaji
(5/31/2007)
After recording one of the most important songs for Sivaji, the Rajnikanth-produced Tamil film, composer AR Rahman invited the director of the film Shankar to listen to it. Shankar, who has worked with Rahman on several films, could of course instantly recognise veteran singer SP Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) in the song Balleilakka.. "But who is the female singer?" he asked.

"He thought I was joking when I told him it is Rehana," says Rahman with a chuckle. Rahana is Rahman's older sister. "She has performed with me in my concerts," he adds."She has sung part of the song Chaiyya, Chaiiya in the concerts but this time she was singing for a film, and that too a very big film, and we all knew the song would be one of the biggest hits on the album. And yet I did not want to take anything for granted. I think I took upon myself a challenge and see if my sister could sing well for a big budget film."

Even with Rehana he was not sure even as she was practicing the song that he should retain her voice. "After three hours of singing, suddenly her voice sounded very different and beautiful," he reveals. "Only then did I decide to retain her voice."

What was it like composing music for Sivaji?

"It was a very special feeling," Rahman said. "The expectations were very high, since Rajni, Shankar and I were working together. And this being a very big budget film, there was little room for a flexible recording schedule. Though we recorded a different version of the same song, and ended up retaining both versions in the film, it was still a very tight schedule."

"With some of the directors I have worked the schedule has always been tight, and I like it," Rahman says. "Even then, there are a few last minute decisions. For instance, the theme song of Guru (sung by Rahman and Chitra) was thought of just two weeks before the film's release. There was no such thing with Sivaji."

In the past, for some reason the songs in a Rajnikanth film have taken time to become big hits, the composer says. "In some cases, it is only after a month of the album's release have the songs become hits," he adds. "But here from Day 1 there has been a tremendous demand for the music."

With Sivaji, there were three instant hits a few hours of the CDs release.

Apart from Balleilakka, there was the song Vaaji Vaaji, sung by Hariharan and Madhushree, and Rahman's own number. Also a big hit is Sahara.

"I have said many times how Madhushree has been evolving as a singer," he continues. "The Vaaji Vaaji song is another example of her growing status. We had to work for several hours on her Tamil rendition, but in the final reckoning I am very happy with her work."

There are stories in Indian publications that Rahman was paid Rs 3 crores for Sivaji. The composer is not commenting on the fee. But he says right from his early years, what mattered him most while composing was the situation, and how enthusasiatic a director is about music.

"I don't like the idea of a director thinking, OK, we have Rahman and we expect him to come up with good music. Composing a good score is partnership with many people including the director, lyricist, and singer." The budget of a film or the remuneration he receives has no real bearing on the final product. "Around the time I was working on big budget films, I was also composing music for relatively smaller films such as Meenaxi made by MF Hussain."

He had been told the film had no commercial prospects. "But I thought it was an interesting subject, and I was also excited that I was working with one of the greatest artsists India has produced."

Many of the tunes in Sivaji were finalised when Rahman was touring Australia or composing the music for Golden Age, Shekar Kapur's sequel to Elizabeth, in London.

"One of the interesting developments in this film's music is the way the two versions of the same song came about," Rahman continues. The song Sahara was recorded in the voices of Vijay Yesudas, son of the veteran singer and Gomathishree, daughter of Rahman's guru Dakhshinamurthi Swamigal.

"Gomathi is not just a film singer but she has an interesting voice," says Rahman. "I have plans to compose a few songs for her for a non-film album I want to produce ."

When director Shankar heard the song Sahara he liked it to some extent, but he wanted a faster moving version. That version, called Sahana, was sung by Udit Narayan and Chinmayee.

"But then we still thought the Vijay and Gomathi version had its own beauty," he adds. "Shankar decided to keep it in the film but as a background song." One guess is that it will be used in the film, similar to Yeh Hairathe in Guru.

The songs of Sivaji have become chartbusters in all the four southern states, particularly in Andhra Pradesh where the Telugu version of the sondtrack has become a must-have. According to industry insiders, over 500,000 CDs and cassettes were released and sold within a week. The Sivaji music is also huge in Malaysia and Singapore, which have a significant Tamil population.

The film also has an elaborate background score and composing it and recording it was a severe challenge to Rahman for he was also working in London on the music of Golden Age at the same time.

"I just could not go to India and spend many days recording the music for Sivaji," he says. So he asked the producer (AVM Pictures) if the music could be recorded in Prague, Czech Republic (where he has recorded many songs including one or two numbers in Meenaxi), and in London.

'Not a big deal,' the AVM honchos told Rahman, adding that it was all right if the budget went up. They were going to be very happy to have a superior score.

"You hear a good range of music," he says. He has used the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the choral singers in the country's capital.

"I don't want to give many details but in my book, the score is as important as the songs in the film."

Weekly Poll

Who do you think that responsible for the delay of Sivaji?

* AVM Production

* Shankar

* Super Star

* Distributors/Theatre Owners

__________________________________________________

My obvious choice is Shankar! Cos any of the other options dont take this long for their other movies, but with Shankar, it's the case with all his movies pretty much! But, I hope this kinda time and effort prove worth it!

I guess it will release, because other average tamil movies are releasing here normally in more than 4 screens.
From: SoftSword on Fri Jun 1 4:15:45 2007. [Full View]

No but, the other movies are released and running because, they will not get noticed much by the associations here... but for sivaji, it no longer a silent release or unfamous movie...
as even these associations are expecting the movie here, and planning the ways to protest the movie, there will be some trouble for sure...

but again... these troubles given by such poeple is a good marketing for the movie, and will increase the curiosity of the no tamil viewer as well to watch the movie...

atleast now, they are agreeing to show the movie only in four theatres... but when CM was released, there were threats that it will not be released in any...

moreover, now the situation is better...

there were lots a few years before you know...
pedastrians and bikers were given with a paper which had somethin written in kannada... and they were asked to read... whoever could not read it out were punished by then...

i mean to say cauvery verdict din do worser than this...

leave it...
padam vandhadhukku piragu news varum... everyone will be able to read, how family audiences watched the movie with ease...

why i meant that there is a digression is... as we two alone were arguing,it has become more like a debate, than like a discussion forum... i din want it to happen that way personally...

Shankar, Rajini talk on Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Friday, June 01, 2007]

The whole of Tamil Nadu is talking about Sivaji, the biggie to beat all biggies on Tamil cinema screen. But what do the two who are at the heart of the film think about it?

Rajnikanth and Shankar, the hero and the film�s director, feel pretty chuffed about it all.

Shankar, in an interview to a Tamil magazine, has said that Sivaji has given him more satisfaction than any of his previous movies.

Shankar has directed some explosive blockbusters like Indian, Anniyan and Mudhalvan (to name just a few). So far him to feel better about Sivaji than these tells a tale by itself.

Shankar said that since the project has some of best technical and artistic minds in the business, it had to be shot for over a year.

But at the end of it all, it is worth it.

What is Rajni�s view?

Well, according to Shankar, Rajni kept praising every scene during the shoot.

�I have not acted in any film remotely close to this�, Rajni is reported to have said.

But what is the story? Shankar, as ever, presents a straight bat.

�It is about a man with high ideals who wants to do something for the society. It is about educational system also�.

On the whole, Shankar has upped the ante on Sivaji.
_____________________________________________________

This is very encouraging, two big people praising about their own baby!

Miracle worker from Mumbai
NANDINI RAGHAVENDRA

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Media__Entertainment__Art/Entertainment/Miracle_worker_from_Mumbai/articleshow/2093136.cms

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SATURDAY, JUNE 02, 2007 01:55:32 AM]

He may not make as much money from films as he does from retail, yet the first association that Manish Malhotra�s name strikes is the one with Bollywood. Many from his profession have followed suit. Yet, few have broken into the bastion of South Indian cinema.

Sivaji is Malhotra�s third film with Shankar, following Hindustani and Nayak. The big difference this time was that the makeover job was done on Rajinikant. �Shankar called me when he had begun the shooting and I was really excited as I had never worked with Rajini sir. Another challenge was that with Shankar, there are different concepts. His films are larger than life, songs have so much variety and there is a lot of scope to work differently,� says Malhotra who is en route to the UK for a film awards function.

Without revealing too much of the story, Malhotra says that Rajinikant has four different looks in the film. And for the man who comes down from the US, he has given him the casual look with T shirts and capris to casual trousers with drawstrings.

As the character moves on, he dons formal suits to some jeans paired with jackets to simple corduroys as well. For the Don look where Rajini is a larger than life character, Malhotra says he has used a lot of black suede, leather and colours like burgundy. �It is definitely a completely new look for Rajini sir and clothes which he has never worn. In fact, when we were introduced, we just exchanged our names and one day he came up and said: My daughter told me that you are such a big designer,� said Malhotra.

As for Shankar, Malhotra's memories keep going back to the innumerable flights from Mumbai to Chennai and back. "Shankar is a man who believes in a lot of detailed work, so he wanted to see all the concepts, references, sketches that I did before we finalised.

He is very much involved," says Malhotra who ends by saying that films may not pay as much, but South Indian cinema, or certainly Tamil cinema pay more than Hindi cinema does. Maybe Tollywood will also begin sporting Rajini sir�s cool leather look like Amitabh Bachchan�s sexy Sam look, which Malhotra designed for Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SATURDAY, JUNE 02, 2007 01:52:25 AM]

Pin-drop silence enveloped the reasonably full hall at Kamala, a stand-alone theatre located at Vadapalani in Chennai, showing Tamil flick Karuppasamy Kuththgakaarar. The screen went blank for a moment and then filled with a larger than life hero in a smart, snazzy new look.

The management� s impromptu action � they had just received the trailer of Shankar�s new movie Sivaji, starring Rajinikant � was followed by unbelievable frenzy. The audience went crazy at the glimpse of Rajinikant on screen and erupted into high decibel whistling and dancing.

The reaction was heart-warming for the producers of India�s most expensive film till date, made at an estimated Rs 80 crore. Two weeks to the movie�s release, expectations are soaring far higher than the summer temperatures in Chennai.

Kamala is one of the five theatres within the radius of one km that will show Sivaji from June 15. Giant cutouts and festoons will cover these theatres as the D-Day nears. On that day, Rajini�s fans will drench the cut outs with packets of milk and light camphor to do aarathi. The story will be repeated in several centers from Chennai to the US to Japan where the star has a huge fan following. Tech professionals from the state working in the US have filled their blogs with plans to do just the same.

The Boss?

What makes Sivaji special apart from the astronomical sum went into its making? For one, it teams up Shankar and Rajinikant for the first time � both have enviable track records at the box office. Add A R Rahman to the equation and that will explain people queuing up in front of the audio shops at five in the morning since the audio launch a month ago. Also, the film is backed by AVM, India�s oldest production house.

Scale is one of Shankar's hallmarks. Factors like time and budgets simply do not matter to him. A song in Jeans, which featured Aishwarya Rai, was shot at the Seven Wonders of the World. Shankar�s focus is on his end product. So far, he has not failed the industry�s expectations � his only failure till date is Hindi film Nayak (a remake of his Tamil blockbuster Muthalvan).

His last film Anniyan, with Vikram in the lead, took his reputation to new heights. Instances like waiting for the orchids at Amsterdam to be in full bloom or painting a hill with portraits of MGR and Sivaji, as well as NTR and ANR (for the Telugu version), or painting a road to look like a silk sari spread over several kms helped the imagination of a generation of Tamil film buffs.

Shankar interview about Sivaji
From: m_23_bayarea on Sat Jun 2 9:42:34 2007. [Full View]

Sivaji is the buzz word
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 02, 2007]

The countdown has begun. In the next couple of weeks, the whole of Tamilnadu will reverberate with Sivaji. The costliest movie ever made in Tamil cinema, Sivaji has who's who of Tamil cinema coming together. The AVM Productions, who is known to package their movies to perfection, have been going gaga in promoting their movie.

Already big hoardings have occupied almost every street corner in Tamilnadu, cellular providers have started to run special events on the movie and trailers have been run repeatedly in all the satellite channels. The entire Kollywood is gearing up to watch the movie.

Director Shankar's promise that Sivaji would be the grandest of all his movies so far has also generated a lot of hype. Watching Rajnikanth young and refreshing has kindled greatest interest among his fans.

What more, the movie is releasing simultaneously in several countries, where the Tamils live.

Shankar says, �The trailer is just a sample and the movie has lot more to offer for the fans. Get prepared to be floored by the Rajni magic�.

�The trailer has made us more curious. We are waiting to watch Sivaji�, say Tamil film stars in chorus.

Releasing with many prints, Sivaji is keen to topple several records in the Tamil film industry.

'Rajni has got style' - Brindha
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 02, 2007]

Happy and thrilled at choreographing Rajnikanth for the introductory song in Sivaji is Brindha. She has composed the dance sequence for the song Balleilakha.

Narrates Brindha about her experience working with Sivaji, �It was thrilling and a fresh experience. Rajni has got an excellent style. The song is fast-paced and I was worried whether he would be able to do it. He picked it up very fast�.

�The song was shot near Pune with over 500 dancers at the backdrop. Shot over a week, the song has come really good. It is sure going to make Rajni fans shake their legs in theatres�, she adds.

Sivaji to hit screens on June 15

Video: http://www.ibnlive.com/videos/42046/sivaji-to-hit-screens-on-june-15.html

HAIR AND THERE: Expect a young, suave Rajini to sizzle on the screen once again.

With a first time combination of superstar Rajnikanth, hit filmmaker Shankar and music maestro AR Rahman - Sivaji the Boss is undoubtedly the hottest ticket down south this summer.

It's a film that's been kept under wraps since it went on the floors, with this first look being released only two weeks before Sivaji hits screens. And the man behind the movie has a reason for that.

Sivaji director Shankar says, "I want to retain the freshness and thrill of seeing everything for the first time."

With reports of a budget of over Rs 80 crore Sivaji-the Boss may well be India's costliest film ever. But that�s something the director Shankar is not willing to comment on.

"I don't know anything about the budget. The producers handle that," Shankar says.

The first look promises Sivaji to be an all out entertainer, showing Rajnikanth as multi-tasking as a lover, a comedian, an action hero and a reformer - just the way his fans like him.

Shankar weaves magic with Sivaji

Supriya Menon

Saturday, June 2, 2007: (Chennai):

In an exclusive interview to NDTV just ahead of the release of Sivaji, director Shankar talked about his experience of working with superstar Rajnikanth.

The new blockbuster Sivaji brings together South India's biggest star and its biggest director in what is being called the most expensive Indian film ever made.

The reclusive Shankar in a rare interview said that after an 11-year-long wait to work with the superstar, the expectations were huge and the pressure enormous to come up with something new.

"I went through hundreds of photographs from all his past films to finally zero in on two pictures. That I decided was going to be his look in Sivaji," said Shankar.

Taking on big blockbusters is not new for Shankar. He is behind box office hits like Gentleman, Jeans, Anniyan and Mudalvan.

But with Sivaji, Shankar had a new challenge to project a different side of Rajnikanth, whose frenzied following makes it hard for directors to experiment.

"We can't ignore the superstar image. At the same time no compromise can be made in the story. In this movie we walked that thin line. Keeping his image in mind we can't do certain things. But there are things where I can visualize no actor except Rajnikanth," said Shankar.

"In this movie there's one portion where Rajni shaved his head and he looks stunning. We were shocked to see him do so," added the director.

While Sivaji's plot is a closely guarded secret like much of the making itself, one thing is for sure that the Shankar style will be unmistakable throughout.

Actual story:

Rajini is playing a double role in the movie Sivaji. One role will be a rich father a well respected man among the community and other will be a joyful son of the rich Rajini. Big Rajini was an owner of a college. He becomes very popular among the local community by doing lot of good things to the people surrounded.
A group of people were always against Big Rajini and were also doing lot of activities against Big Rajini which created problems to his college and to him. This group which could not resist Rajini�s popularity decides to kill Big Rajini and they successfully killed Big Rajini. After Big Rajini�s death son Rajini takes all the responsibility of his father and continues to run the college the same way like his father use to run. Son Rajini was also humble and kind with the local community and did lot good things to them. But few who were very closely working with him joins hands with his fathers enemy cheats him and takes all his fathers wealth and leaves the son Rajini with just one rupee in the street. Rajini (super star) tosses the one rupee coin and promises to the people that he would get back all the wealth, fame of his father with this one rupee. Interval.
In the climax super star becomes a millionaire and gets back all his fathers wealth and fame. Then he takes a revenge on all the people who were involved in killing his father. After all the revenge, super star gives all the money earned to his people and leaves the place tossing the one rupee coin.the film ends.

Screenplay:

The small rajini comes from US.the story begins from that.opening song is ballelaika with nayanthara. The story moves normally with Vivek jokes.vivek has given an excellent performance.he has been given equal weightage to rajni in the first half.shriya is characterised as an innocent girl.then love with shriya.sahana song.then she comes to know about the other side of rajini with violence.she fets apart.you might have seen that scene in the trailor.after she bangs the door,sahana sad version.actualy rajini does all good things to people through violence and blackmiles like a villain since he doesnt get justice through rules.the scenes involving these sequences is one of the main highlight.then he describes the flashback to shreya regarding why he is doin all these.now big shivaji entrance.the flashback is for 42 minutes sharp.this is the main highlight of the whole movie.rajini with mottai get up is the big rajini.you might have seen those stills with mottai rajini like a don. shankar said that there is a surprise for rajini fans in the movie.the mottai get up is the surprise.take my words,those 42 minutes are the best ever in indian cinema.thalaiavr may possibly get even a national award for that.lots of style,punch dialogues & dedicated acting in that 42 minutes.simply saying;pattaiya kelapra flashback.since its too special,i cant say more about it.see it urself in the theatre.that would be more interesting. Rani Mukherjee IS THE SURPRISE HEROINE in the film.she is big Rajini�s pair.then big rajini is killed as said in the story.then small rajini takes revenge & he preaches about some ideas to our people & leaves the town.the film ends.

Main theme of the movie::

shankar has exploited that going against the laws for doing good to the poor people is never wrong.and the main highlight is he has introduced some new methods and ideas regarding how poor people can reform to high society,how villages can be transformed to high tech cities.i realy fainted on hearing those ideas and his gorgeous imagination..hats off to shankar's intelligence.he realy deserves an award for this,.you wilL understand the truth in my words after seeing the film.

Any of u remember that some months back in AV-katradhum petradhum, sujatha told that the important scene from the film sivaji is shoot at the top of a building (mottai madi) & from the trailer it is evident that the scene where rajini says to vivek about "rich gets richer, poor gets poorer"...

i think this scene could be the end of the first half....
there after it will be "adhiradikkara macha machandhaan"
just like Basha........ wow lets hope for the best

The 'Super Star' appears in different costumes for the song sequences. What more, Rajni also gets to figure in three different get ups�, says Shankar of Sivaji and its irresistible hero.

Normally, it is Kamal�s movies that are talked of for its costumes and make�ups. But Rajni in Sivaji seems to have spared no effort in looking different.

Speaking about the film, Shankar says, �Rajni was highly impressed with the movie after he dubbed for it. He expressed his confidence that it would go on to become a huge hit�.

Dwelling further Shankar says, �All credit should be given to the entire crew who gave their best for the movie. Quite typical to my earlier movies, there is grandeur written all over it�.

Asked about his next venture, Shankar says, �I might announce my next in a couple of months, until then all my focus would be on Sivaji�.

Shankar says,�In future I might try my hand on a low-budget movie which would be completed in lesser number of days�.

'Sivaji' release in record number of theatres
PVS [Monday, June 04, 2007]

AVM Studios, producers of Rajinikanth-starrer "Sivaji" have made arrangements to print 600 copies of the film for release all over the world. Of them, 350 are for Tamil Nadu, 150 for Andhra Pradesh, 75 for Kerala and 25 for Karnataka. The remaining 100 prints are for release overseas, it is learnt.

This number is unprecedented in the history of Tamil cinema. Directed by Shankar, the film featuring Shreya opposite Rajinikanth is set for release on June 15. "Sivaji" will be releasing in as many as 16 theatres in Chennai itself. They include Abirami Complex (three screens); Sathyam Cinema (two screens); with five shows every day Mayajaal will be showing the film in five screens.

According to Abirami Ramanathan, who has bought the Chennai distribution rights, talks are under way with INOX and other theatres in Chennai.

The film is releasing in a record number of theatres because the cost of production of the film has run into several crores and the producers' strategic move will enable them to recover the cost as quickly as possible, it is said.

Rajinikanth's earlier hit "Chandramukhi" had more than 160 prints. Normally 130 to 140 prints are made for a film starring a top star.

The buzz is that the new Kalaignar TV Channel which is yet to be launched has bought the satellite rights of "Sivaji" which will be telecast three years after its release. This channel has also already bought nearly 25 new films, including "Mozhi", "Guru", and "Ayudha Ezhuthu".

I was there in this concert! It was really fantastic to see the crowds go crazy when "athiradee" song was sung! Oru kootamae dance aadichi for this song, even though the non-tamil groups were the majority in the concert!

Screenplay of the BOSS

The young rajini comes from US.the story begins from that.opening song is ballelaika with nayanthara. The story moves normally with Vivek jokes.vivek has given an excellent performance.he has been given equal weightage to rajni in the first half.shriya is characterised as an innocent girl.then love with shriya.sahana song.then she comes to know about the other side of rajini with violence.she fets apart.you might have seen that scene in the trailor.after she bangs the door,sahana sad version.actualy rajini does all good things to people through violence and blackmiles like a villain since he doesnt get justice through rules.the scenes involving these sequences is one of the main highlight.then he describes the flashback to shreya regarding why he is doin all these.now big shivaji entrance.THE FLASHBACK IS FOR 42 MINUTES SHARP.THIS IS THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE MOVIE.RAJINI WITH MOTTAI GET UP IS THE Older RAJINI.YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THOSE STILLS WITH MOTTAI RAJINI LIKE A DON. SHANKAR SAID THAT THERE IS A SURPRISE FOR RAJINI FANS IN THE MOVIE.THE MOTTAI GET UP IS THE SURPRISE.TAKE MY WORDS,THOSE 42 MINUTES ARE THE BEST EVER IN INDIAN CINEMA.THALAIAVR MAY POSSIBLY GET EVEN A NATIONAL AWARD FOR THAT.LOTS OF STYLE,PUNCH DIALOGUES & DEDICATED ACTING IN THAT 42 MINUTES.SIMPLY SAYING;PATTAIYA KELAPRA FLASHBACK.since its too special,i cant say more about it.see it urself in the theatre.that would be more interesting. Rani Mukherjee IS THE SURPRISE HEROINE in the film.she is older Rajini's pair.then Older rajini is killed as said in the story.then small rajini takes revenge & he preaches about some ideas to our people & leaves the town.the film ends.
_____ FYI only.. No Aaranjals.. please..

I can't validate.. this info.. at this point looks like another die hard Rajini Fans imagination .. Shreya is the actual pair for rajni through out the movie (even when he is old) my take on this!

When I saw Pokiri there the sound was a bit crap, but when i saw Guru it was better....maybe it depends on which screen they show it on?

The great `Sivaji` rush!
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 05 June , 2007, 09:44
Everybody who is somebody in Chennai wants tickets for Rajnikanth�s Sivaji, preferably the opening weekend (June 15 to 17).

Fans of the superstar are thronging Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in Kodambakkam, where his fan club president sits. And the aam aadmi (common man) is trying to revive his contact with the right connections to get tickets for the film!

The advance booking for Sivaji in 16 screens in Chennai city will open on Sunday (June 10), early morning. Already theatre owners screening Sivaji has switched off their mobiles, and most of them will be going underground fearing being hounded by harassed ticket seekers.

According to industry analysts there has never been such kind of pressure for any film, since advent of cinema in Chennai! As per the current trend, tickets are likely to be sold out in all theatres for the first two weeks without any difficulty.

After the initial craze, everything depends on the content of the film. Even if Sivaji were to carry only average reports, it will be a super hit!

the film is a routine shankar flick with rajini..so expect few disastrous dialogues with contrived and pretentious bullshit. Rajini will give an intense performance.. I am sure his fans wud be happy but same might not hold good for the rest.

Sivaji Vs Dasavataram
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 05, 2007]

Directed by Shankar and produced on the banner of AVM Productions with Rajanikanth and Shriya in the lead, 'Sivaji' is termed to be a prestigious film on that banner.

There was a big talk that the film was made with the highest-ever budget of Rs 70 crores and would create a record in the south Indian film industry.

However, it is reliably learnt that 'Dasavataram' of Kamal Hasan is also being made with similar budget of Rs 70 crores.

According to the producer of 'Dasavataram' Oscar Ravichandran, they had already spent Rs 55 crores on the film and it needs another Rs 15 crores to complete the movie.

It is well aware that Kamal Hassan was portraying 10 different roles in the flick and one among them is the US President.

Another speciality of the film is that the technical crew that worked for 'Titanic' is working for this movie.

All set for Sivaji release
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 05, 2007]

Ten days to go for Sivaji. Everything is set for a grand release. AVM Productions is running from pillar to post to promote the movie and director Shankar has opened his heart to the media about the movie, the details of which were kept under wraps for over a year. 'Super Star' Rajnikanth, who had been to Himalayas, is expected to touch down Chennai on 9 June.

In Chennai, Sivaji is opening in 11 theatres including multiplexes. Good news for Rajni fans is that advance ticket bookings would commence from 10 June.

With names of the cinema halls, where the movie is going to be released are out already, no wonder Rajni fans would turn up in large numbers to book their tickets for the first show. Fans have been waiting patiently for over a year for the movie to be released.

Murugan says, an avid Rajni-fan, �I would certainly throng a cinema hall in Chennai to book the ticket for the opening show. I have seen all his movies since Annamalai on the first day. Sivaji is a special film and I want to enjoy the film watching on the theatre first day first show�.

I waana see the pics of the advance booking counters! Hope Rajinifans.com captures those!

Will Sivaji be Rajni's biggest hit?

June 05, 2007

Rajnikanth brings a certain style to Tamil cinema. His signature moves, mannerisms and talent are a delight to watch. Though we see little of him nowadays, with very few films being released, each film is a celebration for his fans.

His films always see a huge turnout whether it is Basha, Padayappa or the recent Chandramukhi -- the last released two years back, and is still running in some theatres.

Even though Baba did not do well, Rajni being Rajni has reimbursed the film's distributors and exhibitors, who lost money on the film.

Exclusive! Watch the Sivaji trailer

http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2007/jun/05rajni.htm

His latest offering Sivaji is directed by Shankar, who has delivered only hits in his career. And this film is expected to rock as well. With the Boss at the helm, everybody expects Sivaji to break all records.

Do you think Sivaji will be Rajni's biggest hit? Tell us!

The young rajini comes from US.the story begins from that.opening song is ballelaika with nayanthara. The story moves normally with Vivek jokes.vivek has given an excellent performance.he has been given equal weightage to rajni in the first half.shriya is characterised as an innocent girl.then love with shriya.sahana song.then she comes to know about the other side of rajini with violence.she fets apart.you might have seen that scene in the trailor.after she bangs the door,sahana sad version.actualy rajini does all good things to people through violence and blackmiles like a villain since he doesnt get justice through rules.the scenes involving these sequences is one of the main highlight.then he describes the flashback to shreya regarding why he is doin all these.now big shivaji entrance.THE FLASHBACK IS FOR 42 MINUTES SHARP.THIS IS THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE MOVIE.RAJINI WITH MOTTAI GET UP IS THE Older RAJINI.YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THOSE STILLS WITH MOTTAI RAJINI LIKE A DON. SHANKAR SAID THAT THERE IS A SURPRISE FOR RAJINI FANS IN THE MOVIE.THE MOTTAI GET UP IS THE SURPRISE.TAKE MY WORDS,THOSE 42 MINUTES ARE THE BEST EVER IN INDIAN CINEMA.THALAIAVR MAY POSSIBLY GET EVEN A NATIONAL AWARD FOR THAT.LOTS OF STYLE,PUNCH DIALOGUES & DEDICATED ACTING IN THAT 42 MINUTES.SIMPLY SAYING;PATTAIYA KELAPRA FLASHBACK.since its too special,i cant say more about it.see it urself in the theatre.that would be more interesting. Rani Mukherjee IS THE SURPRISE HEROINE in the film.she is older Rajini's pair.then Older rajini is killed as said in the story.then small rajini takes revenge & he preaches about some ideas to our people & leaves the town.the film ends.

Wow! RK playing double roles.

Nayanatara does an item with 'Sivaji'

Updated: 06-05-2007

Gorgeous Nayanatara who made it big after working with Rajinikanth in 'Chandramukhi' is back to act with the superstar again.

However this time it is not as the hero's lady love, but as a special 'item' appearance in one of the songs. Like most of the Rajinikanth's movies, 'Sivaji' also introduces the Superstar with a great song number. The song rendered by S.P.Balasubramaniam describes the hero's attachment to his native place, while Nayanatara will captivate the audiences with her moves.

Although Nayanatara will appear for a brief time, her choice to do this 'item' number speaks volumes about her, as it was Chandramukhi that got her the limelight.

And ofcourse, there is always Rajinikanth and which heroine wouldn�t want to act with him?

Huge demand for tickets of Sivaji
Tuesday June 5 2007 10:26 IST

CHENNAI: There is only one thing every Chennaiite wants today - a ticket to the first day, first show of Sivaji.

Theatre owners, their communication managers and film PROs are being besieged by calls, so much so that theatre owner and city distributor of Sivaji, Abirami Ramanathan jokingly says �We are all planning to take our off for 15 days to escape from the calls.�

According to Ramanathan, bookings will officially open on June 10 and until then no one can book a ticket.

Udeep of Mayajaal, the movie complex which has a seating capacity of 4,500, confirms that there is tremendous pressure from corporate houses, the IT companies and close friends as well, with demands for tickets in thousands, hundreds and tens and fives.

�Some companies want to book 10 shows, but allotment will be done on a first-come, first-served basis,� says Udeep. It is for this reason that everyone is scrambling for tickets, says a group of Loyola College boys who hope to get to the top of the queue when bookings open. Supriya, Communications Manager, Sathyam Cinema, says the demand started two months ago, with companies, clubs, sabhas and airlines requesting to block bookings. The number of All India Rajnikant Fans Association is believed to run into five figures if not more.

Even they have to wait their turn, since each association is unlikely to be given more than 20 tickets, say sources.

However, according to Ramanathan, in the Chennai area, the proportion of tickets for the fans will be finalised on Tuesday after a meeting with the fans associations.

Mail I got from tamilcinemas.com

Courtesy: ORKUT

Dear Friends,

Since Naz 8 theater management cannot accommodate our request with the screens that was requested, we need to change the Venue from Naz 8 to "Camera 3 Cinemas" in downtown San Jose location. This give us an opportunity to screen the Thalaivar's movie at both San Jose and Fremont location.

So finally "The BOSS" will be screened at the following locations

- 2 screens in Camera 3, San Jose Downtown (Location - Near 2nd street and San Carlos street)

- 1 screen at Park Theater in Fremont.

For those who requested Naz8 as the preference I am moving you to this new location at San Jose. Send me a reply by today if you want to change your location.

Show timings will be finalized by tomorrow at both the locations and we will contact you soon

Thanks
From Ram at TamilCinemas.com

U certificate for Rajnikant film: Pre-release hype rises to a crescendo!

05th June 2007 14.00 IST

By P. Sreekumaran

Two weeks to go, but the hype surrounding the mega movie has already risen to the crescendo.

Yes folks, you have got it right, we are talking about the Rajnikant magnum opus, Sivaji .

The latest on the movie is that it has been given a U certificate by the Censor Board, according to the grapevine.

All that is known about the storyline is that Rajni plays a man who wants to do good for his country.

Heroine Shriya is a helper at a shop selling musical instruments. Tamilselvi, - that is Shirya's name in the film - falls in love with the hero and joins him in his do-good act.

She has done a fabulous job in the song sequences, oozing glamour. Particular mention is being made of the song, Vaaji, Vaaji.

Rajnikant's costumes have also come in for high appreciation. For the first time in his reel life, Rajni is said to come in 13 different costumes in a song sequence.

The movie is slated to be released in 350 to 400 theatres in Tamil Nadu and as many as 50 in Kerala. The theatres have already started showing a slick trailer of the mega movie.

Ratcheting up the glamour quotient is Nayantara who appears along with Rajni in the introductory song sequence.

All in all, the fans are all agog for the D-day - June 15, 2007. No film in history has had the kind of hype and hoopla that attends the release of �Sivaji�. Incidentally, Rajni's real name is Sivajirao Gaekwad!

Shankar speaks :

For the first time, Shankar speaks on A.R Rahman, music of `Sivaji`,and about the technicians who assisted him.

A.R Rahman , and the music of `Sivaji`.

Tell us about A.R Rahman and why your combination with him has always produced chartbusters? What is your favourite album from the films you have done?
Rahman and me go back a long way, as we almost started our career together. 8 out of my 9 films have music by him. We have perfect understanding and rapport with each other .He understands my need and the tune the moment I explain to him the situation, and he will go on giving me new tunes if I�m not happy with the earlier one. And like me he tries experiment and always tries his best to come out with something fresh. My favourite is Kathalan and Jeans, though it looks like Sivaji will become our favourite!

How would you rate Sivaji music?
Even before the release, Sivaji songs have reached a new milestone, as Tamil and Telugu audio is rumoured to have sold more than any other film in south. When we met to discuss initially on the music, I told Rahman that I need extraordinary, out-of-the- world tunes, as expectations were very high with Rajni- Rahman- Shankar combination coming together for the first time. Rahman just smiled and over the months in spite of his busy international schedule he found time to do Sivaji and has churned out outstanding music.

Let us talk about the five songs in the film

Balellikka�.

It is the first song in the film and shot in and around Wai a scenic village near Pune. It is a folk song sung by SPB and Rehana, Rahman's sister whose voice sounds different and appealing. Na.Muthukumar has written some meaningful lyrics which fits into my narration as the hero is coming home from abroad and he is overcome with nostalgia about the village he grew up.

Style�.

My favourite number in the film! It was a challenge to do the song as it is entirely done in CG, and there were no gimmicks. We created a new software for it and let me tell you that I�m not boasting�. I don't think anybody has done a full length song in CG. `Indian Artist` did a good job, Pa Vijay's lyrics and Rahman's tunes were perfect. The CG work alone took nearly a year, and I�m sure after the film releases it will be the hit number!

Sahana�.

Lot of my friends, say that this is their favourite. Everybody likes it as it is a melody; Rahman has made a sad and happy version. It is a dream song, in which Vairamuthu talks about seasons, so I asked Thotta Tharani the art director to create a Swarovski style glittering glass dome set depicting four seasons at Ramoji Rao studio and he did a wonderful job. It is going to be a major highlight of the film.

Vaaji�..

A lot of unit members say it is going to be the favourite song in the film. It is a fantasy song and the first we shot for the film. Neeta Lulla has done the costumes for this song, while the other four are done by Manish Malhotra . Rajni and Shriya come as a king and queen with over 100 dancers in the background and a Babylonian type palace designed by Thotta.

Athiradee�.

It is a very exciting song and picturised in a very stylish way. We have used some CG for it. I�m told that the song has become very popular in discos in Mumbai and Delhi where Rahman who has sung the song has an audience.

Background Score

We took weeks over it, to compose the theme music and did the entire background score in Prague, where Rahman was familiar with. The background score of Sivaji itself can be made into an album, its fantastic.

On K.V Anand, the cinematographer

You have worked with the best cameramen in the business like Ravi.K.Chandran, Jeeva, Ravi Varman. What is your opinion about K.V Anand, Sivaji cameraman?
As good as the best, in the business. I have worked with him in Muthalvan and Naayak, and there is good understanding between us. In Sivaji his work is super, especially the song sequences his lighting is out of the world.

On Thotta Tarani, the art director

I have worked in a lot of films with him, here in Sivaji he has excelled in sets designing.

On Peter Haynes, the action choreographer.

Brilliant, he has exceeded my expectations. There are four action sequences in the film and the highlight is this car action fight in a open- air- drive in theatre. It was a huge set designed by Thotta and Anand lighted up with helium lights. We took nearly 20 days to shoot this scene which is just 3 minutes in the film. My hero and heroine are watching a film in an open air theatre, and the bad guys come and crash their cars. The car fight scenes have been choreographed in a thrilling fashion by Peter. Please note, there is no blood or gore in the film.

Finally� Will Sivaji be a hit?

(Smiles) No doubt about it. The film is going to be a blockbuster, as there will be repeat audience for the film.

What is the length of the film?
Sivaji's running time is 3 hours and 5 minutes( 3+5=8 !)

Those who are not interested in Shivaji related discussions Stay away.

Thanks.

Now a request.

There are many hubbers/ non hubbers who come to see the updates on the movie as the release date is nearing. No one would be interested in spending more time searching for updates alongside all these digressions.
Hubbers are asked to post updates and discuss relating to that.
The same is applicable for other threads too. Any other discussions u can carry on in Coffee Corner thread of Hubber's Lounge by inviting the persons whom u want to take part in. And there too Personal attacks are not allowed

Those who are not interested in Shivaji related discussions Stay away.

Thanks.

Now a request.

There are many hubbers/ non hubbers who come to see the updates on the movie as the release date is nearing. No one would be interested in spending more time searching for updates alongside all these digressions.

Hubbers are asked to post updates and discuss relating to that.
The same is applicable for other threads too. Any other discussions u can carry on in Coffee Corner thread of Hubber's Lounge by inviting the persons whom u want to take part in. And there too Personal attacks are not allowed Razz

Razz

Now let us get back to Shivaji - Bachelor Of Social Service. Cool

Thumbs Up!

Sivaji gets tax benefit
Wednesday June 6 2007 11:48 IST

The suspense is over. Sivaji has qualified for a total tax benefit as befits films with Tamil titles, as announced by the State Government.

The magnum opus starring Rajnikant received exemption from entertainment tax after Commercial Officer (Taxes), identified the film title as falling under the proper noun category.

As per sops for the Tamil film industry announced by Karunanidhi last summer, films with Tamil titles enjoy tax exemption. This had resulted in a number of films changing their titles to the vernacular.

Sivaji which already underway when the announcement was made, did not do so.

However, a number of film producers like Rama Narayanan, president, Tamil Film Producers� Council, and journalists of influence such as Cho Ramaswami had told Express at that time that the film would qualify for a fringe benefit, if its title was a proper noun.

That has now proved to be true.

Double-deckers now decked up with ads

CHENNAI : The double-deckers are now decked up with advertisements.

Inspired by Mumbai's BEST bus services, which had wrapped up its double-deckers similarly with advertisements, the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) recently awarded tenders to a private advertising agency to solicit advertisements on its 10 double-deckers.

Officials said AVM Productions was among the first advertisers. Banners of the new Rajnikant-starrer `Sivaji' are displayed on four of the 10 buses.

A representative of Naveen Advertisements, the company that won an MTC tender for the advertisements on the buses, said companies had to spend up to Rs.9,000 for printing the vinyl posters and wrapping them around the buses. The agency is paying MTC around Rs. 11,000 per month.

MTC managing director R. Balasubramanian said the Corporation was currently making up to Rs.3 crore annually through advertisement revenue. "There is enough potential to increase it to Rs.6 crore. Our new buses have been designed to exploit the potential. We have created new panels on the windows and on the back of seats."

INDIAN (96) - The graphics in Akkadaa nu, Maaya Machindra, etc...

Also the movie will release in major cities, first week then they will transfer the "petti" to other cities, but this time they have bought a lot of prints and they dont know which cities to release.

Its worse in Houston, coz a thamizh sangam is trying to *buy* the movie and they are trying to strike a deal.

Double deckers decked up with ads

CHENNAI : The double-deckers are now decked up with advertisements.

Inspired by Mumbai's BEST bus services, which had wrapped up its double-deckers similarly with advertisements, the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) recently awarded tenders to a private advertising agency to solicit advertisements on its 10 double-deckers.

Officials said AVM Productions was among the first advertisers. Banners of the new Rajnikant-starrer `Sivaji' are displayed on four of the 10 buses.

A representative of Naveen Advertisements, the company that won an MTC tender for the advertisements on the buses, said companies had to spend up to Rs.9,000 for printing the vinyl posters and wrapping them around the buses. The agency is paying MTC around Rs. 11,000 per month.

MTC managing director R. Balasubramanian said the Corporation was currently making up to Rs.3 crore annually through advertisement revenue. "There is enough potential to increase it to Rs.6 crore. Our new buses have been designed to exploit the potential. We have created new panels on the windows and on the back of seats."

Shankar & Rajini � missing in action!

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

June 06, 2007

Director Shankar is always known to be highly optimistic about his movies, and Sivaji is no exception. In fact the director was bold enough to admit that he is extremely satisfied with the outcome. But then, Sivaji is no ordinary movie. It is a movie where the most powerful name in Kollywood � the Badshah of Style - superstar Rajini is involved. Obviously it qualifies as a must see film even before its release.

Theatre owners are having a tough time, as the pressure mounts with the release date nearing, as people from all walks of life are expected to take time off from their hectic schedules to watch The Boss in action. Generally Shankar goes on a vacation with his family only after his movie hits the screens. But this time, the director, to cool is heels off has advanced his vacation two weeks earlier. Even Rajini, who has flown down to the Himalayas, will return only two weeks after the movie is screened in theatres.

With their conspicuous absence, both the director and the superstar will miss out the real life action. Looks like Sivaji's mammoth success will welcome them both on their return to Kollywood.

Sivaji gets 'Sivaji' more profits?
Updated: 06-07-2007

Rajinikanth's 'Sivaji' buzz is getting louder day by day as the release date is fast approaching.

The latest news now is that 'Sivaji' has got a tax subsidy from the State government. It is known that the Tamil Nadu government is granting tax subsidies for movies with Tamil titles. This order had come into place to curtail the then trend of Tamil movies with English and Hindi Titles. However 'Sivaji' which was still under production then, did not qualify at first for the tax subsidy as 'Sivaji' was considered Hindi because of the 'Ji' in it!

But just at the right time, the movie has finally got the subsidy as the board decided that the name 'Sivaji' was in fact very much Tamil. The buzz is that the board may have decided that it was a Tamil word after the Late Sivaji Ganesan, the veteran Tamil actor and anything that would put 'Sivaji' in controversy may cause a major hullabaloo in the Tamil film industry and general public.

Bottomline, 'Sivaji' buyers are a happier lot now with the subsidy adding to their collection margins.

Shankar in Canada
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, June 07, 2007]

Director Shankar is off to Canada with his family. His Sivaji starring Rajnikanth is all set for a release on 15 June.

One of the big-budgeted movies, Sivaji has been witnessing a lot of hype and expectations. Shankar had stated recently that Sivaji is a movie to reckon with in his career.

With the who's who of Tamil cinema including Shankar, Rajnikanth, AVM and Rahman coming together, Sivaji is touted to be the biggest release in Tamil cinema ever.

After his hectic schedule in Sivaji, Shankar has left for Canada on Wednesday with his family. The ace - director will return after the release of Sivaji.

Creating history?

The Rajnikant film Sivaji has been making news ever since it was launched almost 18 months ago in Chennai. Going by the pre-release hype and enthusiasm of the superstar�s fans, the makers have decided to dub the Tamil film into Telugu as well with the same title and they are doing their best to cater to the taste of the Telugu audience. The much-awaited film of the year will be released simultaneously on June 15 and in countries like Japan, Thailand, Singapore, USA and Australia in over 2,500 theatres worldwide.

AR Rahman�s music is already rocking all over. Being made by the AVM Productions banner, it is directed by Shankar.
Looks like Sivaji will create history of sorts.

You dont have to patronize the movie! But you also need not make fun of somebody based on age... And what do you expect out from people in a forum and that too in the appropriate thread? It will only be all abt the movie... And this hype and hoopla for the movie is not seen in any unrelated threads, this is the thread dedicated for the movie...

I understand! But I'm sure you also know that the amount of HYPE and HOOPLA can work both ways for a movie right... If the movie is good, the HYPE will make it a blockbuster... On the other hand, if the movie is bad, the HYPE will make it the worst flop ever!

Embarassed

So just chill... It's not as if we want this kinda hype! When your fav actor's movie releases after 2 years (and that too when his career is approaching an end), you cant expect a diff behavior from hard core fans...

'Sivaji' Mania Peaks Ahead Of Release

Thursday 07th of June 2007

The pre-release hysteria surrounding superstar Rajnikant's 100th Tamil film 'Sivaji', which hits the screens June 15, has reached a crescendo. CDs and cassettes are selling like hot cakes, contests are in full swing and halls are booked for the first two weeks.

One doesn't know how much of the hype is PR work and how much of it is for real, but those who couldn't book the tickets are now agonising over whether they will get to see the film in the first 15 days.

B.R. Udeep, the owner of the Mayajaal multiplex just outside the city, which can accommodate 4,500 viewers, told IANS: 'It is booked till June end. Some companies and corporate houses want tickets for 10 shows for their staff. We are booking on a first come first serve basis.'

The owner of Sathyam cinema, another popular theatre located in the heart of the city, said the demand for tickets for 'Sivaji' started two months ago.

'The film will be the mother of all Rajni movies,' said actor Mohan, who is also a Rajnikant fan.

The first show of the film will be held in Seattle, US, June 14. 'Sivaji' will also be released in Canada, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. And it will hit Indian screens June 15 and the Tamil Nadu government is expected to give it a tax benefit.

'Sivaji' will be released with approximately 400 Tamil and 300 Telugu digital prints worldwide.

A popular news channel aired an 'unofficial' trailer May 30 followed by an 'official' trailer May 31. The 30-second trailer showed Rajnikant in action in three different getups and hairdos. So much so that Rajni's French hairstylist Sandrine Verrier Seth has now hit the headlines.

Made at a cost of Rs.500 million, 'Sivaji' is AVM's most costly film so far and may turn out to be the costliest film ever made in India. Directed by Shankar, the film has music by veteran composer A.R. Rahman.

Rajni's fans have lapped up the songs. And trade pundits say the demand for 'Sivaji' CDs and cassettes is the highest for any film in the last 25 years. There are, of course, the tune downloads on mobiles, with Reliance, Hutch, Airtel, all eyeing a piece of the 'Sivaji' pie.

There are 'Sivaji' contests on mobile telephones and film sites like galatta.com and even Sivaji trinkets and posters.

The cyber crime department is on the prowl in Ritche Street, ready to pounce on illegal CDs of the film and its music.

The show wasn't all Bollywood - when Rahman performed "Vaaji vaaji en jeevan si sivaji" and "Athiradee" from "Sivaji," the hotly anticipated Rajnikanth starrer due out June 15, his South Indian fans erupted in hysteria, gyrating in the aisles and screaming, "Sivaji! Sivaji!" A performance of the film's "Sahaana saaral" by Chitra and a young male singer got an equally enthusiastic response.

Why Newton Committed Suicide.....

Here is the reason.

Once, Newton came to India and watched a few Tamil movies that had his head spinning. He was convinced that all his logic and laws in physics were just a huge pile of junk and apologized for everything he had done.

In the movie of Rajanikanth, Newton was confused to such an extent that he went paranoid. Here are a few scenes

1) Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor which, according to the doctors can't be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, Rajanikanth is shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured! Long Live Rajanikanth!

2) In another movie, Rajanikanth is confronted with 3 gangsters.
Rajanikanth has a gun but unfortunately only one bullet and a knife.

Guess, what he does?

He throws the knife at the middle gangster? & shoots the bullet towards the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces, which kills both the gangsters on each side of the middle gangster & the knife kills the middle one.

3) Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster. Rajanikanth has a revolver but no bullets in it. Guess, what he does. Nah? not even in your remotest imaginations.

He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun.
Bang... the gangster dies...

This was too much for our Newton to take! He was completely shaken and decided to go back. But he happened to see another movie for one last time, and thought that at least one movie would follow his theory of physics. The whole movie goes fine and Newton is happy that all in the world hasn't changed. Oops, not so fast!

The 'climax' finally arrives.
Rajanikanth gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very high wall. So high that Rajanikanth can't jump even if he tries like one of those superman techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth has to desperately kill the villain because it's the climax.
( Newton dada is smiling since it is virtually impossible?)

Rajanikanth suddenly pulls two guns from his pockets. He throws one gun in the air and when the gun has reached above the height of the wall, he uses the second gun and shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air. The first gun fires off and the villain is dead.

By Moviebuzz | Friday, 08 June , 2007, 18:18
The final countdown has started for the worldwide release of Rajnikanth's Shankar directed Sivaji now confirmed for June 15.

Nearly 300 prints of the film have already been printed and ready for dispatch at Prasad lab in Chennai. The Telugu version of the film is being printed at Prasad�s Hyderabad.

Meanwhile on Thursday evening, Rajnikanth flew down to Chennai after his Himalayan sojourn and immediately wanted to have a screening of hisSivaji which he had seen only in bits during the dubbing.

The producers AVM, made the necessary arrangements and the superstar watched it all alone at AVM Deluxe preview theatre!

The entire theatrical business of Sivaji is over, and AVM the producers are surely laughing all the way to the bank. The film has been sold per territory at record prices, which no Tamil film has ever got.

Sivaji before release can be classified as a super hit because the producers have already made a table profit. What remains to be seen is whether the distributors and exhibitors who have paid huge royalties and MG's (Minimum Guarantee) stand to gain?

Meanwhile in Chennai city Sivaji fever has touched new heights, as advance booking opens on Sunday June 10. The film is going to open for the first time in Chennai's 18 screens with a capacity of approximately 14,000 seats per show!

It will be no surprise that in Chennai Sivaji is poised to take the biggest ever opening in motion picture history!

Sivaji: Counters set for opening
IndiaGlitz [Friday, June 08, 2007]

It is just a week left for the release of Sivaji. Eager fans of Rajnikanth are ready to book their tickets in advance with advance ticket booking commencing this Sunday.

Interestingly, the mega movie which has been granted tax exemption in Tamil Nadu, will release in Kerala with a maximum number of prints. Also in the neighboring State the movie would enjoy tax exemption.

Malayalam movies enjoy 35 per cent tax exemption. However Sivaji's distributor Johnny Sagarika won a legal battle claiming tax exemption for a Tamil film (Sivaji) in Kerala.

Following his petition, a court in Kerala granted a 10 per cent entertainment tax exemption on the movie.

Is there chance the film will be dubbed in hindi?

Though I'm reluctant to see Sivaji as I was disappointed from CM. Might take toilet breaks during songs but that's about it.
