Rajinikanth's fans start political party

In an attempt to spur Rajinikanth to enter politics, his fans have started a political party - Desiya Dravida Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (DDMMK). But it cannot be construed as Rajinikanth's political move; it is a decision taken by his fans, not by him. This act seems to be the culmination of a week of tension amidst his fans following the star's call for a meeting with fan clubs, tentatively on October 12th.

This announcement has given rise to many speculations about the meet's agenda: ranging from brainstorming to boost his star power to launching a political party; coming in the wake of Chiranjeevi's political party launch, Rajni's call for a meeting has made many think he too might announce a political party. At present, the star is busy with Robot's first tranche of filming. His meeting with his fan clubs, when he reveals his ideas, should put an end to speculations.

Theatre owners seek compensation for losses

CHENNAI: RAJINI-starrer 'Kuselan' has suffered yet another low with the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners’ Association demanding more compensation for the losses they have suffered on the movie. The decision was taken at a meeting of the association here on Saturday.

Pyramid Saimira, the movie’s distributors, had earlier announced to compensate 35 per cent of the minimum guarantee amount at which the exhibitors had purchased the exhibiting rights.

“Pyramid Saimira had agreed to refund us and the other distributors of the movie to the extent of 35 percent.

But the distributors association is against reclaiming money for the losses suffered.

So, we have decided to ask Saimira for that compensation amount as well,” explained R Panneer Selvam, secretary, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners’ Association, adding that this would take the total compensation received to 60 per cent of the Minimum Guarantee amount.

Over 125 theatres, excluding Pyramid Saimira’s theatre chain, had obtained screening rights of 'Kuselan' under the minimum guarantee method, and over 80 per cent of them had reported a loss. Pyamid Saimira had obtained the distribution rights of the movie at Rs 67 crore and had distributed the films directly in a few areas, including Chennai and Salem.

Members of the theatre owners’ association had met Rajinikanth on Friday, and it transpired that the actor discussed their problems for almost an hour.“He was very understanding and even mentioned that we needn’t have purchased the rights to exhibit using the minimum guarantee method,” said Sukumaran, a committee member.

The total amount to be paid back to the theatre owners will have to be coughed up by Pyramid Saimira, Rajini kanth and producers Seven Arts and Kavithalaya.

Explaining why the theatre owners have asked for a reclaim from Rajini, though he was not the producer, Panneer Selvam said, “Film’s director Vasu had once announced that Kuselan is Rajini’s movie and changes have been made keeping the superstar in mind. Rajinikanth, who was also present at the event, did not refute it. Even their publicity for the movie was only Rajini-centric. This led us to believe that he is the movie and that is why we are seeking a compensation. In fact, we have suffered a loss for many movies, including Vijay’s 'Kuruvi', Simbhu’s 'Kaalai', Vikram’s 'Bheema' and currently Vishal’s 'Sathyam', but we haven’t asked for a refund.

That’s because we took the decision and were prepared to face the results. But, in Kuselan’s case, we were misled by Vasu’s statements.” 'Kuselan', the members said, had taught them a lesson on the entire system of acquiring exhibition rights.

“From now on, we have decided not to agree to exhibit any movie under the minimum guarantee method. It should actually be the movie’s producers, who pay us money first to screen their movie.

In future, if any theatre works under the minimum guarantee system, it will not be supported by the association,” Panneer Selvam added.

Rajni votes, Haasan not allowed to!

While Tamil superstar Rajnikant voted for a "stable government" on Wednesday, thespian actor Kamal Haasan was unable to cast his ballot since his name was not on the electoral rolls.

After casting his vote, Rajnikant told reporters that he had voted to ensure a stable government at the centre.

Kamal Haasan cancelled his shooting schedule for the polls but could not cast his vote.

"My name is not on the list of voters. I am not alone. My brother Chandra Haasan also could not cast his vote," the actor said.

He said he has voted in almost all elections, except when he was hospitalised.

Rajini joins the 6-pack bandwagon!!!!1

For once, the Superstar will follow the league of actors Dhanush, Suriya and Vishal. Surprised? This is in having a six pack trend young Kollywood actors are taking on to, seriously.

The Superstar, however, would not have sweated it out to develop his body. This will only be for his animated version for the film, ‘Sultan The Warrior’. The film is directed by daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth, apart from being produced by her.

The Superstar is said to be playing a warrior in the film, which is an action adventure. Despite being an animation film, the Superstar has himself enacted his part, which has been captured by a motion capture camera. Calling him a director’s delight, Soundarya Rajinikanth says the film will be over by end of this year.

The film has brought together the world’s best known technicians. The facial animation has been done by Image Matrix, which worked on Brad Pitt in his Academy Award-winning 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. The film’s budget is said to be a whopping $ 5 million. Calling it a typical punch film, Soundarya reels out one of her dialogues about dad in the film: “Adikkara Kaathula Parakkura Ilai Illa Da Sultan, Malai. Asaikka Mudiyaadhu.’

The film, which is said to be set in the Chola period, is 70 percent complete.

Rajni sports six pack abs!!!!

!Rajini has never looked this good. Muscular, well built and sporting a six pack, the Sultan truly looks a million bucks. And so does Rahul Dev, who plays a dancer in Soundarya Rajinikanth’s ‘Sultan The Warrior’, looks equally stunning, as one can observe in these exclusive stills from Sultan. Rahul Dev plays a baddie in this film, which is set in the Chola Era.

The film is a first-of-its-kind project, directed and produced by Rajini’s second daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth. Vijayalakshmi plays his love interest in the film, which is a 2009 release.

Imagine Rajini, who plays an action-packed role in the flick, belting out punch dialogues in his booming voice. Summa Adhirudhile...

Sultan Rajini is in trouble!!!!

We managed to get Soundarya Rajnikant, daughter of the Tamil supremo Rajnikant (and India’s highest paid actor with the largest fan base) to part with images of her first animated feature Sultan that is slated for a 2009 release. Incidentally this movie will release before the Rajni-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan flick The Robot.

Rumours down South have it that Soundarya’s production house and the Hollywood giant who were to co-produce Sultan have parted ways. But it actually turned out that Sultan is being made in partnership with a film corporation.

In a statement to BT, Richard Fox, Executive Vice-President International of the foreign studio, said, “We have been and will continue to work with Soundarya Rajnikant. Together, our companies have a number of southern Indian language projects in various stages, from early negotiations to active development. We will announce these projects at the appropriate time. But, any rumour that suggests otherwise is simply not true.”

When contacted, Soundarya said, “Our multi-picture deal contract with the foreign studio is positively intact as plans are on to jointly produce films in all four South Indian Languages, contrary to the untoward rumours doing the rounds in the Industry.”

Soundarya is exalted because her ‘appa’ (father) was very excited during the shoot and was surprised when he saw the first look of the film that this paper is currently being unveiled by this newspaper. Oscar winner A R Rahman has recorded four songs and two are yet to be done, says the star-daughter; and of course, “Daddy is yet to dub for his movie. He will do it after he has seen the final output.’’

Rajinikanth's daughter to dub for Ash!!!

As we all know Aish is shooting for two Tamil films back to back. One is the Shankar directed magnum opus ‘Endhiran’ that has Superstar Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai pairing up for the first time. This project has been in the news for the heroine bagging a whooping six crore rupees for signing up the project.

The other film is by ace director Mani Ratnam. This film is a multi lingual project and is being simultaneously shot in Hindi with Ash and hubby doing the lead roles. The Tamil remake of the film sees Chiyan Vikram and Ash in the lead roles. This flick’s title seems to have been inspired from the epic Ramayana and has hence been titled ‘Raavan’.

The story deals with the hero kidnapping another man’s wife and the fate that befalls.

The music for both the films will be by the twin Oscar award winner A.R. Rahman. Another interesting factor is that Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth will be lending her voice for Ash’s character in Shankar’s ‘Endhiran’ as well as Mani Rathnam’s ‘Raavan’. Reports also indicate that beauty queen Ash is also satisfied with the directors’ choice!

Murugadoss’s dream to work with Rajni!

A R Murugadoss will be directing Shahrukh Khan in a Hindi film which is yet to be titled. Mostly this film could be a remake of Tamil film Ramana. After completing Stalin, a Telugu film which had Chiranjeevi in the lead Murugadoss met Rajnikanth and narrated him a story. Rajnikanth was impressed with the story. So there was news that Rajni will act in Murugadoss film.

When asked about this Murugadoss said, “It is true that I had narrated the story to Rajnikanth. But now he is busy with Endhiran and I am also busy with Shahrukh film. I may get the opportunity to work with Rajni after these projects are completed. My ambition is to direct Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan.”

Rajnikant in US for Robot!

Rajnikant is likely to leave for the US shortly to join the US-based production team of his Rs.1.5 billion venture 'Robot', said publicists. 'Robot' will be a sci-fi movie and stars Aishwarya Rai in the female lead. She has already reported for the photo-shoot schedule. It is being directed by Shankar. The movie will be simultaneously produced in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and two other Indian languages besides being later dubbed into English, Japanese and Malay.

After Rajnikant agrees to the final script, shooting will commence from August 15. The extravaganza is being jointly produced by London-based Ayngaran International and Eros Entertainment, said a statement. While Rajnikant's 'Kuselan' is schedule for July 31 release, he has almost completed his daughter Saundarya's Ocher Studios' Rs.2 billion animated production which has live shots of the superstar.
