rajni? yum...

Yenna 'muthu' pol potato chips... (Won't translate because I don't know how)






AVM Films makes another with Superstar: 'Sivaji, directed by S. Shankar. There have been reports that the film is about Rajni scouring the world for seven look-alikes. Incidentally, superstar used to be called Sivaji Rao before he turned into Rajnikanth.

The movie's all hush-hush even after it's puja on Nov. 28. Of course, the following are guaranteed:

- A philosophy song, where you are asked not to fall for material things, because see how love and affection is opening the world out to you. That if you have just enough money to fill your palm, you're its master; but if you have money up to your neck, then it only is your master (money, not neck).
Also, that he's the autofellow who never says no to delivery case. That he's not from any political party, just makkal (public's) party. Aaha, thatthuvam. (Really, they have all been sung, and meant from the bottom of his heart).

- Many slow motion walks of pure style; swirls; smiles of divinity; kicks in the butt and gut of every bad guy who puts kann or kai on thaaikulam (eye or hand on womankind).

- A snake joke (p..p.. paamba?!)

- An actress (Shriya) quarter the age of our superstar, and there'll be a dream sequence (HER dream, not our decent hero's). Not in snow, but rain, especially since Shriya's already proved she won't maranjify (hide) when there's mazhai (rain).

- Some scene that'll draw attention to the beauty of sunglasses on our hero's face.

- A tragic, poverty-stricken past full of travails orphaned Rajni has triumphed over, as he raises his cute as a button brother by selling tea in construction sites. A dialogue that'll explain why young Rajni will NOT steal or beg. If it's a younger sister, she'll go to English medium school, wear half-sari and know how to milk a cow with one hand while she slaps an eve teaser with the other.

- An intro scene that will not not shift from Rajni even to move on with the script. It's whistling-and-going-mad-screaming-for-joy time for fans. (and for 3/4-fans like me to gape in wonder. Yes. 1/8 space is for Kamal Hassan in pre-Avvai Shanmugi films; 1/16 space for Suriya with murukku meesai; 1/16 space for the hero of current blockbuster)


There are also some rumours of Mohanlal being in the movie, with equal screen space and time as namma chandramukhilan. Would be a tough task, considering Tamil fans start yawning and going out for pups (puffs) the second Rajni's face goes off screen.


(Now I have to go and see Padayappa, and Bharatham)
