He certainly made some good friends there and still maintains it well. They all have respect for him too. We need to learn from him how to maintain such "friendship"! He never burns the bridges with old friends ever!

BREAKING - WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ENTHIRAN 2?
Rajini is now in Malaysia for Kabali shoots and might be mobbed by fans wherever he steps out but in Mumbai something else related to him is happening at full throttle.
Sources confirm that the camera team of Enthiran 2 is currently in Mumbai as part of the pre-production work for the film, which has commenced from today, the 30th October and is said to go on for about 3 days. Nirav Shah and his close associates are working on the 3D aspect of cinematography in this Superstar’s film and this groundwork is said to be majorly for how to go about the angles and subject placements.
With Kabali not even halfway through, the advance preparations for Enthiran 2 tell us the magnitude of the project. Stay tuned to know more.

In Chennai, superstar Rajinikanth's shadow looms large over young & vibrant circle of startups
CHENNAI: Girish Mathrubootham, the CEO and cofounder of FreshDesk, had a secret way to motivate himself during the early days of the company. Before starting to the office he would watch the song 'Vetri kodi kattu' (Hoist the flag of victory) from the movie Padaiyappa, one of the biggest hits of Rajinikanth. Step into his office today and you can feel the larger-than-life presence of the superstar, be it on the cafeteria wall or the huddle area.
Rajinikanth, 64, has been a cult figure establishing a strong connect with young and old fans in Tamil Nadu for decades now. But little would the superstar — who began his career as a bus conductor in Bengaluru — himself have anticipated that he would one day become an integral part of the young and vibrant circle of Chennai startups where serious business meets energy and enthusiasm.

To be Noted :
Kumkuma Rakshe (1977) was not released in any video format. It is a remake of Tamil film Nenjil Oru Alayam (1962). The film, three years later, was dubbed as Kurinji Malar (1980) and released in Tamil. - Credits Sudarshan C R
The Kanada Films Collection starring Rajini ends here. (Ofcoarse we will keep looking for this rare film Kumkuma Rakshe).
Reliable sources say that Arnold Schwarzenegger has asked maverick director Shankar to rewrite the script of Endhiran 2 with Hollywood screenplay writers. Though Arnold liked the core idea, he wants the director to tighten the script so that the film will attract international audiences.
Although, it’s unclear whether Shankar will accept Arnold’s suggestion or not, this is the hottest report, which we got from sources close to the unit.
To be produced by Lyca International, Endhiran 2 will also have Superstar Rajinikanth playing the protagonist while Amy Jackson will be seen in an important role.
AR Rahman will be composing the music for the film, Muthuraj will take care of the production design and Srinivas Mohan is in charge for visual effects.
We also hear that cinematographer Nirav Shah is currently working on 3D test shoot for the film in Mumbai.
Now the rumor is Amitabh is also joining in the enthiran-2 team!
***Robot 2: Amitabh Bachchan to team up with Rajinikanth?****
There is another article from India today speculates the same! Neither do I want this to happen! :lol:
expressionless!!!?
even if we agree on the hype part (in fact, hype is a given with all major stars of this country), that's pretty unfair.
he would walk in to any top 10 actors list. and what makes that extra special is that unlike others in the list, he was, at his peak, also the biggest star of this country (perhaps the biggest ever) who did not/could not venture into serious performance-driven characters because of market demands.
Rajinikanth to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger regarding 'Enthiran 2'
Lyca Entertainment’s 500 crore budget ‘Enthiran 2’ directed by Shankar is in hectic pre-production with A.Rahman, Nirav Shah, production designer T.Muthuraj and VFX supervisor Srinivas Mohan already on board. It has been widely reported that Arnold Schwarzenegger has been signed on for the antagonist’s role for a whopping rupees 100 crore remuneration and also that he has urged Shankar to rewrite the script with Hollywood screenwriters.
Industry insiders inform us that on the 26th of November Rajinikanth and Shankar will be flying to the United States for an important meeting with the Terminator star and after that official confirmation will come out about all the aspects of the mind blowing project.

Kabali telugu title confirmed as Mahaadhev!
The shooting of Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Kabali is progressing at incredible speed in Malaysia. The actor will be seen as an ageing don, who comes out to track his kidnapped daughter in this action entertainer directed by Pa Ranjith. He is seen sporting a white bearded look for the role. Director Ranjith has stated that the actor’s role will be similar to his previous film Mullum Malarum. The first look stills of the film received a thumping response from the fans of the Superstar.
Radhika Apte is playing the leading lady, while Dhansika is playing Rajini’s daughter in the film. Reports have arrived that the makers have zeroed in Mahadev as the film’s Telugu title. However, an official announced is awaited. The film’s overseas rights have fetched Rs 28 crores for the Tamil version alone. This is by far a record in the history of Kollywood. Sanotsh Narayanan is scoring the music for the film which is expected to hit the screens in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously in April, 2016.

Enthiran 2…
The pre-visualisation has started. It is going to be a tough project, at the same time an interesting one too! I don’t believe in homework but for Enthiran 2, I need to sit down in the ideation process as saving a scene is equal to saving a lot of money.

He Let Go Of Rajini For Mahesh
It was reported some time back that Ratnavel is the cinematographer of Mahesh's upcoming film Brahmotsavam.
The film is scheduled for release in summer of 2016 and the shooting is currently on. However, while having a top cinematographer is good news for the team, Ratnavel himself had to make a tough decision to continue doing the film.
As a rule, Ratnavel only accepts one film at a time, though many top cinematographers manage clash of dates by using assistants. But Ratnavel insists on being there for each and every scene and because of this commitment, he had to let go a rather prestigious project.
Shankar had offered him Robo 2 which stars Rajinikanth, but Ratnavel had to turn down the offer due to Brahmotsavam.
Surely, a tough decision and a mark of professionalism of Ratnavel, which makes him one of the top cinematographers in the country right now.

Amazing Amitabh
"Rajinikanth is an incredible phenomenon, not just in our country but outside too." - Amitabh Bachchan, November 2014 @ International Film Festival of India, Goa.
http://www.filmykeeday.com/wp-conten...epath-Look.png
Five years after becoming an actor by profession, Rajini did Billa (1980) for producer K. Balaji, the film directed by R. Krishnamurthy for the story by writer duo Salim-Javed, who wrote the original version in Hindi, titled Don (1978), staring Amitabh Bachchan. The 80's Indian Film Culture was about Remakes. While doing the Rajini Title Cards, I noted that many of the South Indian Productions worked with North Indian Film Banners. The mutuality is not only about sharing stories, but making two cardinal directions meet and their respective movie making industries to flourish. Amitabh Bachchan and Rajini soon became a bridge over which film makers started to travel bringing various flavoured films to and fro, making this combo an immense success.
Rajini went ahead and made back-to-back remakes which helped him in stabilising his film carrier as an actor. It was not only just a jest from Producers & Film Makers, but an insistence from Amitabh himself. The list is as follows :
Amitabh Strarrer - Rajini Starrer: Comments
Majboor (1974) - Naan Vazavaipen (1979) : Playing Second Role to the Lead Actor Sivaji Ganesan.
Don (1978) – Billa (1980)
Deewar (1975) – Thee (1981)
Laawaris (1981) - Panakkaran (1991)
Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) – Ram Robert Rahim (1980)
Khud-Daar (1982) - Padikathavan (1985)
Trishul (1978) – Mr Bharath (1986)
Kasme Vaade (1978) – Dharamathin Thalaivan (1988)
Mard (1985) – Maaveeran (1986)
Khoon Pasina (1977) – Siva (1989)
Namak Halal (1982) – Velaikaran (1987)
In 1983, when Amitabh was already an established star in Indian Cinema, he encouraged Rajini's Hindi Debut Andha Kanoon by doing a cameo role in the film. While Rajini was busy starring in films down south, Amitabh extended his hand to Rajini for starring in his feature films which includes - Hum & Geraftaar. The character Krishnan Iyer M.A. in Agneepath (1990) was written for Rajinikanth, but later played by Mithun Chakraborty.

Amitabh always expressed his admiration over the traits of Rajini's onscreen characters. Along the path, Rajini Remakes started to create its own sensation, the Rajini Raise was inevitable. Gaining a strong hold during the 80's, Rajini walked into the 90's [Ref : Rajini Round - Nineties Rajini] creating his own genred films, gracefully accompanied by his 'On-Off' Screen friend Mr. Bachchan.

MPs quote superstar Rajinikanth in Parliament
KUALA LUMPUR: Indian superstar Rajinikanth left his mark in the Dewan Rakyat when he inspired lawmakers to use his quotes in relation to the Vivekananda Ashram in Brickfields.
Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, in his winding up speech for Budget 2016 Wednesday, recalled a Rajinikanth quote told to him by Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim.
"Rajinikanth said in a movie 'I did not know yesterday what happened today, and I do not know today what will happen tomorrow.
"What I do know, and what I want to say today, is that I, as the Tourism and Culture Minister, will defend the Ashram all the way," he said.
He then asked Kapar MP G. Manivanan to repeat the quote in its original Tamil language, which deputy Speaker Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee allowed.
Manivanan gamely repeated the line, and went on to add another Rajinikanth quote.
"Rajinikanth had said, 'when I say something once, it is equivalent to me saying it a hundred times.'
"This is the case with the Minister, once he says he will defend the Ashram, he does not have to say it 100 times and will maintain his stand," he said.
MPs in the House were left in stitches when Manivanan went on to imitate a popular Rajinikanth salute.
Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasagaran also joined in the fun, thanking Mohamed Nazri for helping with efforts to preserve the Indian cultural heritage.
Manivanan then asked Mohamed Nazri if he was prepared to join him and Kulasagaran to contest the judicial review filed by Ashram trustees against the Minister's decision gazetting it as a heritage site.
Mohamed Nazri replied he would be with them to "fight until the end" to ensure his decision stands and the Ashram protected by heritage laws.

Here are 5 looks from Hollywood which Rajinikanth should consider for Enthiran 2!
http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-go...or-enthiran-2/
:lol:
Ram Gopal Verma criticized Rajini for donating only a "little sum" (just 10 lakhs for this disaster)!
I am a Rajini fan but the amount 10 lakhs looks like "peanuts" to me!
He should have donated at least 50 lakhs, imho!
He always had a "kannadiga label" on him. I disagree with the claim that he "fooled" people then. And his donation whether today or during the kargil war (he donated 5 lakhs and kamal next day donated 10 lakhs) was never "generous" ever. He never believed in such an "investment" not now, even then! May be he does not believe it will reach the "correct people" or he could just be "stingy" ! :)
