NDTV has showed something in the lines of Ajith is the new Rajni based on reports that Ajith has smashed Rajni's opening records.

Interesting - If we assume that Ajith has taken over the mantle by his fanbase among the youngsters, which is obviously huge, then we are heading towards a chiranjeevi than a rajni right? Chiranjeevi an undisputable regional star as opposed to rajni who is a national icon. Same is the case with whoever takes over Kamal's mantle.. Kamal commands respects from all parts of India and all states have seen his one classic or another and many non-tamilians consider him the best actor in India of his era. In case of Kamal, they will have to match both BO and critical acclaim.

None yet ready to take on Kamal's mantle.

Vikram / Surya ??

Vikram / Surya ??

Not yet .. to match the versatility of Kamal. Vikram is trying to get his foothold back in TFI and Surya is not there to match Kamal. As far as box office goes in terms of overall gross of 300cr, Rajini is still on top. Ajith or Vijay are not even close to it.

but Vikram does put lot of hard work into his acting, recently I heard he was ill , because of the quick weight loss for the movie "I", one needs such a commitment and dedication for such transformation, and one must be appreciated ?

படத்துக்கு நல்ல எதிர்பார்ப்பு இருக்குன்றது உண்மை. காரணம், நான் ஏற்கனவே சொன்னாப்ல டான் சப்ஜெக்ட், துடிப்பான ரஞ்சித். சந்திரமுகில்லாம் பெருசா பெரிய தொகைக்கு வியாபாரம் ஆகலை. கோச்சடையான், நட்டமானா இன்னொரு படம் எடுத்து தறேன்னு சொல்லிதான் வித்தாரு. சிவாஜி & எந்திரன் ஷன்கர்னால நல்ல எதிர்பார்ப்பு(அப்படியும் எந்திரன் தமிழ்நாட்ல பல தியேட்டர்ஸ் ஷேரிங் பேசிஸ்ல தான் படம் எடுத்தாங்க) மத்தபடி, எப்பவோ ஒரு நல்ல படம் பண்ண முயற்சிப்பது பெரிசில்ல, எப்பவுமே எக்ஸ்பெரிமெண்டல் படங்கள் எடுத்துட்டு இந்தளவு பெரிய மார்கெட் உள்ள பெரிய நடிகரா கமல் இருப்பது தான் பெரிய விஷயம்!

அப்புறம், இந்த pre-release ஜம்பம்லாம் ரஜினி படத்துக்கு கொடிகட்டி பறக்கும்! இல்லைன்னா, 2002ல பாபாக்கே, சப்பான்ல 8கோடிக்கு வியாபாரம், ஓவரால் பாபா 150கோடி அள்ளும்னுலாம் அடிச்சிவிடமுடியுமா?!?

Media will be full of Numbers and positive news pre-release of rajini films!

Are you sure about that....Annaikuvantha munu padathula highest price antha pdathukuthaan kuduthaanga....


The first sale of Rajnikanth’s Chandramukhi was signed last week for Coimbatore-Nilgiris area for a record Rs 2.25 Crore!
Normally this area fetches Rs 80 to 1 Crore for a Vijay or Vikram film. Recently Vijay’s Madurae was sold for Rs 1.05 Crore including 20 prints and Kamal’s Vasoolraja MBBS went for Rs One Crore including 20 prints.

So Chandramukhi being sold for Rs 2.25 Crore is indeed a whopping amount. Remember Baba was sold for Rs 1.50 Crore and subsequently Rajnikanth had to compensate the distributors their losses.

The trade feels that this new price is ridiculous and the highest collecting film in this area so far is Rajnikanth’s Padayappa five years back when it collected Rs 2.40 Crore in six months. Vijay’s Ghillli had collected Rs 2.05 Crore from the same area.

The men taking this risk are Tirupur Balu and Seenu who got into distribution only two years back. Tirupur Balu is also the owner of Cinepark theatre in Tirupur and the duo plans to release the film with a record 30 prints. They are likely to get Rs 6 to 8 Lakhs as Minimum Guarantee (MG) from each print from the theaters and are confident about getting their money back .

However the Tamil film trade feels that Balu and his arithmetic may not work as main stations may object if nearly smaller stations are given release status.

I dont know about his health problems. Madhavan could not shine in Tamil cinema at all and I dont know why!

Dont deny it .. but you have to look at the overall resume of Kamal and Vikram. To take over Kamal's mantle is no easy task. I'd rather be a good actor than trying to match up with Kamal
