how many drishyams happen in kerala?!? not many right?! Iam saying, like how kamal became biggest star in telugu and kerala and even to an extent in hindi, in his early days, vijay has become biggest star in kerela! (Till date rajni has NO single straight hero movie in hindi! but his fans call him national superstar! funny world!)

(Digression)
Even ML hasnt been able to retain a film like Drishyam post its release. Many have said he was the most relaxed in a long time. Now days, he looks bored/tired of late

(End dig)

I agree with you , who called him the "National Superstar" ??, besides applying your same "logic" , how on earth Kamal (with due respect to his lifetime achievement and various talents in the cine industry) be called the "universal hero" ? How many countries are there in the world, how many languages, how many cultures , is it "humanly " possible for "any" human being to be a Universal hero in every language spoken on the planet ? No right?

Star, and Super star (Can be applied for any entertainer) are common titles in the "Entertainment industry" , but rest of the Mokkai titles given in South Indian Cinema is nothing absolutely ridiculous ... IMHO

Star and SuperStar came from hollywood. So instead of copying titles from there its best to keep own titles like UlagaNaaagan / Universal Hero which matches only for kamal! Regarding its meaning, lot had been said. Iam not interested in replying to ppl who as a dubm, take and ask for literal meaning!

Among many meanings, one of the reason for the title UlagaNaaagan / Universal Hero is the tremendous business which happened for Tenaali, not just South but also overseas. Thatswhy KSR named kamal UlagaNaaagan / Universal Hero meaning he is the king of BO, based on the business of Thenaali. The collections too were too big for Tenaali!

And above all, kamal is humble enuf not to use those titles in UV and Paapanaasam posters! The real humility unlike others who self-praise themselves in their movies with titles logos intro songs!

If u ask for a literal meaning for Universal Hero/UlagaNaayagan, then likewise the phrase SuperStar also is meaningless. I've seen channels like NDTV propogating rajni as National Superstar, even b4 Enthiran. And also have seen fans doing the same. So i pointed out the illogica ness in it. Glad that you too agreed the logic in my question!

We as kamal fans have no worries in any title for Rajni, by his fans! Its their wish! Likewise Universal Hero vaiyum freeyaa vittutteengannaa enakku athuve pothum!
