Well said, Plum. Ungalukaaga oru shot bourbon adikkiren tonight.

CR, Kamal and Rajini never worked to build fan base. Remember in, Baasha was it?, he said, "Ithu thAnA vantha koottam", it applies to both and their predecessors.

CR, that's the point. Rajini/Kamal don't need to be on twitter to maintain the level of their current star status. Those Bolly starlets ofcourse need the attention to stay in news. Even Amitji, who you'd think doesn't need twitter like R and K, but he needs it. That's why he is a lesser superstar than either R or K. Try telling Northies that, though. Btw, forget R/K, note that even V/S/A/V etc aren't on twitter without compromising much of their popularity. Maybe twitter-litmus for popularity doesn't apply to TN?

My view was related to their accessibility on the whole, not particular to Twitter... Amitji was a superstar 2 /3 decades ago.. we need to compare the Amitabh of 80's with R & K.. My point is that the fan base and image of Bollywood stars are increasing because of their accessibility. I do accept that R & K does not require to keep their star status..

They never worked to build their fan base, but they got their fan base when they were accessible

Not sure RR - is anyone becoming a fan after getting access to the twitter handles of their stars? I think it is otherwise no? Who other than a die hard Salman Khan fan or a 20 something hindi news channel cub reporter out to find some news to fill the air, becomes a salman fan after interacting with him in twitter?

[rsubras]

do stars really join twitter, face book to improve their fan base? why not it can be to be socialize with the ppl around to judge the ppl impulse, a frank opinion on their performance apapdi irukka koodathu? A.R.Rahman lam intha maathiri reason ku than adikkadi forums / facebook / orkut pakkam varuvaar nu kelvi pattirukkaen....

That's what we are saying - you are not going to add to fan base but you are going to keep yourself in news and visible - which lesser stars likie Amitji, Salman etc need. R/K already have that visibility without even trying. A Salman who makes some oddball twitter comments is going to be featured more in Hindi news channels than a Salman who keeps to himself. This is not true of R/K. They'll be in news anyway.

Rightly said. Information about R/K need not to come through themself.....Fans do not wait for R/K to provide info on day to day basis.... fans are still hungry and search the news....I am not sure this would be the case in Bollywood....it is one of the major differences between R/K and other bollywood stars. Since R/K do not divulge themself in such activities, so media started to work overtime. At the end, someone has to feed fans.

[Plum]

At his peak, Amitji never cared for the media - it was only print media at that time but there were a couple of decades when he had a war with the media, and still didn't suffer a dent in popularity. That he has to now tweet, blog etc to remain connected is a comedown, surely?
