Favorite Scenes/Songs from THALAIVAR Rajini films #3

[ScottAlise]

TRIVA:

It was third movie for AVM with Thalaivar
The movie celebrated 100 days completing hatrick in AVM, SPM & Thalaivar combo
Initially Vijaykanth was asked for a villan role but he refused. Karate RVT Mani agreed to play Villan role but backed out last minute as he cited the reason that he was a martial trainer though this is a movie and the movie would be like Hero(Rajini) winning over villan(himself) he does not like it
SO the producers and SPM found it difficult to find a villan for this movie. They even asked for writer Panchu Arunachalam but he backed out
It was at that time Jaishankar himself dropped at AVM office and asked what are you going to do when Karate mani has refused the movie ( They were not astonished as Jai sir had very good contacts all over the industry because of his friendly nature). He accepted the viilan role thereby making it second movie in Combo of AVM, Rajini & SPM literally the same team
New type of weapons were designed for this action movie.
The martial arts school scenes were picturised in Love Dale school Ooty
Balaji challenged that it is impossible to assemble all artistes in early morning 5 0 clock (Only Devar films can do that) But SPM made sure all artistes including Balaji, Jai, YGM, Rajini took part in the early morning schedule . Balaji appreciated SPM’s diligence .
The song Pothukutu Othutadi vanam was highly appreciated . Reason for all rain songs the camera would be in middle but in this song Camera would be on top thereby making the rainfall authentic credits to Cameraman Babu.
During the song of another hit song: Adi Masam Kathadeka Silk SMitha was making mistakes in dance steps. Some people made fun of it Enraged silk smitha pushed them in swimming pool. Rajini called her and consoled her and advised her a lot to be calm
The climax scene was a direct rip off from an James bond movie
It was during the climax scene where Radha & Silk has to stand in a winch/ lift .
Radha was initially terrified to stand in so much height but Silk Smitha was so daring that she did not mind that one part of hook of lift was broken and managed in that scene
Satyaraj appears in a fight in this movie
The re recording was fabulous particularly the title score & Interval block fights BGM
