Raana - Rajini's next film

Rajini's next venture is Raana!
This news comes as a delight to Rajini's fans. The director of this new venture is K.S. Ravikumar. The duo has already teamed up in Muthu and Padayappa which turned out to be super hits.
Production: Eros entertainment and Haras pictures ( which is a partnership firm of Soundarya's Ocher studios)
Photography: Rathnavel
Music: A.R.Rehman
Editing: Antony
Art : Rajeevan
Its noteworthy that the technical team of Enthiran has been fully retained for this film also. The heroine of this film is supposed to be Deepika Padugone but there are chances of replacing her with some other heroine. Anushka plays another female lead role. Rajini is said to portray three roles.
Although there were rumours that the film has a storyline similar to Avtar, the team has disclosed that this film will be a commercial entertainer.
 But the fact that the technical stuff of this film is handled by Icube, a company which has received the Emmy for special effects makes one wonder if the film is a science fiction based one?
Raana- which is a name of the Maharastrian royal clan suits aptly to Rajini who has Maharashtrian ancestry. But Rajini is cherished as a son of soil by all Tamils and his film is eagerly awaited.

Enthiran plot leaked from shooting spot?

Director Shankar alwaays maintain strict confidentiality when it comes to the shooting of his films.He never even allows his crew members to use cell phone in fear of his scenes getting leaked.It only helps in building up of the excitement of his fans.
He is now shooting with the lead actors, Aishwarya and Rajanikanth in and around chennai. He is currently shooting in Vellore in a college campus. According to a film website, Rajanikanth who plays the role of a scientist finds a novel formula. The onlookers from the shooting spot said that they were shooting a scene where Rajani and Aish rejoice over the new discovery by shouting, 'Success!!, success!!'.

The film is eagerly awaited by his fans.

Happy birthday Rajinikanth!!

Rajinikanth celebrated his 59th birthday yesterday. The superstar who is always very modest has requested his fans not to celebrate his birthday as to mourn the killings of Tamils in Srilanka and the Mumbai massacre.He was in Hyderabad shooting for the animation film- Sultan the warrior for his daughter Soundarya.
The actor was born in 1949 at Nocchikuppam, near Krishnagiri. Later his family moved to Bangalore. They shifted back to Chennai and soon young Rajini entered Kollywood, attained stardom and rest is history. Rajini's debutant film was 'Apporva Raagam'. He has starred in 154 films in various languages and most were super hits.His last film was 'Kuselan' which although did not do well in domestic, made a record overseas.
Rajini also played an important role in Tamilnadu politics. His debut in politics is eagerly expected by the people of Tamilnadu for over years. But the actor has taken a spiritual outlook in the recent years. He has always been a follower of Lord Ragavendra from his early years.
