Rajini’s special gift!

Superstar Rajinikanth's hospitality needs no introduction. The top actor would always give his guests special treatment, perhaps having in mind the popular adage 'Athithi Devo Bhava...'

Of late, we hear that the Superstar is gifting those visiting his house a small figurine of him, with the words 'Un Vaazhkai Un Kaiyyil' (a dialogue from 'Baadsha') craved on it.

"Also, he would give a figurine of his ‘Rajathi Raja’ still to children and youngsters visiting him. The gifts Rajini give would differ, based on the age and nature of the visitors. But they would no doubt inspire him in some way or the other," sources close to the 'Thalaivar' say.

Endhiran story controversy

Author Amudha Tamilnaadan, who has claimed that the story of superstar Rajinikanth’s latest offering ‘Enthiran: The Robot’ was written by her a few years ago, met the police yesterday and submitted her evidence in support of claim that the story was hers.

Authors Amudha and Arnica Nasser have separately filed a case with the police claiming that the story of ‘Enthiran’ was theirs. Amudha has also filed a suit with Chennai High Court claiming a compensation of Re.1 crore from the producers (read Sun Pictures) for ‘having used’ her script without seeking her prior permission.

Amudha has said that the story of ‘Enthiran’ has been ‘lifted’ from her story which was published in the journal ‘Iniya Udhayam’ way back in the year 1996 and has added that Shankar had ‘cleverly’ refurbished the story to suit the needs of celluloid. The crime branch has now taken over the investigations into the case.

Shankar had submitted a written explanation saying that the story was based on the novel ‘En Iniya Iyandhira’ penned by the late author Sujatha. Deposing before the anti-video piracy wing of the CB-CID at the Police Commissioner’s, Office, Amudha submitted copies of the journal ‘Iniya Udhayam’ published in 1996 which carried her story ‘Juguba’.

After verbally explaining her stance in the matter, Amudha left the COP’s office.

The Endhiran Complete 50 Days!

Endhiran was released on October 1, 2010 and has successfully completed 50 days in 145 Theaters.

The movie which is touted to be the costliest film in Asian region is also the highest grosser in India.

Endhiran is said to have collected more than 350 crores of rupees so far and its distributor share alone stands at 120 crores, which by any yardstick is a mere magic. Bollywood movie ’3 Idiots’ is the only movie which comes close to the feat of Endhiran.

As a dubbing movie what endhiran did is a wonder. It has collected more than 30 crores of rupees.
Endhiran crosses 50 days in Andhra, Kerala, Malaysia & Singapore!

Endhiran completing 50 days in 160 theatres in tamilnadu is not a great news, say critics. But they too were awe struck about the feat the movie has done in other states like Kerala and Andhra.

As per the sources 50th day poster of any dubbed movie or original tamil version movie, other than native language movies, crossing 50 days and its poster being pasted on walls is happening after a long time.

Even in south asian countries like singapore and malaysia Endhiran has successfully completed its 50 day run. Though it is undeniable that a considerable amount of tamilians live in those countries, endhiran completing 50 days in many a theater is a matter for wonder.

In malaysia alone the movie is still running in 15 theatres while it runs in Rex and Golden theatres in singapore.

Canada and UK are two of the very prominent western countries where majority of the population consists of white people. Even in these countries endhiran has crossed 50 days. This is something which must be cherished by tamil people.

As rajini aptly pointed out that he would act only in those movies which will bring honour and pride to the tamil/indian people, the movie is just doing the same.

But it proved to be a baseless rumour, when Kamal Haasan personally denied this rumour during a press conference held in Hyderabad on Thursday to announce the forthcoming Media and Entertainment Business Conclave (MEBC) 2010, commencing from December 1.

When asked, he said: "Am I doing a film with Rajinikanth? I don't know what you are talking about." He added that he came to Hyderabad with director Shankar in the same flight, but the director did not speak anything about the project.

ENDHIRAN IN 3D

The success of Endhiran has reportedly prompted Sun Pictures to dub the film in English. Apparently, the producers want to make it a hit among the international audiences too. And in this effort, they have decided to add a few 3D effect scenes.
