Speaking at the audio release function of the Telugu movie ‘Bujjigadu – Made In Chennai’, Rajinikanth, said, 'Puri Jaganath introduced Kannada matinee idol Rajkumar's on to silver screen. Chiranjeevi's son is shaping his career in filmdom under the able guidance of Puri Jaganath. Had I had a son, I would have ensured that he is introduced to cinema by Jaganath'. On taking part in the function, he said, ' normally I am choosy on attending public functions. However when I was approached for this event, I told to them to have a gala function at Andhra Club.' He expressed his confidence that the movie starring Prabhas, Trisha and Mohan Babu would go on to become a big hit. Trisha, Priyamani, Sanjana were among those present on the occasion.

‘Sultan The Warrior’, the hi-tech and novel attempt on celluloid by Superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter, is growing in a fast pace with 20 per cent of the movie is completed. More exciting news about the first ever 3D animation feature film in India is that the music wizard A.R. Rahman has so far composed two songs for the movie. As director Soundarya informed earlier, the film has all the ingredients of a Superstar flick, including the intro song for the Superstar. The song, penned by veteran lyricist Vairamuthu and sung by S.P. Balasubramaniam, is all set to enthrall the Rajini fans. The other song is a duet song, which is again penned and sung by Vairamuthu and SPB respectively.

As interesting as the headline is the story itself. If reports smoking out of Bollywood are to be believed then we can witness the clash of Titans, we mean with regards to the film industry. Red Chillies VFX, Yash Raj FIlms and Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya's Ocher Studios will be vying with each other in the National Association of Broadcasters show to be held in Las Vegas on April 15. The three production houses will also be making their presentations. Reports suggest that the production houses will also extend their service to not just desi but foreign films as well. The highest billing among these three production houses has been given to given to SRK's Red Chillies VFX. Not to mention that SRK's production has ventured into making animation films as well. Rajinikanth's Ocher Studios has ventured in to the production and making of the animated film 'Sultan - The warrior', with a whooping budget of 70 crore rupees. Reports indicate that there is tough competition existing between Red Chillies VFX and Ocher Studios. And with Yash Raj films too coming out with an animation film titled 'Roadside Romeo' the competition is getting stiffer. Now the best we can do is just wait till the calender turns April 15th and watch who gets picked as the best!

Rajinikanth, Pasupathy, Nayantara, Meena, Vadivelu and many others are going to Hyderabad along with director P. Vasu and cinematographer Aravind Krishna by tomorrow. Prabhu, who is doing a role on the request of Superstar, will also participate in the shooting that is scheduled for 30 days. Prabhu, it is learnt, would handle the role done by Mukesh in the original movie ‘Katha Parayumbol’. The movie, produced by Kavithalaya, will be a bilingual venture, being produced in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously. ‘Kuselan’ is expected to be a realistic and poignant movie.

The reason – Rajinikanth has given a green signal to the director P. Vasu for stretching his role with a stunt sequences as well as songs in his upcoming film ‘Kuselan’. The Malayalam original that featured ace actor Mammootty in the part that Rajini will soon be shooting for, just had a little difference; Mammootty had made a very fulfilling guest appearance in ‘Katha Parayumbol’. ‘Kuselan’ will feature that typical Rajini stunt and song, much to the fulfillment of innumerable Rajini fans around. We had informed you a couple of weeks back that the superstar’s fans were making a beeline to director Vasu’s house and requesting the director for a more elaborate role of their superstar, but then Rajini had declined the offer. But all that is history now, because the shooting for 'Kuselan' will soon begin with 25 days of shoot devoted to the Superstar. The first half of the shoot with the superstar is expected to start in Hyderabad this coming week. Reports coming in also suggest that the second schedule of the shooting is expected to take place in Pollachi and Udumalpet regions. ‘Kuselan’ will be produced by director Balachander’s ‘Kavithalaya’. The superstar in this film will share screen space with Nayantara. Pasupathi will be playing the role of Rajini’s friend in this film – the part played by Srinivasan in the Malayalam version. Pasupathi too plays the role of a local barbar, who lives a hand-to-mouth existence in the film and will be seen co-staring with Meena. The comic interludes throughout the film will be provided by Vadivelu, who even with his looks and expression sends the audience into peels of laughter. The film will have music highlights by the young and talented G.V. Prakash who is slowly but steadily carving a niche for himself in the music department. With a winning team at hand we are sure to see big collections for this one at the box office!
