Superstar elected Most Favourite Actor in SS Music polls

Southern Spice Entertainment, fondly called as SS Music which is a famous music channel in peninsular, used to contest polls frequently. The poll would be either online or through sms or both.

The channel recently conducted poll (through SMS) on Most Favourite actor and the contenders were Rajini, Kamal and others. (Don’t want to name the rest. It will make the total poll a joke. So leave it.)

No surprise, Superstar elected the most favourite actor with 52% votes and Kamal came the next with 27% votes. You must note that viewership of SS Music channel is not as other channels and here the viewers are
mostly teenagers and college studs. Thanks for our fans and viewers who voted for Superstar.

(In another poll which was conducted last week where Ajith, Vijay, Vikram and Surya were contenders, both Ajith and Vijay garnered same percentage of votes and the poll drew a tie.)






Yet another Bollywood hottie hankers to work with Superstar Rajini

The list of stars who have great respect with Superstar and wish to work with him looks like never ending. Just before we heard that Tisca Chopra wishes to act with Superstar Rajini and here’s yet another cutie who joins Tisca. It is Amruta Patki who has expresses her yearning to act with Superstar Rajini in any one of his projects.

The beauty who was present in Chennai for a film event spoke to the scribes about her visit and wishes.

Deccan Chronicle reports:
‘I am yearning to work with Rajinikanth’

Amruta Patki, who was judged Miss India-Earth for the year 2006 and Miss Earth Air (at the Miss Earth 2006 competition), was recently in Chennai to participate in the trailer launch of the forthcoming Madhavan starrer Naan Aval Athu at Sathyam Cinemas. The six-tall foot damsel draped in a scarlet sari was the centre of attraction, turning heads not just with her beauty but also with her inspiring voice. Having made her debut in the world of films as a playback singer, Amruta has set ramps on fire and she is now preparing herself for the big plunge into acting — both in Kollywood and Bollywood.

She has been receiving a lot of offers but Amruta says she will reveal the details at the right time. So are there any dream projects she has her eye on? Amruta says, “Like the aspiration of every other actor in the country, acting alongside Rajinikanth would be a dream come true for me as well. I am yearning to work with Mani Ratnam. I want to be a puppet in the directors’ hand, moulded to suit the character I play.” Amruta isn’t a new face in Chennai. Speaking about the city’s sense of fashion, she says, “I love Chennai for the tradition it epitomises. Although the fashion mantra is tuned to commercial success, it’s certainly unique and far removed from what’s there in other metros.”



Endhiran & the highest paid actor

It is always a sensational news for media to speak about cine stars’ remuneration. What would be the case if it is Superstar?

A vernacular magazine has recently gossiped in a ‘question answer’ series that Superstar would pocket Rs.25 crores as his remuneration for Endhiran. Industry grapevine says that all biggies (includding Ash, Rahman, Shankar, Rathnavelu) who are associated with Endhiran would get the highest remuneration of their career.

Let’s hope and wish the exhibitors and distributors of Endhiran too earn the highest profits of their profession when the film hits the screens, next year.

Note:
We should mark that - till now Superstar has not divulged any figures - regarding his salary or affirmed the hearsays on his salary that making rounds for the past few years.

Even at the ‘NDTV - Indian of the year’ awards function held last year, Superstar simply brushed it aside humbly by putting back question to Sreenivasan Jain, “Who said I am the highest paid actor?”






Although Endhiran is only slated for a 2010 release, shoots are on in full swing with Shankar calling the shots in locations encompassing the exotic South American countries to our very own Chennai. He is spotted with his cast and crew in and around Chennai a few days ago too.

As is customary to Shankar’s movies, Endhiran’s song sequences are said to be the highlights of the film. Interestingly, the recently filmed duet song between

Rajini and Ash in Machu Pichu, Peru is choreographed by Raju Sundaram whose quirky moves add spice to Shankar’s creativity. The movements in the song are salsa based, it is learnt. Besides, one of the song sequences required a robotic style dance for which Lawrence came in handy. The technical aspects of this song have been done in one of the studios in Hollywood. Besides, shoots were also held in the picturesque Hawaii islands.
