I would prefer to act with Rajinikant than Daniel Craig (James Bond) - Says Priyanka Chopra



Friends

This is what Priyanka Chopra has said in one of her interviews.

What would you do if you get an offer to act with James Bond and Rajinikant at the same time?
Priyanka:- I will definitely would prefer Rajinikant over James Bond thats for sure, I have acted just in 1 movie in tamil.

Today in bollywood Priyanka Chopra is equal to Aishwarya Rai in terms of popularity, Recently priyanka was in chennai for a function and this is what one of the press guys had asked her.

I will act with Superstar Rajini than Daniel Craig without thinking twice. That doesnt mean Daniel is not a good actor but Rajini is someone special she adds.

Endhiran’s shooting is currently taking place in Chennai, confirms our sources. It is said that Shankar is filming a few important scenes in the northern parts of Chennai and the locations are kept so secret that the crew are not aware of the shooting spot even a day prior.

Interestingly, Rajini is also trying to mask himself in anonymity and is adopting various new techniques to get away from the fans and bystanders. It is well known in film circles that the Superstar prefers and uses either an Ambassador or Fiat car. In an attempt to conceal his identity, Rajini is off late spotted seen using a Toyota Qualis.

Endhiran - 3rd schedule begins smoothly



Friends
After some baseless rumours doing the rounds (global crisis will Endhiran continue shoot, marmayogi shelved etc) the shooting proceeds as per plan and there are no changes.

There had been a few jitters in the Endhiran camp following the global economic meltdown and its concomitant effect on Ayngaran. There had been doubts as to when the third schedule, slated to begin on the 16th of the month would actually take off. Now, new developments suggest that damage control has effectively set in and there might not be much to fear.

The management of Ayngaran has reportedly asked Shankar about the exact requirements of the schedule. This is being done as a measure to tighten purse strings to ensure that no problems are encountered during later stages of shooting. So, the third schedule, set in the pristine snow clad valleys of Kulu Manali is expected to take of this month, after a four day delay. Looking at how big the problems being faced by the industry in general are (Marmayogi being all but shelved being an indicator of the magnitude) this four day delay is not much.

Shankar plans to shoot a duet featuring Superstar and Aishwarya Rai in some never before tried locations in Kulu Manali, trust Shankar to surprise us. The visuals will definitely have the rich and grand stamp of the master director.

Infosys says Rajini is the biggest star of India



Infosys conducts polls in their intra web site among employees to get to know their pulse in several issues and subjects. Though every branch of Infosys has provisions to conduct polls, normally it is conducted by the “Mangalore” people and people in all other Indian cities will be able to vote !

Yesterday, the title of the poll was “Who is the real Superstar of Indian cinema?“

And of course ‘No prize’ for guessing the poll result(please find attached pic), but I feel this carries more importance for the following reasons.

The poll is not constrained within southindia and more than 50% people are northindians and tamil people might be max 20%.

Each person can give only one vote. So around 6800 people across india have voted for the same, 6800 individual votes(the biggest turn out for a poll so far)
Also, one has to remember that this poll has come after so many bad controversies about thalaivar- courtesy : hogenakkal, kuselan, ill media works coz of vijayakanth’s tactics etc

So indeed this is a great news to cheer and ofcourse to share with all fans !!!


Already NDTV,CNN IBN,Times Now and Headlines Today Surveys revealed that more than 85% of their viewers favoured Rajini as the Biggest Superstar ever of Indian Cinema.So this is another jewel in Superstar’s Crown.

'I am a great fan of Rajinikanth and I love all his films. Sultan The Warrior would appease all his fans. The movie is a dedication to my father for all his contribution to cinema,' she said and added, 'my father initially had apprehensions about my directorial skills.

Rajinikanth proved he is lord and master of Kollywood



The most eagerly awaited Diwali day (Oct 27) Tamil Television Ratings (TRP) are out.
Remember the fireworks when Rajinikanth’s Chandramukhi on Sun TV clashed with Ajit’s Billa telecast by Kalaignar TV in the evening 6 pm prime time Diwali day slot?

The winner by a mile is Rajinikanth’s Chandramukhi, which got a whopping TRP of 20.82, while Billa was way behind with 4.28, according to TAM, the authentic Mumbai based television rating agency. The surprise element was that nobody expected Billa to perform so badly when pitched against Chandramukhi.

As per the ratings on Diwali day, at number two was Kamal Hassan classic Vettaiyadu Vilayadu a re-telecast on Sun TV in the 11am slot which got a TRP rating of 11.29. Meanwhile at the same time on Kalaignar TV, Arjun’s Marudhamalai got an impressive 7.74, and came in the third position.

Like in theatres, on television nobody can come near Rajinikanth. He is clearly ahead of all others put together. No wonder nobody dares to release their film along with the superstar. After Chandramukhi’s outstanding ratings on television, Rajinikanth has once again proved he is lord and master of Kollywood.
