View Full Version : What Next For Rajnikant?



Poornima
5th May 2005, 04:57 PM
after chandramukhi's super success, talks are already taking rounds on rajnikant's next movie. a project with dharani for am rathnam, one with saran for kavithalaya and one with raja for editor mohan are the top-line assumptions at this point of time. but i personally feel that post-CM, it calls for a major shift in rajni's acting career. this success can actually prove disastrous if not taken in the right perspective.

one, CM has proved that a rajni movie actually doesn't need the patronage of his so-called die-hard fans who like to see him doing superhuman stunts and political propaganda for it to be successful. this, no doubt, is a good sign. it can bolster an initiative towards better films from his side, where he can play his age (even almost) and still be dignified and thoroughly entertaining. something like how bachchan graduated to more mature roles.

but the problem is that present-day rajnikant is a much bigger star than what bachchan was during the end of his hero days. understandably, he has to keep the star charisma intact with run-of-the-mill entertainers. he can probably do all-out actioners/comedies and follow them up with some off-beat stuff, by turn. it's time for him to shun teen heroines on screen, the cigarette flicks and sunglass swiping and go back to where he left last at dharmadurai and dalapathy. and please, no more stupid graphics (i've always wondered whether there are actually people who like such stuff. why would he keep repeating this? as someone who admires him, it's a big embarassment watching such scenes). also it's time he turned to young prodigies like selvaraghavan for an image makeover.

he doesn't have anything to prove, maybe. but he certainly owes one to the admirers of his talent. admirers who've always maintained that he has always been a brilliant actor who never got his due. but the big question is, would he take cue or just return to k.s. ravikumar for another bandaa special?

what's your take?

Well Poornima,I am no Rajni fan(as you will know) but your post was interesting enough for me to come here.The main point is, for Rajni's career to take a different way,the price of his products HAS to come down.As long as there is pressure on him(from himself or others)to deliver films which rake in the moolah like no man's business,the dilemma,the long gaps,the indecisiveness will remain.He has to first decide whether he is motivated enough to do films.If yes,what's the motivation-Money or satisfaction of having exploited atleast a little of his potential.He has delivered huge commercial successes,it's the talent which has taken a beating.To start with,he has to forget the money,then thro the media, condition his fans&public alike that his next movie will be different.Price it low,cut the trappings&media hype,get a image makeover&then release it.It might become a disappointment but it won't pinch the pocket.Do it over 3 to 4 movies&the public will get used to it.But Dharani,Raja&KSR are not the right kind of ppl to do that.I have not seen CM,so cannot say if he has indeed tried to move away(a little)from the image trap( the trailors don't seem to give any indication of this)but if he has,it's a step in the right direction.To move further is in the hands of fans like you. :D

I agree with your post, it would be great to c superb* star do a DON type of films like Baasha, but I am not keen on the fact that he sings duets with youn heroines, he is simple too cool & old for this, this applys to his fellow senior Kamal ji too!

after seeig CM , esp the vetai Raja Rajni, I just went back about 20 years ago to remember what a great & talented actor he was, he is an actor par excellence
but some thing went wrong from mid 90's, his fans expect extraordinary image from him, he had to live
with it, he is and was in dharma Sankatam state, i really feel sorry for him at times, due to the immense pressure inflicted on him
from has fans, after all, he is a human being not a super man

Please read this post in a neutral way. The pressure rajni faces was once created by him, his punch dialogs, but he himself realaised and bit underplayed in CM, which i liked, but some disagreed that its not an old rajni films...leave it there.

Now rajni is very calm, and CM success also made hm happy.

what i feel is he must stop acting, come to politics. Thats it,
If not now, atleast after 5 yrs.That too will excite his fans.

Bachan's fame was largley due to the fact he acted in the national Language film(hindi), which has wider audience than regional languages like , so every actor acted in Hindi is known to all in India, even actors like Govinda.

But from south, many normal mumbai wallahs;s don't know much south Indian actors, except Rajni,Kamal and Chranjeeve(to some extent), this applies to all, SPB is a far better singer than Rafi, if u ask a mumbai wallah, he would not know who SPB is, but all of them would have heard his voice and his blockbusters like Maine Pyar Kiya, saajan, Ek Duche kiliye,..etc. , but all Indian know who Rafi is cos he sang in the national language(hindi) so he was bound to famous no matter what, if SPB was born and bought in delhi and became Hindi singer, and Rafi in south, it would be totaly different story!

Did Amitabh act in Tamil film? :shock:
Did Rafi sing any mallu /Tamil song? :shock:

The fact remains, that Rajnikanth is the HIGHEST paid actor in India, does it not prove something? :!:

I heard that Rajini is gonna act with Dharani and KS RaviKumar. I am sure Dharani's movie will be more of an action packed one like DHOOL, where Rajini can really do all his tricks and satisfy his fans completely, provided the screenplay is good. And with KSR, if at all he decides to do JAGGUBHAI, it will be more of a performance-oriented role (Playing a terrorist). So it looks like he's gonna mix both aspects of it.....

Nerd
6th May 2005, 01:53 AM
Rajni on CM's audio release told that Jaggubhai's story was similar to baadshah and thence he dropped that.. What the heck.. who cares.. that wud hav been another blockbuster like baadshah.. but i personally feel that its high time rajni decides to do some performance oriented movies.. not like CM of course.. something like mullum malarum where he excelled in his performance and his heroism with his dialogue delivery and all..

proof - bachchan's flops after his comeback as hero:
mrityudaata, kohraam, suryavamsham, laal badshah, major saab, aks, boom and more. the only hit as hero has been bade miyan chote miyan, that too largely for the david dhawan - govinda draw. i'm talking about the movies where he played hero, before he moved to character roles.

CM was not released all over india because there is no solid audience for south indian movies in the north. because it was not dubed, because it wasn't made as a bilingual, because the producers didn't want it to probably... what's the point? when i say rajni is a bigger star than bachchan after his comeback, i mean to say amitabh CANNOT ensure an initial pull for his solo starrers in any part of india similar to the one which is guaranteed for a rajni movie in the south. this is in no ways to discredit bachchan, who acording to me is the greatest star-actor this country has ever seen.

he being a bigger star is INDEED a problem for him as an actor. unlike kerala, where mohanlal and mammootty can experiment with their roles and still rake in the money, rajnikant is at a disadvantage being in tamil nadu where he's expected to tread a particular route time and again. bachchan could move to better, performance-oriented roles 'coz he was smart enough to realise that his days as angry young man were over and he made a quite shift. and it paid off. rajnikant's days as the formulaic hero are far from over, as the mega success of CM proves. you get the drift?

rasini thatha is not as big as you think... Ramadas' votes are bigger than Rajini's fanclub membership!! :poke:

I think its high time he retires quietly without much ado to avoid any more shame or disastrous confrontation with Kamal films

Rajini never grasped TN politics... so he is not fit for that... His style is outdated, so he is not fit for cine career too...

Dhanush maaplekku manjal araithu kodukka time selavu panna vendiyadhu thaan inime...May be, his second daughter may act as heroine in a Kamal film.!!! :clap:

Baba's losses have removed all profits and goodwill receied form Rajini's films in the nineties... Now that Chandramuki is struggling to even recover its Minimum Guarantee (source - sify)... its end of options for Rasini thatha (in Rediff's words)

After baba's destruction, many Rajini fanclubs were converted into Ajith fanclubs in southern districts....Now there are 20,000 registered fanclubs for Rajini and almost 50,000 registered fanclubs for Ajith!!!!

Alas... history will remember rasini thatha as a loser...nothing more nothing less

Clearly, its a different world now!!!!

1)no one can stop others from posting the threads. if moderator deletes some persons post and is single mindid, then one can open a seperate thread for it. thats the speciality here, u cant close some ones mouth, and vice verse.

2) To put it simple, the success of rajni lies mainly in his speed and style, which he lack very much now......apart, he is/was a vasoolraja in TN & places where Tamilians reside. and to some extent in Japan too.Thats not a gr8 acheivement when comparing all india level.......there were & are VAsoolrajas all over india in different kinda states\categories. Rajni has not givena Titanic, not He is not an All-Indian Star, He may be known\bit famous in all parts of india, like kamal.Thatsall. Rajni can draw paralells but cannot be trmed the most BO claiming Star of india.

Kamal has multiple talentsm got sufficient failiures which were considered worthy classical, meaning and bringing his filmi talents and versetailities, This i known all over india. He works in multiple Filmi departments and almost succeded in all including mass hero ship and BO conquirement. In that way, Rjani cant be compared withKamal itself, i indial level. So comparoing, or bringing Amithaabh in linies between Rajni's capability is an all indian ridicule.

god, why are you hell-bent on this, man? is this discussion about kamal's talents??? please don't trigger another rajni-kamal debate here 'coz this is not the thread for that. why don't you just take a hike and post a thread on how big a hit his next movie is going to be in ettuppatti and timbuktu??

and bachchan was brought in 'coz there was a question whether rajni should take bachchan's route and try more serious roles. what national ridicule are you talking about? however hard you close your eyes, the fact remains that are only three superstars in india now - rajnikant, chiranjeevi and shah rukh khan, not necessarily in that order.

again, the topic we are on is about what his movies should look like from now.

I found nick's post very funny, so i replied with smileys, of course anyone is allowed to do that, apart from conversing abt the thread topic. Thats all.

If i were to say something about this topic, which of course i can as a tamil movie goer, i would say for everyone's good rasini shud retire from film industry and shudn't show his face ever again in screen whatsoever. If rasini would do that then it will definitely end up in Tamil cinema producing more good movies, which now only a very few like Kamal,Mani... r doing.

Rajni too is a versatile actor.. i bet u cud hav watched n admired him in 6-60, mullum malarum, johny etc.., his last good perf oriented movie was thalapathi.. aft tht no one was ready to perceive him as such kinda actor.. thts y to satisfy his huge fans he started to do mass movies.. and in CM he dint do anything of tht sort except first few mins.. since CM is also a big hit wht i suggest is let him get back to the 80s and do perf oriented movies..

keep the fans in hand, not to lose them, to continue making the

Tit for tat.. if he acts in a movie which has everything the fans need (punch dialogs, styles, action sequences) that movie will be a huge hit.. will do tremendous business and apparently he will get a lumpsome amount as salary... tit for tat

man, how disgusted can you get with the drubbing ME got at the hands of CM? unga thalaivar padam odrathukkaaka mathavanga ellaam retire pannanumaakkum! :lol: at age 55, rajni has just given a superhit, absolutely routing competition from his and the present generation (ME and Sachin). it goes without saying that this success would convert to more money rolling into the industry which in turn means more room for small films. and you want him to retire? just curious, did you see the outlook article which said both rajni and kamal should retire to save tamil cinema?

about the future of rajnikant, the actor, i think he should produce movies with makers like bala where he can deliberately cut down on the hype, price them cheaper and create a pre-release awareness that this one is NOT going to be an out-and-out commercial venture. two-three films like that and i guess even his mass fans would get used to the system.

This is the thing, that has been happening for Kamal since his Guna,Mahanadhi,......
But don't worry Kamal is a man of steel. He will definitely continue. If his so called flops r real flops, how could have he been doing movies even now?

I said that i don't care abt hits n misses, bcos i didn't want 2 indulge myself in arguments abt hits or flops. Cos no-one really knows the real picture, definitely not this TAMIL websites, so what's the point in we arguing it's a hit and it's a flop. Probably after a 7-8 weeks the real picture will emerge. And moreover HIT is not just depended on how many days a movie run?, there r a lot other factors, such as cost, the price it was sold,..... low budget films can get the money back in 2-3 weeks, whereas big budget extravaganzas will have 2 run for many weeks to get the money back...........................

At least Big "B" isn't giving Punch dialogues or rip-off matrix moves.

Thatha's movies over Kamal have flopped yet they continued to run for 100 days. Why, you ask? Because it's image and style. Big B on the other hand and Kamal have skills to pay their bills.

CM was all image and return of superstar as mentioned, but it failed to do so because Rajni didn't really have a role, he disappears after that Kite song and returns after Interval.

MX on the other hand had a story, comedy, sentiment all in 1. Rao has done a good job, but I prefer to watch in hindi cause it's suits the mumbai lingo, especially Ramesh Aravind, for a first debut, he spoke hindi well, if not fluent with comic style.

Bottom line: Rajni should've gone back to being a bus conductor in Karnatika.

Poornima,
Very good posting. As a big thalaivar fan, I want both - the type of movie where you can scream your head off along with the rest of the fans and have semma ragalai from start to finish (like Basha). and the type where we get to see him in roles where he can explore, like the Vettaiyan role in CM, or some of the serious roles he did in 70s.

I think if he does movies more frequently, then the hype & fan-pressure will ease a bit; If the expectations are set right before the release, it could very well be done. There are young & talented directors like Bala, Cheran, SJ Surya etc. who he should work with...

One other thing, it does not matter whether it has been done before or not - it only matters if SS wants to do it.

They said he was too dark to be a hero
They said he did not look good
They said he could never dance
They said he was aging terribly & losing his hairline.

Thalaivar usually replies to these folks ONSCREEN! So he will, until he decides to retire - on his own terms!!!

Regards

I wish I could see a "Rajni movie" with "padayappA-looking smoking Rajni" as a good "bad-guy" with a "kALi-attitude" (muLLum malarum) . AN ANTI-HERO (SMOKING and DRINKING and KILLING) with a beard of course.

The story should be more like an OLD "bad-guy" fights against bad people for some sort of "justice". Rajni's character in that movie should SMOKE, DRINK and KILL people just like our "william munny"!

* Never let politicians to control you or the cinemA, ever. Dont fall for the "bait".

Apart from this talks are on to remake Chandramukhi in Hindi. The film is likely to be directed by Vasu itself and efforts are on to rope in Amitabh for the Rajni role.

CM in Hindi starring Amitabh Bachchan???????

First of all, it is totally unbeleivable that Amitabh Bachan, who
today does not care anymore for star image, an actor who
is today concentrating more on good roles for himself will
do such a role (considering the remake is same as CM Tamil),
he is not mindless enough to act as a young man romancing
his grand daughter or creating a cyclone by wishwooshing his
60plus year old legs. Especially after doing a class movie
recently "Black", it would be degrading to himself. Probably Vasu had some dream M-B I personally feel he will never do this type of
a movie.

Even if there is a movie made in Hindi with any actor,
does the credit go to CM??? and should it be called a remake
of CM considering that CM was actually copied from the
first original/Malayalam version which was remade in
Kannada even before it was made in Tamil?????

I understand M_B, I would definately appreciate Rajini doing
roles suiting his age and not doing gimmicks and larger than
life roles. So I did not comment anything on it.

The statement re remake of CM in Hindi starring Amitabh shocked/surprised me, hence I commented on it.

[tscii:e392a235a1]Rajini to act in remake film?
- 18.05.2005
http://www.cinesouth.com/masala/hotnews/new/18052005-3.shtml

It is indeed difficult for the operators in the theatres where 'Chandramuki' is screened, because, they have to see this film at least for hundred more days, again and again. There is no other go for them, because crowds are still thronging the theatres like that.

Producers are very much excited and also concerned that, if they get a chance to make Rajini to act in their films next, they have to retain or strengthen the pride that is felt by Shivaji Production. Editor Mohan is going to buy a Hindi film for Rajini.

This film 'Waqt' is a 'Chandramuki' in Hindi, that is, in collection. It has become huge hit even in U.K. So much so that, it got the rare honor of getting the first place in U.K top ten list. Due to this, a Hindi film has got that honor in U.K after a very long time. Amitabh Bachchan and Akshey Kumar had acted in this film.

This film is being run with Houseful board still hanging at the doors of the theatres. In the remake of this film, Rajini may act in Amitabh's Character. 'Jeyam' Ravi, in the role of Akshey Kumar and the director will be his elder brother Raja… Editor Mohan is making his moves with this dream.

But the decision lies with the person, taking a break at Rishikesh.

Friends,
Although i haven't seen CM, from what i heard from my friends (Rajni fans), it seems there are relatively fewer gimmicks and "punch" dialogues compared to his recent movies.That, to me, is a step in the right direction for Rajni. And if the news about him acting in the remake of "Waqt", it's another positive step. Though i haven't seen Waqt, I say this because despite the fact that the movie will be customized for the locale and more so for Rajni, if i'm not wrong, it will be a character based role, thereby reducing the scope of gimmicks and "punch" dialogues.
There's no disputing the fact that Rajni can act - Mullum Malarum, 16 Vayathinile, Thillu Mullu, Johny, Thalabathi are cases in point. It is also a fact that as far as the BO is concerned, he has nothing left to prove, he's already acheived incredible success. However, i wish he challenges himself as an actor by doing demanding roles, something which he hasn't done in the last few years, IMHO. Any fear that this would not be liked by his fans are completely unfounded. They said the same for CM in the first week but the result proved otherwise. I'm not talking about the quality of CM - it may be good or bad, but the very fact that this movie has provided relatively more scope for other actors is good news.
It's indeed good for the industry if his movies are commercially successful, but it would be much better if he is more discerning in doing quality films. Even a movie like Thirupachi can generate business, but we don't need a star of Rajni's stature to do movies just to bring commercial success.
As far as the directors are concerned, i personally wouldn't want him to do films with directors like Dharani etc. because i feel that would take him back to sqare one - not a progressive change. Maybe one of the talented new-comers who don't bow down to commercial pressures and who want to break the Rajni stereotype.
Hope the positive indications seen now push Rajni higher as far as performance is concerned. That will do a world of good for the industry. After all, money isn't everything, quality is :)

No 'Waqt'remake but a direct Tamil film-comedy entertainer.

Oh ok, guess we'll have to wait a while before the final word on his next movie is out...

Well, whatever it is, hope there's enough subtance in the movie.

CM, should not have happened. But I guess Rajini was just playing it safe after Baba's 'failure'. What a waste of talent, especially when Rajini and Prabhu are joining forces again. I was especially disappointed with Prabhu, who looked wooden most fo the time. That man can pull punches and steal shows, fer gad's sake.

CM is tolerable when you fast forward all the non-Rajini, non-Vadiveloo scenes.

I am hoping something powerful, more powerful after Sivaji. Something that will bring back the energy that he had when he was working with Mahendran and KB.

Last I heard, he's doing voiceover work for his animation movie done by his daughter, Soundarya.

Then there were talks of his retirement afterwards which sources close to him say that he's supporting more on that front.
