Enthiran 2…


The pre-visualisation has started. It is going to be a tough project, at the same time an interesting one too! I don’t believe in homework but for Enthiran 2, I need to sit down in the ideation process as saving a scene is equal to saving a lot of money.

He Let Go Of Rajini For Mahesh

It was reported some time back that Ratnavel is the cinematographer of Mahesh's upcoming film Brahmotsavam.

The film is scheduled for release in summer of 2016 and the shooting is currently on. However, while having a top cinematographer is good news for the team, Ratnavel himself had to make a tough decision to continue doing the film.

As a rule, Ratnavel only accepts one film at a time, though many top cinematographers manage clash of dates by using assistants. But Ratnavel insists on being there for each and every scene and because of this commitment, he had to let go a rather prestigious project.

Shankar had offered him Robo 2 which stars Rajinikanth, but Ratnavel had to turn down the offer due to Brahmotsavam.

Surely, a tough decision and a mark of professionalism of Ratnavel, which makes him one of the top cinematographers in the country right now.

-"great andhra" claims!

Amazing Amitabh

"Rajinikanth is an incredible phenomenon, not just in our country but outside too." - Amitabh Bachchan, November 2014 @ International Film Festival of India, Goa.



Five years after becoming an actor by profession, Rajini did Billa (1980) for producer K. Balaji, the film directed by R. Krishnamurthy for the story by writer duo Salim-Javed, who wrote the original version in Hindi, titled Don (1978), staring Amitabh Bachchan. The 80's Indian Film Culture was about Remakes. While doing the Rajini Title Cards, I noted that many of the South Indian Productions worked with North Indian Film Banners. The mutuality is not only about sharing stories, but making two cardinal directions meet and their respective movie making industries to flourish. Amitabh Bachchan and Rajini soon became a bridge over which film makers started to travel bringing various flavoured films to and fro, making this combo an immense success.

Rajini went ahead and made back-to-back remakes which helped him in stabilising his film carrier as an actor. It was not only just a jest from Producers & Film Makers, but an insistence from Amitabh himself. The list is as follows :

Amitabh Strarrer - Rajini Starrer: Comments

Majboor (1974) - Naan Vazavaipen (1979) : Playing Second Role to the Lead Actor Sivaji Ganesan.
Don (1978) – Billa (1980)
Deewar (1975) – Thee (1981)
Laawaris (1981) - Panakkaran (1991)
Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) – Ram Robert Rahim (1980)
Khud-Daar (1982) - Padikathavan (1985)
Trishul (1978) – Mr Bharath (1986)
Kasme Vaade (1978) – Dharamathin Thalaivan (1988)
Mard (1985) – Maaveeran (1986)
Khoon Pasina (1977) – Siva (1989)
Namak Halal (1982) – Velaikaran (1987)

In 1983, when Amitabh was already an established star in Indian Cinema, he encouraged Rajini's Hindi Debut Andha Kanoon by doing a cameo role in the film. While Rajini was busy starring in films down south, Amitabh extended his hand to Rajini for starring in his feature films which includes - Hum & Geraftaar. The character Krishnan Iyer M.A. in Agneepath (1990) was written for Rajinikanth, but later played by Mithun Chakraborty.

Amitabh always expressed his admiration over the traits of Rajini's onscreen characters. Along the path, Rajini Remakes started to create its own sensation, the Rajini Raise was inevitable. Gaining a strong hold during the 80's, Rajini walked into the 90's [Ref : Rajini Round - Nineties Rajini] creating his own genred films, gracefully accompanied by his 'On-Off' Screen friend Mr. Bachchan.
