Hindi version of Sivaji The Boss

Superstar Rajinikanth will appear as Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan for his Hindi dubbed version of Shivaji.

Rajinikanth’s Shivaji has rewritten the history of box office records, and is being dubbed and released in Hindi. Legendary film production house AVM will release the film directly in Hindi too.

The original Tamil film had a song featuring Rajnikanth and Shreya in which Rajnikanth appeared as the legendary MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and Kamal Hassan. The Telugu version featured Rajnikanth disguised as NTR, Nageswara Rao and Chiranjeevi.

According to sources, Rajnikanth will now impersonate Dev Anand, Amitabh and Shah Rukh Khan in the dubbed version. The portions will be shot in Chennai this week. The Hindi version of Shivaji will be released for Deepavali.

Rajini & Kamal not to participate

It's the year of celebration for Tamil cinema as it steps its foot on its 75th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, the president of Tamil Cinema Federation Sarathkumar earlier planned to conduct a star night in Malaysia and Singapore in August. It was also informed that the non-attendees of this event would receive a red card.
Despite this announcement and due to non-availability of many big names, the star night was however postponed to January for which many thought all the kingpins would grace the event with their presence. However, as it turned out that, Rajini and Kamal Haasan are said to have turned down the invitation.

Besides, it is also rumored that many stars feel awkward attending such star nights on a regular basis, which are conducted mainly for raising money. And it seems many would actually turn their back to the invitation. As the two biggies have shown their disinterest, others might just follow suit.

Now it is for the world to see how the Supreme star handles this situation.

Rajini gifts Baba dollar to an actor

Naren of Chithiram Pesudadi and Pallikoodam fame is all set to tie the knot with Manju on the 26th of this month. The marriage will be held in Calicut at 10.30 AM. Naren and Manju knew each other before and their decision to remain as life partners was endorsed by their parents also. Betrothal function was held at the bride’s place which was an in-house ceremony and was attended only by close relatives and friends.

After the traditional wedding on the 26th, the couple has decided to host a reception at G R T Grand Days on the 1st of September. Visibly excited parents of bride and the bridegroom are looking after all the wedding arrangements.

Meanwhile when Naren had visited the superstar to invite him for his wedding, he had blessed him and has gifted a Baba dollar. Needless to say, the young actor was touched by this sentiment of the superstar and vouched to keep the precious dollar safe for years to come.

Superstar Rajinikanth among top 50 Indians

On the occasion of 60 years of Indian Independence, the American magazine Business Week brought out a list- The top 50 Indians. The list features celebrities from all walks of life i.e films, sports and politicians. Prominent Indian actors who found a place in the list are Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and our very own Superstar Rajinikanth!

This comes as no surprise, looking at the ecstatic response his film 'Sivaji' got even in the United States.

Chandramukhi sequel?

Chandramukhi is the longest running South Indian movie which has crossed more than 830 days. P.Vasu the director of the movie intends to make use of this success by making a sequel to this film.

The sequal tentatively titled Vettayan, is the follow up to the story. Generally, in Tamil cinema, such sequels are a rarity and Vasu is said to have discussed the script with superstar who is reported to have been very impressed with the same. Now P.Vasu has decided to do the movie only if Rajinikanth says yes to the project.

It is a known fact that Kamal Haasan is also rumored to act in P.Vasu's movie after Dasavatharam. If everything goes well, Vasu would be ready to direct the two legends of Tamil cinema.

Shankar and Rajni’s next projects

After the astounding performance of Sivaji, film industry and fans are eagerly awaiting Shankar and super star’s next venture. As regards Shankar, it was said that he and Ajith will be doing a film together especially after the former watched Kreedom. There was also a talk which indicated that Shankar will be directing the Telugu super star Chiranjeevi which was slated to occur even before Sivaji happened but the duo had postponed this due to prior commitments.

Meanwhile Shankar’s project Robot which he wrote keeping Kamal in mind was said to be revamped with Bollywood matinee idol Hrithik Roshan. Shankar is a known name in Bollywood circles as he had directed the Hindi remake of Mudalvan with Anil Kapoor in the lead. Now with Sivaji’s triumph, there appears to be a shower of offers from Bollywood and King Khan is said to have shown interest in acting under Shankar’s direction. This is likely to happen after Shah Rukh completes his present venture Om Shanthi Om, remember that Shankar wanted the king khan to act in his Nayak, but due to some prior commitments he declined the offer and Anil kapoor got the role.

On the other hand there are varied speculations that are doing its round regarding Super star’s next project. Based on his talk during the audio launch of Poi directed by his guru and mentor K Balachander, it was thought that his next film may be for Kavithalaya films. Sathyajyothi films and Vijaya Combines are also said to have approached Rajnikanth. Meanwhile before leaving for his overseas trip, Rajni had invited yesteryear director Panju Arunachalam for a meeting. This has triggered the hypothesis that super star may help a few producers who had given him breaks during his earlier times which may be something similar to Arunachalam where 6-7 producers were involved in the film. However the actual picture will emerge only after he returns from U.S. But as far as Shankar or Rajnikanth is concerned until an announcement comes directly from them, everything hangs in air.
