| Rajini
back in Chennai – releases book
on Chevalier Sivaji |
|
He
is the busiest and coveted star
in South Indian cinema. He takes
home the heftiest paycheck in the
nation. The superstar who lives
up to his title in both movies and
in real life is a simple and down-to-earth
human being much known to Tamils.
Rajini’s limitless credentials
are indescribable.
Extracting
quality time from the demanding
shoots of his Sivaji, Rajini proved
yesterday that he would be in the
forefront when it comes to executing
deeds honoring the veterans of Tamil
cinema.

Rajini
released a book yesterday on
the pioneer actor Sivaji Ganesan
titled ‘Uyarndha Manidhan’
authored by the noted PRO Peruthulasi
Palanivel.
The
most wanted Chief Guest in the
industry
The
number of invitations that Rajini
receive to chair functions in
the industry is overwhelming.
Shankar, in his Imsai Arasan
function denoted that he has
had tough times to get the superstar
to chair the 100th day function.
This goes without saying that
Rajini is very choosy in chairing
functions.

The
book Uyarndha Manidhan
The
author of Uyarndha Manidhan - Peruthulasi
Palanivel is a noted PRO of AVM. When
he decided to pen a book on the veteran
Sivaji Ganesan, he required sponsors
for his project. Thankfully,
Guru Srinivasan from Vaaniyambadi
and LIC Sridhar from Chennai who were
ardent fans of the thespian and the
Superstar came to his rescue and extended
financial assistance for the project. |
|
| When
the book was finished, Palanivel
decided that the first copy
should be released by the Superstar
and approached S P Muthuraman
who is also the associate producer
of Sivaji. Promising him with
minimal hopes SPM approached
Rajini and came back with a
positive response. Rajini who
always reveres the thespian
Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan instantly
gave the nod after making sure
that the occasion will be a
low profile happening with no
fan fare or flashing media lights.
And to everyone’s surprise
he agreed to keep the event
in his office at Raghavendra
Mandapam itself.

The
function
The event was scheduled at
9.30 pm yesterday (9th November) and
the organizers were waiting for Rajini’s
arrival. The Superstar reached the
venue a little late owing to the lashing
rains and bad traffic. However, he
promptly apologized on his late coming
to S P Muthuraman, wished everyone
in his trademark style and asked about
their well-being. Then the official
book release event was carried out.
He didn’t fail to have a quick
glance at the book and assured that
he will give his feedback once he
finishes reading it.

God
blessed me only with money and
not with hair
A while later, Rajini,
in a pensive mood, flipped through
the photographs presented by
the event organizers which were
taken during the Imsai Arasan
function – which was also
posted in our website –
and commented that his photographs
were good except that he had
gone bald. He funnily stated
that God appeared before him
30 years ago and asked if he
wanted more money or more hair.
Rajini’s choice of money
made him lose his hair obviously.
Over the years, his earnings
kept rising and his hair kept
falling. |
|
|
|
Rajini also stated that whatever left
on his hair is been plucked away by
the hairdresser of Shankar’s Sivaji,
to accommodate the wig. Now he prays
for hair but God is showing a deaf ear.
Superstar laughed and signed off in
his mode. |
