Ringtones
and true tones of Sivaji songs have been available
for just a few days now, but they have already
broken some records. The numbers are expected
to increase sharply when more cellular operators
will be offering 'SIVAJI' downloads on their networks.
Seeing this frenzy, something that happens only
for a Rajni movie, the producers are planning
a real treat for all Rajni fans. Imagine anyone
calling you on your mobile being greeted with
‘Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna
mathiri’ in superstar’s voice!! That’s
exactly the trend that is going to hit the whole
of Tamil Nadu soon. |

As
reported by us earlier, punch dialogues of Sivaji as
caller tones; imagine the response. You won’t
be able to make three calls in a row without hearing
the superstar. That is brand Rajni for you! |
