Rajini’s
upcoming mega movie Sivaji is in the news
almost every other day owing to flash
updates about its added attractions and
the prominent locations in Chennai the
shoots are being held. The hype Sivaji
has managed to generate among the public
is indisputable and quite unseen for Tamil
movies. Rajini’s previous venture
Chandramukhi broke all the box office
records and has seen a run of 500 days.
Shankar
has wrapped up the romantic sequences
of the movie in his favorite locations
in and around Karnataka. Shankar has
a thing or two for Karnataka and his
movies will always feature exotic
locations from the state. He is head
over heels with the palaces, the temples,
and rocky landscape of Karnataka.
On the contrary to his stringent security
arrangements, stills from the duets
that were filmed in Karnataka managed
to sneak into the Internet and were
being circulated like hot cakes. Shankar
is shocked by the incident and is
imposing even more rigorous measures
to safeguard the locations and the
shoots to avoid any such incidents
in the future.
The
duets with Shreya were also shot in international
locations in the Europe predominantly
Spain. The second schedule of the movie
is slated in Chennai and the shoots are
progressing. The movie has reportedly
been finished to 75%. The other star cast
in the movie are Suman – the villan,
Manivannan – Rajini’s father,
Vivek and so on. Interestingly enough,
talks were held with Sathyaraj, Prakashraj,
Mohanlal, and Nana Patekar to play the
villan part in Shivaji. None of them were
ready to don the role and Suman was finally
roped in.
Rumor has it that Shankar is planning
to offer the role of Rajini’s superior
to one of the bollywood biggies. His first
choice is Amitabh Bachchan and if the
talks fail he will go for Sanjay Dutt,
sources reveal. The boss’s role
will be shown as Rajini’s godfather
who lends Rajini a helping hand during
his difficult times. News will soon be
out as to who will do the vital part of
Rajini’s mentor.
