Excited.This is one word that explains the feeling when one gets while seeing this poster of the movie “Sivaji”
I cant imagine a bigger platform for movie hype than this since the day Edison invented moving pictures! Rajini in the lead, with Shankar mastering the direction. AVM is producing it. Adding catalyst to the hype is A.R.Rehman’s music. Frankly, it doesn’t matter if Aishwarya agrees to work in this movie or not! This is already big and we don’t need her to make it bigger. And also, my favorite comedy “thalaivar” vivek is in it :-)

This one picture speaks for itself.
This photo is taken while shooting near Chennai central railway station. Shankar managed keep all other shooting spots a secret, but not this one! :-)
To see Rajini back in to the 80’s look is going to be a treat. I can track back those good old days when Rajini was a real style-icon. He still is a icon today in 2006 but I don’t think the word “style” can be attached to him anymore as age catches up with time. But hey who am I to say, take a second look at the photo and I would love to contradict myself.
I can’t wait for the release of Sivaji. It is going to be a commercial hit, no one can argue about it.
The first day first show madness will be bigger than ever now…
The sound of crazy fans whistling is sure not to allow any one in listen to any dialogues for the first week in theatres…
End of every show you would see tones of torn papers that were thrown by the fans while the show was running…
Milk prices will suddenly shoot up due to demand by rajini fans to perform “milk poojas and abhishegams” for their “god alias thalaivar”
I wonder if they will post pone school/college exams this time around…
Sponsors in the form on “tiger biscuit” and “coca-cola” will carry Sivaji logos on their products…
You would see more posters behind auto-rickshaw’s than you see on the city streets…
There will be Sivaji t-shirts worn by college students all over the city like crazy…
Suddenly everyone will talk about “rasigar manram” shows (fan-club shows) (I doubt if there is such a thing)
There will be traffic jams in front every theatre during show start and end times…
“only” positive reviews in SUN TV and in every other television and magazines…
Vijay/Ajith and other young heroes will suddenly start calling Rajini as “thalaivar” to get publicity for them…
This is how things were and are and things will be. I personally want them to stay that way. :-)
I will surely be trying to get a ticket through my “high-handed” and influential friends to get a ticket in the first week!
