Bruce Lee + Jackie Chan + MGR = Superstar. Who said this?

Superstar has seen everything in life. What he brushed aside as "enough....enough" is now being enjoyed by others as rarity.

No other stars faced blunt crticisims like him and also immersed in showers of praises like him. But all are same for him. He sees no difference between bouquets and brick bats.

This FULL PAGE ad appeared in Daily Thanthi during the year 1999 and look who has given the ad. I think i don't need to reveal the reasons for giving ads like this that time. But it needs wit and wisdom for a person like thalaivar to slip away from the such act of gratifications.

What's the need of giving such ad?

Some of my friends who saw this posting, called me and asked me to brief when and at which circumstance this ad was given and also the motive of giving such a full page ad.

Here it is:

This ad was given during the days of Rajini 25 organised in 1999.

Oh...no...the grapes are sour!

Oscar Ravichandran who gave this ad was used to give such ads frequently that time each year. First i think he gave ad for Superstar during the Dec 12 1996. He was in his initial days of production. Consecutively he raised such ads for three years during thalaivar's birthday. He might have thought that if he gives such ads Superstar would be pleased and give his callsheet.

Ha....ha.....ha.....

It it so simple?

Superstar never encourages attitude like this. He judges persons correctly. He has certain yardstick to select a producer. You can't please him by a full page ad or an act of pleasing.

Oscar Ravi after certain period came to conclusion that giving ads for Superstar is waste and it yields no fruit. So, he stopped the ads after that and thereby failed in the test Superstar was conducting to him. (Because faith and goodwill always last long. It won't be just for 3 years)

Now you could understand how correct was Superstar in discarding him....because you know how he marketed Dasavatharam in Kalaignar tv and also how he spread talks about Anniyan after Chandramukhi's stupendous hit.

I won't expect anything for life long - Oscar Ravi

At the same time i wish to bring your notice about a bit news which i read in some magazine that time (10 years back). I didn't believe this. Anyway i wanted to present to your eyes.

//Superstar who was moved by one of such ads by Oscar Ravi, called him and asked that if he expects anything from him or does he want anything to be done for Ravi. Ravi replied immediately that he expects nothing and life long he won't expect. And giving all such paper ads because of affection he has towards Superstar.//

(Ok...Some of you may have doubt how Superstar selected Ayngaran as Robot producer? Will come out with a separate posting for that.)

Note: The above points discussed are purely in my perspective. I am not sure about the exact happenings.
