Know what would a Rajini film title fetch you!

Friends,

We have seen that Kollywood is much after the titles of old movies of Superstar. But did you ever got doubt what would a mere Rajini film title give a producer?

Just read the following news piece from Times of India, Chennai edition and know...interesting....

Padikkathavan takes off


On a high from the success of Yaaradi Nee Mohini, Dhanush is springing back to action with Padikkathavan, the title of an 80s Rajinikanth hit. After Pollathavan, is Dhanush making it a habit of keeping titles of pa-in-law’s films? “It was totally coincidental. Actually we wanted to keep Sivaji sir’s Padikkatha Medhai as the title. But that was not available. Also the moment we announced the title Padikkathavan, the business of the film had gone up by two crores. That’s the magic of keeping Rajini sir’s titles for my films! It’s also my good time that my decisions on scripts are working in my favour,” Dhanush modestly adds. Padikkathavan has commenced shooting and the unit is leaving for their first outdoor this Friday.
