Titbits : Thalaivar quenches thirst & Costly sound mixing for Kuselan

Friends, herewith I introduce a new(s) section called “Titbits” where you can find interesting news bits about Superstar from various sources including my friends who read various magazines and weeklies and sources including studios. I have informed them just to pass the news they read or hear so as I could present you. Hope you won’t miss any interesting stuff related to thalaivar hereafterwards. Some of these news has been passed already to newspapers for publishing. From there it will go to other websites. Just keep watching. You will know.

Thalaivar quenches thirst
Each summer you can find ‘Diluted Buttermilk Booth’ 'இலவசதண்ணீர் மற்றும் மோர் பந்தல்' at Raghavendra Mandapam, Chennai. This summer too thalaivar has ordered to set such pandhal which would quench the thirst of people who pass that side. You can find small queue to get the buttermilk and drink there. It is not necessary that you should drink there. You can get it even in bottle and get to your home and drink. Sources say that 30 litres of milk is fermented daily for this purpose as per Superstar’s directive.

A social service without sound…..as usual!!

Superstar watched Arai En 305 Kadavul
Superstar last week watched Shankar’s home production venture, ‘Arai En 305 Kadavul’ directed by Simbu Devan. He enjoyed the humorous parts in the film (may be Prakash Raj coming as God) very much. And guess what there’s another VIP too who watched the film along with him. It is none other than hindi actor Anil Kapoor. Rajini translated many portions of the movie to Kapoor while watching so as he could also enjoy and take part in the laugher riot with him.

Jackie Chan wants to meet Superstar
Dr.Gayathri Sreekanth, the author of ‘The Name is Rajinikanth’ met Jackie Chan during his recent Chennai visit and presented him the biography of Superstar. Jackie Chan read a few chapters and responded, “Superstar…really he is a Superstar. Very simple man!” and expressed his wish to meet the legend. Hope the meeting of both the superstars happens quickly.

Thanks to Dr.Gayathri for her good effort.

"Rajini is really great" - SarathKumar
Vijayakanth is a person who doesn’t know even basic manners. While I was in the diaz during Hogenakkal fast, Vijayakanth never smiled at me or greeted me even for courtesy. I didn’t care that since I know about him well.

At the same time, when poet Vaali gave the fruit juice first to Rajini to conclude the fast, Rajini requested him to give the juice first to me. I just think that. What a great man he is! (Sarath Kumar is Nadigar Sangam president) – Sarath Kumar in an interview

Costly sound mixing for Kuselan
Initially it is believed that Kuselan will be a budget movie since Superstar makes a guest appearance. But by seeing the latest developments we have to re-write our thoughts. Reports say that Daler Mehendi has been paid a whopping amount in lakhs for singing in Kuselan which is a record remuneration for any singer who have so far sung in Tamil.

Costly sets were erected in Hyderabad with help of art director Thotta Tharani which would challenge Sivaji sets. A due of Superstar with Nayantara has already been shot in this visual extravaganza.

Now, it is reported that the music team lead by GV Prakash would move to Metropolis Sound Studio in London for mixing of all songs. It is one of the costliest sound studios in the world. Reports say apart from erection of sets and remuneration to star cast, one crore rupees has been spent for Kuselan songs so far.

Note: As usual, this week Gapsa Vikatan and Yellow Reporter have come up with a
controversial and defaming article on Superstar and Kuselan shooting in Uduamalaipet. Will come up with a separate write-up on that.
Whenever Superstar's name and fame goes up, these two craps won't tolerate that and cook immediately some nonsense with pure imagination and perversion.
