Superstar's Himalayan trip & Kuselan shoot makes headlines

Superstar never makes any hullabaloo regarding his Himalayan Trip as he considers it as a sacred trip. But media sniffs it and makes it as a big news. Over the years, his Himalayan Trip has become a headline news. And many times dailies have published it in wall posters.

Even a secret trip makes headlines
Even yesterday too, Thanthi has published Superstar's Himalayan Trip in headlines. (See attached pic). Once he finishes Kuselan shoot this weekend, he will be leaving for Himalayas. And see the Maalai Malar poster in the pic. And that's too our news. These posters are just a sample. Most times our news alone captures headlines in wall posters. Guess why?

Why the Himalayan trip?
Superstar has clearly answered this in his series in Tughlak during 1995-96 and later during 2005 in a Kumudam interview.

<<<In his words: "If i stick here with my star identity, my people, servants and fans will push me to forget that i am an ordinary human being. They will idolise me. As a result, success will go to my head. But in an unknown place like Himalayas, i am just an ordinary unknown person. No servants or fans. No shouts. My feet will be in ground. And i will get a chance to realise who am i. That recharges me and reinvents me. So, i am off to Himalayas often."

He continues, "Before the vast stretch of Himalayas you become a kid and that pure air, water....wow...you should experience it to describe it. It will be a soulful experience for anybody. If exercise and yoga are to rejuvenate our body, Himalayan trip is to rejuvenate our soul.">>>

Even those who are reading this, would feel to go there atleast once. Isn't it?

I pity on other actors or political leaders who pass their life by being just a frog in well (kinaththu thavalai). Superstar and his experience in different stretches of world should be made useful in
governing us. Let's wait and see what God has in store for him.

Meanwhile, the above scanned attachment of Thanthi says, "After a tight schedule in Kuttanad, Kuslean team is now going on at Kuttanad in Kerala where Rajini's dance sequence with Mamta Mohandas and Nayan is being shot. Apart from dance sequence some other important scenes too is being canned. Shoot is expect to go till June 5 where Superstar will finish his portions and then kick off to Himalayas where he will stay for 2 weeks and return Chennai">>>

Kerala media gives prominent coverage
Kerela media gave importance to the shooting news and published in prominent spaces in their papers. The below newspaper cutting is from yesterday's Malayala Manorama page 2 (India's largest ciruculating regional daily).

I heard that in Kerala, the readers enjoy very much to read the news regarding our Superstar. And so, like Tamil papers, in Malayalam too our news appears regularly - sometimes in main columns.

Any Mallu friends, pls read this and just tell the important points which we have not read anywhere. Just important points are enough.

And....how's the still in the paper? A superb pose by thalaivar, isn't it?
