Why Thalaivar s films not released on his birthday ?
(Wednesday, 10th December 2008)
Very recently a fan asked me, ‘was there any film released on the Birth day of our Thalaivar Rajini?’
Immediately I had gone through the movie data base of Rajini.
What a surprise… among all the 150 plus films, no film was released on the prideful birth day of Rajini.
In his earlier days, some films like Balu Jenu (Kannada – 10.12.76), Galatta Samsara (Kannada – 2.12.77), En Kelvikkenna Bathil (Tamil 9.12.78), Justice Gopinath (16.12.78), Priya (22.12.78), Murattukaalai (20.12.80) were released in the month of December. But none of them was released on his birthday.
Later Rajini became the Box Office ‘Shahenshah’ and every producer wants to release his film on festival days like Deepavali, Pongal or Tamil New Year.
Rajini is the man who never compels any one to do something to celebrate his Birth day. In fact he told that he never liked to celebrate his birth day and always keeping that day to think about him and the purpose of his birth in a lonely environment.
Remember, Ajith Kumar wanted to release his remake of Rajini’s Billa on the birth day of Thalaivar, last year. But Rajini advised him not to do like that and asked to release the film normally.
That is the nature of Rajini sir.
That is the secret behind his popularity as the world’s most beloved actor and most wanted ‘leader’ of the Tamils.
