Leave Rajini Alone

This was to reply to a unanymous post by a reader in Vikatan

I really pity you for not understanding the facts. When I was in LA, I went for Sivaji, the first time ever movie in US for me. The theatre looked horrible and the sound system was worst at it. Same thing when I watched Dhasavathaaram in artesia, the theatre was a dumbest one. I don't think any good rated hollywood movies are being released in those theatres. Its the Tamil guys who release those movies on those theatres. You do not have any rights to blame them as you desparately want to watch that movie inspite of the theatre condition. Here is the demand and supply works with cost efficiency. When the theatre owner predicts that Hanaskaran can watch Rajini movie in any condition, he is the smartest guy on the earth. You should really ashamed of yourself to have fallen prey for his calculation

Guys.. why you people blame Rajini and show off your IGNORANCE here. We know that you guys graze all the news on internet and pour your assumptions and trying your luck on your comments getting some responses.

First of all, why Rajini has to give the money back to the distributors. Kuselan's case is like they lost money in stock market. Every movie is bought by them under speculation only. Watch, Rajini did'nt tell them that they made big money on chandramukhi. Only Vasu did. But Vasu did'nt promise on give his money back but Rajini did. Which actor, even a new comer would do that. If Rajini want to become rich, he can act in atleast 3 movies a year and act in lots of commercials like Amitabh.

He has that huge fans (mass gathered for his acting style gradually in the last 30 years) all around the world which fixes his price for a movie. Even if he accepts only 2 crores for a movie, there are producers who would hijack him to make movies for them. Don't only talk about Chandramukhi, Baasha, Padayappa, Annamalai went on to become superhit only for Rajini. During eighties, there were many theatre owners in Tamilnadu who massed wealth by releasing Rajini movies.

Also for a fact, Rajini did'nt ask sorry on the Karnataka issues. He asked them to co-operate in releasing the movie. Imagine I being a fan of Tamil Movies, and live in Karnataka. If I could not see one of the most wanted movies of the year, how would I feel against Kannadigas. Also imagine the fate of producer who already budgeted to market the movie in Karnataka. If, the movie could only make 2 crores in Karnataka Rajinikanth could have given this. But that would not solve the problem once for all. Imagine, fans of tamil movies in Karnataka. They would never get to see tamil movies in Karnataka.

Even if you argue, blindly, that he meant asking sorry. Yes, but he did'nt for staging himself on the agitation. But for using that word "udhaikka venaam". I felt bad when he used that word and there is a big crowd, in front of him (they may not be necessarily Rajini fans) who gave a big applause. You will be blaming Rajini only if you are that part of the Crowd, who emotionally whistled as if Rajini, by using that word, would be the only total saviour of tamilnadu and tamils.Rajini, if he was a smart businessman, could have avoided uttering that word. But that poor guy do not know how to put unpleasant thing in a pleasant way, or diplomatically. I also pitied Rajini on that stage for being cornered as Kannadiga and esp satyaraj's pointed remarks on Rajini. No one bothered to talk about Satyaraj, Seeman and what they did to tamils.
My bro married a Kannadiga, its a pure arranged marriage. Its not that my brother would forget my parents or the girl has to abandon her parents. Do you think someone will bring and mix cheap tamil-kannada politics into thier relationship.

Rajini is a pure business man, tell me who is not. Are'nt you? He has that role too along with roles like Actor, superstar, confused kannadiga in tamilnadu due to sensitive politics, father, husband, managing director, CEO etc. He has been doing that in a good way. He has given some part of his salary to the technicians he worked with. Even though it is a small percentage, who else is doing that. Do we?? If 10 dollars is big for us, definitely 1000 dollars is big for him. But why he has to do that?

Stop blaming Rajini.All you can do is STOP WATCHING HIS FANS or do something to educate the hero-worship attitude of Tamils. Try and explore, instead of writing your comments here. You will get that way.
