Big B not in Sivaji
In fact, last year, Bachchan had also made a guest appearance in a
Kannada film Amrithvarsham. Ganga and Amrithvarsham are Big B's only
two stints in regional cinema. "I did the two guest appearances
because two dear friends asked me to. I was asked to do a cameo in
Rajnikanth's next Tamil project. But I declined as I didn't have the
time. Also learning a South Indian language is a huge responsibility
(in the Kannada film, he spoke English). I truly admire artistes from
Mumbai who act in South Indian films and also speak the language.
Rajnikanth and I are close friends and we have done films together.
I'd have loved to be in his film."

Rajini appears in seven roles in 'Shivaji'
The storyline of AVM's Rajini starrer "Shivaji" is at least out after months of speculation. The puja for the new project was performed last month. It is gathered that Rajini is to play multiple roles - at least seven in the film. The theme is about higher education and how it has been commercialised by interested parties, making it unaffordable for many. Director Shanker had already touched on this subject in 'Gentleman' which was a run-away success, and this time in "Shivaji", the subject will be gone into deeply with high=profile Rajini playing the central role with his wellknown aplomb and characteristic style. What inspired Shankar is said to be a recent real-life incident in which a former MP was done to death in a southern district of Tamil Nadu at the instance of an engineering college owner out of rivalry.
In "Shivaji", Rajini returns from abroad with the objective of establishing a college where he intends providing higher education charging the same fees as in government-run colleges do without capitation fees. He gets the backing of the State machinery in his venture. But the vested interests and the lobby controlling higher education are up in arms against Rajini and waiting to strike at him. In the meantime, the elections come and the ministry is voted out. With the new ministry being formed, anti-Rajini lobby becomes very active and makes things difficult for Rajini. With the result, the college project gets delayed and Rajini faces several hardships. He abandons the idea of taking legal steps and adopts his own methods to fight the lobby and he ultimately succeeds.
It is learned that Director Shanker himself outlined the story to his 20-odd assistants whom he has selected through an advertisement. The response to the ad was overwhelming and as many as 2000 applications were received. Shankar selected 20 of them after he heard from them how they would end the story.
A leading Mumbai-based portfolio photographer has shot the promos and publicity stills with Rajini and Shriya at a special set erected at a Mumbai studio. The teasers and promos are expected to be released in due course.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Rajini has directed his "Thalapathi" Satyanarayana not to participate in any functions of his fans till the State Assembly elections scheduled for May next year, are over in order to avoid unnecessary political controversies.
This Rajini's directive has come as a dampener to his multitude of fans who are planning to celebrate the actor's birthday on Dec.12 with great fanfare all over the State. The fans wanted to utilise the occasion also to give a boost to the making of "Shivaji" .
Vijay TV has undertaken to telecast the birthday celebrations of Rajini . To cheer up his fans, who are otherwise feeling downcast following Rajini's directive to their captain, Satyanarayana, to keep off all functions organised by fan clubs or individual fans, Vijay TV has sent 55-metre-long silk cloth banners to 'Rajini Rasigar Manrams' (fan clubs) in all the 30 districts asking them to collect signatures from the fans. The banners with the signatures will be displayed for Rajini who will view them as part of the celebrations.

S P B sings Sivaji�s opening song
After deliberations, it seems that Shankar has made his mind up to add the inevitable factor of Rajini movies – an opening song in Sivaji. Previously it was reported that Shankar and Rajini have decided against an introductory song.
S P Balasubramaniam
The opening song will be penned by the noted lyricist Na. Muthukumar who joins the list of veteran lyricists such as Vali, Vairamuthu, and Pa. Vijay in writing lyrics for Sivaji.
The song, which will be sung by S P Balasubramaniam, is supposedly a foot-thumping number unlike the philosophical opening numbers that Rajini’s movies showcase. It will have Nayantara shaking her booty with Rajini, as reported by us earlier.
Sources reveal that Shankar has requested the lyricists to keep their lips pursed on the songs of Sivaji. With media’s attention focused towards the mega movie, Shankar feels that any revelation of information will lead to the loss of suspense factor. Meaning, one has to wait till the release of Sivaji’s music. Well, we’ll update you on the scoop every now and then though.

புனே பங்களாவில் ‘சிவாஜி’ கிளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சி
சென்னை, அக். 17: ரஜினி நடிக்கும் சிவாஜி படத்தின் கிளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சி புனேயில் உள்ள பிரமாண்ட சொகுசு மாளிகையில் படமாக்கப்படுகிறது.
ஷங்கர் இயக்கும் சிவாஜி படத்தில் ரஜினிகாந்த் நடிக்கிறார். இந்த படத்தில் ரஜினிகாந்த் வசிக்கும் மாளிகை பிரமாண்டமாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என இயக்குனர் ஷங்கர் முடிவு செய்தார்.
செட் அமைத்து சொகுசு மாளிகையை உருவாக்கினால் மாளிகைக்குள் வைக்கப்படும் அலங்கார பொருட்களின் வாடகை மட்டுமே பல லட்சங்களைத் தாண்டும். மேலும், அந்த அலங்கார பொருட்களை கொண்டு வந்து ஷ¨ட்டிங் முடியும்வரை பாதுகாத்து திரும்ப அனுப்பி வைப்பது சிரமமான வேலை என நினைத்ததால் பிரமாண்ட சொகுசு மாளிகையை தேடிக்கொண்டிருந்தனர்.
அதன்படி புனே நகரில் உள்ள தொழிலதிபர் அவினாஷ் போஸ்லேவுக்கு சொந்தமான பங்களாவில் கிளைமாக்ஸ் காட்சியை படம் பிடிக்க முடிவுசெய்துள்ளனர். இங்கு ஒரு நாள் ஷ¨ட்டிங் நடத்த 3 லட்ச ரூபாய் வாடகையாம்.
பெரிய பட்ஜெட்டில் படமாக்கப்பட்ட இந்தி படங்களின் படப்பிடிப்பு மட்டுமே இங்கு நடக்கும்.

| Though the crew of Sivaji is enjoying a blissful boon of a break, there is no shortfall of news about the mega movie. Latest in the series is about the movie's storyline and the climax shoot location when the crew resumes its work. We have our birdie back with some hot news this time about the next year's visual extravaganza. | ||
| ||
| Sivaji's climax will be shot in a plush bungalow in Pune. Earlier, Shankar decided to show Rajini's abode as an enormous bungalow. Considering the huge budget in erecting a mammoth setting and hiring the furnishings, it was decided to hire a bungalow in Pune owned by a wealthy businessman Avinash Bhosle. The bungalow demands a whopping 3 lakh as rental charges per day and many Hindi movies were shot in the location. |

Sivaji, Shreya and her jail connection
| Shreya has grabbed quite a lot of public attention these days. Her celebrity status has soared to unbelievable levels owing to her part in Sivaji and her being cast opposite Rajini definitely did help a lot. Couple of years ago she could easily have passed off as just another college girl when she made her sidekick appearance in Unakku 18 Enakku 20. These days though, she is all over in news and is actually enjoying the attention that she gets. | ||
| ||
| Jokes apart, Shreya naively stated that she had never seen a jail in her entire life, not even a set of a jail. Well, she has seen one now. We are sure that was never in her wish list though. |

It is a classic clash between Asin, Trisha and Nayantara
It is a classic clash in Kollywood between the reigning queens- Asin, Trisha and Nayantara to be Rajnikanth’s item girl for Sivaji! Shankar in a hush-hush operation had approached all the three girls to do this item number with the superstar which is also his introductory song.
Trisha who is shooting for Selvaraghavan’s Telugu film in Hyderabad is reported to have politely refused as her biggest ambition is to be Rajni’s heroine in one of his future projects.
That leaves Asin and Nayantara in the race. The peppy fast number tuned by A.R.Rahman was played to both the actresses and the girls are very keen to shake a leg with the ultimate superstar of Indian cinema.
And according to industry buzz, Sivaji will open with this song and the audience are sure going to go ga-ga over this number.
Remember that some years back Shankar had picturised “Urvasi.,..Urvasi…” song from Kathalan as the opening scene and in Boys four minutes after the film starts, there was that hit number Enakkoru Boyfriend Venama...
Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.
And the director in an interview was quoted saying that “it is always the first song in the film that captures the attention of the viewers”.
There were some reports that there will not be an introductory song sequence for Rajnikanth in Sivaji. However, Rajnikanth without an introductory song is like “Idly without Sambar”!
It seems Shankar and Rahman finally sat together to work on this mind-blowing opening song which is sure to top the charts. And the heroine who does this number with Rajni is sure to get a tremendous reach with the masses.
How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.
Nayantara who already shares a great rapport with the superstar seems to be the front runner as the pair was a hit in Chandramukhi. But Asin is not far behind as she wants to be a part of a landmark film called Sivaji at any cost!

Did we not tell you about the talks that were being carried out by Shankar to rope Amitabh in for Sivaji? Seems like the talks were fruitful and Amitabh has flown down from Mumbai to finish the shoots with Rajini in a Juvenile home in Chengalpattu. | ||

He advised them to have a positive attitude towards life quoting some of the juvenile kids who made it big in their life. He wished them all luck with their future.

Cop interrupts Sivaji shoot
Rajini's Sivaji suffered a minor setback and the shoots were
halted for a while owing to the confusion created by a cop. Sivaji is
progressing in and around Chennai city and the crew is busy shooting
vital parts of the movie with junior artistes in huge numbers in prominent
locations. Recently, Pulianthope had been the venue for the shoots and
scenes of Rajini being arrested by a cop were canned.
The crew is now busy shooting in a high school in the vicinity of
Pachayappas College. When the shoots were progressing with Rajini and
300 other junior artistes, a cop appeared and demanded for the
cancellation of shoots. The inspector stated that no permission has been obtained
by the crew for conducting shoots in the school. When the crew members
informed that prior permission had been obtained, the obstinate cop
insisted that the go-ahead should have been obtained from the Police
Commissioner Office.
This led to confusion among the crew and they exchanged verbal row with
the cop. After a while, Senior Police Officials were informed and the
chaos came to an end when the cop left the place. The shoots were
resumed afterwards.
Sivaji, being Rajini's venture after Chandramukhi has
created huge expectations among the public due to numerous factors such as
Shankar, Rajini's pepped up new look, Rahman's music, and Shreya. The
mega movie is slated for an early 2007 release and is expected to break
all the box office records that Chandramukhi created.
