Bhuvana Oru Kelvikuri

 In 1977, Rajini acted in 17 films were some of the key films: Avargal, 16 Vayathiniley, Bhuvana

Oru Kelvikkuri changed the course of his career. This was the year, Rajini acted in a lead role in

Telugu film Chilakkamma Cheppindi got big offers in Kannada and turned to do a positive role

with Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri. Seeing the change in Rajini's acceptance in a positive role by the

audience, took the entire industry by surprise. SP Muthuraman & Panchu Arunachalam who

took the bold step became more confident and started to see Rajini as star-in-the-making.

Leading hero Sivakumar did the anti-hero role & upcoming crazy villain Rajini did the positive

role!

                    


Panchu Arunachalam and SP Muthuraman initially wanted to cast Rajini for a small role in

Avalukku Oru Aasai but after seeing Rajini first time coming in a scooter with his casual speed,

they found something attractive & decided to cast him in a full-length role film!

This was the first association of Rajini with director SP Muthuraman. This was the first major

role of Rajini was doing outside KB camp, where Rajini got tensed seeing the lengthy dialogues

he was given in the shooting against the limited dialogues during the KB film shoot!!!

This is 1 of the films in Rajini's career which got an A certificate due to bold content!

Baasha - Tamil Cinema's Ultimate Gangster Film

Image
  Rajini's career can be divided into two parts. Apoorva Raagangal to Veera and Baasha to Annaatthe! None of us including Rajini would have imagined that one film would change his life and career upside down forever after the release of Baasha. How much ever you discuss Baasha you just keep revisiting and we just can't decode its success. Some films just are meant to be immortal and Baasha is one such film in Indian film history. Let's get back to the journey of how the film started and where it has ended today! Rajini acted in Hindi film Hum alongside Amitabh Bachchan as his younger brother and with Govinda. One deleted scene in Hum between Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda impressed Rajini so much to the extent of seeing an altogether new film can be done. It was in his mind for a long time. Rajini's current PRO Riaz Ahmed once met Thalaivar in Mumbai and Rajini shared about how he wanted to do Hum in Tamil with Prabhu and Karthik playing his brothers which didn't happ...

Sri Raghavendra - Superstar's Devotional Landmark

Image
1985 was the landmark year for Rajini as he completed 100 films in 10 years from his debut in 1975. Rajini took a bold decision to do a religious movie for his 100th film. Rajini, being Kannada legendary hero Rajkumar fan, had seen his Kannada film Mantralaya Mahime where Rajkumar portrayed Sri Raghavendra. Rajini persuaded K Balachander and SP Muthuraman to do the film. The film was done with a lot of conviction and discipline. None of the crew had non-vegetarian food and some even observed fast on Thursdays in reverence to the Lord's presence. The movie got an immense craze as Mohan also did a role in the film. Doing it with a lot of hard work, the audience and fans rejected it as 'Thalaivar' was beyond religion and there were no fights, duets, or masala scenes. Though sections of the audience were amazed at Rajini's resemblance to the holy saint. The one person who was happy with Rajini's performance was Rajkumar, who called him and said you have done justice to ...

Panakkaran - The Golden Decade of 90's Rajini!

Image
 Rajini began the 80's decade with blockbuster Billa and ended with blockbuster Mappillai. Same the way in 90's decade Panakkaran was Rajini's first release becoming a blockbuster and ending with gigantic blockbuster Padayappa! Panakkaran was a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Lawaaris and remade in Telugu as Naa Desam with NTR! Later in Tamil as Panakkaran. The Telugu version had a lot of changes as the makers changed the story to make it a political film to boost the NTR political party launch during that time! Panakkaran was the first collaboration between Rajini and director P Vasu! Later on, P Vasu directed Mannan Uzhaippali Chandramukhi and Kuselan with Rajini! P Vasu was a hotshot commercial director churning out hits in Tamil and Kannada during that time! In Tamil is mainly known for his combo with Sathyaraj and Prabhu! Lawaaris was a 3 hrs long film in Hindi but P Vasu did good changes in Tamil keeping the length short to max 2 and half hours being faithful to the ...
