Another thing, there is always an uncanny way in which
different versions of the story of a Shankar movie find
their way into the press. There were umpteen versions
of Anniyan’s story doing the rounds until the movie
released and proved nearly all of them wrong. In this
context, it is hard to believe anything that you hear
about Sivaji’s story.
But then, it is a Superstar movie and who wouldn’t
want to know even the smallest detail about it. The style,
the action, the punch dialogues and the Superstar phenomenon
unleashing itself on the screen frame after frame. Three
hours of unabated thrill, excitement, cheers and a two
year long wait attaining fulfillment. For the Rajni fan
this is nothing short of Nirvana; salvation. So, for those
of you who are dying to know what your idol (sorry, our
idol) will be doing on screen this time round we have
something. It is not exactly a rumor as Sivaji has already
been screened to a select audience but it is not straight
from the horse’s mouth either. This is what you
may see on screen from June 15th (if Shankar does not
get any further ideas of improvisation). So read and imagine
how Superstar will parade his majesty on the big screen,
deliver the dialogues with peerless style and enthrall
us all. Please don’t bridle your imagination if
you want to enjoy this.
Sivaji is this rich man to begin with, trying to take
education beyond just the rich people into the poor
but deserving population. He opposes bribery, corruption
and all the vices that plague the system (please keep
imagining the Superstar doing these things). He makes
enemies, as will anyone who tries to do any good to
the society. The enemies hatch a plot and decide to
get Superstar out of their way. The plan nearly succeeds
but Sivaji survives and escapes to the United States
(living to fight another day) where he gathers his forces
and plans his comeback; in style. When he comes back
he is not the same man who left India, his head is shaved
and he now has a deadly killer look about him, after
all he is out to destroy those who conspired against
him. At a certain point in the film one of his adversaries
(possibly unable to identify him in his new get up)
asks him (now imagine clearly the Superstar on the big
screen) ‘Who are you’?---------- ‘
Naan M.G.Ramachandran’ comes the reply.
Take our word; this scene will make fans go crazy, three
generations will break into frenzy in unison as Superstar
introduces himself. Sivaji-The Boss, please release
soon, this wait is getting too much for us.
