அப்பாடா… கடைசீல ஒரு வழியா தலைவரை ரோபோ ஹிந்தி ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு நிகழ்ச்சில பார்த்துடேங்க. எந்த சேனல்ல காட்டுவாங்கன்னு சேனல்சை மாத்தி மாத்தி பார்த்து கடைசீல எங்க வீட்டு ரிமோட்டே ரிப்பேராகி போச்சுங்க. அந்தளவு இந்த தடவை கடுப்பேத்திட்டாங்க.

இருந்தாலும் கடைசீல ஒரு வழியா NDTV 24×7 ல தலைவர் தரிசனம் கிடைச்சது. தலைவர் இங்க்லீஷ்ல தான் பேசுறார். நடுவுல ஒரு ஹிந்தி பொன்மொழி சொல்லும்போது மொத்த கூட்டமும் கைத்தட்டி ஆரவாரம் செய்யுது. (அனேகமா… ‘யார் யாருக்கு எது எது கிடைக்கும்னு விதிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கோ அது தான் கிடைக்கும்’ அப்படின்னு சொல்லியிருப்பாருன்னு நான் நினைக்கிறேன்.)

இங்கே கொடுத்திருக்குற வீடியோவுல, நிகழ்ச்சியை சில செக்கண்டு தான் காட்டுறாங்க. ஆனா, ஜஸ்ட் தலைவர் என்ன கெட்டப்ல ஹிந்தி பங்க்ஷனுக்கு போயிருக்காருன்னு உங்களுக்கு இது ஒரு அப்டேட். அவ்வளவு தான்.

Amitabh Bachchan is my inspiration: Rajnikanth
Superstar Rajnikanth today said that Amitabh Bachchan is his inspiration and guru.

“He (Amitabh) is my inspiration, role model and guru,” said Rajnikanth after the music release of his upcoming mega budget film Robot in Mumbai tonight.

The music was released by Amitabh Bachchan. While the lyrics are by Swanand Kirkire, the music has been composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman.

The two megastars shared the dais after three years. The last time Rajnikanth was in Mumbai was to show his movie Shivaji to Amitabh.

“We have done films like Andha Kanoon, Giraftar, Hum, and I can never forget the love, affection and care he showered on me,” said the 60-year-old South Indian film legend.

“I have always valued his advise while taking important decisions,” he added.

Regarding Robot, he said he has worked with director Shankar in Shivaji too. But this role was tough and challenging, he said.

Kamal Hassan and Shah Rukh Khan were approached for this role earlier. But I do not know what happened. ‘Dane Dane pe likha hai khane wale ka nam’ (May be, I was destined to get it)”, he said.

Rajnikanth said the film’s budget is about Rs150-160 crore as it was technically very superior. But this alone cannot be the criterion for success.

Citing the superhit Sholay, which will complete 35 years of its release tomorrow, he said it is historic and a megahit film. “It became a hit not because of its budget or multi-star cast. It was successful because of the subject, characters, sentiments and human motions involved,” he added.

Similarly, Robot has an excellent story and characterisation. Mega budget adds to this, he said adding he is extremely pleased and satisfied with the way the movie has turned out.

He said it is the first of its kind sci-fi movie and he is very happy about it.

Responding to Rajni’s comments, Amitabh said the southern star was a true son-of-the-soil.

“I had a long association with Rajni and value him as a friend and colleague. He is truly a son-of the soil who is admired and loved by every Indian,” said Amitabh.

“I admire him because of his tender heart and humility. He is so grounded despite the adulation and fame he has enjoyed throughout his career. Given his humble beginning, Rajni is an example for every Indian. His simplicity, honesty, and down-to-the-earth nature have always impressed me,” he said.

The movie’s director Shankar said that Robot is slated for a September release. The movie is about a scientist who creates a robot which looks exactly like him, he said.

“This is not a Tamil, Telugu or a Hindi film. It is an Indian film because it brings together best creative talent from India and abroad,” he added.
