Rajini & Hindi Films

Once he agreed in an interview that he had entered into Bollywood after seeing the huge success of Kamalhaasan's "Ek Tuje Ke Liye". Luckily, he got an good introduction by the Bollywood Super Star Amitabh. "Andha Kanoon" was his first hindi venture and it reached silver jubilee. The fact is, the Bollywood career of Kamal & Rajni couldn't be comparable. Kamal's direct hindi films will be only 8-10 whereas Super Star did atmost 25 direct films in Hindi. In most of the he did only supporting character. Actually he enjoyed to do it...

Kamal made a big wave in Bollywood within 4,5 films. The success of Giraftar is really a turning point to Super Star but not to Kamal. For an die-hard fan of Super Star never like to watch his hindi movies. Super Star doesn't create a image cirlce in Bollywood. I think, no actor have tried like this.


Though there are so many criticisms regarding his acting, the media never tried to discourage him. I would like to refer the review of Super Star's recent hindi film - Bulandi.

"Rajinikant, who makes a spectacular special appearance in the film, steals the show. The film perks up as soon as he enters the scene. His mannerisms -- the way he juggles his scarf or throws a cigar in his mouth -- are a treat to watch. There is a scene where Rajinikant accepts the adulation from the crowd and Anil Kapoor stands near him. One actually tends to forget that Anil is a star in his own right -- so overshadowed is he by the towering presence of Rajini."
