12Dec09

It is official; Rajini will not be in town on his 60th birthday. A huge dampener for the fans no doubt, but that is the way it is going to be. After all, the thorough professional that he is, Rajini wouldn’t mess up the shooting schedules of Endhiran, whatever may be the occasion. So, he will be on the sets of Endhiran in Pune while his fans celebrate the big day in trademark style, which will involve welfare activities like blood donation camps and civic activities like planting of trees, cleaning of roads and many other such services.

While it will be business as usual on the sets of Endhiran, the unit will definitely find time to celebrate the big occasion in the presence of the man himself.

Ban on Goa!

01Dec09

Goa directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth’s Ocher Studios is in troubled waters. Soundarya Rajinikanth has borrowed money from Varun Maniyan, a building contractor to a tune of Rs 1.60 crore, of which Rs 1.10 crore was given from office funds and the remaining Rs 50 lakh was drawn from his personal funds. The interest rate is said to be 24 percent.

A promissory note has been signed by Soundarya Rajinikanth at the time of taking the loan, but Varun is not happy with it and wanted her to sign a loan bond. Though Soundarya agreed to it initially, she was delaying the whole process, He says in his petition to the court. With the film in its final stages, gearing up for a Pongal release, Varun feels that he cannot collect his money if the film is released and this has forced the contractor to file a case against Ocher Studios.

Now the court has given a stay order stating that all the film (Goa) related activities should be stopped till December 11.
