CinemaFrom Kaala cakes to cocktails, here's how Chennai is gearing up for the release.Anjana ShekarThe release of a Rajinikanth film is nothing short of a festival in Tamil Nadu. While paal abishegam (the act of pouring milk) on huge cut-outs of the star and bursting crackers is the norm, a few fans are celebrating the film’s release in their own special way. There’s Kaala merchandise, Kaala cake and a Kaala mocktail, and the list keeps growing. For Raana, a die-hard Rajini fan, the plan was put in place several weeks ago. He and 150 of his friends will flood theatres in the city wearing their custom-made Kaala t-shirts. “We make sure we’ve got the t-shirts printed and ready before every release. This time, we’ve also ordered for a 70 kg cake to celebrate the release,” he says. “Paal abishegam and crackers are part of our usual celebrations,” he adds, nonchalantly. Speaking of cakes, Chennai’s Ck’s Bakery has a limited edition Kaala cake, complete with the film’s first look poster on edible sugar paper. The choco-mocha cake is an all-black chocolate and coffee flavoured pastry and sold like, well… like hot cakes! “Even though our marketing was very minimal, we sold 70 cakes in just 24 hours. With its success, we’ve planned to extend this limited edition for a few days longer than we originally intended,” says Arjun, who works with the team. The cakes are also priced at an affordable Rs 333 per for half a kilo, and can be bought from any Ck's bakery outlet. Lokesh and Karthik, bar manager and operations manager at the Wire Room, Chennai, have taken the Kaala craze a step higher. These self-confessed Rajinikanth fans have concocted a special Kaala mocktail/cocktail to quench Chennai’s thirst. “We’ve got two versions - the Kaala mocktail comes with pineapple, karupatti (black jaggery), lime and sugar syrup. The cocktail has gin in it,” says Lokesh. The newly launched lounge bar also has a number of other Madras-themed drinks to choose from that are flavoured with planeer soda, nannari sherbet, etc. The Kaala mocktail is priced at 250 and cocktail at Rs 600. Launched on April 23, they’ve sold close to 600 glasses so far. Rajinikanth being a part of pop culture in Japan is a well-known tale. The star’s 1998 film Muthu, called Dancing Maharaja in Japanese, was a phenomenal success that ran for 23 weeks, grossed $1.6 million, and created a strong fan base in the country. It is estimated that Rajini has close to 3000 fans in Tokyo alone! While the film’s release date in Japan is not known yet, it has not stopped two die-hard Japanese fans from flying down to Chennai to catch the first-day-first-show of the film. In a video posted on Kasi theatre’s Twitter page, two Japanese fans - Yasuda and Satsuki - are seen standing in front of Kaala’s poster. One of them is even seen delivering the famed “kya re? setting ah?” dialogue with much swag! We have Thalaivar fans #Yasuda & #Satsuki who have travelled all the way from #Japan to #Chennai to enjoy #Kaala #Fdfs @kasi_theatre .

Chennai, Oct 6: Some call it coincidence, but every time S.P. Balasubramanyam (Spb) has crooned the title track of a Rajinikanth-starrer, the song as well as the film have turned out to be a blockbuster. Now all eyes are set on the superstar's "Kochadaiiyaan".

The song from the movie is slated to release Monday.

"The song 'Engae pogudho vaanam' crooned by Spb, lyrics by Vairamuthu and music by A.R. Rahman will be released online tomorrow (Monday)," posted Sony Music on its Twitter page.

Over the years, Spb has crooned the title track for Rajinikanth's Tamil films such as "Baasha", "Muthu", "Arunachalam", "Padayappa", "Chandramukhi", "Sivaji" and "Enthiran". All the films were blockbusters.

Latest box-office reports from Japan indicate that the film has collected over 100 million in its first two weeks to become the top ranking Hindi film ever in Japan, in terms of collections. The last Indian film to strike a similar chord with the Japanese audience was the 1995 Rajnikant starrer Muthu. 3 Idiots is still running in the cinemas in Japan and is o...

Tokyo, Mar h 31: In the 1990s, one of the most popular foreign movie stars in Japan was an Indian actor named Rajinikanth, whose movies were pure "masala" cinema with an enthusiastic mix of action, comedy, romance, melodrama and music that made no concession to anything but the will to entertain.

Kyoko Dan, a Kobe-based movie publicist who works with Asian producers said that in Japan, Rajinikanth's 1995 film 'Muthu, Dancing Maharajah' was a big phenomenon and so when the country people hear about Indian films many think of 'Muthu,' the Japan Times reported.

According to Avtar Panesar, vice president of international operations for.

“For his fans, Rajinikanth is God, and for the world, he is a cultural phenomenon transcending the trappings of a mere movie star. Not bad for a man who began his professional life as a humble coolie and went on to work as a modest bus conductor before he became one of the most famous people on the planet and an Internet meme.” From ‘Rajinikanth – The Definitive Biography’

The above quote is taken from Naman Ramachandran’s new book about the life of one of the biggest film stars in the world. Rajinikanth – The Definitive Biography takes a look at the actor’s career from his first film Apoorva Ragangal (1975) and follows the rise of Rajinikanth to superstardom. Ramchandran covers all of Rajinikanth’s 154 films in depth, including landmark films like Sivaji and Enthiran to his most recent film Kochidayaan. Not simply a book that takes a look at films and his career,...

Superstar Fever is tearing its way through the land of the rising sun!Few people know about the underground cult that has built around Tamil juggernaut, Superstar Rajnikanth in Japan. Beginning with the surprise success of his 1995 film, Muthu, Japanese film fans have latched onto India's biggest superstar in a crazy way! Earlier this year I posted about the Japanese release of Rajnikanth's 2010 masterpiece (and my top film of that year), Enthiran or Robot. Well, it appears that was a success because the distributors are jumping back into Rajni's oeuvre and bringing another one of his most exciting films to Japan, 2007's Sivaji - The Boss.Sivaji is the film that made me fall in love with Superstar Rajnikanth and south Indian cinema in general....

A fact that is little known in the west is that Superstar Rajnikanth, the biggest movie star in India, is something of an icon in the land of the rising sun. That's right, since the Japanese release of his film Muthu in 1998, Rajni has had quite the following in Japan, where there are dozens of fan clubs all over the place.As a result, Superstar's last film, the megahit record breaker Enthiran (Robot) recently enjoyed a Japanese Cinema release. The article in the links below from The Japanalyst states that the film did pretty well at the box office, though I've had a hard time corroborating that information. However, whether or not the film's box office numbers are up to snuff or not became irrelevant...

It’s that time again as the formidable force that is Rajnikanth starts his mayhem on his fans all over the world. After the massively successful, Endhiran/Robot, the Superstar of the south has began his next project with Dasavatharam director K.S.Ravikumar. The combination of this director-actor has seen smash hit films like Muthu and Padaiyappa previously and it amidst high expectations as both K.S.Ravikumar and Rajnikanth both seen success with Manmadhan Ambu and Endhiran respectively and are aiming for a third bang-on-the-dot blockbuster. But what does this have to do with our dancing diva, the Madhuri Dixit? The lovely lady is the latest to be approached for an important role in Rajnikanth’s new film, titled Rana. However, it seems she has politely declined.

As usual speculations about the reasons why she has said no have started. Rajnikanth is supposedly to be seen in three...
