Whenever a film in any language becomes a super hit, our superstar Rajnikanth makes it a point to watch it. Rajni's biggest hobby is to watch super hits especially if they are in Tamil and analyze the reason for its commercial success.
There is nobody in Indian cinema who understands the nuances of
commercial cinema as much as Rajnikanth. He knows exactly what worked in its favour with the audience- the sentiments, the punchline, or a particular song etc after seeing it.
No wonder Rajnikanth is a superstar! He can gauge the feeling of an
ordinary person to a mass film. And he never gets bored watching
cinema of any kind. Added to that he is one actor, who has no qualms
of saying that he watches all kinds of movies, unlike some actors who
boast that they don't watch other’s films!
So, when Rajnikanth comes to know that a film is doing well, he expresses a
desire to see it. Normally the producer or the star of the film
immediately calls up Kalyanam, Manager of ‘Four Frames’ preview theatre
and arranges a show.
Kalyanam, knows that Rajni prefers the small screen 90 seater `Screen 2` at
`Four Frames`. He immediately blocks it for the evening show. And at
6.30 pm sharp (you can correct your watch), Rajnikanth and his family
will be seated . And you hear Kalyanam yelling out to the operator
–"Start"! Kalyanam also sees to it, that nobody else is in the theatre
or even in the lobby, when the superstar is watching a film.
Latha Rajnikanth brings all the snacks and refreshments from home.
After the movie, Rajnikanth comes down by the lift and waves to the
crowd outside who has gathered and jumps in to his car and disappears.
Later on reaching home, he will call up the star or the producer
concerned and chat up with them on the finer points of the film.
On Wednesday(Feb 28), taking time of his busy schedule, Rajnikanth
accompanied by wife Latha and his daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya
watched Paruthiveeran at Four Frames. Surya, Karthi and Gjanavel of ‘Studio Greens’ were present at the theatre to play perfect hosts to the superstar and family. Later he told Karthi- “It was fantastic and I could not believe that it is your first film”. And today (Mar 1) superstar has promised Sibiraj that he will find time to watch Lee.
