We all eagerly wait to know what happened in Malaysia during the release of Endhiran Audio. Yes we are interested to know what happened on stage and who spoke what. But when the man of the occasion is the Endhiran himself, we certainly cannot hide our excitement to know what the legend had to say about the movie. Vivek introduced Rajini with a rap which goes like A to the B to the C to the D.... Ivar udambile odurathu electricity, ithanai irunthum simplicity, athu thaan Rajiniyin spirituality. The Endhiranin Mandhiran (as described by Vivek) took center stage and started "Ella Pughazhum Iraivanukke" with tremendous applause from those in the auditorium. Before anything, Rajini was all appreciative about the Malaysian fans who were patiently waiting to see "Endhiran the mass" speak.
Identifying the four main stars of the function, Mr. Kalanidhi Maran, Director Shankar, AR Rahman and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rajini thanked Simbhu, Jeyam Ravi, Sivasakthi Pandian, Ramya Krishnan, Radha Ravi, Vadivelu who flew to Malaysia on invitation. Describing Endhiran as a landmark movie, he said "Even if movies are made with 1000 Crores in the future, which I feel is a possibility, this science fiction movie is definitely the first of its kind." He also mentioned that this is the first time in India a movie of this kind has been made in Hollywood standards with technicians from Hollywood itself. Kalanidhi Maran's foresight
Heaping praises on the producer Kalanithi Maran, Rajini recalled his initial conversations with Mr. Maran. He said that Mr. Maran was not even interested in knowing the story when he knew Rajini was acting but checked the collections of Rajini's previous movie "Sivaji" before okaying the budget. Thanking his presence in the audio release, the superstar said in a confirmed voice that Mr. Maran would be India's top industrialist before he retires.Shankar, the wild horse
"Shankar is a wild horse which will definitely reach its destination but we have to stick tight so that we don’t fall behind", Rajini ought to have told Mr. Maran before the start of the movie. Rajini said he has nothing to be proud of in Endhiran as it was Shankar calling the shots right from the word go. "Usually I add some of my masala, punch dialogues and mannerisms in my movies but couldn’t do that in Endhiran as Shankar had already thought about my dialogues and mannerisms. I just had to work hard." Describing Shankar as the only director who can manage such a star studded technical crew and cast, Rajini said he has the potential to direct a Hollywood movie and make Tamils proud. Rajini khabardar
"She is not an ordinary girl, she is not an ordinary artist," was Rajini's certificate for Aishwayra. Terming her as the beauty with brains, Rajini proclaimed that there is no Miss World or a beauty queen in our generation other than Aishwarya Rai though there have been many in the past and will be in the future also. He revealed that Ash takes nearly 1.5 hours to deglamourise herself but she looks stunning and more beautiful without makeup. Acknowledging her as a true artist Rajini said he felt a little delicate doing romantic scenes with Ash and always felt Amitabh Bachchan was somewhere near saying "Rajini... Khabardar!!! But somehow managed to do it" which made everyone laugh out of their lungs. Rahman, the Yogi
Pointing out the three important qualities to be a Mahaan or a Yogi, Rajini said AR Rahman does not have even a bit of ego. He added that the egoless Rahman always treads the path of love and always believes in the philosophy "Ella Pughazhum Iraivanukke". "So these three qualities make him a Siddha... a Mahaan," he said. To the amusement of the fans, he also added that Yogis need not be in the Himalayas with saffron clothing, they can be in jeans, wearing coats or drinking wine too. He candidly said we are blessed to have the great Rahman amongst us.
Rajini also thanked the efforts of Vairamuthu, Randy (Rathnavelu, the cinematographer), Banu (makeup) and everyone associated with the film and admitted that the success of the movie is theirs and not his. Rajini was a little philosophical in the end saying success doesn’t always stay and one must come down from the top to taste the other side of life as well. The applause brought down the roof of the Convention Center in Malaysia. Did you hear the applause folks?
