Mangalore: Thalaiva! Fans swarm airport as Rajinikanth arrives


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore

Mangalore, Aug 13: 'All the Rajini fans...Don't miss the chance...' goes the popular 'Lungi Dance' song from the movie Chennai Express. Well, this certainly was one chance fans of legendary star Rajinikanth did not want to miss.

Tamil films may not be that popular in Mangalore, but when the Thailava of south Indian film industry arrived in the city on Wednesday August 13 after 22 long years, his fans went berserk.

Rajinikanth landed at Mangalore International Airport on Wednesday en route Shimoga where he would be shooting for the movie 'Linga' for the next 21 days.

Humble and simple as ever, Rajinikanth spent over an hour at the airport mingling with airport staff, officials and fans, graciously giving autographs and posing for photos with a smile.

Speaking to the media in Kannada, he said he was on his way to Shimoga to shoot for the movie 'Linga', which may be released in December this year.

He also hinted at a possible plunge into politics in future and said it was god's wish that he becomes the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. He recalled an instance when there had been traffic jam when he was crossing the road, and CM Jayalalithaa too got stuck in the traffic. The police personnel had to then ask him to get into car to clear the jam.

He also said that his health was fine and he felt glad to come to Mangalore after a gap of over two decades.

As his arrival was already known due to the shooting schedule, elaborate arrangements were made at the airport and the officials and police officers received him.

People gathered in hundreds to catch a glimpse of the mega star. Rajinikanth was accompanied by Sandalwood producer and actor Rockline Venkatesh and others.

Meanwhile, Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha too was spotted at the airport. She was on her first visit to the city to shoot for a movie, sources said. However, her arrival was a surprise and she did not interact with the media.

    We'll said Henry. Fact is he may not be a great actor but he is a superstar down to earth. There is no instance recorded that he is arrogant. Just a simple fact, may be very few are aware that he and kamal are the only one never endorsed any advertisement literally meaning don't want to cheat people. Above all these are the two stars who truly believed in just entertaining people.

    Your comments are silly and you have lack of knowledge, Mr. Rajinikanth (Shivaji Rao Gaekuwad) is very popular in the South, he may win election if he contest against any popular leader here, but he is not popular in the Northern states including Gujarath, he was not very successful in Bollywood as the wide audience in Hindi speaking states did not appeal him, he is popular among Japanese audience because of his style and action, which is very much similar to Japanese movies. If he contests against Mr. Modi in Gujarath or UP or any northern states, he will lose.
    Mr. Rajnikanth is humble person, down to earth, but he does not have real acting talent, only his style & action, has been made him popular.

    Mr. Saldanha, you haven't watched his classic movies. I think you prefer to watch only films like Bhasha, Robot and other super human movies.

    Some great souls are really blessed for humility and simplicity.

    But many failed to realize through out their life that humans love natural simplicity.
    In Politics are we see, People loved Vajapayee and AK Anthony, Abdul Kalam for their humility and simplicity.

    Really Rajinikant is a great actor!
