INTERVIEW with RAJNIKANTH - ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR 2007






The one and only boss, SuperStar RAJNIKANTH was named NDTV'S Entertainer of the Year-2007 in a glittering function held at Taj Palace, NEW DELHI.

Several Questions were posed to him during the function and the following is the text commentary of the series of questions that were posed to him and RAJNIKANTH’s Reply for them.

QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED TO SUPERSTAR.

1) It is said that you are highest paid actor in the country.

RAJNIKANTH: Is it? Who said? (Laughs….)
The commentators pull his leg by commenting: Don't tell this because finance minister is here. (The whole hall burst into laughter)
2) Do you think that South Indian films are given importance nowadays? There is a common thought that Indian cinema means it is only Bollywood.

RAJNIKANTH: Yes. South Indian films are given importance and its technicians too. Thanks to media and you people for that.
3) What about the one thing that everyone is trying to get answer from you but still inaccessible. Yes, Politics? When you are going to enter into politics directly?

(Rajni just turns his face towards Dr.Manmohan Singh and sees him for a while and replies).

It is purely with God's hand. Day before yesterday I don't know that I will be here today and tomorrow I don't know where will be I am. God has given me a role that of an actor today. When given a role that of politician tomorrow, I will do that surely. (Prime Minister must have enjoyed the answer)
4) So you are not ruling out the possibility?

RAJNIKANTH: I told you that its destiny. (He laughs)

(At this time, Pranoy Roy asks the audiences to shoot the questions. (Audiences here are prominent personalities like Piranha Gandhi, Rachel Gandhi, Makes Amana, P Chidambaram, Karan Johar, Shah Rukh and other eminent personalities.)

(Karan Johar now shoots his question against Rajnikanth).

5) Is there anything that Rajini can't?

(An unexpected question!! It surprised everyone there and Rajnikanth is no exception to it. He taught for a while and laughed. Nothing else one can do in a LIVE Show.).
6) Whom do you think the best actor from Bollywood?

7) SHAH RUKH KHAN: “Sir, pls tell me how to become myself Shahenshah of Bollywood?”. (He was in a mood that he had asked an intelligent question which is difficult to answer)
( An intelligent question indeed!!!)

RAJNIKANTH: One day you will become Shahenshah. God bless you. (One of the Best Answers from the SUPERSTAR)
(Pranoy Roy asks RAJNIKANTH)
Do you have anything to say for Sharukh?

RAJNIKANTH: He is an excellent actor. And I liked very much his integrity. I saw his sports film Chak de. I wanted to do roles like that.
(Shah Rukh interprets : “So, you are praising my sport skills alone. Not acting skills”. (The hall bursts into laughter and Shah Rukh thanks Superstar for attending the event)

NDTV: You rarely come out of Chennai. And they say if you step out of your car, the traffic there comes to a stand still.

RAJNIKANTH: No…no….it's not like that. It is you - media - only giving such reports.

(My heartiest congratulations to AR Rahman and Viswanathan Anand who also bagged the NDTV- INDIAN OF THE YEAR 2007 award along with RAJNIKANTH. Hats off to the three Tamizhans who made Tamil and Tamil Nadu proud).
