ALL in Kollywood have set their eyes on Rajini’s 'Kuselan,' which releases worldwide today. In Chennai, it will get released officially tomorrow, though a few theatres are having special shows by fans tonight, besides the celebrity premiere that will be held tonight.“Most often, when I see an adaptation of a Malayalam movie, I end up coming out of the theatre disappointed. But that’s not what 'Kuselan' did to me. I was tearful at seeing how well it has been taken,” explained K Balachandar, whose Kavithaalaya Films is producing the movie. Director P Vasu, on the other hand, calls it “a stylish movie in which Rajini looks younger than in his previous films.”
To many Rajini fans, it is a treat to watch the Superstar not just in one, but as many as 20 different looks. 'Kuselan' is the story of friendship between a barber and his Superstar friend years after they meet when the actor comes to the barber’s town. The movie is being simultaneously released in Telugu as 'Kathanayakadu.'
Touted to be his career best performance, Pasupathy plays the barber and Meena his wife. Nayanthara, appearing as herself, has been a new addition to the movie from the Malayalam original, 'Kadha Parayumbhol.'
Rajini’s fame, which has transcended India and has won him fans in Japan as well, is expected to go one notch higher with Kuselan. For the first time, large cut outs and banners of the movie have been shipped to America.
With the Superstar himself announcing at the audio launch that he is scared of all the hype he has been generating, all focus is now on seeing if these acquisitions will prove profitable for the parties concerned. And with the movie getting released now, it will be clear if Rajini, even in a special appearance, will reiterate his position as the boss of the box office.
