Rajinikanth in appreciation of Paa

Tamil superstar Rajnikant was extremely impressed with Amitabh Bachchan's performance in 'Paa'. According to him, Big B has set very high standards for actors, by playing a 12-year-old progeria patient convincingly in the movie.

Amitabh Bachchan posted in his blog on Sunday: 'Had a surprise visitor in Rajnikant in my room at the Fariyas (resort, Lonavala). He is shooting for 'Robot' with Aishwarya (Rai) in and around Lonavala and dropped in for a chat. He had seen 'Paa'. I had organised it for him to see it at a private theatre in Chennai and he was meeting me for the first time after that. He had wanted to speak immediately after the film got over, but somehow we missed each other.'

Whoever watches Paa, agrees with the fact that it is warmly accepted both by critics and audiences alike. 'Rajni was exuberant this morning. And we spoke for more than an hour about 'Paa'. He said we are all upset after seeing the film, not so much because of the content and its emotional quotient, but because now that 'you have done this, what are we going to do',' wrote the 67-year-old.

Endhiran shooting at Vellore

The big budget sci-fi movie Endhiran is being shot in various parts of the world. Coming back to the country, Aishwarya and Rajinikanth had a shooting scheduled at Vellore from the 25th to the 29th of December. The shooting is at the Technology Tower in the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT). They made sure that nobody gets a glimpse of the shooting. They had the shooting at this time of the year, as most of the students of the university are away during their holidays. Meeting Ash or Rajini is out of question.

After shooting in Vellore, they will be off to Chennai and will shoot a major part of the film there. Shankar’s Endhiran is estimated to be the costliest movie made so far in India. This sci-fi thriller will be ready for release mid 2009.
