Just now I was watching CNNindia's programme on the topic who is big super star?Whether it is Rajni Kanth of Tamil cinema or Amitabh Bachan of Hindi cinema?I think comparisons are the norms now a days.When Abhishek Bachan married Aiswarya Rai and Sharukh Khan was not invited for the wedding it also invited one comparison.Whether Sharukh was left out intentionally or not?
Here also the comparison has no common ground.Rajni Kanth is a regional language hero and has his own style of acting.Amitabh being an actor in Hindi which has wider area coverage is an actor of a different caliber.By the way both have acted together in "Hum".
I sometimes feel that if media has nothing to say it rakes up issues.While the pro gramme was on there was a break in coverage as the Woolmer case was broadcast.I really thought there must have been some trouble in the country about the comparison and hence it had been taken off the telecast.:).Fortunately it was not so and the telecast had continued.Also sometimes the media is asking for their views from people who are not exposed to both the actors.What sort of decision or opinion can be got when the media asked two persons who have not seen Rajni at all in cinema?The "screen"editor said from her reading of Rajni and the other person asked was a fan of Amitabh!
If only they have asked me I would have said the correct standing.:)My vote goes to Rajni Kanth as a pucca super star.No one can imitate his style.Mind you I never used to like either of them initially.So views have been matured over time.
Both have interesting scenes etched in my mind that are comic.Rajni's scene viewing the snake peeping through a hole in that movie"Thambikku Entha Ooru',is equal to Amitabh singing"Paan Banaraswala".Anyway let me forgive the media as it is not worth the while to discuss this issue at all.I have discussed it here for a change too.:)
Jayamala.
