His name is spelt and pronounced as "Rajini", neither Rajni nor Rajani . He may not be God, neverbefore was any Superstar of his kind and there never will be anyone again.

The bottomline is it doesn't matter if others don't get Rajini, I know he will never be anointed among the ranks of the greatest actors ever, still he is a Tamil experience , and to be identified as his fan gives us the greatest pleasure.

Also, the northies always liked south Indian actresses better, and they do seem to have color issues.

I don't get it. Whats the point? Where does northie-southie come in? My request is, don't think on these lines. We are all Indians.
We knew several actors characters in and our of films. But Rajani never belongs to that CADER,he is a good actor and an Excellent Human Being Outside. True Nature is shown in Actions they do.

Rajni has been what he is not only because he is a good actor but a genuinely excellent human being.
Do not look at his face or his color and decide what he is. Personal worth is much more than looks. Indian who have been conquered and discreminiated for centuries should understand that.
RE:Rajni is good human being...
by mahesh on Apr 04, 2007 11:32 AM
we should look towards his looks also because he is in film industry where we look for heros not cartoons
Rajini is uncomparable....hey nonsense pradeep...probably you neither been in tamilnadu nor knowledge of tamil industry...don't talk about our superstar...he is ever winning,uncomparable star compared to anyone (including big B)... atleast one in any house in tamilnadu become rajini fan...better visit www.rajinifans.com...
Rajni started as a small time villain in Kannada movies and did not find great success. His struggles continued till he found success in Tamil films and never looked back. Personally I find Kamal Hassan a much better actor than Rajni. Rajni has this larger than life-savior-of-the-masses image and he capitalises very much on this image. Ofcourse this is no mean acheivement. He has gotten away with some ridiculous stunts. He could not acheive much success in Hindi films though. I dont know much about his real life nature.

Nowhere in the article did anyone mention that Rajini is a God. Such comments would trigger an unnecessary argument with ardent fans of Rajini. It is better to try to stick to the topic.

All hindi movies are remakes of either Hollywood or South Movies.
Directors like Karan Johar camp in London and New York Hotels for 6 months, watching score of English and foreign movies and comeup with a script which is a mish mash of palagarized movies.

For ur kind info..Rajini never acted in Kannada films in his intial days.I'm from AP and i niether support anyone.But as far as i know(it's true) Rajini never acted in Kannada films in his early days.And as far as stunts are concerned,which stunts are real man..Any stunt in any movie is a fake thing.So,Don't talk abt stunts.Mannnnn...Also some people are talking abt his face,color and all...I have done my bachelors in B'lore and i have watched some kannada movies...If the matter of color is concerned i think some kannada actors also of the same color,face and type...and even telugu actors also. If u want to choose the best faces in any south indian film industry,u can hardly get 3 or 4 faces from each industry.Even Rajkumar,Sivarajkumar,jaggesh,ambarish from kannada films,rajini,vijayakanth from tamil,ANR,balakrishna,Allu Arjun from telugu aren't having great personalities or color,but can we say tht they r not best actors.So, color is not an issue at all.Some are saying tht kannada films r best and unique.I won't agree at all..Most of them are remakes of other languages...Even i can appreciate tht they also made some straight grt movies which were remade in other languages like OM,Jogi,Janumada jodi,A etc. So wht i want to say is each n everyone is great in their own right.So don't indulge in some other matters other thn Art.If u don't like thm leave it.Why to specifically choose one particular person.
If u r referring rajini as Cartoon,just think in this way...if the other guy refer ur superstar(who died recently) as a cartoon...Howmuch the fans of the deceased superstar will hurt.So, we indians don't have any right to hurt some others feelings..Be Practical man...Let keep ur thoughts abt the other actors in ur mind and praise him,if he has done anything good to the art or soceity or else keep mum.
