Rajini is an amazing man: Aishwarya Rai

Just back from Peru after shooting for 'Endhiran' with Rajini, Aishwarya Rai participated in the premiere of husband Abhishek Bachchan's film 'Drona.'

Everyone is eager to know about Aish's experiences of acting with Rajini. Talking to a private TV channel, the former world beauty was all praises for Rajini.

"Rajini is a family friend. We all have a great deal of respect for him. His simplicity when shooting for 'Endhiran' has me in awe. It is difficult to find a modest person like Rajini in this ostentatious film world. He does not put on the airs of a super star and moves freely with everyone. He seems an amazing man to me.

Only the first schedule shooting of 'Endhiran' has been completed. As shooting progresses, I'm sure to learn more about him," gushed Aishwarya Rai.

She also said that she accepted to act in the film because she liked the story.

Kalabhavan Mani in 'Endhiran'

The second schedule of 'Endhiran' shooting is taking place at Goa.

Despite shooting at Peru amidst tight security, photos made their way into the media following which Shankar fired 3 assistants. Goa is within India and how Shankar is going to prevent stills from leaking out to the press is a big question.

Security has been tightened as well as measures taken to see that cell phone pics are not taken. VMC Hanifa and Kalabhavan Mani will also shoot with Rajini. It's said Rajini and Aishwarya Rai scenes are also to be shot here.

A separate security force is being arranged to control fan crowds.

Music is by A R Rehman and cinematography by Rathnavelu. He wields the camera for the first time for a Shankar film.

Will Rajinikanth enter politics?

After painting Coimbatore red with wall-posters heralding the entry of actor Rajinikanth into politics, his fans in Kovai on Monday launched a political party in an attempt 'to put pressure' on the 'Superstar' to take the political plunge.

Announcing the party's name as Desiya Dravidar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (DDMMK), they also released the party flag in red, white and black - featuring Rajini's face inside a shining star.

About the new outfit and flag, Rajni Babu, who is a councillor in Madukkarai says that the party had been launched only to impose pressure on their hero to foray politics. We have made this flag and outfit to represent ourselves in the world of politics and wish our leader to make his announcement soon.

Sources close to the actor said, "Rajini was scheduled to discuss the issue of entering politics and starting a party with his fans from 12th to 18th October."

The meeting will take place amid expectations by his fans that he will follow the footsteps of Chiranjeevi, says one of his close friends.

Aishwarya rai admires Rajini

Aishwarya Rai, who is working with Rajinikanth for 'Endhiran' can't stop gushing about the actor.

'It was great working with Rajinikanth, who is a brilliant actor. The only tough thing about the movie was studying Tamil again in order to pronounce the words properly,' she said.

'Robot' directed by Shankar brings together Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai for the first time. A couple of song sequences were shot recently in Peru.

Says Aishwarya," Shankar had approached me previously to work with him, but could not be materialized. Finally, everything landed in place and here we are together after ten years." 

Other than this, the actress will soon start acting for Mani Ratnam's 'Ravana' with her husband Abhishek Bachchan.

"I don't want to reveal much about it but in another 10 days, we will start shooting for the movie. I am looking forward to working again with Mani," she added in an interview to a news agency.

'Endhiran' goes to Goa

Close on the heels of completing a song sequence in Peru and USA, the 'Endhiran' crew including Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Rai and director Shankar would go to Goa in the first week of October to shoot for a song and some important stunt sequences.

'Endhiran', a sci-fi film, produced by Ayngaran Internationals and directed by Shankar, started filming last month abroad. The crew returned back last week. Meanwhile, the latest buzz doing rounds is that they would start shooting scenes in Goa.

It may be recalled that Rajinikanth was supposed to meet the office-bearers of his welfare association on 3 October to chalk out his future strategy following a dip in his popularity as predicted by a survey report. It is now being reported that this meet has been postponed to the second week of October once the crew returns from Goa.
