There were many political dialogues written by KB sir for the story, which were construed differently and politicized. This was claimed to be spoken for Jayalalithaa. There is a scene for heroine introduction where an astrologer would say to Rajini, “Very soon, you are going to have problems because of a woman”. There were many dialogues which were written with no political motive, but were interpreted to have had such conjectures by the public. Innocent dialogues, understood differently For the first time, a film of Rajinikanth was released without any poster. So, the film was released with just the paper news. Hence, when the film was being released, there was a special rule by the corporation saying no film posters should not be stuck in any wall in Chennai, just to stop it from getting its mileage. There was a check post at the entrance of Poes Garden, the police questioned him when he was entering to go to his house and then he walked all the way home. Political clash between Rajini and Jayalalithaaīesides all these, there was a political clash going on between Rajinikanth and Jayalalithaa then. So we had a five-minute song to show the hero becoming rich.
People might laugh, but we had to do that as the story was not about how he grew up but what happens after he becomes rich. Another first was a milkman becoming rich in just one song. There would be a special background music for the hero– yaey yaey whenever he comes on screen.
A mass introduction song for a hero was done for the first time in Annamalai like the leg shot, dafli (drum) going up and he catching it and winking at the camera. Since his Guru said, Rajini did not say anything more.Ģ. KB sir told Rajini- “What is wrong in Suresh’s idea Rajini? People are clapping for your name. When fans are coming for his films, why not give them that fizz. I convinced him, saying that it has a special vibration. Those days, we did not have CGs and hence we did in the typical style of adding each alphabet frame by frame. We had included the Superstar logo in the title for Rajinikanth for the first time. There was no script in place, there was just an idea. I want to start on the scheduled date and release on June 27th 1992”. He told me, “It’s a prestige issue for Kavithalaya and I don’t want the film to be postponed. KB sir wanted to meet me immediately and he told me that I am directing the film. The film was scheduled to begin shoot on March 11th, 1992 he left on March 8th. Originally, Vasanth was supposed to direct Annamalai, but exactly 48 hours before the shoot, he walked out of it. I am also glad that I got to be associated with these two milestone films. These films figure in two of his bests in Rajini’s career. People have not forgotten Annamalai and Baasha. Annamalai had that impact which is still growing rich. It is a kind of feeling you won’t get for all the films. How do you feel to have directed such a commercial blockbuster?įirstly, I am so happy that even after 25 years, people remember the film fondly. We caught up with director Suresh Krissna who shared with us many interesting facts about the film. Yes, its 25th anniversary for this blockbuster film produced by K Balachander for his Kavithalaya Productions. Stay tuned to this space for updates.Īnnamalai in Rajinikanth’s career is an important film, which was released 25 years ago on this day (27th June 1992).

Let us all succeed."Īnnamalai, head of the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association, also released a statement calling all theatre owners to attend the meeting on the said date.

He also added, "In the meantime, let us not spread any controversial messages on WhatsApp which might have the effect of breaking our unity. Since there is some debate and discussion regarding the situation still remaining, let us (theatre owners) all meet on Wednesday, April 11, at 3 PM at Rohini Complex, Koyambedu", he said.
