Is Rajinikanth a bigger superstar than Amitabh Bachchan was in his prime?

In my opinion, yes, Rajinikanth was a bigger superstar than Amitabh Bachchan, even during Amitabh's prime. While Amitabh dominated Hindi cinema and became the face of Bollywood in the 1970s and 1980s, Rajinikanth's superstardom reached an almost unmatched level, especially in South India, where his fan following became more like a cultural phenomenon. His larger-than-life image, unmatched fan devotion, record-breaking openings, and decades-long box office dominance made him more than just a successful actor. Amitabh was an iconic superstar, but Rajinikanth's level of mass worship and influence makes me believe he stands a step above.

Proof that PR is the most dangerous weapon today

If you see the comments on this post, 3 of them have been clearly given a copy instruction (something to do with a knife and slicing) and have been posted from random accounts with the same content just within 5 minutes of the post. They know how important the initial engagement is and shifting the narrative positively is the main goal. This is a real threat to how opinions are formed today.

Edit: PR as in Public relations not Pradeep Ranganathan 😭

First choices of Vaaranam Aayiram

Some of these options may be news to you.

The first choices for Krishnan are Mohanlal and Nana Patekar.
The first choice for Malini was Mohini.
The first choices for Meghna were Asin and Deepika Padukone.
The first choices for Priya were Genelia, Bhavana, and Andrea.

It is hard to imagine anyone else after watching Surya, Simran, Sameera, and Divya in these iconic roles. Who do you think may have been as good or interesting in these roles?

Movies from 60s/70s/80s

Anyone here watching old movies these days cause all the new ones are crap. By old I mean as old as MGR, Shivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan. I just watch Puthiya Paravai. Great movie. For some reason the movies form this time line feels so simple, no brainer comfortable to watch.

Heera Rajagopal

In her less than 10 years career Heera did lots of movies. Mostly in Glamorous roles, but she was good as Village girl in Thiruda Thiruda. But she just disappeared from film industry. She acted in near about 25 plus movies in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi . Idhayam was her debut in Tamil.

Came across this post.. . How much of a movie's success do you think is the movie itself vs. the atmosphere around it?!
