On the occasion of Rajini’s birthday (Dec 12), the makers of Arya’s new movie titled Ghajinikanth released the first look of the film. But the interesting aspect is that actor Suriya, who acted in Ghajini, unveiled the poster. Arya’s looks has been designed after Rajini’s famous looks from his 1988 release Dharmathin Thalaivan.
The new film Ghajinikanth is being produced by Gnanavel Raja and directed by Prathap Santhosh who hit the limelight with his adult content movie Hara Hara Maha Devaki. Sayyesha Saigal plays Arya’s pair.
But the poster has received flak from a few including producer Radhakrishnan, the former secretary of TFPC. They contend that this poster demeans Superstar Rajinikanth who has brought laurels and respect to Indian film industry.
“Rajini sir is Tamil cinema’s pride and identity. Why should Gnanavel Raja name his film as Ghajinikath, bringing disrespect to Rajinikanth sir and releasing a poster on the latter’s birthday? We strongly condemn Gnanavel Raja for his unpleasant act,” Radhakrishnan had stated in his letter.
