This Friday saw - which was to watch a Rajni film in
Aurora on the day of its release, for the ‘ experience’.
My driver who dropped me off at the theatre asked me
innocently: ( what’s going on here, why are people dancing on the roads ) It’s a Rajni film, I told him.Nothing else I tell him will explain the Superstar phenomenon to him - or to millions of Indians like him who are puzzling over why a man pushing 70, who looks so ordinary off screen, and who to them only means funny mannerisms and staccato dialogue delivery - can evoke such frenzy.
