Super Star Rajinikanth revealed the secret of his young looks on screen at the audio launch of 'Kathanayakadu' in Chennai on Monday.

Rajinikanth said that after 40 years, one must try to avoid all the 'white' things in food such as sugar, salt, rice, milk and curd. 'With these, one must always have positive thinking and good words. "If everything is positive, one would not look old at all', he remarked.

Rajinikanth announced on the occasion that he would donate Rs15 lakh to the workers of his movies whenever his films are released.

Apparently referring to big films that he is working in, Rajinikanth said," When I was supposed to lift mountains, I feared to lift even a crowbar. But KB guided me and advised me well'.

''Kathanayakadu' is produced by Pushpa Kandasamy for Kavithalaya and Vijayakumar for Seven Arts and directed by P Vasu. A remake of the Malayalam hit 'Katha Parayumbol', the movie features Rajinikanth, Jagapathy Babu, Nayantara, Meena among others. G V Prakash has scored the music.

Thanking his mentor K Balachander for shaping up his career, Rajinikanth credited director P Vasu, who took care of different departments in a meticulous way in the film.

The audio was released by K Balachander and the first CD was received by A R Rahman.

An innovative approach was meted out during the audio launch. Since the movie dwells on friendship, top personalities appropriately handed over the film's CD to their respective best friends giving an insight to who their respective best friends were. Rajinikanth gave the CD to his best friend Murali, Balachander to Bharathiraja, P. Vasu to Leo Christopher, Prakash Kumar to P Vijay (director of Krieedam) and Jagapathi Babu, to his good friend actor Arjun.

G V Prakash Kumar said that he admired Rajinikanth since his childhood and composed songs as a Rajini fan.

Balachander, thanking Rajinikanth for doing the film, said, "He is not just my protégé but also a man with noble principles. I will not claim that I discovered Rajinikanth. I just polished the diamond, which is shinning brighter today".

The event witnessed the presence of Latha Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Dhanush, Dhanush, Soundarya Rajinikanth among others on the occasion.
