Rajinikanth was the first choice for 'I'?
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,September 17 2014]
If we go back and visit the past; we always end up finding something interesting. The same applies pretty much to the cinema industry as often we get to find some interesting news while we read/see some past interviews. After delivering the jaw dropping Enthiran', Rajini opened to a popular channel and discussed how he end up doing the Sci – Fi movie with Shankar.
Director Shankar offered me three stories; one being the Sivaji', and the other two are The Robot' (Ebthiran) and a story which revolves around a hunchback person/Mr. India kind of story. I was not ready to do a Sci-Fi immediately and agreed to sign Sivaji' because I thought it would be easy for me to perform right away.
Now, after the audio launch, one could see the connection between the story of I' and the one narrated to Rajini a few years ago. Vikram's character in I' is so close to the above mentioned story since he sports a hunchback character and desire to become Mr. Madras.
Do comment and let us know your views if Rajini had signed the dotted lines of I'.
