RGV: Amitabh is cinema. Rajinikanth is special effects
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,May 03 2012]
The man who is known for his controversial statements, Ram Gopal Verma, is at it again! IndiaGlitz caught up with the director for an interview as heÂs busy with the promos of his forthcoming ÂDepartmentÂ.
When quizzed of why heÂs directed Amitabh Bachchan in five films and Mohan Lal in ÂCompany and not yet approached Superstar Rajinikanth, pat came his response:
ÂThe reason I havenÂt directed the iconic superstar, Rajinikanth, is because you need a complete different sensitivity if you have to make a film with Rajinikanth and I do not see myself making a film with him. IÂd not hesitate to state that you cannot call Rajinikanth an actor but a special effectÂ.
On Big B he says, ÂI grew up watching Amit JiÂs (Amitabh Bachchan) films, Big B is cinema. IÂm glad heÂs been a part of five of my films. In Department his character has shades of grey; he plays Sarje Rao, a gangster who becomes a dreaded politicianÂ.
The director will be helming a project shortly on the 26 / 11 Mumbai attacks and KasabÂs actions that affected the normalcy of the country.
WeÂll have to wait to know the response from millions of Superstar Rajinikanth fans to this ÂcomplimentÂ?
