Southern Superstar

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth will not click in the southern state's politics, where the ethos of Dravidian culture has always manifested, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily claimed on Friday.

Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK hit out at South superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan today, declaring that any political alliance between the two would look like "a cat and mouse living together." The party's caustic remark comes amid speculation of a blockbuster political realignment in the southern state

The southern superstar's upcoming film, Kabali, has lead to palpable excitement - so much so that it has inspired liveries. First, it was an AirAsia aircraft. Now, it is cars.

"It is a privilege to be associated with superstar Rajnikanth's film Kabali. There is immense excitement for the film all over the country and we are working towards a pan-India release, excluding the southern markets," Vijay Singh CEO, Fox Star Studios, said in a statement.

From superstars to common people, millions voted as polling in two southern states and one Union Territory proceeded briskly with Kerala witnessing 71 per cent turnout and Puducherry nearly 82 per cent. In Tamil Nadu, 73.76 per cent voting was recorded till 8 pm, said the Election Commission.

It's election year in five states, including Tamil Nadu, and southern superstar Suriya is helping spread awareness about voting rights by means of typically 2016 device. Suriya's preferred method to drive home his message - a Dubsmash video; the dialogue he chose to lip-sync - one made famous in the 1995 Tamil film Muthu by Rajinikanth, no less.

Southern mega star Mammootty has been dragged to court by a man who used the "fairness soap" he endorsed to disappointing results.

No other south Indian film before has received the kind of reception Baahubali has been getting. The film has successfully blurred the line between southern cinema and Bollywood proving that a film need not always require a superstar to become a blockbuster

Superstar Salman Khan's recent release Jai Ho, a Hindi remake of Southern film Stalin, may have received mixed response at the box office but that doesn't mean that he has lost interest in the genre.

Along with an interesting line up of films featuring superstars such as Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan, Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2 and Mahesh Babu's 1: Nenokkadine for next year, works of a new breed of actors and filmmakers will also rule the roost in the New Year.
