Rajni had to imitate three Bollywood stars to woo his girlfriend, Shreya Sharan.
Versatile and energetic, the Southern rage Rajnikanth has won kudos for his phenomenal performance in Sivaji. For the Hindi version of his film the film-makers decided to re-shoot one important song where Rajni had to imitate three Bollywood stars to woo his girlfriend, Shreya Sharan.
However, when the director Shankar explained the concept to him, Rajni had a problem. His condition was that he would do the song, but without imitating his friend and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan (with whom Rajni has earlier worked in films like Andha Kanoon).
According to our source, Rajni was kicked by the idea of doing a song for the Hindi version especially since it would mean a lot for his fans back here in Bollywood. He also loved the concept considering that the song in Tamil, where he imitated Kamal Hassan, MGR and Sivaji Ganeshan, was a huge hit. The film-makers wanted Rajni to imitate Dev Anand, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. However, Rajni refused to spoof Bachchan, saying that he would not like to imitate someone as great as the superstar. It is a well-known fact that both Bachchan and Rajni run a mutual admiration society.
Adds the source, So, Shankar had no option but to replace Amitabh Bachchan with Shammi Kapoor. Now Rajni's song will have him trying to woo Shreya by mimicking Dev saab, SRK and Shammi Kapoor.
The music of the film is by A R Rahman, and it will be released by the end of this year.
