Suriya upset with RGV

RGV’s publicity campaign for South star Suriya had a tagline comparing the actor to Rajnikanth and Aamir Khan. On being severely criticised, the line had to be deleted
Just when South superstar Suriya was gearing up for his big Bollywood debut with Ram Gopal Varma’s Rakht Charitra 2, he got the shock of his life.
To publicise the film, RGV apparently got his officials to put up hoardings that have Suriya’s picture, the name of the film- Rakht Charitra 2 and a line that reads, ‘After Robot The Rajini, its Suriya The Ghajini’.
The moment the hoardings were put up around the city, RGV started getting negative feedback on it saying it was unfair to compare Suriya with Rajnikanth or Aamir Khan.
Suriya also told RGV that he was not comfortable being compared to these actors.
It was then that the filmmaker decided to change all these posters.
Our source says, “Ramu wanted to launch Suriya in a major way.
So, he got his marketing team put up huge hoardings of Suriya all over the city, with a tagline that read `After Robot The Rajini, its Suriya The Ghajini’. But Ramu started getting negative feedback.
It was decided that the publicity campaign will not have this tagline. The changes have been incorporated.”
On observing carefully you notice that the abbreviation of Rajnikanth’s name has an extra ‘i’ in the hoarding, added just so the word rhymes with ‘Ghajini’. Tsk tsk! Ramu, you should thank your stars Rajnikanth did not see this.
