Rajini delights fans

Kuselan, the Tamil remake of the Mammootty-Sreenivasan starrer Kathaparayumbol, created ripples among his fans on the very first day of the shooting schedule.

Relaxed, jovial and down to earth, Rajani was among his colleagues on the sets. Rajani arrived on Saturday evening for a four-day shooting schedule. He acted in the song sequence featuring him as a film star dancing with artistes on a houseboat.

Leading south Indian heroines Nayanthara and Meena and upcoming actor Mamtha are also in the movie. The megastar reached in time on the sets arranged on the banks of Punnamada lake on Sunday morning though he went to bed late on Saturday night after watching the IPL semifinals.

"He was bowled over by the beauty of the lake, while enjoying the taste varieties of Alappuzha like Karimeen pollichathu," production executive of the movie A Kabeer said. Cameraman of the movie Aravind Krishna suffered a slight injury on his leg during the shooting and he was taken to the Alappuzha MCH for treatment.

According to director Vasu, unlike Mammotty, who played a guest role in Kathaparyumbol, Rajani plays the role of a fulltime character as the story revolves around him.
