00:00Rajini sir has acted in 25 films as a villain before that.
00:04Bhairavi is his 26th film.
00:06He is introduced as a hero in that film.
00:09It is not possible to act as a villain and then suddenly become a hero in those days.
00:16He sings that song in Sister Samadhi.
00:19At that time, one of his legs has gone due to a bomb blast.
00:23He sings with a bandage on both sides.
00:26That song will be very good.
00:27Even now, that song is trending on YouTube.
00:33Sir, if I stay here any longer, the audience will come.
00:36After releasing the film.
00:37That song is for the climax.
00:38Because after that is the climax.
00:40That's why I didn't leave, sir.
00:41Then he left.
00:42Then he will say,
00:43It's been many years since I saw Rajini, who left that day.
00:50For Bhairavi movie, Chinnappa Devaraiyya was supposed to finance it.
00:57But for some reasons, he didn't finance it.
01:08Why didn't your father and Rajini sir work together again?
01:12I don't know if I should say this or not.
01:15But I will say it.
01:20Before making this film, I met Rajini sir with an action story.
01:24He received me well and gave me coffee.
01:27He was talking for more than an hour.
01:29He asked me what I did and how I was doing.
01:32After everything was over, my father said,
01:35There is a story like this, you should listen to it.
01:38Then Rajini sir said,
01:39No sir, don't get me wrong.
01:41I have a policy.
01:42I have a policy.
01:46Through Bhairavi movie, he became a superstar.
01:51That's the truth.
01:52I have never seen Rajini sir introducing me as M. Bhaskar in that movie.
02:03Did Rajini sir come to your father's funeral?
02:05He died on 12th.
02:07We did the cremation on 13th.
02:11On 13th, a famous actress passed away.
02:16Rajini sir was the first one to die.
02:41Rajini sir directed many films like M. Bhaskar, Bhairavi, Theerpugal Thirutha Padalam, Paurnami Alayigal.
02:47Let's ask him a few questions.
02:49Hello sir.
02:50Hello.
02:51How are you?
02:52I'm fine.
02:53It's been a long time since I saw you in the field.
02:55We have reduced the production.
02:59In this interview, we can talk about your father and the films you made.
03:02Let's talk about your father first.
03:04M. Bhaskar is an entry through Bhairavi.
03:08It was your father who introduced Rajini to you.
03:12Let's talk about your father.
03:16Rajini sir's first film, Bhairavi, was directed by my father.
03:20Rajini sir's first film was a hero.
03:24Rajini sir had directed 25 films as a villain before that.
03:31Bhairavi was his 26th film.
03:33He was introduced as a hero in that film.
03:37It's not easy to act as a villain and then become a hero.
03:41In those days, villains were not accepted as heroes.
03:46So, my father planned how to promote him as a hero.
03:52There's a fight scene where he throws a goat and beats it.
03:59He did a great job in that scene.
04:01There's no doubt about it.
04:03The snake is also in that film.
04:05The police chase him.
04:07He hides in a small hut.
04:09They tell him to look this way.
04:11He stays there.
04:13Suddenly, a snake goes there.
04:15He catches it bravely and throws it.
04:17No one did that in those days.
04:19He did a great job in those days.
04:21His performance was very interesting.
04:25There's no doubt about it.
04:27Then there's the song Kattapillai Kuttapillai.
04:29In the film, there's music by Ilaiyaraaja sir.
04:34It was all planned.
04:36There's a song called Nanduruthu Nariyuruthu.
04:40It's a song by Pethas.
04:46I think it was taken by Pollachi.
04:50He sings that song in Sister Samadhi.
04:52His leg was injured in a bomb blast.
04:56He sings with a bandage on both his legs.
05:00It's a great song.
05:02It's still trending on YouTube.
05:04When he was recording that song,
05:06he was very hesitant to ask his father to record it.
05:10Rajini sir was very hesitant.
05:12He said,
05:14Sir, you're recording a song by Pethas.
05:18If the audience screams in the theater,
05:20it will be a total disaster.
05:22I'm acting as a hero in the first film.
05:24I'm a little hesitant.
05:26I'm also scared.
05:28How can I do it, sir?
05:31You act bravely.
05:33I've planned how to promote you as a hero in this film.
05:39I'll do it well.
05:41Don't worry.
05:43I'll tell you today.
05:45They'll ask for this song once more in the theater.
05:47That's what he said.
05:49On the day of release,
05:51Rajini sir and his father
05:53went to the Rajagumari theater in T Nagar.
05:55It's still there.
05:57They went to watch a film at the noon show.
05:59Rajini sir was very nervous and tensed.
06:01His father used to tell him that
06:03he would be very nervous.
06:05As soon as the song was about to be released,
06:07he held his father's hand and said,
06:09Sir, I'm very nervous.
06:11Don't worry about anything.
06:13Watch it once the song is over.
06:15Whether they'll ask for it once more or not.
06:17As soon as the song was over,
06:19they started screaming,
06:21once more, once more, in the theater.
06:23It wasn't just here.
06:25The response was all over Tamil Nadu.
06:28Rajini sir was very happy when he saw the song.
06:30They accepted him as a hero.
06:32It was the beginning of his career.
06:34He acted as a villain and became a hero.
06:36It was a big deal.
06:38They wouldn't have accepted him as a hero.
06:40Not at all in those days.
06:42He was very happy.
06:44He held his father's hand and said,
06:46Sir, if I stay here any longer,
06:48the audience will...
06:50The song was directed towards the climax.
06:52It was the climax after that.
06:54So, I'm leaving, sir.
06:56He would say,
06:58It's been years since I've seen Rajini.
07:00He would say,
07:02He has reached such heights.
07:04Immediately,
07:06in Devar Films,
07:08he was given an advance for two films.
07:10It was a big deal.
07:12But it all happened through Bhairavi.
07:14After Bhairavi was released,
07:16he was given an advance for two films in Devar Films.
07:18The big thing is,
07:20Chinnappa Devaraiah was the one
07:22who financed Bhairavi.
07:25But for some reason,
07:27he didn't finance the film
07:29because he thought the hero was black.
07:31He didn't finance the film.
07:33Actually, he got another finance
07:35and the film was finished.
07:37Chinnappa Devaraiah himself
07:39immediately called Rajini sir
07:41and took the film,
07:43Annai Oru Alayam.
07:45He booked the film at that time
07:47and took Rajini sir's film.
07:49Since the release of the film,
07:51he has been a superstar.
07:53Another important thing is,
07:55he was holding a snake in his hand.
07:57He was wearing a black shirt
07:59and black pants.
08:01He even wore black shoes.
08:03He planned all this.
08:05Why?
08:07He wanted to project well.
08:09He wanted to do it differently.
08:11It was a black and white film.
08:13It was not possible to shoot in color.
08:15It was a black and white film.
08:17He was a hero in black and black.
08:19It was a small impression.
08:22It would look rugged.
08:24It would look good.
08:26That's why he promoted it.
08:28He would hold a sword in a scene.
08:30He would ask,
08:32does it hurt?
08:34He planned all these things
08:36in small places.
08:38He planned it.
08:40We promote him as a hero.
08:42At the same time,
08:44this is our first film.
08:46We have to make him win.
08:48We have to win.
08:50He planned all these things.
08:52He did it.
08:54He was holding a snake.
08:56It was a big wall post.
08:58Dhanu sir bought the film first.
09:00It was Bairavi's film.
09:02Dhanu sir bought it first.
09:04It was a big post.
09:06It was a big banner.
09:08He was holding a snake.
09:10He said,
09:12SSSS is a super star.
09:14At that time,
09:16MGR sir,
09:19Sivaji sir,
09:21called Dhanu sir
09:23and told him not to do it.
09:25Rajini sir talked about it.
09:27Dhanu sir has said it in many interviews.
09:29You must have heard about it.
09:31He became a super star.
09:33He is still a super star.
09:35I have a doubt.
09:37Was the snake he was holding
09:39an original snake?
09:41Yes.
09:43Was it poisonous?
09:45I don't know if it was poisonous.
09:47It wasn't graphics.
09:49It was an original snake.
09:51Rajini sir was told
09:53that he was black.
09:55No.
09:57He is beautiful in black.
09:59In Tamil industry,
10:01from Rajini to Dhanush,
10:03people who are black
10:05are always bright.
10:07Even Vijay sir's tone
10:09is not white.
10:11He is beautiful in black.
10:14So, Bairavi is over.
10:16Rajini sir went to a peak.
10:18The film was a success.
10:20Why didn't Rajini sir and your father
10:22make a film together again?
10:24I don't know if I should say this or not.
10:26But I'll say it.
10:28After Bairavi, my father
10:30made a film called Soolam.
10:32It was his own banner.
10:34He started the banner of Oscar movies
10:36in 1980.
10:38He made a film called Soolam.
10:40Rajkumar,
10:42his younger brother,
10:44who is now Steve Priya's husband,
10:46was the hero in that film.
10:48Radhika madam was the heroine.
10:50After that film,
10:52he made a film
10:54called Theerpukal Thiruthapadalam.
10:56It was made by Sivakumar sir.
11:00Before making that film,
11:02he met Rajini sir
11:04for an action story.
11:06He received her well.
11:08He gave her coffee.
11:11He talked to her for more than an hour.
11:13He asked her how she was doing.
11:15After everything was over,
11:17my father told me
11:19that he wanted to hear a story.
11:21Rajini sir said,
11:23don't get me wrong.
11:25I have a policy.
11:27I act only in big banner films.
11:29That's my policy.
11:31My father said,
11:33it's not wrong to have a policy.
11:35I don't want to disturb that.
11:37If my Oscar movie banner
11:39becomes a big one,
11:41I will come to you again.
11:43Rajini sir said,
11:45thank you, bye.
11:47After that film,
11:49he made
11:51Pournameelaigal.
11:53After that film,
11:55he made Pournameelagal.
11:57Sivakumar sir is the hero in that film.
11:59Ambika and Revathi
12:01are in that film.
12:03It was shot in
12:05Ooty.
12:08It was a royal set-up song.
12:10He shot it in the
12:12Farneel Palace itself.
12:14Sivakumar sir shot it
12:16with Ambika madam.
12:18Rajini sir stayed in the Farneel Palace.
12:20It was a 5 star hotel in Ooty.
12:22That's where
12:24artists stay.
12:28One day,
12:30at 6 pm,
12:32Balu Moindra sir's film
12:34Un Kannil Neervalindhal
12:36was shot in the lobby
12:38of Rajini sir's hotel.
12:40He asked,
12:42whose film is it?
12:44I said,
12:46it's Bhaskar sir's film,
12:48Pournameelagal.
12:50He said, it's been a long time.
12:52He wanted to see it.
12:54He told his father,
12:56the assistant director.
12:58Vijayakanth sir
13:00shot Vallarasu's film,
13:02Kanur Maharajan.
13:05He was Rajini sir's assistant.
13:07He said, Rajini sir is here.
13:09I said, hello sir.
13:11I said, how are you?
13:13They talked for 5-10 minutes.
13:15I said, we need to meet today.
13:17There's a small dinner in my room.
13:19Sivakumar sir,
13:21Ambika, Revathi,
13:23everyone needs a small dinner.
13:25My father said,
13:27it'll be 9 pm
13:29by the time the shoot is over.
13:31After that,
13:33it'll be too late to refresh.
13:35He said, it's okay.
13:37I'll wait.
13:39You can come.
13:41We went upstairs.
13:43Rajini sir was invited.
13:45Sivakumar sir,
13:47Ambika, Revathi,
13:49Rajini sir.
13:51There were only 5 of us.
13:53It's been a long time
13:55since we did a film together.
13:57Can we do another film?
13:59Will you direct it?
14:02Rajini sir asked.
14:04My father said,
14:10Rajini sir said,
14:12we can do it.
14:14Rajini sir said,
14:16a big banner.
14:18No name.
14:20Meet the producer when you go to Chennai.
14:22I've given him the call sheet
14:24for the next film.
14:26You direct that film.
14:28My father said,
14:30I don't know if you remember
14:32or not.
14:34When I did my second film,
14:36I saw you.
14:38You said you were acting
14:40in a big banner film.
14:42You said it was your policy.
14:44I agreed to see it.
14:46I have a policy.
14:48I don't have an idea
14:50to do a film
14:52for any other banner.
14:54I only do it for my Oscar movies.
14:57I have also given many
14:59successful films.
15:01If you want,
15:03you can give dates
15:05to my company.
15:07I'll act in that film.
15:09You tell me.
15:11You decide.
15:13Rajini sir smiled as usual.
15:15It was casual.
15:21He had the desire to act.
15:23My father had the desire
15:25to act.
15:27He wouldn't give up
15:29certain policies to my father.
15:31He also had certain policies.
15:33But that didn't happen.
15:35I didn't do any films after that.
15:39I've heard that your father
15:41was strict during the shoot.
15:43Yes, he was very strict.
15:45Because he was strict,
15:47he was afraid to act
15:49in front of his father.
15:51He was afraid of being
15:54punished.
15:56He used to make
15:58court-related films.
16:00Even now,
16:02there are many such films.
16:04He gave so many
16:06successful films
16:08and became a writer,
16:10director, and producer.
16:12Even then,
16:14big artists were afraid
16:16to act in front of him.
16:18Because he was very strict
16:20and disciplined.
16:22If he wanted to act,
16:24he had to act till 9.
16:26If he had a lunch break,
16:28he had to start shooting
16:30again at 2.
16:32If he didn't honor the date
16:34given,
16:36he would go to court
16:38irrespective of who it was.
16:40So, he was afraid
16:42to give dates
16:44and go to court.
16:48Did he do a few films
16:51with you?
16:53I don't know.
16:55He and my father
16:57became very close.
16:59I shouldn't call him sir.
17:01He is my uncle.
17:03He and my father
17:05became very close.
17:07I didn't know
17:09what magic it was.
17:11I was only 10-12 years old.
17:13He and my father
17:15were very close.
17:17When we first met
17:19and when we did
17:21the Thirukkul Thiruttappam,
17:23he gave me dates
17:25with the hope
17:27that this project
17:29would be a success.
17:31After it became a hit,
17:33he gave me dates
17:35with the hope
17:37that this project
17:39would be a success.
17:41He would prepare
17:43a subject for 1-1.5 years
17:45and he would call me
17:48and tell me that
17:50Sivakumar uncle
17:52would act in our banner.
17:54Our banner, Oscar Movies,
17:56is like a mother's home
17:58to Sivakumar uncle.
18:00Sivakumar uncle
18:02is like a member
18:04of our family.
18:06So, Sivakumar sir
18:08did three films
18:10with Karthik sir.
18:12Yes, with Karthik sir.
18:14Pakkath Veetu Roja,
18:16Thirukkul Thiruttappam,
18:18and Chakravarthy
18:20became a big deal.
18:22You said that your father
18:24used to file cases
18:26against actors.
18:28What about Karthik sir?
18:30He took away all the hits.
18:34There was a manager
18:36named Chitralaya Sanmugam sir
18:38who worked
18:40for Sridhar sir.
18:42At that time,
18:45Karthik sir
18:47was at home for 30 days.
18:49He would have
18:51slept in a hall.
18:53He would wake me up
18:55and take me to the studio.
18:57He would take me
18:59to the studio.
19:01He took me like a child.
19:03Whatever trouble
19:05Karthik sir would create,
19:07he would call me
19:09as father.
19:11He would hug me
19:13and call me father
19:15and convince me
19:17to shoot.
19:19He would love me.
19:21Even my father
19:23would love Karthik sir.
19:25I have a question
19:27because my father
19:29has worked with many actors.
19:31Did Rajini sir
19:33come to hide my father?
19:35Let's put that aside.
19:37The director of
19:39Bhairavi movie
19:42who introduced Rajini sir
19:44as a hero,
19:46M. Bhaskar,
19:48cannot be changed
19:50in the history of cinema.
19:52Rajini sir himself
19:54has said that Bhairavi
19:56is my first hero movie.
19:58There is no change in that.
20:00I don't know why
20:02he doesn't use
20:04my father's name
20:06anywhere.
20:08In Bhairavi,
20:10Rajini sir
20:12introduced me
20:14as Balachandran sir.
20:16He introduced me
20:18as Balachandran sir.
20:20Mullum Malaram
20:22was a different movie
20:24for him.
20:26Mahendran sir
20:28is my favorite director.
20:30I like him a lot.
20:32That is their personal wish.
20:34But, Bhairavi movie
20:36is the only way
20:39to change Rajini sir
20:41into a superstar.
20:43I have never heard
20:45of M. Bhaskar
20:47introducing me
20:49in that movie.
20:51That movie came out
20:53in 1978.
20:55I was only 8 years old.
20:57When I was in school
20:59and college,
21:01people used to ask
21:03if Bhairavi was my father.
21:05I didn't know.
21:07There was no Wikipedia
21:09at that time.
21:11People used to think
21:13I was lying.
21:15They used to think
21:17I was introducing
21:19a big star
21:21as my father.
21:23I used to feel sad.
21:25I used to wonder
21:27why he didn't
21:29give me the credit.
21:31I didn't know
21:33what was in his heart.
21:36Did you get emotional?
21:38No, I didn't.
21:40He was strict.
21:42He didn't make
21:44other movies or travel.
21:46We can't question
21:48that.
21:50There is nothing wrong
21:52in saying that
21:54he introduced me.
21:56In 2013,
21:58he passed away
22:00on July 12th.
22:02All the newspapers
22:04and TV channels
22:06reported
22:08that he passed away.
22:10It was a big news.
22:12We had an expectation
22:14that Rajini sir
22:16would come.
22:18But he didn't come.
22:20We thought
22:22he would send
22:24a condolence message
22:26through someone.
22:28But that didn't happen.
22:30He used to call
22:33to get his number.
22:35He used to call
22:37to get his son's number.
22:39But that didn't happen.
22:41He passed away
22:43on July 12th.
22:45We did the cremation
22:47on July 13th.
22:49We didn't want a name.
22:51We wanted a famous actress.
22:53Rajini sir was going
22:55to be the first one.
22:57We knew that
22:59he was avoiding us
23:01for a long time.
23:03I don't know the reason.
23:05He should be the reason.
23:07We didn't expect
23:09a girl, money,
23:11house, or money.
23:13We didn't ask for it.
23:15We didn't expect it.
23:17We would be happy
23:19if he gave the credit
23:21that we expected.
23:23The reason why
23:25we expected the credit
23:27is because he is
23:30the director who introduced
23:32me, M.Bhaskar.
23:34We would be proud of it.
23:36It is not wrong to expect it.
23:38It is our rightful wish.
23:40What is wrong in that?
23:42It didn't happen.
23:44I don't know what it is.
23:46I kept it in my heart for a long time.
23:48I am telling you this
23:50because you asked this question.
23:52Maybe his father didn't know
23:54that he passed away.
23:56How can he not know?
23:58Don't get me wrong.
24:00He is a big star.
24:02I am a fan of Rajini sir.
24:04I have been a fan
24:06of Rajini sir
24:08since my childhood.
24:10We used to watch
24:12Rajini sir's first day show
24:14in Alangar.
24:16There was a theater
24:18called Alangar in Chennai.
24:20I used to watch
24:22his first day show
24:24and 11th day show.
24:27We used to watch
24:29Rajini sir's movies
24:31in schools and colleges.
24:33Not just me,
24:35about 50 people used to watch
24:37Rajini sir's movies.
24:39I expect it to be
24:41a small wish.
24:43It is our right.
24:45Take Sivakumar uncle as an example.
24:47We told him that his father
24:49passed away.
24:51He came home in half an hour.
24:53That made us happy.
24:55After his father's death,
24:57people who were in touch
24:59with him came to honor him.
25:01That made us happy.
25:03He came home in half an hour
25:05and sat for about
25:07three to four hours
25:09before leaving.
25:11Did you try to meet
25:13Rajini sir?
25:15No.
25:17Rajini sir introduced
25:19his father as a hero.
25:21We didn't try.
25:24It is true that
25:26you can't meet him.
25:28If you talk to his manager
25:30or someone else,
25:32the fact is that
25:34they don't know
25:36who you are,
25:38who you are,
25:40who you are,
25:42who you are,
25:44who you are,
25:46who you are,
25:48who you are,
25:50who you are,
25:52who you are,
25:54who you are,
25:56who you are,
25:58who you are.
