By Ramchander
The
Tamil
film
industry
has
witnessed
one
of
the
biggest
cine
events
of
the
decade.
The
music
launch
of
I
aka
Ai
was
a
pure
spectacle
with
some
visually
striking
performance
taking
the
guests
and
audience
by
storm.
The
makers
of
the
movie's
idea
to
make
the
audio
launch
of
I
a
talk
of
the
town
became
a
big
success.
Their
strategy
of
roping
in
Hollywood
star
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
alone
drew
good
attention
from
the
media
outside
Tamil
Nadu.
And
the
presence
of
other
big
names
from
Kollywood
made
the
event
a
colourful
outing.
The
interesting
part
of
the
story
was
the
presence
of
Kannada
superstar
Puneet
Rajkumar!
The
industry
insiders
believe
that
extending
invitation
to
the
Sandalwood
star
has
given
a
good
publicity
to
the
Tamil
movie
in
Karnataka,
which
is
a
crucial
market
for
the
commercial
success
of
the
Shankar
directorial
film.
The
guests,
who
attended
the
event,
were
stunned
to
see
the
looks
of
Vikram
in
I.
They
heaped
praises
on
Vikram
for
his
dedicated
performance
and
Shankar
for
visualising
such
a
concept
that
matches
with
the
Hollywood
standards.

Arnold,
Rajinikanth

Arnold
About
Shankar
"Shankar
is
a
great
filmmaker.
He
comes
up
with
superb
special
effects
in
his
films.
I
would
love
to
work
with
him
someday.
Let's
make
'King
Conan',
Shankar," Schwarzenegger
told
reporters.
Arnold
About
Bodybuilders
The
makers
of
the
film
organised
a
special
bodybuilding
act
featuring
a
dozen
local
bodybuilders
as
a
tribute
to
Arnold,
who
is
a
bodybuilding
legend.
"It's
great
to
see
all
this
talent.
It
reminds
me
of
my
olden
days.
It's
wonderful
that
Shankar
has
given
them
a
chance
to
star
in
the
movie," he
said.
Rajinikanth
About
Vikram
"Vikram
has
dedicated
his
life
for
this
film.
Hats
off
to
his
commitment.
I
don't
think
you
could
find
an
actor,
who
has
sacrificed
so
much
for
a
character
in
Indian
cinema
as
well
as
Hollywood.
I
wish
the
film
all
success," Rajinikanth
told
reporters.
Rajinikanth
About
Shankar
"What
do
I
say
about
Shankar?
It's
been
two
decades
since
he
entered
the
Tamil
film
industry.
He's
climbing
up
with
every
film.
I
will
take
him
to
the
pinnacle.
But
I
know
this
won't
be
the
end
because
he
will
continue
making
films
that
will
supersede
his
own
work," he
said.
Rajinikanth
Heaps
Praises
On
Shankar
"He'd
always
complain
that
why
can't
we
make
films
on
par
with
Hollywood.
His
aim
has
always
been
to
take
Tamil
cinema
to
global
standards.
He
does
all
this
not
just
for
money,
but
for
his
passion
for
cinema.
He's
the
real
cinema
Indian,"
he
added.
Puneet
Rajkumar
Puneet
Rajkumar
said
that
he
is
a
big
fan
of
Vikram.
Chiyaan's
dedciation
for
his
roles
amazes
the
Kannada
actor.
