What has kept Rajini's innings steady?

Director Lingusamy's Thirupathi Brothers Film Media (P) Ltd's second venture Pattalam will hit the screen soon.

The audio of the film was launched in a colourful event yesterday at Sathyam Complex in Chennai. Nadiya, the yesteryear screen queen graced the occasion with her presence.

In the event, all the 8 newcomers of the film were introduced separately, one at a time by actors from the fraternity. Jayam Ravi, Prasanna, Jeeva, Shakthi, Jai, Bharath, Srikanth and Vijaylakshmi did the honours by presenting bouquet and welcoming the youngsters into the industry. The young star cast includes Kripa, Guru, Vikash, Sathya, Irrfan, Balaji, Hari, Vignesh and Arun. The story is set in a school atmosphere.

The producer Lingusamy was all smiles during the event and praised his brother Bose who preferred to remain behind the scenes instead of on stage during the press interaction.

He said, "Superstar Rajini sir is my inspiration to make movies with quality even if it takes much time. Once I asked Rajini sir, what has helped him stay in the industry for the past 25 years or more? He simply replied that since 1992, after every film he has always thought, that it would be his last film. He is the true legend with great dedication towards his profession. Every artist and creator should bear this in mind while making their film..."

Earlier Nadiya asked the gathering to spend two minutes in silence to pay homage to the martyrs in the Mumbai attack, in which she had lost two of her dearest friends.
