Super
star
Rajinikanth's
movies
are
known
for
its
entertainment
quotient
as
well
as
for
its
introduction
songs.
Yes,
Rajini's
intro
songs
has
always
been
followed
with
keen
interests
by
his
fans
and
one
might
even
say
that
the
first
song
of
his
movie
might
have
an
impact
in
deciding
the
film's
success.
Consider
this,
Rajinikanth's
intro
songs
are
always
sung
by
the
famed
singer
S.P.
Balasubrahmanyam,
not
only
because
the
song
goes
on
to
become
a
massive
hit
but
also
because
there
is
this
strong
belief
that
when
S.P.
Balasubrahmanyam
lends
his
voice
for
Rajini's
first
song,
then
the
movie
is
a
sure
shot
success.
Interestingly,
in
2002
when
A.R.
Rahman
scored
music
for
the
movie
Baba,
the
first
song
was
given
to
Shankar
Mahadevan
and
the
movie
did
not
fare
well
at
the
Box-Office
as
expected.
Likewise,
in
almost
all
his
movies,
Rajinikanth's
first
songs
are
always
shot
in
India.
Breaking
this
stereotype
now
is
director
K.S.
Ravikumar,
who
will
be
flying
along
with
the
actor
and
other
crew
members
to
locations
like
Hong
Kong,
Macau
and
France
to
shoot
Rajinikanth's
intro
song
for
his
upcoming
movie
Lingaa.
A.R.
Rahman
is
said
to
have
composed
a
peppy
and
stylish
number
and
K.S.
Ravikumar
has
planned
out
an
extravagant
introduction
song
for
the
Thalaivar.
Now
that
the
song
has
been
sung
by
S.P.
Balasubrahmanyam,
shouldn't
it
be
shot
in
India
as
well?
Well,
it
looks
like
the
Padayappa
director
is
all
set
to
prove
atleast
one
of
the
theories
wrong
about
Rajinikanth's
intro
songs
and
let's
all
hope
that
he
succeeds
in
doing
so,
for
millions
of
fans
will
be
disappointed
if
the
jinx
is
not
broken.
