Taking this article at face value: With Rajnikanth in a project, nothing seems to happen at a realistic scale. I wonder what happens. Even on a commercial scale, I think this is a dumb decision. A 1-and-a-1/2 hour animation movie can be run twice the number of times a three hour full-length commercial feature film in one theatre having the same capacity. That means double the revenue per day than a regular format commercial film. Is it so difficult for the producers to figure this out? Does Rajnikanth's mere presence hijack people's intelligence also? I always thought Soundarya Rajnikanth was intelligent. I hope this article is wrong!
