The shooting of Sivaji is on at a brisk pace at the AVM Studios in Chennai after shifting camp from Hyderabad. Did you know that the crew along with Superstar had gone on a quiet 15-day schedule to Spain in Europe for a song sequence? The total tour was organized by a local travel operator at Purasawalkam. Folks in Kollywood are quite awed about the unexpected twists and developments in the making of Sivaji.

Back from Spain, Superstar attended the Poi audio release and he showed no sign of fatigue at the whirlwind pace at which he is working. His son-in-law Dhanush, is also shooting for Puduppettai at the same AVM studio. So, mamanar and marumagan meet up during breaks for a chat. Also, Dhanush’s wife sends him lunch and so the proud father also shared in the delicacies made by his favorite daughter.

The sets for Sivaji are extraordinary with giant guitars, violins and other musical instruments attracting attention of many. Superstar keeps a low profile and after the day’s work, he changes to his trademark pyjama-kurta and dashes off home in his Ambassador 6009 escorted by the ubiquitous commando. All the costars are also having a great time because of the relaxed atmosphere. Shankar’s meticulous planning has ensured that work gets done in a disciplined but fun manner.

Vivek was also spotted in T-shirt. Shreya was also there. A few days ago, Thiagarajan, Prashanth’s father came and met Rajini on the sets.

Sources tell us that for this movie Shankar is being paid ten crores and Rahman five crores. The production cost comes to twenty crores. And guess what, the movie has already been sold for a whopping amount, and for reasons obvious the producers don’t want to disclose the figure.

AVM Saravanan, has requested Superstar to release Ultimate Star’s Tirupathi audio, which is scheduled on or before March 15th. And Superstar has agreed to it happily. Then, Superstar and Shankar would be off again for a long overseas schedule for which Shankar has made arrangements already. Guess why? Elections are round the corner in Tamil Nadu and the superstar wants to steer clear of any controversies and speculations. You would get to see him only on the date of voting
