Default Re: Rajnikant is a bigger international brand than bollywood

There is a unexplained phenomenon about Rajini.. It is not simply that Tamil people are worshipping hi.. After the release of Muthu in Japan he was a craze there..The Japanese has Fan Association of him in many japanese cities.. Many Japanese people still visit Chennai as a pilgrimage yatra and waiting for his darshan many days..( even the star out of station they simply satisfied by taking photographs infront of his house). He is famous next to Jackie chan and called as 'Dancing Maharaja'. When Prime Minister Manmohan Sing meet the Japanese people he refer the cultural ties through film, how Japanese are very fond this indian Dancing Maharaja..The Japanese who migrated to USA set up their own fan clubs, so Sivaji get biggest opening in USA cities..there Japanese out number south Indians fans in many shows.. But what I could not understand is,' Why in London a traditionally Bollywood stronghold run packed houses of Sivaji with the fans comprising mainly North Indian audiences ? Also in Netherland First week shows of Sivaji has been reported housefull where there is no fan club of him, neither Indian migrants presence there !!
