Rajinikanth in comics
The superstar’s fame is reaching sky high. He was featured on T-shirts (in the US, it is a rage to wear T-shirts depicting Rajni after a pop artist started this trend a few years ago; it is catching up again now); footage of his film was featured in a foreign film (French film Prête-moi Ta Main); so many film personalities acted as his fans in their films; and so many heroes declared they are his fans and modelling their lives after him. Need we mention his fan clubs throughout the world? Soon, he will be in COMICS too!
Yes! This is the idea of Chennai-based artist Gaman, who heads a publication company called Krea Comics. Earlier, Gaman conceptualized a project and created some designs and illustrations based on Sivaji and discussed this idea with the producers of Sivaji, but the project did not take off. Now, he has created another prototype of his project and is in touch with the makers of Robot. Pretty soon, the results will be out. And it looks like this time, it is going to be a positive result.
So, pretty soon, we will get to see our superstar in comic books too. This is a very rare and incredible achievement for any star. Though films are bigger than comic books and video games, an actor’s fame is considered to have reached its highest point if he or she is featured in a comic book, video game or cartoon. It shows their iconic status. In the West, only the likes of Arnold Schwarzenneger and Bruce Willis have achieved it. In Asia, Jackie Chan has featured in a cartoon called “The adventures of Jackie Chan”. In India, Neetu Chandra (she acts alongside Madhavan in Yavarum Nalam) is featured in a 3D mobile game which is a tremendous achievement for her.
