The much-anticipated audio launch of Rajinikanth-starrer Kaala took place in YMCA grounds in Chennai on Wednesday, 9 May. During the launch, actor-turned politician Rajinikanth said that interlinking south Indian rivers was his “only dream”, and he will be happy to “die” after realising it.

Speaking about his party launch, Rajinikanth said that he has a “responsibility” but the date is yet to come.

“When the time comes all good things will happen to Tamil Nadu,” Rajinikanth said.

Speaking about Linga, one of the star’s earlier movies, he said:

I liked the script of Linga movie. The concept of water scarcity is close to my heart. I go to Himalayas to see river Ganga. The movie talks about building dams for people. My only dream is to interlink south Indian rivers. I will be happy if I die a day after that. I love Linga character.

However, he added, the movie Linga did not do well in the box-office.

The actor said he realised that he was 67 years old, and cannot “dance around with heroines” younger than his daughter. Therefore, he said, he realised that he should act his age.

“After Linga and Kochadaiyan movies turned out to be flops, people thought Rajnikanth’s career is over. But they have been talking about this for 40 years now. What they don’t understand is that it is people’s love that keeps me going,” the actor said during the launch.

Rajinikanth Heaps Praise on Director Ranjith

Rajinikanth said that it was his daughter Saundarya who introduced him to the director, P Ranjith.

When I met Ranjith and heard about Kabali, I was not sure but Ranjith was confident. He took time to give the script. Ranjith said he was not ready to share the story till it was completed. He is a brilliant person who cares for everyone with him and thinks deeply about the society.

Ranjith reportedly told Rajini:

“Sir, for you it could be just another film but for me, I don’t get opportunities like this. I won’t mess it up.”

Kabali was the first film in 43 years that Rajinikanth has reportedly received a script for, the actor said.

Semma Weightu, a single from the film Kaala was released on 1 May, garnering over 3 million views so far.
