Finally, Sun TV telecasted the Thalaivar Rajini and director K. Balachander interview which was held during the 40 years of the Directors’ Association celebration two months ago.
The event was graced with almost all the tamil directors presence and dance performances by actors and actress.
The entry of Isaignani Ilayaraja and Ilayathalapthy Vijay did lit up the mood of the evening, but it was Superstars entry which stole the loudest of the cheers at the stadium. Later the super star also turned out to be the star of the evening when director K Balachander called Rajinikanth up on stage to ‘interview’ him. The director said that these were questions that had been on his mind for a very long time.
