ARNOLD WANTS TO MEET CM DURING HIS CHENNAI VISIT

Arnold Schwarzenegger is hoping to meet chief minister J Jayalalithaa during his visit to Chennai on September 15, when he will be launching the audio of director Shankar's upcoming film I.

Says the film's producer Aascar Ravichandran, “ Arnold has been the governor of California and has heard about the TN CM. So, he is keen to meet her while he is here in Chennai. Arnold's team has sent a request to the chief minister's office regarding the same.“

Meanwhile, the Hollywood superstar will meet our own Superstar Rajinikanth at the audio launch of the film. “Rajini sir is India's superstar and he has agreed to be part of the event. It is exciting for us to have two big superstars on the same stage,“ says the producer.

Revealing his plans for the audio launch, Aascar says that the event will not be like the usual launches and will be more like a stage show. “International bubble artist Ana Yang, a Guinness World Record holder, will be performing as part of the event. AR Rahman will present the songs from the film as a concert. We are also bringing down Weta Workshop artists who have worked on the film to do the makeup for the background dancers, who will perform wearing the actual costumes from the songs.There will be a fashion show by the film's costume designer. In addition to this, there will be another performance, which will be the surprise element of the show,“ he says.
