Super Star Rajnikanth’s name did not figure in the invitation card. It was mentioned that Kamal Haasan will release the audio CD and Surya will receive it.
But what happened was a sweet surprise. Today Rajnikanth had phoned Prabhu and told him that he will be attending the function. Because of this large number of police personnel were pressed into service at Sathyam Cinemas where the function was supposed to be held.
Rajni while speaking on this occasion said, "Normally I don’t participate in any of the functions. I have been invited for many functions. If I go for a function, I have to attend all the functions. That is why I avoid all the functions. I feel very shy to participate in the functions. To tell the truth attending a function is like running away from a person who has lent me money. They are so affectionate. It is a great pride when Kamal was approached to do a Hollywood film by the Lord of Rings producer. It is not pride for Tamil cinema alone. It is a great pride for Indian cinema. Prabhu had invited me for this function. Immediately I told Prabhu, "No Prabhu. I am not participating in any of the functions." I made up my mind not to attend this function. Yesterday Prabhu Solomon came to my house to give the invitation of this function. I immediately called Prabhu on the phone and told him," What Prabhu? I already told you that I will not attend the function."
He said, "No Anna (elder brother). Giving the invitation is our duty." Even while going to bed I did not have the intention of attending this function. Everyone while speaking said that Rajni is one trunk and Kamal is another trunk. Vikram Prabhu has climbed with their help and is kissing Tamil cinema but he has not kissed Tamil cinema.
He has kissed his grandfather Shivaji Ganeshan. He is an akshayapathiram (meaning the vessel that never diminishes in its contents. Kamal and I came from there only. I became very close to him only at the time of the shooting of Padayappa. At that time he told me, "You have so far not lifted your shirt collar. Once you do it your buttons will burst." What a big word it was. Work hard Vikram like others said but don’t get scared. After seeing the songs and trailer, I feel that Kumki will be a great success. Vikram Prabhu, welcome to Tamil cinema. My wishes."
Kamal released the audio CD in the presence of Rajnikanth which was received by Surya.
