Visit www.babathemovie.com for an intro to the site. IT looks very cool. You have to wait after you see a blank screen for the home page to load.
The site is still under construction.

Thanks for the link man. Thalaivar looks great in his mudra posture. He doesnt look like a man nearing his 50s. Appearances can be deceptive but still thalaivar is youthful.

Sify Movies article about Manisha's Alcoholic Ways...
"It is common knowledge that Manisha is always teetering on the border of alcoholism and drug abuse, but what happened last Saturday reminded us once more that she is totally incapable of handling her own life. Manisha was in Chennai, shooting for the Rajnikath starrer Baba, and decided to get wasted at Gatsby 2000, the discotheque at The Park Sheraton Hotel and Towers. With Producer Vikram Singh in tow, Ms. Koirala downed drink after drink till she got so totally blown that she started throwing up in the disc, and had to be escorted to the Ladies Room. After a good 20 minutes of puking in the loo (which was cordoned off to general public during this time), she emerged all bleary-eyed and looking like an El Nino just hit her.
Considering she doesn't have much of a face, figure or fame left, young Manisha should probably try and get her act together and hold on to the little that she does have left - a firangi boyfriend back home, and Baba."

Some cine political news on Rajini
Rajini seems to have decided it is not right to keep his fans waiting
any more! Baba is the outcome of this decision. The moment this
decision was made public, his fans all over the State celebrated like
they would any other festival bursting crackers and making merry. The
number of attendees in the launch function was astounding. If this is
the kind of enthusiasm and interest for the launch, one can easily
imagine what it would be like, once the movie is released.
The movie has raised a question among his fans - whether Rajini will
get into politics and if the movie will provide an answer to it.
Rajini also dropped a bombshell within days of the launch function!
He issued a public notice banning anyone or any organisation using
his costumes, imitating his style or mannerisms, pictures, symbols,
for commercial or other purposes and anyone desirous of doing so
should deal with the company authorised by him. Any violation will
attract legal action, the notice says.
Following this, Baba has become the talk of the town. A media report
says Rajini's shrewd estimate of his direct and indirect commercial
value is the reason for this announcement. The photo of a 'Baba' that
Rajini was carrying with him on the launch day has made a lot of
people curious about the identity of the person. Rajini's strength,
according to some, is his ability to keep people guessing and thus
generate a lot of interest and enthusiasm for his movies.
Some say that Rajini participates in a number of public functions
before and after the release of his movies and airs his views on
various subjects. They cite some examples to substantiate this view.
They recall Rajini talking about the bomb culture before Basha was
released. Rajini who had been silent for the last three years, after
Padayappa, has done the same thing, before Baba, these observers
point out. Away from public glare for a long time, Rajini
participated in the Tughlak anniversary celebrations, obviously not
unaware that Cho would talk politics, these sources point out. Rajini
needs this kind of forum, they add. Rajini did not react to Cho's
open invitation to head a third front in the State.
Rajini's daughter Aiswarya, in an interview said that Rajini should
enter politics. 'Wouldn't Rajini have been aware of what his daughter
was going to speak?' is the question raised by some people. Rajini is
making a lot of tongues wag by naming his company, 'Lotus'. This is a
well thought out ploy to make people wonder if this meant he was
supporting BJP or not! It is indeed naive to believe that Rajini did
not know that 'Lotus' referred to BJP, says a film journalist.
There are others who offer a different explanation, "All these are
mere coincidences. It is not correct to link this to Baba. One cannot
assume that his fans' enthusiasm or goading or someone's invitation
to don some mantle has his approval. It is also incorrect to deduce
they reflect his thoughts."
"Rajini is not interested in politics. His objective is to sell his
movie and he is doing what is necessary to achieve that," according
to some others. These people point to various examples in support of
their arguments. "Japan is a good market for Rajini. His
movie 'Muthu' was a phenomenal success in Japan. Keeping this in
mind, Rajini has cast an actress from Japan, in Baba.
Very sure of his strengths, he produces his own movies. That is why
the public notice, too. For him business is most important. He
doesn't mix politics with business," says a production executive in
the industry. The fact is a variety of views and opinions emanating
from different sources have raised the expectations high, for Baba.
Are we going to see Rajini as a political campaigner or are we going
to see Rajini in the role of a god man is being debated endlessly in
every nook and corner. Rajini is adding to the mystery by keeping
mum, as is his wont. His fans expect him to take the plunge into
politics. They are waiting for a clear answer from the superstar,
they say.
At least after Baba, Rajini has to break his silence; otherwise his
fans may become permanently silent. Be that as it may, Baba is sure
to break all box office records.

whynot
I do not understand why u posted that article about "Manisha's alcoholic ways" in this thread.
I do not see any connection to Baba.
All i can understand from that article is that the reporter has never gotten drunk before.

Raja, thanks for the links.
sarat, it has become a habit in this thread to share tidbits on anything to do wit Baba, including the heroines. IK earlier posted an article which talked about how MK (Manisha) was finding it hard to keep up wit the strict discipline required at Baba. A comedian almost lost his role for turning up 18mins late...and MK has a reputation for turning up late for all her shootings wit a bad hangover, due to her addictions, and was forced to make a change for Baba..So I thought tis article jus added on to it.
