irukkalaam Ajay. But there is a difference between Bachchan and Rajni, at least their fans. I don't think Bachchan's fans will accept movies where their idol romances young heroines at this age. Most of Rajni's fans don't see that as a problem. Rajni is a very good actor but he has to satisfy his fans. I don't think many of his fans would accept another "Johnny" or "Mullum Malarum". They want to see their hero romance a young girl, utter a few punch dialogues, bash up goons, and lip sync to a motivational song. Rajni's movies come out with big expectations and that raises the cost (for the distributors) also. While he could afford to take risks, the cine people who depend on him cannot. It is a business, after all. People may say all they want about purity of art and all such nonsense but at the end of the day what makes the world go round is money

And it is not like Bachchan's and Balki's movies are all artistic either. The gimmick of casting Amitabh Bachchan in the role of a progeria child in "Paa" was pathetic.
