We all know that Rajini’s Muthu was released as "Dancing Maharaja"
in Japan and the movie was a great success. Marketers have tried to
cash in on the Rajini craze and have introduced an Indian namkeen
(snack) product, which has Rajini and Meena on the cover. The
product is called Garam Masala.
Says a Japanese Blogger!.
Listen to what this man says about "Muthu"..
They sing songs and dance,when they are happy.They sing songs and
dance,when they are sad. And they sing songs and dance,even if they
have no reasons. In fact,they are singing and dancing in the better
part of the movie. Also,you mustn't miss the scene of chasing by
the horse and cart.This movie was a big hit in India,and also in
Japan. Actually I love it.
Recently I found a Muthu's photo at a convenience store.It was on a
package of snacks.This is a snack named "Garam masala" that is on
the confectionery maker Tohato. Usually, I don't really eat
snacks,but I found myself buying it. 42 kinds of spices are used to
make it,so taste is really spicy.
After I ate it,I unconsciously felt like seeing the "Muthu"
again.
If you have a chance,I recommend to see the "Muthu" and eat
it.
Have you heard of this ?
Tour operators in Japan organize Dancing Maharaja tours wherein the
tourists are brought to Chennai and they are taken to a movie hall,
which shows a Rajini movie. After this they meet up with Rajini /
Latha Rajinikanth.ajinikanth's charm works like magic in the island
nation of Japan.No other Indian actor had achieved the kind of
popularity that Rajini has in Japan. His film 'Muthu' was a
blockbuster hit in the country. And, when he was getting ready to
release his latest flick 'Chandramukhi', his fans from Japan had
come down to Chennai to watch the film, first day, first
show.
An Indian brand of masala snacks had conducted a market study and
decided to launch its product with Rajini's picture on its wrapper
cover. They chose some stills from 'Muthu'. The product has become
a rage these days. His fans are reportedly buying the snack to
simply collect his pictures!
Some are even framing the pictures and hanging them on the
walls!!!
And the lead actresses who act with him become popular wih their
other movies as well
He also acted in a hollywood film Bloodstone in
1988
