AVM's Herculean effort in bringing together Rajinikanth and Shankar for Sivaji is the talk of the town.
The coming together of the combo has thrilled industry men and the film buffs alike.
M S Guhan, son of AVM Saravanan, who was instrumental in bringing the two together says, 'it just happened by sheer accident.
My father called up Rajinikanth to invite him for Tirupathi (AVM's next film starring Ajith).He immediately agreed and even blessed for the success of the film.
'When he visited our studio, I had a desire to have him act in our production house again. However I kept it close to my heart.
When I informed my wish to my father, he asked Rajinikanth, who had no hesitation in accepting it. Then I thought the right man to direct the movie would be Shankar. He too magnanimously accepted when we approached him'.
Rajini was impressed with the one line story that Shankar had in mind. It was Shankar who came up with the title Sivaji. Rajini was thrilled with this title, he adds.
