Rajini to Inagurate IFFI ?
Rajini to Inagurate IFFI ?
Major hullabaloo is brewing between Bollywood and Kollywood, on who will inaugurate the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in December?
The south Indian film industry wants their Superstar Rajnikanth, while the North wants veteran actor Dharmendra to be the chief guest at the function. There is powerful lobbying going on between the two factions.
Always when Indian movies are showcased it is Bollywood which dominates, while regional cinema is treated like poor country cousins. The south Indian film industry has written to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, not to let Bollywood dominate. They have also asked for more number of delegate passes at the festival.
Meanwhile the south Indian film industry is also putting pressure on a reluctant Rajnikanth to be the chief guest at IFFI in Goa. If Rajni agrees to inaugurate the Goa film festival, it will be another feather on his cap.
