Similarly, I don’t think Raja Chinna Roja would work with any other star than Rajinikanth,” he signs off.
This was why I refused when a popular actor approached me wanting to remake Anbe Vaa as it was a vehicle written specifically for MGR. You only have to look at what happened to the Murattu Kaalai remake. “Some films will work only with a particular star. Still, I told him to avoid any wastage and he made the film well under the reduced budget,” he praises. He is a producer’s director and always shoots economically.
So, I called up Muthuraman and told him what was happening. But they wanted us to sell at a lower price. I assured them that I’d return the amount if the film did not do well. So, the distributors came to me and requested that I reduce the distribution rates for this film. “A film that Rajini sir had acted in prior to this one did not do well. Saravanan is all praise for director SP Muthuraman, who ensured that the film was profitable for the studio. How distributors had a say over the film’s budget “The Santhome Communication Centre organised a special event to honour us for promoting noble values and gave us a memento for this song,” says Saravanan. They also wanted to address the drug culture that was picking up among college students at that time and had the song, Oru Pandpaadu Illaiyendraal. Ekanath, a technician from Hyderabad, was employed for this purpose,” he says. “We had bombs that gave out colourful smoke going off in the background. The Superstaru Yaarunu Ketta song was also added to attract kids. “As expected, this film gave him a big break as a villain,” says Saravanan.

Raghuvaran had acted in their serial Oru Manidhanin Kadhai, and impressed with him, they decided to cast him as the villain. Since Shalini was a popular child artiste then, we decided the story should revolve around her and Rajinikanth,” he elaborates. “Babu was a remake of the Malayalam film Odayil Ninnu (1965), which was inspired from the Japanese movie Rickshaw Man (1958). They decided to adapt the 1971-production Babu, which was directed by AC Trilokchander, and starred Sivaji Ganesan and Sridevi (as a child artiste). Since Manithan had done well, they decided to go with the same combination - Rajinikanth, Muthuraman and music director Chandrabose - to work on this film. We wanted it to be film targeted at kids as Rajini is extremely popular among them,” begins Saravanan. “After the success of Manithan (1987), we wanted to do a film with Rajinikanth. With the film completing 30 years on July 20, its producer AVM Saravanan shares some interesting trivia on the blockbuster. While the actor’s films have included scenes that were targeted at kids, Raja Chinna Roja is one of the very few films of the Superstar that was made with this segment of the audience in mind. One of the reasons for Rajinikanth’s superstardom is his popularity with kids.
