Superstar Rajnikanth Conquers Japan! New ROBOT Trailer! New Release!

A fact that is little known in the west is that Superstar Rajnikanth, the biggest movie star in India, is something of an icon in the land of the rising sun. That's right, since the Japanese release of his film Muthu in 1998, Rajni has had quite the following in Japan, where there are dozens of fan clubs all over the place.

As a result, Superstar's last film, the megahit record breaker Enthiran (Robot) recently enjoyed a Japanese Cinema release. The article in the links below from The Japanalyst states that the film did pretty well at the box office, though I've had a hard time corroborating that information. However, whether or not the film's box office numbers are up to snuff or not became irrelevant when I found this...

That's right! Our favorite South Asian hero got his very own kickass Japanified movie trailer for Robot (which was released in its Hindi dubbed version in Japan), complete with shouting and huge graphics. Hooray!

So, for all of you ScreenAnarchy readers in Japan, the film is STILL opening in theaters across the country, I suggest you find one and grab a seat. You're in for the ride of your life!
