What the Stars on the first day of the New Year

Rajinikanth with fans on new Year

Kollywood stars celebrated the dawn of the New Year 2013 in their own and unique ways. Superstar Rajinikanth led the way by meeting up with his fans at his sprawling Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam in Kodambakkam. He not only appreciated the fans for arranging a grand birthday celebration last month but also presented each of them with mementoes and wished them a happy and prosperous year ahead.

Rajini also accepted huge calendars (bearing his image) printed and brought by his fans. During an informal chat, Rajini expressed confidence that the ensuing year would be a good year for the industry in general in terms of box-office successes. Usually, Rajini’s wife Latha would distribute sweets and snacks to those who visit the house on New Year day.

This time, though, the fans were in for a surprise as Rajini himself met them, spoke to them and got himself photographed with them besides presenting them with mementoes.

Kamal was busy with his preparation the works of Vishwaroopam, convincing the theatre owner and getting the Telugu version of Vishwaroopam also to be released on Jan 11, in spite of non availability of theatres for sankranti. Its a matter of fact that his talks did succeed and Vishwaroopam Telugu version also would be released on Jan 11.

Elsewhere, actresses Samantha,Tamannaah and Kajal Aggarwal welcomed the commencement of the new year by celebrating the occasion in the midst of their respective families.

Nayanthara, however, celebrated the birth of the New Year in Dubai but was lucky to be in the company of her family members. Nayanthara, who had gone to Dubai to stay at her brother’s place, had reached the city even before Christmas. She had said last week that for the first time in many years, she celebrated Christmas with the usual spirit and happiness and amidst her family members.

At that time, she had said that she would extend her stay in Dubai by a week so as to celebrate the New Year eve. Speaking over phone, Nayan said “I had a very fruitful year in 2012 wherein I signed up many Tamil and Telugu films. I also got the prestigious Nandi Award from the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and hope this year would be as fruitful as last year both professionally as well as personally!”

Wishing all the stars a great year ahead !!
