Jackie Chan’s antics in Chennai


There are many reports that say Jackie Chan has proved that all that glitters is not gold.
We always thought before his arrival here to participate in the 'Dasavataram' function that Jackie Chan was a simple man and a jolly person who talks very humorously. But those who had witnessed Jackie Chan's antics tell differently. The news that appeared in the press is as follows:

He had hesitated about participating, as it was an audio release function. He agreed only after the offer of crores of Rupees.

Rooms were reserved in a 5 star hotel in Chennai for his stay. There they prepare all kinds of cuisine including Chinese to cater to their customers. But Jackie Chan refused all that food. He had brought special chefs from Hong Kong along with him.

He refused to drink the mineral water and he insisted on getting imported mineral water.Many fans and actors were waiting to see and meet him, but he refused to meetanyone. On the pretext of having to take rest, he stayed behind in his room.Mallika Sheravat, the glamour queen of Hindi films alone was with him, and she used to come out to show her face now and then.

No one else was admitted into his room. He has said 'no' even to the Malayalam superstar Mammooty who was staying on the same floor of the hotel. Even the producer, who had spent crores in producing 'Dasavataram' could not enter his room or speak to him. Even he had to send information only through Mallika.

Jackie Chan came out of the room only after Mallika went to the stadium andgave clearance that everything was ok. Asked if he would like to meet India's superstar Amitabh Bachchan who had come to take part in the function, he casually brushed aside the request saying, "Who, bachan? I don't know anyone".

But while speaking at the function, he praised everyone sky high.
