Stars make movies for us. They also design their offices, their workplaces, hideouts or their outlets, whatever you like to call it. Each office is distinct, bearing a stamp of the personality who works there. So, what does your favorite star’s office look like? Here we have, exclusivities on the offices of top 20 celebrities of Kollywood.

VIJAY

What catches your eye as you enter Vijay’s office is a life size cut out of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, poised to play a shot. Well, all that might have to change because Sachin is a Mumbai Indian while Vijay is a Chennai Superkings ambassador.

KAMAL HAASAN

He loves cinema and wants to watch it any time he wants to, show them to his friends, family or visitors and that’s why he has a mini theater with about a seating capacity of 20 where he watches all films that he wants to. There is also a spiral staircase in the interior just wide enough for one person to walk, tastes that are beyond our understanding.

RAJINIKANTH

If you know a lot about Superstar then it might not be tough to predict what you will find there. Definitely a big picture of Sri Raghavendra and then there is a photo where Rajini is seen with many children of an orphanage. Simplicity-defines the Superstar and his office as well.

SHANKAR

His feel for grandeur doesn’t go amiss in his office either. With an indoor pool where you can see a variety of exotic fishes swimming around, Shankar’s office is an aesthetic treat. He likes to keep looking at the pond from time to time, especially during story discussions.

MANI RATNAM

Many of his films might have been shot in low light but his office is always bright with evening light. How’s that? Well, we are not very sure. We only know that Mani Ratnam’s office illumination is such that you always feel its evening, even during prolonged power cuts.

SELVARAGHAVAN

His office is just like one of his movies, simple and to the point. On a wall hangs a letter by Mani Ratnam in appreciation of Kadhal Kondaen, a possession he treasures.

SILAMBARASAN

A look inside and you will understand how secular a person Silambarasan is. Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are held in equal reverence here and then there are the memoirs of the golden era of T Rajendar and his super hits- a collection of shields of victories.

VISHAL

Quite simple, suggesting that he is a down to earth guy who puts family first. You can see a big photo of Vishal at a very young age with his elder brother Vikram. Both of them look bulky and surprisingly different from the fit bodies that they have now. Some transformation!

BHARATHIRAJA

Now, this is interesting. A hidden camera in the visitors room which Bharathiraja uses to observe all those who come knocking for an opportunity. Napoleon was one of the first beneficiaries of this unique method of casting, getting his break with Pudhu Nellu Pudhu Naattu

VIKRAM

A touch of heritage or history, whatever you like to call it. A mini terracotta army, somewhat resembling the ancient Chinese emperor’s tomb. Proudly on display is a letter of appreciation by K. Balachander and one by ex C.M. Jayalalitha for his services to Tsunami victims.

LINGUSAMY

His office is certainly a bit different, showing that he is still a student of cinema. With lots of books on movies and photos of many great men who can be called the ‘Fathers of cinema’, Lingusamy’s office might be a good place for those who want to learn about cinema.

CHERAN

He seems to be akin to the character he created in Thavamai Thavamirundhu, parents first. His office has a big photo of a moment captured when he had taken his parents to the Taj Mahal.

VIVEK

His comedy always has a message ad his office has one too. Lots of books placed in a shelf shaped like an eye showing that books are to be read. There is also a photo of Vivek receiving an award from A.P.J. Abdul Kalam- inspirational and invaluable.

GOUNDAMANI

This veteran laugh maker seems to have an eye for antiques. In his office you can see a classic gramophone of yore and a number of metal statues of a very old style of sculpting that look genuinely look period, though we don’t know whether they are skilled imitations.

VADIVELU

His office has a photograph of Murugesan, his close associate and manager who passed away recently. It is known that Murugesan had guided and helped Vadivelu a lot during his formative years.

JEYAM RAVI

Three photos hold places of prominence. Two are from family, one with brother Jeyam Raja and the other of his father Editor Mohan and brother switching on a camera. He third photo is however unrelated, that of Thomas Alva Edison. Now is Ravi a huge fan of Edison, the world’s most prolific inventor.

PARTHIBAN

He is known for not keeping any one design scheme in place for long. The current flavor being his poems, drawings and a lot of cute birds to welcome visitors. Only he knows what is next.

AJITH

Ajith is an intuitive person, we might think after visiting his office. Right in front of his seat is a board with a magnet at its center. It is said that the Ultimate Star aims at the bull’s eye with another magnet before taking important decisions. Is this some form of stress relief or a Steve Waugh style of idiosyncrasy?
