Koreans Will Taste Bollywood Masala (The Korea Times)

An opinion article in The Korea Times by an Indian on his experiences in Korea particularly those that relate to Bollywood. The most interesting part of the article is where the author says that most of the Indian movies he found in video stores were Rajnikath flicks. He then goes on to say:

This actor is tremendously popular in Japan too. During World Cup Soccer 2002, Rajanikanth provided much kicks for Japan that was playing co-host to the World Cup football. He was as popular as Beckam, Owen or Ronaldo there.

I wish he would have expanded on the 'provided much kicks for Japan' phrase.
