It was in the climax that I understood why it was so successful, and I started clapping.” I liked the film till the interval, but it still amazed me how it turned out to be a huge success. When I was keen on watching Viswasam, its producer arranged a special screening for me. Both the films were super hits at the box-office. He said, “Petta showed me in a stylish avatar, and it was released alongside Viswasam. Both films did well and Rajinikanath expressed his interest in watching Viswasam. The actor was impressed with the director’s previous work in the film Viswasam which was released at the same time as his film Petta did. “At the end of the narration, I started crying, and I hugged him,” he added. He told me he needs two and a half hours of my time and three bottles of water.” He further said that after hearing the script of Annaatthe, he cried and hugged Siva. He said, “In 12 days, he came with the script. He gave him 15 days to come up with a good script for him and Siva obliged.
He said that I should star in a story-based film and that it should be set in a village,” he said talking about his meeting with Annaatthe director Siva.
It left me stunned, because nobody had said that to me before. “When Siva met me, he said it was easy to make a hit film with me. The actor recently talked about his latest film Annaatthe and how it came to life. However, he is also one of the humblest and down-to-earth stars. Superstar Rajinikanth is one of the most celebrated and sought after actors in South cinema who every director wants to work with.
