What Tamannaah said about Rajinikanth

During the chat, when Tamannaah was asked about working with Rajinikanth and sharing her take on why people love him so much, she said, “The most fascinating thing about Rajini sir is that he is the purest person you’d ever meet. At his age, after the sheer amount of movies he has done, and receiving so much adulation and immense fan following, he continues to remain so humble.”

Tamannaah went on to stress that this humility is not just a put-on but a genuine part of Rajinikanth’s personality. “There is no doubt that he is a demi-god, but humility is not a put-on. It is an actual thing… Take, for instance, the time when we were shooting for the Kaavaala song in Jailer. He did the step once and after the first cut, all the background dancers cheered and they were screaming and hooting. He was like he turned back and he waved at them and he gave them that acknowledgement that he values their existence. He validates his fans,” she added.
