He is deified by his fans down south. Rajnikant, the mega star of Tamil industry was moved to tears while watching Amitabh Bachchan’s film Paa at a special screening held in Chennai recently. Rajnikant saw the film with his wife Lata and daughters and was left deeply impressed by Big B’s performance as a 12-year-old child suffering from progeria. Towards the film’s end, Rajnikant was in tears.“I have seen many other great performances by both Indian and Hollywood actors but I have never seen anything like this.
Amitji is the greatest. I don’t think anyone else would be able to play the role he has played in ‘Paa’,” Rajnikant is quoted to have said after watching the film. The superstar went on to add that his admiration of Mr. Bachchan has increased manifold after seeing his stupendous performance in ‘Paa’.Rajnikant and Amitabh have been friends since many years. They have worked together in the 80s films like ‘Andhaa Kanoon’ and ‘Giraftaar’ and later on in ‘Hum’ in which Rajni played Big B’s younger brother.
Mr. Bachchan himself has praised Rajnikant on many occasions. Incidentally, his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai is working with Rajni in the upcoming film Endhiran.
