Superstar
Rajinikanth's 1980's film 'Murattu Kaalai' is one of the blockbuster hits of his career. While we have been hearing and seen so many instances of Rajinikanth's simplicity, here's a interesting trivia of the star actor going on a scooter to meet AVM Saravanan before the film.
As part of a trivia about their production house AVM, Aruna Guhan wrote, "‘Murattu Kaalai' was scheduled to be filmed but due to various reasons the shoot could not commence and instead shoot for the Telugu film 'Punnami Naagu' with @kchirutweets Sir began.
Post the release of Punnami Nagu, my grandfather Shri M. Saravanan sent one of our Production Managers to fix a meeting with Rajini Sir regarding his availability, to which Rajini Sir said, "Saravanan Sir needn't come to meet me. I will come myself"."
"The manager insisted that he would go back to the studio and send a car to pick Rajini Sir because he had come on a scooter and it was raining. But Rajini Sir was firm in his decision to go along with him on his scooter, and came to the studio. This incident speaks volumes of his simplicity," added Aruna Guhan.
The film produced by AVM Productions and directed by SP Muthuraman was instrumental in establishing Rajinikanth as both an action hero and superstar.
