Recently, Tamil filmstar Suriya caused much brouhaha with his warm remark on the legendary superstar Rajinikanth. In the candid interview, Suriya told about the boundless regard and respect he has towards that iconic star when he said it could not be but one superstar in Indian cinema and the title is owned by none other than Rajinikanth.
Suriya on Superstar Rajinikanth
During a recently conducted promotional event, Suriya was asked about why the term “superstar” came to be associated with his name. The humbly modest actor made a response that went as follows: “Only Rajini sir is a superstar, according to us. We cannot borrow the title.” This statement further sealed the reputation of Suriya as a respector of seniors and recognition of their contribution to the industry.
The Legacy of Rajinikanth
Undoubtedly the most popular and most revered cine actor in Indian cinema particularly in Tamil Nadu, Rajinikanth, has been maintaining an unmatched fan following. It’s four decades of film career with multiple blockbusters and super performance, and he is called “Superstar.” Starting from his charismatic presence on-screen to powerful dialogues, it’s extremely difficult to beat the standards he has set.
The second statement Suriya made about his hero, Rajinikanth, being a legend establishes the fact that there is, indeed, appreciation for older actors from the younger generation of actors. This explains how well the Tamil film world can gel together because an actor like Suriya knows what needs to be done regarding the respecting of their seniors and giving them the honor they deserve.
