Rajinikanth was called an “extraordinary human” by the megastar. “His most down-to-earth living and nature .. his exceptional talent and his legendary presence among the greats of cinema .. and .. not even going into the catastrophic popularity that he has enjoyed through decades .. and the love and affection he has had towards my family and me ..” said Bachchan.
This movie, which Rajinikanth announced back in March, is his 170th endeavour. The film also stars Dushara Vijayan, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati. The soundtrack for the movie, which A Subaskaran will produce, will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
