Rajini grateful for ‘Petta’ success
Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is happy that his latest movie Petta has been warmly received by fans.
“First, I express my new year and Pongal wishes to one and all. I came to know that the movie is liked by everyone. Very happy for that. The credits should go to Sun Pictures [producer], Karthik Subbaraj [director] and his unit,” Rajinikanth said.
He said that his main priority as an actor was to meet the expectations of his fans.
“My job is to make them happy. That is very important. I am happy that they are happy. As I said earlier, the credits should go to Karthik Subbaraj. He made sure that he got the best from me in every shot, every scene,” he said.
Petta hit screens in India amid much fanfare, with two couples even choosing the occasion to tie the knot. Fans danced to drumbeats and poured milk on huge cut-outs of the 69-year-old actor outside theatres across Tamil Nadu, which has become a tradition with all Rajinikanth releases.
The film’s cast also includes Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vijay Sethupathy, Simran, Trisha and actor-director Sasikumar. Petta is currently out in the UAE.
