Speaking to Firstpost after the film he said, “Radhika Apte and Dhansika have given stellar performances in the film.” “The film has an emotional connect with the audience. Rajinikanth’s punch lines are great. The action in the film is extraordinary,” he adds. A fan of Rajinikanth, the Fashion director has previously watched his other films like Robot, Sivaji and Thalapathy at the theatre. The director was set to go out of town on Friday but he changed his plans to watch the morning show of the Rajinikanth film. Sharing his experience, he said, “It was a euphoric moment. It was a great experience watching people worshiping their superstar. There was a South Indian band playing music in the morning. Everything was so huge and beyond imagination.” Though Bhandarkar doesn’t understand Tamil, he still loved the film. “I don’t understand the language, but one can understand the film through the emotions and the portrayal of the story.” So will we be seeing the Bollywood director join hands with the South superstar? Bhandarkar laughs off the question, saying, “Nothing as of now.” Watch the video here:
