“I used to have stock expressions like how they have stock shots. I will apply them in my movies and it would work well” Rajinikanth said while talking about his experience on working with Manirathnam in Thalapathy. “For fear, love, shock, doubt and other emotions, I had stock expressions but Manirathnam would reject them” he said.

“He (Manirathnam) was asking for “feel” and don’t know what’s it about. In my films, the dialogues would be like “Edraa Vandiyaa” kind. But Mani was asking for “feel”. I was struggling a lot and decided to call Kamal Haasan” Rajinikanth said in the audio and trailer launch of Ponniyin Selvan.

“I called Kamal Haasan. I told him I was struggling a lot in the sets of “Thalapathy”. Each shots are taking 10-12 takes. Kamal laughed hearing my agony. He said that he too struggled in a similar way while acting in “Naayagan” of Manirathnam. He suggested me to make Mani act and pretend like I observed his acting. I did the same and copied the acting of Manirathnam, shots started getting OK” said Rajinikanth and thanked Kamal Haasan on stage.

“We used to cheat Manirathnam in such ways” Rajinikanth said. Watch the video below :
