“I had a huge hesitation as Rajinikanth sir is a legend and how I could I direct him. Vijay sir broke my hesitation by saying “Just prepare a story for him. It will happen for you”. After getting the spark through his words, I decided to start preparing a story. Vijay sir kept motivating me. He said “Start preparing the story now. It will be apt to finish this project and to start that”. His positivity made things possible” said Nelson in the Vikatan’s interview.
