Sivakarthikeyan, who is shooting in Kashmir, was overjoyed when Rajinikanth phoned him to heap praises on his performance in his latest movie Maaveeran .
Written and directed by Madonne Ashwin, Maaveeran is a superhero-esque movie which follows the trials and tribulations of Sivakarthikeyan's Sathya, a comic book artist. The movie recently completed 25 days at the box office, emerging as one of the biggest hits in Sivakarthikeyan's career.
While thanking all the movie-goers for making Maaveeran such a big hit, Sivakarthikeyan also recounted his phone conversation with Rajinikanth. " He (Rajinikanth) appreciated me and the entire team. He has Jailer release and other shooting commitments, and still, he took a break from his busy schedule and watched Maaveeran. Thalaivaa you are always great!," Sivakarthikeyan said.
Sivakarthikeyan, who is one of the die-hard fans of Rajinikanth in Tamil cinema, also shared the details of the conversation with the Superstar. "He told me, 'Siva I completely enjoyed it. It was grand. You had given a superb performance. And he asked me, 'You keep selecting different types of stories, no? I had goosebumps. Thank you so much, Thalaivaa. I'm your biggest fan. I will say this always and everywhere. It's a lifetime moment for me to get a call from you," he added.
Sivakarthikeyan also gave his best wishes to Rajinikanth's Jailer, which is due in cinemas on August 10 . He wished the movie to become a "mega-blockbuster" and requested "Rajinikanth to keep entertaining his fans."
Director Nelson, a close friend of Sivakarthikeyan, has written and directed Jailer. Bankrolled by Sun Pictures, it's one of the most-awaited movies of the year. Besides Rajinikanth, Jailer also stars Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi, Redin Kingsley, Vinayakan and Jaffer Sadiq.
