This meeting comes on the heels of Rajinikanth's open letter in which he gave a glowing review of the film, describing it as the Kurinji flower, which only blooms once in 12 years. Rajinikanth suggested that a movie like Jigarthanda Double X is as precious and unique as the Kurinji flower. 

Rajinikanth also heaped praises on Raghava Lawrence, expressing surprise over his ability to deliver such a range of performances. He also praised SJ Suryah, Santhosh Narayanan and other members of the film's cast and crew. 

Rajinikanth's high price must be the icing on the cake for the team behind Jigarthanda Double X, which is also doing well at the box office. 

It's noteworthy that Karthik has paid a rich homage to the cinematic legacy of Rajinikanth in Jigarthanda Double X. The pivotal moment in the narrative, is when Raghava Lawrence's Caesar decides to become the first dark-skinned hero of Tamil cinema. The notion that lighter skin was a must-have for anyone who aspired to become a leading man in Tamil cinema was rendered obsolete with the arrival of Rajinikanth in the late 1970s. 

Karthik also revealed earlier that his dream cast for Jigarthanda Double X was not Raghava Lawrence, and SJ Suryah, but Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
