Mumbai, december 11: The super star of Tamil films, Rajnikant, his wife Lata and their daughters saw ‘PAA’ at a special screening for them in Chennai.
Rajni who has worked with Amitabh in Hindi films made in the Eighties like ‘Andhaa Kanoon’, ‘Giraftaar’ (bringing Amitabh, Rajnikant and Kamal Haasan for the first time) and ‘Hum’ was in tears throughout the film and towards the end.
After seeing the film he said, ‘I have always been a great fan of Amitji. I have had the honour of working with him and watching his work down the year but what he has done in this film is unbelievable. I have seen many other great performances by both Indian and Hollywood actors but I have never seen anything like this. Amitji is the greatest. I don’t think anyone else would be able to play the role he has played in ‘PAA’. My admiration for Amitji has grown thousand times more for Amitji and I know my praising his performance means nothing when the whole country is only talking about his performance.”
