Tamannaah Bhatia has been having a blockbuster 2024 with her films like Aranmanai 4 in Tamil and Stree 2 in Hindi becoming humongous successes. Talking to Raj Shamani on his podcast, Figuring Out, the actor opened up about a lot of things, including her childhood, working in South cinema, falling in love, and of course… working with Superstar Rajinikanth.
During the interaction, Tamannaah, who acted in a pivotal role in Rajinikanth-Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer, which became an industry blockbuster in 2023, spoke about the phenomenon of the Superstar’s super stardom. She said, “The most fascinating thing about Rajini sir is that he is the purest person you’d ever meet. At his age, after the sheer amount of movies he has done, and receiving so much adulation and immense fan following, he continues to remain so humble.”
Quick to point out that this humility isn’t just a facade but a genuine layer to Rajinikanth’s persona, Tamannaah said, “There is no doubt that he is a demi-god, but humility is not a put-on. Take, for instance, the time when we were shooting for the Kaavaala song in Jailer. After he finished his step, the background dancers instantaneously cheered and whistled for him. He turned around, and acknowledged their cheers, and valued their appreciation.”

Tamannaah Bhatia also explained why she believed it was important to validate fans. “Rajini sir validates his fans. Probably why I don’t understand it when creative people say they do things for themselves, and not their audience. One of the biggest actors we’ve had in Indian cinema, who has been glorified to the level of God, understands the importance of validating fans. There is a reason why very few actors become stars. Stardom is bestowed by people. When there is a mass following, and people love you, you go someplace else.”
