Rajini is one of the greatest actors we have – Sharuk khan

It is common knowledge that the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, is a big fan of Superstar Rajinikanth’s and shares a great rap port with him too, one that led to Rajini agreeing to appear in a cameo in SRK’s Ra One. Khan later also launched the audio of the film’s Tamil version in Chennai, with Rajini’s daughter, Soundarya, being part of the event.

More recently, SRK collaborated with rapper Honey Singh for a song, Thalaivar Tribute (Lungi Dance), saying it was a tribute to his long time friend, actor Rajinikanth.

Interestingly, when Honey Singh and T Series’ Bhushan Kumar approached SRK a few days ago with a song dedi cated to veteran actor, Rajinikanth, who has been addressed affectionate ly as Thalaivar, the latter was only too happy to be a part of it. “Who isn’t a fan of `The Rajinikanth’? I had met Honey Singh and Bhushan Kumar five days back and they made me hear the song, titled Thalaivar Tribute (Lungi Dance). I found it very apt for Rajini sir and wanted to be a part of it as a fan of one of the greatest actors we have,“ the B’town actor is said to have remarked. The song is fun, happy and completely Rajinikanth style, he added.

His Chennai Express co-star, Deepika Padukone, who shares screen space with Rajini in Kochadaiyaan, has also shaken a leg in the special number. Sources say that King Khan agreed to be a part of the dedication because its theme is very close to that of Chennai Express. Composed, written and sung by Honey Singh, the song has been choreographed by top choreographer Chinni Prakash

Sharuk khan Praised Ajith

‘விருது விழாவில் அஜீத் பெயரை நான் சொன்னபோது அரங்கு நிரம்பிய கைதட்டல் கிடைத்தது. இந்தியில் ‘அசோகா’ என்ற படத்தில் என்னுடன் அஜீத் நடித்தபோது அவரது அன்பை உணர்ந்தேன். அவர் தமிழ்நாட்டில் இவ்வளவு பெரிய நடிகராக இருப்பார் என்று என்னால் அப்போது எண்ணிப் பார்க்க முடியவில்லை. ‘அசோகா’ படத்தில் நடித்ததற்காக அவர் சம்பளம்கூட வாங்கிக் கொள்ளவில்லை. கொடுத்த கால்ஷீட்டைவிட கூடுதலாக 5 நாட்கள் நடித்துக் கொடுத்தார். அவரை எனக்கு நன்கு தெரியும். சமீபகாலமாக அவரை மிஸ் செய்கிறேன்’’ இப்படி அஜீத்தை புகழ்ந்து தள்ளுகிறார் பாலிவுட் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ஷாருக்கான்.
