Tamannaah Bhatia praises Rajinikanth's stardom and down-to-earth persona: 'He is a demi-god but humility is an actual thing'

Tamannaah Bhatia recently shared her experiences of working with Rajinikanth in the Nelson Dilipkumar directorial Jailer and described Rajinikanth as one of the most genuine people she has ever met.
During an interview on Raj Shamani's podcast, Tamannaah praised Rajinikanth’s humility, noting that despite his long and successful career, he remains incredibly down-to-earth. “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,” she said.
She recalled a moment during the shoot of the song Kaavaalaa, where after Rajinikanth performed a dance step, the background dancers erupted in cheers. "There is no doubt that he is a demi-god, but humility is not a put-on. It is an actual thing… Take, for instance, the time when we were shooting for the Kaavaala song in Jailer. He did the step once and after the first cut, all the background dancers cheered and they were screaming and hooting. He was like he turned back and he waved at them and he gave them that acknowledgement that he values their existence. He validates his fans,” she explained.

The song Kaavaalaa, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and sung by him along with Shilpa Rao, became a viral hit and one of the biggest songs of the year. Arunraja Kamaraj wrote the lyrics for the track.

On the work front, Tamannaah was last seen in Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, and Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani.
