Amitabh Bachchan is my inspiration says Rajinikanth
Megastar Rajinikanth who has worked with Amitabh Bachchan in films like ‘Andha Kanoon’, ‘Hum’ and ‘Geraftaar’ has said that he considers 77 year old legendary actor as his inspiration. He added that Bachchan has advised him to exercise regularly, to be busy and to not enter into politics.
Rajinikanth was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of ‘Darbar’ along with his co-actors Suniel Shetty, Prateik Babbar, film’s director AR Murugadoss, cinematographer Santosh Sivan, music composer Anirudh Ravichander and singer Armaan Malik on Monday in Mumbai.
Rajinikanth is not just a revered public figure in South India but he has fans all across the world, when asked him to whom he look up to in his life, he said, “I have told many times… its Amitabh Bachchan. He is my inspiration. He inspires me not only in front of camera but off screen as well.”
When asked Rajinikanth what are his memories working with Amitabh Bachchan in films, he said, “There are many moments. He (Amtiabh Bachchan) loves me. A few years back in Chennai, he told me that ‘after turning 60, you should be careful of three things. Do exercise regularly’ and second thing he told me that ‘be busy. Do whatever you want and don’t bother about what people say to you. After getting up, get out of the house’ and third thing he told me that ‘don’t enter into politics’.”
Rajinikanth added, “I have followed his first two advises but third thing, I couldn’t follow because of the circumstances. So, I have learnt so many things from him. People say I do comedy and other characters very well but I have learnt from Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan).".
