However, he was too scared to approach the superstar as he was a budding filmmaker at that time. But when Rajinikanth saw the film, he said he felt that he was watching himself on the screen.  “…He told me whenever you have any role for me just approach me… I did not know whether he will do a film with a director who is just one film old or not. When I saw that he worked with Pa Ranjith on Kabali, who is two-films-old, I became confident,” Subbaraj said.
