While I admire Rajini sir's stardom, I wish he would do more meaningful roles like Mullum Malarum instead of just style statements. But still, 50 years is no joke - respect! 🙏

The way Kamal sir and Rajini sir maintain their friendship despite being competitors shows true sportsmanship. In Bollywood they would've been arch rivals by now 😂
