(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Many directors try to make a movie with Superstar Rajinikanth. Some of them might have been rejected. But do you know which director rejected Rajinikanth himself?

Rajinikanth is a superstar in Indian cinema. His films are popular not just in South India but also in Bollywood and overseas, especially Japan. At 74, he still rules the market.

It's every director's dream to work with a superstar like Rajinikanth. In his long career, he has rejected directors, but one director rejected him: SS Rajamouli. Why?

After his hit 'Magadheera,' Rajamouli was offered a Rajinikanth film by Sun Pictures. He rejected it, fearing he couldn't meet the massive fan expectations for a superstar.

Rajamouli then made smaller films like 'Maryada Ramanna' and 'Eega.' Their success gave him the confidence to create the epic 'Baahubali' series, a historic success.
