Superstar Rajinikanth's Petta which released last weekend, is having a good run at the box office, not only in Tamil Nadu, but also in other parts of the world. The success meet celebration for Petta in Kerala happened recently, which was attended by Malayalam superstar Prithviraj, who happens to be the film's distributor.
While addressing the media, Prithviraj was reportedly quoted as saying, "I am a big fan of Karthik Subbaraj and I really like his works. People who love cinema will definitely like Rajinikanth, and I am also his (Rajini) fan. I come from a generation that had the luck of watching his classic films like Baasha, Annamalai and Arunachalam in the theatres.
It is not quite an easy task to write a film that celebrates a Superstar like Rajini sir. I am so happy for our Manikandan, who got to play an important role, travelling alongside Rajini sir. When I saw the film, I knew that it would become a hit, but didn't expect this kind of a celebration. I am glad that the film is performing really well all over the world.
Petta is the first film that is distributed by Prithviraj Productions, in Kerala, and in that way, the success feels good and motivates to do more good films."
