In a surprising and first-of-its-kind interaction, ace director Mani Ratnam did something out of the box - yes, he went live on Instagram which was hosted by his wife and veteran actress, Suhasini.
Suhasini had arranged this interesting live interaction by asking the fans to send a 25 second video clip to a particular number through WhatsApp in advance. The director would pick to answer a few of them apart from answering the live questions.
When he was asked why he hasn’t acted in a film so far and if he would act when he gets an offer, the director revealed that he had once rejected the acting request from Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya Dhanush.
According to him, if he had acted and then got back to directing, the actor would point it out and say, “I saw how bad you had acted.” So, now, he can pretend to know everything and can demand the best from every actor.”
