Raghava Lawrence’s Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva finally hit the screens today, the 9th March and the credits had the actor's name prefixed with ‘Makkal Superstar’. This came as a surprise to the audience. However, Lawrence was quick to offer a clarification on this in his social media page which is as follows:
"Hi Friends and Fans!
Hope you are all enjoying the movie Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva.
The Director had told me that he would spring me a big surprise in the movie. Today it was a huge surprise to see the title 'Makkal Super Star' in my name in the movie.
I would like to state that I do not feel I deserve this title and I can only say that there is and can only be one super star and that is our Thalaivar Rajinikanth.
I am a huge fan of Super Star Rajinikanth. It is he who introduced me to this film industry. And I first saw my Raghavendra Swamy in him.
I am absolutely grateful to him in every way. I will forever remain a fan of him.
I have chosen my own title for my name and it will be that of my mother. I will henceforth be called Kanmani Raghava Lawrence in my forth coming movies! Nothing can bring me more happiness than my mother's name. No title can be equal to this!"
