Dhanush's speech from Sakka Podu Podu Raja audio launch:
"What you think, you will become that person someday, all it takes is some effort. Santhanam is a classic example to prove that saying. I could see your hard work in your dance and dialogue delivery. I have worked in two films with Santhanam. While working in Polladhavan, I told Vetri Maaran that Santhanam would become big one day. He used to speak Chennai slag very correctly even during then.
Nextly, about today's hero, Simbu, we both entered the film scene together in 2002. From then, we have been considered as competitors. Both of us have had our own share of victories and failures. It has been 15 years. He is still in the top of the league.
Simbu is born to be a star unlike me who became a hero accidentally. Ashok Rajan master who used to train me to dance 17 years back used to ask me to watch Simbu's dance video to improve my dance. I watched the video and told master how could I dance like him? Even today I don't think I could dance like him. Simbu is an all-rounder, even at 21 years, he took the huge responsibility of directing a film.
Simbu, just like me, your fans don't expect anything from you. But please give two films for them every year. That is your duty and hope you will satisfy my wish."
Cinematographer-actor Natarajan, better known as Natty, is a happy man, with his latest as actor Richie releasing today, December 8. In an exclusive interview with us, he revealed his thoughts on big celebrity stalwarts like Dhanush, Vijay, AR Murugadoss, Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan and many others.
He was all praises for Vijay and ARM. "Vijay is an amazing man, filled with humanity. If he finds anyone on the set dull, he will look into it and try to sort it out. He is a person who will do anything for friendship," he said on Vijay.
"AR Murugadoss is a most innovative person, forever trying to bring new things with his top-notch clarity in thought. He would interact with every person on set and use their inputs he finds valuable."
