'Darbar' will be magical: Rajinikanth

Superstar Rajinikanth was greeted with loud cheers at the pre-release event of his upcoming Tamil-Telugu film 'Darbar' in Hyderabad on Friday.

"I didn't expect that this event will be this big. NV Prasad garu usually goes in for low-profile events. I guess he is damn sure that 'Darbar' will be a big hit.

I am still the lead man at this age only because of the love of fans, the encouragement they show. The Telugus love me as much as the Tamils. My movies have done very well in Telugu not just because of me.

During the making of a film, some magic has to happen. But that's not in our hands. 'Darbar' felt like magic during the making stage. I had been waiting to work with Murugadoss for years. Producer Subaskaran is a very good friend of mine.

He is such a good man and a huge businessman,' said the actor. B-town actor Suniel Shetty said that "All actors have copied something or the other from Rajnikanth. Being grounded and being a good human being is more important than anything else in the world."

Nivedha Thomas adds, "Rajini sir films are not seen as dubbed movies by the Telugu audience. Murugadoss believed that I can do justice to this role and I thank him for that."

Dil Raju, Maruthi, Vamsi Paidipally, Harris Shankar and Anirudh also spoke on the occasion.
