This is an extract of Sathyaraj interview from Periyar website.
In cinemas, Rajini and yourself are well known for your friendship. But sometimes your wording against Rajini is too harsh. Recently, you congratulated Rajini at Sri Lankan Tamil protest. Actually whats happening?
Actually, Rajini sir is my close friend. At Hogenekkal protest, i didn't bash him. I just reacted when Rajini sir apologized or regretted his speech to Kannada people. Those things which i uttered in the stage was misinterpreted against Rajini sir. At the same time, i congratulated him when he gave daring speech at the Sri Lankan Tamil protest.
Rajini's mannerism can attract all type of audience to his film. He is the only actor who made great number of Tamil cinema viewers and icreased good bussiness for Tamil film industry. No one can deny this. For this, i have to congratulate him.
He is also a good actor who can do better than what we see him now. Rajini sir can give better performance in movie like Onpathu Rupai Nottu. Since he is caught up with high expectation, he is unable to do such movies.
Personally, i like him very much and i have high respect for him. He takes good interest on my carreer. Rajini is a real gentleman!
