Deepika Padukone has commented ‘Rajinikanth is as exuberant as a child. Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth are the best artistes I have come across in India cinemas.’

In a recent interview Deepika Padukone gave, she said ‘Due to fear that I am acting with Rajini Sir I felt like I had mental stress.  But the moment I entered the set, I forgot everything and concentrated on my character.  This happened with movie ‘Om Shanthi Om’ also’

‘When taking into account ‘Kochadaiyaan’, the amazing feature was Rajini’s simplicity and enthusiasm.’

‘Rajini does not have those guiles and wiles and is exuberant as a child.  I have never come across a person as enthusiastic as Rajini.’

‘Rajini is very particular that there should be no flaw in any scene.  He is prepared to deliver several times such that the scene turns perfect.’

‘I have seen discipline in duty with only Rajini and Amitabh.  Look at their eyes… you will know their love for cinema.’
