Any heroine on this earth will take it as a precious opportunity to work besides Rajinikanth at least in one film of her life time. Sonakshi Sinha is imported from Bollywood to South for the sake of romancing Rajinikanth in ‘Lingaa’ and the actress feels this as her lucky first step into South. However, first time sharing the screen with Rajini means a great feeling of honor and Sonakshi put the same in her own words.
‘Actually, Rajini Sir is a good friend of my dad. They both share wonderful relation. When I said Rajini sir on feeling nervous on the first day of shooting, he laughed at me saying, ‘why should you feel nervous, it is me who has to feel nervous for acting besides my friend’s daughter. You should be happy and cheerful.’ Later on for each and every scene, he encouraged me to perform better and better. More than a Super Star, he is a down to earth and superb human being which I liked in him,’ Sonakshi said.
