Rajinikanth

God gave me an actor's role; I have done that well. God gave me now a political role, and I am 100 per cent sure I will perform that well.

My brother was my first guru who introduced me to spiritualism at a very young age. He later even enrolled me into Ramakrishna Mission.

They say not everyone can be MGR. I agree. MGR is a revolutionary. Not in a 1,000 years can there be another MGR. If anyone says he will be the next MGR, he is insane. But I have the confidence that I can give the government that MGR gave to the people of Tamil Nadu.

I go to the Himalayas after every film. I go alone. I go to the interiors, to the villages. Being there itself is like meditation.

I grew as an actor just by watching Kamal Haasan acting. I had the good fortune of being able to observe Kamal Haasan from close quarters.

There are lot of people who speak about superstardom, but I'd like to say that it's not about any individual - it's about the opportunity.

The truth is, hero of '2.0' is not Rajinikanth but Akshay Kumar. If I was given a choice, I would have taken that character. Hats off to Akshay. He has worked so hard.
