Rajinikanth praises Amitabh

Tamil Super Star Rajinikanth, who is all set to celebrate his 60th birthday on Saturday, watched director Balki’s much-acclaimed Bollywood film Paa on Wednesday evening along with his wife Lata and two daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya in a special screening at Four Frames preview theatre in Chennai.

After the show, the superstar said: "I have always been a great fan of Amitji. I have had the honour of working with him and watching his work down the years, but what he has done in this film is unbelievable." Notably, Rajinikanth has worked with Amitabh in many Hindi films during the 80's, including Andhaa Kanoon, Giraftaar and Hum.

"I have seen many great performances by both Indian and Hollywood actors, but I have never seen anything like this. Amitji is the greatest. I don't think anyone else would be able to play the role he has played in Paa," Rajinikanth praised Amitabh's performance in Paa.

"My admiration for Amitji has grown thousand times more for Amitji and I know my praising his performance means nothing when the whole country is only talking about his performance," the superstar was quoted as saying.
