Rajinikanth’s unique style and energy on the sets

During an interview with Puthiya Thalaimurai, Meena said, "Rajini sir has played so many different roles. He even played three roles in the same film. He has shown uniqueness not only in his acting but also in the energy and style he has in each scene. As soon as the news comes that he is coming to the set, there is a new excitement in everyone. The speed and energy with which he arrives will spread to those nearby."

'Muthu' shooting incident and fan rush

Recalling her experiences, Meena added, “Rajini sir always walks fast. During the shooting of 'Muthu', the shooting was going on outdoor. There were no bouncers for security then. The fans came towards us in large numbers. By the time I stood up, Rajini sir had gone far away. I was scared and cried. The assistants and light men protected me."

Meena's memorable days with Rajinikanth

After the incident, director K.S. Ravikumar and Rajinikanth came to console her, Meena said. “It happened during the shooting of the Maharani scene. After that, I truly walked like a queen. Rajini sir walks with the same pace even today. Even his wife cannot follow that pace. I told him this as a joke."
