Usually, Young Filmmakers don't get the chance to work with Superstars like Rajinikanth. In that way, 'Kabali' Director Pa.Ranjith is so lucky as he bagged the golden opportunity within a short period after making his directorial debut. For someone as Young as him, Directing a Superstar is always going to be challenge and hence the toughest part will be the first few days of shoot.
Initially, Ranjith was so scared to ask Rajinijanth for retakes. After 3-4 retakes, He lacked the courage to say 'One More' and he even apologized to him at one point. That's when Rajini noticed the nervousness and took him aside to say, 'Don't bother about my star status. You just ask any number of retakes until you were satisfied'. These words gave the comfort level for the Director to shoot the movie the way he wanted it to be.
Even Dhansika who plays a Lady Don in 'Kabali' have similar experience with the Superstar for the first two days. Director and Cameraman helped her overcome it and given her best shot.
