While showering compliments on Ram Charan after watching 'Chirutha', Rajnikanth had answered to a volley of questions from the film journalists.

Replying to a question he says, 'My recent film 'Sivaji' which was released recently was a blockbuster. I will play in a film only when I get one such fantastic subject. Otherwise, I don't go for acting because there are high expectations on my forthcoming film and if I can't reach those expectations, I will make my fans and audiences disappointed. I don't want that situation. At the same time, I have no mood to take up direction as well. As of now, there are no such plans, but I can't say whether I may wield the megaphone in future or not.'

However, there were rumours in the Kollywood that chances were high that Rajnikanth is going to play in a film to be directed by Maniratnam.
