There’s no escaping the Rajini mania if you enter Tamil Nadu, and it doesn’t matter if you aren’t a Tamilian, fed on Tamil movies. Young actress Namitha, who has acted with most of our top heroes, calls herself one of Rajini’s biggest fans, with the dream of acting with him one day.

Namitha, who is best known as the sex siren of the industry, says acting with Rajini is a big bonus for any actress. Gautami, who was launched in his film ‘Guru Sishyan’, or Nayantara, who struck gold in her second film as his heroine, have reached dizzying heights largely due to their popularity as Rajini’s heroine.

And Namitha does not want to be let out in the race. “He is a phenomenal actor and it is nothing short of a blessing to work with him. If I act with him, I know I have achieved the pinnacle in my career,” she explains.

Is Rajini’s next director listening?
