When Thalaivar Calls: Malavika Mohanan's Star-Struck Moment with Rajinikanth After 'Master'

Actress Malavika Mohanan recently shared an exhilarating anecdote that highlights the incredible power of a superstar's appreciation. It was after the massive success of her film 'Master' that she received a call she would never forget – from none other than 'Thalaivar' himself, Rajinikanth. The legendary actor personally reached out to compliment her, a gesture that left the young actress utterly delighted and star-struck.

Mohanan, who played an integral role in the Vijay-starrer 'Master', recounted the moment on News18, expressing her disbelief and excitement.

"Rajinikanth watched the movie and called me and he said, 'You look so pretty in the film. You did a good job and you look so pretty.'" she shared. For any actor, receiving such praise from a titan of Indian cinema is an immense honor, but for Malavika, a self-professed huge fan of Rajinikanth, it was a truly unforgettable experience, describing it as a "big deal" for her.

The superstar's keen eye for talent and his tradition of personally congratulating those who impress him is well-known.

Malavika revealed that Rajinikanth watches every film and doesn't hesitate to call if he likes someone's work. This personal touch from a living legend speaks volumes about his humility and passion for cinema, making his compliments even more valuable to those who receive them.

Adding to her incredible streak of appreciation from industry stalwarts, Malavika Mohanan also mentioned a similar heart-warming experience involving Kamal Haasan.

The 'Ulaganayagan' had called her after her performance in 'Petta', another significant film in her career, to share his positive feedback. To receive personal calls and compliments from both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, two of the most revered figures in Indian cinema, is a rare and prestigious achievement for any actor, underscoring Malavika's growing prominence and talent.

With a diverse filmography that includes 'Master', 'Petta', and her latest Malayalam release 'Christy', Malavika Mohanan continues to captivate audiences and critics alike.

Her journey in the industry is certainly one to watch, especially with such legendary endorsements paving her way.
