Rajinikanth also attended the event and recalled his conversation with Mani Ratnam. He said, “I wanted to be a part of Ponniyin Selvan. Asked Mani to give me Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar. I said I'll do a special appearance. Mani asked me 'do you want me to get bashed by your fans?' Anyone else would have agreed, but Mani didn't. That's Mani Ratnam."
