Sivaji salutes Sarkar!

Superstar Rajinikanth rates Big B's latest performance as his finest ever

When Rajnikanth described Amitabh Bachchan as the true emperor of Indian cinema, he meant every word. The mutual admiration that the duo have for each other is well known and the Tamil superstar proved it again by asking for a special screening of Bachchan's latest film Sarkar Raj in Chennai.

The film reportedly impressed Rajni so much that he immediately called up the Big B and told him that this was his finest performance ever and that he is going to see the film once again purely for that.

Bachchan, touched by Rajini's gesture, said, "It feels nice when an actor like him compliments you."
Last year, when Rajini's film Sivaji had released, the South legend had flown to Mumbai to show the film to his friend. Although the two superstars have been compared for their huge popularity, they share a great relationship with each other.

Although the superstars have acted together only in a couple of films, directors have always shown interest in remaking movies of the stars. For instance, Amitabh's Don was remade in Tamil as Billa, which proved to be a milestone in Rajini's career.
