Darbar: AR Murugadoss talks about working with Superstar Rajinikanth for the first time in his career

Even though AR Murugadoss has worked on many films in his career, Darbar marks the first time that he is working with Superstar Rajinikanth in his career.

In a recent interview, the director has opened up about it, stating, “Rajini sir called me after ‘Ghajini’ and that’s when I met him for the first time.  He has the habit of congratulating and blessing directors who deliver good movies. After the release of ‘Sivaji’, he evinced interest in working with me.  It’s then that I got an opportunity to remake ‘Ghajini’ in Hindi.  Our planned collaboration kept on getting delayed, with Rajini garu getting busy with ‘Robo’ and other projects later. From childhood, we have been amazed by Rajini sir. I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to work with him at any cost.  My friends and relatives were elated on knowing the news about my project with the Superstar.  I started feeling pressure suddenly.  Rajini sir will drop a project even in the final stage if he doesn’t like the script. I zeroed in on the story of ‘Darbar’ quite early,” said the director.
