Suraj Venjaramoodu on working with Rajinikanth and Nelson in Jailer 2
According to an interview with Cinema Vikatan, Suraj Venjaramoodu said, “Nelson places serious issues within a comedy scene. That is brilliant; nobody else does this in Indian cinema. I have a combination of scenes with Rajinikanth sir, and I was very tense. When he was acting, scenes from all his films were flashing before my eyes. My challenge was to overcome that feeling and deliver my dialogues.”
Continuing, Suraj added, “Rajinikanth sir helps and appreciates his co-artists. He told me, ‘Veera Dheera Sooran paathen. Nalla iruku. Nalla nadichrukinga.’ (I watched Veera Dheera Sooran. It’s really good. You’ve acted very well.) He is always the one and only superstar.”
