While
Rajinikanth's
Kuselan
(Kathanayukudu
in
Telugu),
released
on
August
1,
gets
a
lukewarm
response
from
Rajini's
diehard
fans
and
critics,
Meena,
who
played
a
significant
role
opposite
Pasupathy
in
the
film,
has
reportedly
said
that
she
is
unhappy
about
the
treatment
given
to
her
by
the
highly-respected
team
of
Kuselan.
Although
Meena
is
the
heroine,
she
was
missing
from
most
of
the
film's
publicity
material,
which
concentrated
on
Superstar's
persona
and
the
glamour
quotient
Nayantara.
She
knew
that
she
might
be
overshadowed
in
a
big
banner
like
Kuselan,
since
it
was
a
Rajini
film
and
banked
on
his
popularity.
"But,
as
regard
to
the
other
actors
in
the
film,
there"s
something
called
equality,
isn"t
there?" Meena
questions.
Meena
said
she
got
a
big
shock
on
the
very
day
the
film
was
released.
"I
was
shooting
in
Hyderabad
when
some
friends
who
saw
the
movie
called
me.
Though
I
am
the
heroine
in
the
film,
my
name
came
after
Nayantara's
in
title
card.
They
didn't
have
to
put
me
down
so
badly!"
the
actress
said,
adding
that
it's
awkward
to
face
any
queries
relating
to
the
film
from
friends
or
people
in
the
industry.
"When
they
quiz
me
about
the
treatment
of
my
role,
I
have
no
answers
for
them.
It's
all
right
if
I
had
been
indifferent
from
the
beginning,
but
I
was
assured
that
my
role
would
be
satisfactory
even
before
the
project
commenced.
I
did
not
expect
to
be
treated
like
this
from
a
highly-respected
team,"
she
flared.
Meena
also
recalled
that
some
emotional
scenes
in
which
she
performed
well
were
not
used.
"Pasupathy
and
I
had
three
children
in
the
film
-
two
girls
and
a
boy.
In
this
particular
scene,
the
boy
(who
is
dark-skinned
like
his
father)
asks
me
why
he
is
dark.
It
was
a
touching
scene
and
came
out
very
well...
everyone
on
the
sets
applauded
it.
I
was
surprised
that
it
was
not
used
in
the
final
version
that
made
it
to
the
theatres,"
she
added.
Meena
was,
however,
all
praise
for
Rajinikanth
and
the
way
he
has
remained
the
same
since
Anbulla
Rajinikanth.
"He
has
changed
little
since
then,"
she
said.
