"I
share
a
close
rapport
with
Tamil
film
industry
even
though
I
have
not
acted
in
any
Tamil
movies
before.
It
is
because
I'm
one
of
the
close
friends
of
Rajinikanth",
said
actor
Jackie
Shroff,
who
is
making
his
debut
in
Tamil
with
Aaranya
Kandam.
The
movie
is
produced
by
S
P
B
Charan's
Capital
Film
Works
and
is
directed
by
debutant
Kumara
Raja
who
had
written
the
script
for
Oram
Po.
The
star
cast
includes
Ravikrishna,
Yasmeen
Ponappa
and

among
others.
The

Jackie
Shroff,
who
is
shooting
for
the
movie
in
Chennai,
said,
'I
had
been
to
Chennai
on
several
occasions
before.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
my
good
friend.
I
have
played
as
his
younger
brother
in
Uttar
Dakshin
and
he
has
also
attended
my
marriage
in
Mumbai.
For
me,
working
with
Tamil
technicians
is
a
delightful
experience.
I
know
the
dedication
and
zeal
of
the
Tamil
film
technicians
and
their
respect
towards
senior
artistes!'
