Tamil
Nadu's
biggest
star.
He
said
that
he
was
quite
amazed
when
Rajinikanth
appreciated
him
for
Soodhu
Kavvum.
"I
remember
it
was
my
first
day
on
the
sets
of
Lingaa.
Director
K.S.
Ravi
Kumar
had
just
introduced
me
to
the
superstar,
and
I
literally
froze
in
awe.
That
moment
became
even
more
special
when
Rajini
sir
appreciated
my
performance
in
Soodhu
Kavvum",
Karunakaran
has
revealed.
Soodhu
Kavvum,
directed
by
Nalan
Kumarasamy
is
one
of
the
best
Tamil
comedy
entertainers
of
recent
times.
Karunakaran
portrayed
the
role
of
a
spoilt
son
of
a
sincere
politician,
who
kidnaps
himself
to
extract
money
from
his
father.
"What
really
touched
me
was
that
he
even
remembered
my
character's
name
(Arumai
Prakasam)
from
the
film.
A
rare
compliment
coming
from
Rajini
sir
meant
a
lot
to
me," he
said.
Karunakaran
will
be
playing
a
side
kick
to
main
comedian
Santhanam
in
Lingaa.
With
Rajinikanth
playing
the
lead,
the
movie
is
expected
to
be
high
on
comedy
as
everyone
knows
that
Rajinikanth
can
pull
off
subtle
comedies
with
ease.
The
Soodhu
Kavvum
actor
who
has
a
