Kamal-Sridevi-Rajinikanth
Kamal
Haasan
said,
"Raja
has
become
a
part
of
my
life.
Today
I
got
the
opportunity
of
hugging
him.
He
is
a
bit
shy.
I
knew
that
he
would
do
his
1000th
film
and
I
am
glad
that
his
786th
film
was
with
me."
Kamal-Amitabh-Rajinikanth
"I
have
never
dared
to
sing
in
front
of
him
because
I
found
it
very
embarrassing.
Every
time
I
used
to
sit
in
a
studio
separately
to
record...
I
remember
one
occasion
while
doing
'Paa',
where
I
had
to
sing
a
song
with
Raja
saab
in
front
of
me.
I
can't
say
how
frightening
it
was," Amitabh
Bachchan
told.

I
am
not
a

accidentally
became

It
is
because

made

once
he
had
faced
a
problem
with
the
music
of
one
of
his
films.
"I
had
shot
all
the
songs
but
was
not
able
to
use
them.
Then
I
went
to
Raja.
He
said
that
I
did
not
need
to
re-shoot
and
that
he
will
dub
the
music
for
me."
Rajinikanth-Kamal-Amitabh
Kamal
further
added, "He
saw
the
lip
sync
and
made
music
which
was
totally
different
from
the
one
I
had
recorded,
and
he
made
hit
songs
out
of
them."
