Southern
actor
Adithya
Menon,
who
has
worked
in
films
such
as
Villua
and
Eega,
says
his
upcoming
Hindi
film
Main
Hoon
Rajinikanth
is
a
a
"tribute" to
the
Tamil
superstar
and
is
not
intended
to
portray
him
in
a
"bad
light".
Actor
Rajinikanth
Wednesday
petitioned
in
Madras
High
Court
for
a
stay
on
the
release
of
Main
Hoon
Rajinikanth" for
using
his
name
without
his
consent.
"Our
film
is
a
tribute
to
the
'thalaivar'
(Rajinikanth).
It's
a
comedy
satire
that
will
leave
audiences
in
splits.
Nobody
would
dare
to
show
Rajini
sir
in
bad
light
through
a
film.
How
could
we
possibly
do
it,"
Adithya.
"Besides
the
name,
there's
nothing
in
our
film
that
defames
Rajini
sir.
I'm
sure
when
people
watch
the
film,
they'll
realize
it's
a
clean
comedy
entertainer,"
he
said.

Adithya
hopes
that
the
stay
on
the
film's
release
will
be
revoked
soon.
"I
hope
we
get
to
release
our
film
smoothly.
We
have
completed

My
director
and
producer
will
take
a
final
call
on

matter,"
he
said.
