When a National Award-winning actor admits he went completely starstruck while shooting alongside a legend, you know the energy on that set must have been something truly special. Malayalam star Suraj Venjaramoodu has opened up about his experience working with [Rajinikanth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajinikanth) and director Nelson Dilipkumar on *Jailer 2* — and what he said is pure gold.

## What Suraj Said About Nelson & Rajinikanth

In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, Suraj was full of admiration for director Nelson’s unique craft, saying the filmmaker has a rare ability to embed serious, weighty moments right inside comedy sequences — something he believes no other director in Indian cinema currently does. That instinctive blend of tone is what makes Nelson’s films so wildly entertaining and unpredictable.

But it was his admission about acting opposite Rajinikanth that really hit home. Suraj revealed he was visibly tense during their combination scenes — with iconic moments from every Rajinikanth film flashing through his mind as the superstar performed. His real challenge, he said, was pushing past that overwhelming feeling and simply delivering his lines.

And then came the moment that would melt any actor’s heart. Rajinikanth himself walked up to Suraj, praised his performance in *Veera Dheera Sooran*, and made him feel completely at ease. Suraj’s verdict? There is only one superstar, and there always will be.

## What’s Next for Both Stars?

After *Jailer 2*, Rajinikanth moves straight into *Thalaivar 173*, directed by *Don* fame Cibi Chakaravarthi, with pre-production already underway. He also has the hugely anticipated **KHxRK Reunion** alongside Kamal Haasan, targeting a Diwali 2027 release.

Suraj Venjaramoodu, meanwhile, has *Youth* (opposite Ken Karunas) and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth’s directorial *Texla* lined up — making it one of his busiest phases yet.
