Rajinikanth
Actor discussing his preference against sequels and proposals for Baasha 2 and Petta 2.
“Usually, I don’t prefer sequels. I have this feeling that filmmakers simply take whatever worked in the first part and add more spice to it in the sequels. Sathya Movies approached me for Baasha 2. Karthik Subbaraj approached me for Petta 2, with a story that would have taken Vijay Sethupathi’s character forward. But I wasn’t interested in making those sequels.”
