Tamil cinema stalwart Rajinikanth
Three decades ago, Rajinikanth was playing the role of Surya, based on the character of Karna from the epic Mahabharata in Mani Ratnam s `Thalapathi . An early morning sunrise time shoot sequence was planned in Mysuru but by the time Rajinikanth arrived at his reporting time of 5:45 am, the sun had already risen. Ratnam decided to shoot the next morning because he wanted a particular colour tone effect for Rajinikanth s character.
