Dhanush's feet were in air when he got a call from his father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth. This incident occurs when the actor was busy answering to the questions of viewers on a music channel.

The 'Kutty' hero was telling about his Pongal release in the live show when he got the Superstar's call. "Firstly I thought that someone fooling me. But I soon realised that it was Rajini sir," says the happy son-in-law.

The Superstar told the actor: "Hi Dhanush, I watched 'Kutty' at a exclusive screening and enjoyed it thoroughly. It has all the mixer to become a hit. It will surely bring audience to theatres along with their families. All the best."

Over to Dhanush again: "I was shocked. It was a pleasant surprise for me. Since 'appa' never does such things, I can’t speak for a few seconds. I am overjoyed and he made my day. And as he asumed, 'Kutty' has been receiving a positive reaction from the box-office."
