Dhanush's happiness knew no bounds when he got a call from his father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth. And it occurred when the actor was busy answering to the questions of listeners on a music channel.

The 'Kutty' hero was talking regarding his Pongal release in the live show when he got the Superstar's call. "I firstly thought that somebody was playing prank. But I soon realized that it was Rajini sir," says the happy son-in-law.

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

Over to Dhanush again: "I was amazed. It was an amusing shock for me. Since 'appa' never does such things, I was bowled over for a few seconds. I am delighted and he made my day. And as he expected, 'Kutty' has been receiving a positive response from the box-office."
