Karthik Subbaraj, in an interview, said that after hearing the script of Petta, Rajinikanth told him that only he could pull off this film.

You now can't talk about a Rajinikanth film without talking politics, even though Petta is almost apolitical. Petta, Rajinikanth's second film in two months, releases today.
