Don t deserve the superstar tag: Raghava Lawrencce

Chennai March 10 (IANS) Actor-filmmaker Raghava Lawrencce who has been given the title People s Superstar by director Sairamani in his latest Tamil outing Motta Siva Ketta Siva says he doesn t deserve the tag.

In a Facebook post he wrote: My director had told me that he has a surprise for me. When I saw the title People s Superstar I was indeed surprised. But I would like to state that I do not feel I deserve this title and I can only say that there is only one superstar and that is our Thalaivar Rajinikanth.

Calling himself a huge fan of Rajinikanth he said: It is he who introduced me to this film industry. And I first saw my Raghavendra Swamy in him. I am absolutely grateful to him in every way.

Lawrencce called the film s director and had asked him to remove the title from his name immediately.

He also added that henceforth he will add his mother s name to his name in films.

I have chosen my own title for my name and it will be that of my mother. I will henceforth be called Kanmani Raghava Lawrencce. Nothing can bring me more happiness than my mother s name. No title can be equal to this he said.
