In an interaction with Pinkvilla, when Upendra Rao was asked about working in Coolie with Rajinikanth. He said, “Yeah, for talking about Coolie and Rajinikanth sir, I think I would need a whole another long conversation. I can’t put it together in a simple comprehensive answer right now. I would say in one line that, his wisdom, his words, there are so many things that make him a Dronacharya to me.

Interestingly, Upendra was also asked about Aamir Khan’s reaction to his upcoming film UI’s video. He said, “I was in Cloud 9 actually. I never expected Aamir Khan to do such a video after I showed him the trailer for UI. I just wanted to show it to him and get an honest feedback. After seeing it, he just took his phone and made that video even though there was limited time for us to interact.”

He also said how he was speechless and didn’t know how to thank him. He also said that Aamir Khan always encourages his juniors in the industry.
