''I can't compare myself with the great Rajini sir. I wanted to take his blessings, to be a part of the film. He and his wife sent me dinner--they are such kind people. So, I just wanted to go and thank them personally,'' the Bollywood icon, who has the rare distinction of sharing screen space with two mega stars, Rajni and Kamal Hassan, said.

''I was happy to see Rajni hale and hearty. It's really nice to see him and to convey my regards of everyone in the unit,'' Shah Rukh said.
