Actress Apeksha Porwal, who worked with Rajinikanth in 'Jailer 2', revealed on 14 November that the superstar taught her the importance of understanding a film's style and audience. During an exclusive interaction with IANS, she said working on a large-scale commercial film requires a different approach from a content-driven project. Porwal noted that Rajinikanth brings his signature style to even the smallest details. She also praised co-stars Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan and Ramya Krishnan as 'amazing' and 'humble' people who made her feel comfortable on set.
