> Apeksha Porwal, who makes her Tamil debut with Jailer 2, says Rajinikanth's simple and kind nature left a strong mark on her, and she also praises Hrithik Roshan and director Nelson Dilipkumar.

Apeksha Porwal has opened up about sharing the screen with Rajinikanth in Jailer 2, the film that marks her first step into Tamil cinema. What struck her most, she said, was how humble the superstar stayed despite his huge fame.

"I got to see it up close, and it was surreal," the actress said of his stardom. She added that she had never seen a star of his stature be so simple and kind to everyone around him.

Her role in Nelson Dilipkumar's action entertainer puts her in the climax sequence with Hrithik Roshan. Apeksha recalled that the energy on set felt different that day, and she described the actor as thorough, professional and focused.

The director won her praise too. Nelson stays calm, has a clear vision and knows how to draw the right performance from his actors, she said, and his quirky sense of humour made the shoot fun.

Before Jailer 2, Apeksha was known for the OTT projects Undekhi and Salt City. She trained in martial arts ahead of the film, and her gun-wielding action look in the trailer had already caught the attention of fans.
