Kannada star Upendra recently faced trolling on social media for appearing in a small role in Coolie, which stars Rajinikanth in the lead.

Many netizens questioned why an actor of Upendra’s stature would accept such a brief part. Responding to the criticism, Upendra made it clear that the length of the role never mattered to him when it came to Rajinikanth.

He stated that even if it was just one scene, he would gladly act alongside the legendary superstar. Upendra further expressed his deep admiration, calling himself a devotee of Rajini sir, inspired by his unique style, philosophy, and vast experience in cinema.
