You need to be prepared with the fact that when you become a noted hero your fans will have a very emotional connect with you. On the other hand, if you are doing the character of a real life personality who has been powerful, you would be considered his new avatar.
This is something hero Sandie experienced. During the shooting of his film Vangaveeti many people came and touched his feet. Sandie did the role of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga. So, when they came Sandie was feeling delicate and told them “I am not the real Ranga.”
For this, their reply was “All these years we have been garlanding our leader’s statue so allow us to feel we are garlanding the real Ranga.” This came from those who moved with Vangaveeti Ranga many years ago. Sandie got very emotional on hearing this and obliged.
