Personally, I would wonder why you have an instance of another controller inside your active one. If this is custom functionality you need in more than one controller then it should either be moved to a component (for later re-use), or into AppController (if specific to this application only). I wouldn't even consider requestAction for something like this, though it would have the desired effect.
