Rajinikanth greets excited fans
The fan posting the video on X wrote, “THATS RIGHT. I GOT தலைவர் தரிசனம்!!!!!!!! (Thalaivar’s darshan) Crying. Shivering. Heart beating peakeddddddd.” In the video, people can be seen cheering loudly and whipping out their phones to record as soon as they realised that Rajinikanth had boarded the plane.
They wave at him and scream Thalaiva to catch his attention. The actor seemed more than happy to greet them all and acknowledge those screaming out his name. The fan who recorded can even be heard screaming, “Oh my god…s**t, hi,” as Rajinikanth makes eye contact and waves at them.
Fans reacted to the video, with one commenting, “There’s genuine glee on his face too, what a man.” Another wrote, “This is a video for the ages!” Some fans pointed out that he was travelling economy, while others pointed out ‘that smile’.
Rajinikanth’s affinity to fly economy
This is not the first time Rajinikanth has surprised fans by flying economy class, greeting them even if they approach him. In March last year, he was spotted on a flight from Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. He didn’t even try to hide his face and looked relaxed as the person sitting next to him seemed on cloud nine.
He even chatted with the crew before he had to take his seat for takeoff. Jiiva, who later bumped into Rajinikanth on a shuttle the same day, shared pictures with him, writing, “Flying high with the superstar Rajinikanth sir!”
Rajinikanth was last seen in the 2024 film Vettaiyan, in which he played a brutal cop who comes to see the error of his ways. He will soon star in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie and Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer 2.
