“Thalaiva, Face-a Paakanum!”: Rajinikanth responds to fans with iconic wave in-flight, video goes viral

There’s a reason ‘Thalaivar’ Rajinikanth is called a superstar. Whether he is acting or just being himself, everything he does becomes a moment. With fans eagerly awaiting Coolie, a sweet video allegedly from his promotional tour is making waves online.

Rajinikanth, while travelling to Hyderabad from Chennai, has surfaced online and is garnering massive attention. Wearing a brown T-shirt and black trousers, the star pulled off a casual yet dapper airport look. Reportedly, 'Thalaivar' was travelling for Coolie promotions. The passengers were in a treat after coming to know that they are sharing a flight with superstar Rajinikanth.

Before the takeoff, one of the fans sat far away at the aircraft shouts, “Thalaiva, face-a paakanum!”, and without hesitation, Rajini stands up and waves, turning the plane into a mini celebration. He warmly acknowledged them with a wave and a smile. Rajini was accompanied by his daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth.

Rajinikanth’s humble gesture has won the internet’s heart, earning praise for his grounded and down-to-earth nature. While many celebrities prefer to travel in private jets, Rajini's simple interaction with fans has won netizens' hearts.

At 74, he is one of the stars who never fails to impress fans requests. Despite being at the top of the industry, his modest and low-key nature has time and again impressed everyone.

On the work front, Rajinikanth is gearing up for the release of Coolie helmed by Lokesh Kaganaraj. He is also actively working on Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer 2, both backed by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner.
