Superstar Rajinikanth has once again won the internet, this time without saying a word. On the evening of Tuesday, September 29, 2026, he arrived at the Mysuru shooting location of his upcoming film Dharman in an auto-rickshaw, as reported by Gulf News and India.com. Videos of the moment, showing him stepping out and waving to cheering fans, quickly spread across social media.
What Happened In Mysuru
According to Gulf News, fans had gathered in large numbers outside the outdoor shoot location, including families with children. The actor arrived in an auto-rickshaw with security staff walking alongside it. He stepped out, waved to the crowd and later came back out to greet the people who had been waiting, dressed in a maroon shirt and a traditional veshti.
Some fans responded with the famous hand gesture from his 2002 film Baba, which Rajinikanth is often seen making in public, as per both reports.
Why The Internet Loved It
Rajinikanth is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema, so the sight of him getting out of an auto instead of a luxury car struck a chord online. India.com reported that fans praised his warm, simple way of meeting people and his easy interaction with the crowd. Clips of the moment were shared widely on X and other platforms.
It is not the first time the superstar has been praised for his down-to-earth nature, and fans were quick to point that out in the comments.
