When Rajinikanth shared hilarious story about playing Aishwarya Rai's love interest in Enthiran

As a die-hard fan of Thalaivar Rajinikanth, I can’t help but be absolutely mesmerized by every little detail of his extraordinary life. The legend himself once shared a heartwarming anecdote about how he was met with skepticism when he announced that Aishwarya Rai would be starring opposite him in the blockbuster hit “Enthiran.”


The movie “Enthiran,” featuring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai, was a massive success that drew acclaim from both critics and viewers across India. The on-screen connection between the two actors was particularly captivating and appreciated by cinema-goers.

Yet, have you heard this amusing anecdote about the Sivaji actor? He shared that when he mentioned Aishwarya being cast opposite him, his family laughed at him mercilessly during a family gathering. The incident left everyone in splits.

When Rajinikanth thanked Aishwarya Rai for saying ‘yes’ to Enthiran

In 2010, Rajinikanth made heads turn when he shared a humorous anecdote about himself during a public appearance. At an event, the famed actor playfully addressed Aishwarya as “Aishwarya ji” and expressed his gratitude for her agreement to act as the female lead opposite him.

I once shared an experience that took place at Rajinikanth’s brother’s house in Bangalore. Unexpectedly, a tenant named Nandulal from Rajasthan dropped by to pay his respects to the actor.

The actor in Annaatthe shared that Nandulal inquired about his hair and sought updates on Rajinikanth’s post-retirement life. In response, Rajinikanth mentioned he was working on a movie alongside Aishwarya Rai.

Excited by the announcement, Nandulal inquired about the main character, who turned out to be the Vettaiyan actor. However, Rajinikanth mentioned that after Nandulal departed, he could distinctly hear Nandulal’s disbelief and shock when the Guru actress agreed to work with the Chandramukhi actor.

Everyone at the venue burst into laughter as soon as Rajinikanth shared the story.

What’s next for Rajinikanth on the work front?

In the coming month of October this year, the esteemed actor Rajinikanth will make his next appearance on screen in the film “Vettaiyan,” directed by TJ Gnanavel. This upcoming production boasts an impressive ensemble cast that includes Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, and Manju Warrier, who will all play significant roles.

Significantly, Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan are teaming up again for this project after a long absence of 33 years. According to sources, the film’s plot will focus on a former police officer who is determined to solve a deep-rooted mystery involving him.
