Raj Bahudur was also seen along with the actor when he visited the bus depot on Tuesday.

 “Raj Bahudur identified the talent in me and sent me to Chennai to give auditions for films. Director K Balachander, who was impressed by my performance in one of the dramas, planned to cast me in his film. But since I did not know Tamil, he backed off. Bahudur then taught me Tamil and sent me back to Chennai. That is how my acting career has begun,” Rajinikanth said when he received the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 2021.

A few days ago after the release of his blockbuster film ‘Jailer’, Rajinikanth met Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow. Both Adityanath and Rajinikanth watched the movie together in Lucknow.
