Kayadu Lohar Recalls Nervous Flight Beside Rajinikanth
‘I just froze’: Kayadu Lohar swapped seats on a flight—and ended up next to Rajinikanth · indianexpress.com

Kayadu Lohar told a story about sitting next to Rajinikanth on an airplane.

She did not know it was him when she changed seats.

When she realised who he was, she became very nervous.

She pretended to sleep for most of the flight.

She even called director Ashwath Marimuthu to ask what she should say.

After the plane landed, she introduced herself to Rajinikanth.

She also said working with Suriya makes her try harder because he is a very strong screen presence.

Lohar praised Dulquer Salmaan for allowing his film’s director to lead without interference.
