As per a Brut video, Rajinikanth spoke about an incident when he went to Rajasthan to meet his brother. A tenant in his sixties came to meet him there. Thalaiva said, “I am not exaggerating. I had gone to visit my brother in Bangalore. Nearby, a Rajasthani tenant had come. He came to see me when he got to know I was there. He was 60 plus. He greeted and asked, ‘What happened to your hair?’, I said, ‘Arey, jhad gaye yaar chodo (My hair has fallen off).’ He asked if I have retired. So, told him that I am working on a film called Robot. Later, I told him Aishwarya Rai was the heroine,” the actor recalled.
