Tourist Family, the Tamil film that struck a chord with audiences in theatres and continues to win hearts on OTT, has gained a strong fanbase — and among its admirers is none other than Superstar Rajinikanth.
Known for his unwavering love for cinema, Rajinikanth never misses a chance to celebrate films that move him. After recently praising Tourist Family, the legendary actor met the film’s director Abishan Jeevinth today, blessing him for his work.
Following the emotional meeting, Abishan took to social media and penned a heartfelt note: “The very reason I stepped into cinema feels fulfilled today. The way he called my name and hugged me — goosebumps all over. His one smile felt like every prayer I made as a child had finally arrived, late but exactly WHEN I NEEDED IT. What a man, what a symbol of simplicity.”
