Shriya's selfie with Rajinikanth, inside what appears to be a flight, has evoked nostalgia. Her caption read, “When you meet the legend, Photo toh banta hai”

One fan commented, “Remembering Shivaji days”, as another wrote, “Memories of Sivaji The Boss hit us”. Multiple fans posted GIFs of Rajinikanth's scenes from the 2007 hit film too.

Dharman is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, and stars Raashii Khanna, Simran and Yogi Babu as well. It would be Rajinikanth's 173rd film.

Meanwhile, Shriya is also set to reprise her role in the upcoming film Drishyam 3. The first look of the suspense thriller was released recently by the makers on social media. The film has two new entrants to its cast- Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj. Akshaye Khanna, who played a key role in the second instalment, is no longer attached to the threequel.
