In an unexpected turn of events, actress Shruti Haasan was denied entry at Chennai's Vettri Theatre during the premiere day of her own film, Coolie. The security guard failed to recognise the leading lady of the film, resulting in a lighthearted and amusing incident [1][2][3].
On the film's release day, August 14, Shruti Haasan found herself in an unusual predicament while trying to enter the theatre in her car. The video of the incident, now going viral, shows the actress humorously addressing the guard, saying, "I'm in the movie. Please allow me, anna (brother). I am the heroine, sir." [4]
Rakesh Gowthaman, proprietor of Vettri Theatres, where the incident took place, later shared the video on social media. Gowthaman added a light-hearted caption to the video [5]. The video has since won hearts online for Shruti Haasan's sense of humor and down-to-earth attitude.
The denial occurred despite the fact that Shruti was there to watch her own movie with friends [3]. The incident was taken in good spirit, and fans have praised Shruti for her patience and humorous handling of the situation.
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures, is a record-breaking action-packed entertainer.
