Superstar Rajinikanth's flight to Mysuru was delayed by more than two and a half hours due to a technical snag. It is said that the pilot of the aircraft carrying 48 passengers including Rajini, luckily detected the issue soon after takeoff and had to return to Chennai. While waiting, the legend obliged co-passengers by posing for photographs with them. Rajini was on his way to Bandipur in Karnataka to participate in a Central Government function when the incident occurred and later he continued his journey.

Rajini after delivering the blockbuster hit 'Darbar' directed by A.R. Murugadoss has already completed the first shooting schedule for his next 'Thalaivar 168' directed by Siruthai Siva. The family action entertainer has Khushbu, Meena, Keerthy Suresh, Soori, Prakash Raj and Siddharth in the cast with D. Imman scoring the music and Sun Pictures bankrolling.
