The two met Rajinikanth after they defeated the Chennai Super Kings last night in the Yellow Brigade's home ground, Chepauk.

They both are ardent fans of the actor and have shared pictures from their meeting on the internet. Sharing the images, Venkatesh Iyer wrote, "Thalaivar Dharisanam ❤️ 15th May, 2023 - etched in my heart and memories forever ❤️ Finally met @rajinikanth sir who shaped all my dreams as a child.
