In recent weeks, there has been growing buzz around superstar Rajinikanth, with many claiming that he has never appeared in a commercial during his 50 year long and illustrious film career.
Articles, debates, and even speeches celebrated the idea that the actor remained away from brand endorsements for over five decades, further strengthening his image as a unique icon.
However, the truth is a little different. A rare video clip from the 1980s has resurfaced, showing Rajinikanth in a Coca-Cola advertisement alongside actress Y. Vijaya.
The commercial, which remained largely unseen for years, is now going viral online and sparking fresh conversations. It proves that even the legendary superstar briefly stepped into the world of advertising.
Rajinikanth continues to dominate discussions not just because of this rediscovered ad, but also due to his landmark 50th year in the film industry.
With the new release of Coolie, the superstar once again finds himself at the center of attention, bridging nostalgia with excitement.
