Soundarya Rajinikanth shares "priceless" meet with Appa as he meets 'With Love' team
Chennai, February 11
Superstar Rajinikanth had a special meeting with the cast and crew of 'With Love' after the film's strong start at the box office.
The romantic drama, led by Abhishan Jeevinth and Anaswara Rajan, hit theatres on February 6 and saw impressive footfalls during its first three days. The film has been receiving praise from film buffs for its simple, relatable story and strong performances.
The meeting was especially meaningful for Soundarya Rajinikanth, as she is one of the co-producers of the film.
She posted a video from her meeting with her "appa," calling it a "priceless moment." Her caption read: "With love, with the one and only, my appa. This is not just a meeting; this is an emotion. Superstar Rajinikanth appreciates the With Love team. Priceless moment."
The gathering included producers Soundarya Rajinikanth and Magesh Raj Pasilian, lead actors Abhishan and Anaswara, and music composer Sean Roldan.
'With Love' is the first film directed by Madhan and marks Abhishan's first lead role after Tourist Family last year. For Anaswara Rajan, it is her debut as the female lead in a Tamil film. The cast also includes Saravanan, Ayaz Khan, Harish Kumar, Kavya Anil, Sacchin Nachiappan, and Ravi Mariya. Shreyaas Krishna handled the cinematography, and Sureshkumar K edited the film.
On the work front, Rajinikanth will next be seen in 'Thalaivar 173.' The film is backed by Kamal Haasan and will be directed by Cibi Chakravarti. Rajinikanth was last seen in 'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film, set in the Visakhapatnam docks, follows the story of a former coolie who uncovers a smuggling racket while investigating his friend's death.

Rajinikanth sir's humility is always on display. Despite being a superstar, he takes time to appreciate new talent and his daughter's work. This is why he is loved across generations. All the best to the new director and cast!
It's great to see a simple romantic drama doing well. Sometimes we need these feel-good stories more than the big action spectacles. Hope this encourages more producers to back such content. Congrats to the team!
Respectfully, while the family moment is nice, the article reads more like a PR piece. I'd like to see more critical discussion about the film's actual merits and how it stands in the current Tamil cinema landscape, beyond just the star connection.
Anaswara Rajan's Tamil debut! She was brilliant in Malayalam films. Good to see talented actors getting pan-India opportunities. The industry needs more fresh faces and simple stories. Will definitely watch this weekend. 😊
Thalaivar 173 with Kamal Haasan backing it? That's the real news for me! Two legends collaborating behind the scenes. But happy for Soundarya madam and the new team's success. A good opening is always a relief for producers.
