Of course, nothing compares to meeting face to face, no matter how busy life gets. Pinky has always wished the very best for me, and I truly cherish that."

Sarath Kumar wasn't the only Tamil star who had a rakhi tied to his wrist.

Taking to his X timeline to pen his thoughts on the visit of his sister, he wrote, "Belated happy #rakshabandhan to my dearest sister #aishu who surprised me at my shooting spot and tied the rakhi which made my day coz got to see my princess niece #naila after a long time. Also wishing all my sisters worldwide a very happy #rakshabhandan. Loads of love. God bless."

For the unaware, Actor Vishal commenced shooting for his 35th film which is being directed by well known Tamil film director Ravi Arasu on August 1 this year.

Produced by veteran filmmaker R B Choudhary under the banner of his well known production house Super Good Films, the film boasts of an exceptional technical team.

Acclaimed cinematographer Richard M. Nathan reunites with Vishal in this film after their successful outing in the superhit film 'Madha Gaja Raja'.

While this is a sweet story, I wish our celebrities would show this same enthusiasm for actual sisters who struggle in our society. Rakhi shouldn't just be a photo-op for stars.

The postal rakhi tradition is so nostalgic! In this digital age, getting something physical by post shows real effort. My brother in Canada still sends me rakhi by courier every year ❤️
