Actor Rajinikanth surprised his fans on August 29 by visiting the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) depot. He also visited the Raghavendra temple after 'Jailer' success.

Rajinikanth landed in Bengaluru on Tuesday (August 29) and paid his respects at the Raghavendra temple. The superstar's visit comes when his film 'Jailer' performs well at the box office. Earlier in the day, the actor visited Bengaluru's BMTC (Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation) and recalled his time as a conductor.

The actor worked as a bus operator in Bengaluru before making a career in movies. He was given responsibility for route 10A at that time by the Bangalore Transport Service (BTS, now BMTC). A top official said nobody at BMTC knew about the actor's visit. The official explained to The Hindu that it was an unplanned visit. He engaged with our team, including depot workers, conductors, and drivers. He may feel nostalgic because he formerly served as a conductor for the depot's buses.
