Japanese Ambassador to India, Hiroshi Suzuki’s take on the ‘Thalaivar Challenge’ has had social media by storm.

Suzuki’s endearing gesture came at an opportune moment, coinciding with the release of Rajinikanth’s latest film, ‘Jailer. The term “Thalaivar” affectionately refers to the renowned Tamil actor Rajnikanth, often hailed as the biggest superstar of Indian cinema.

The video showcasing Mr. Suzuki’s participation quickly went viral, with many applauding his genuine admiration for Indian cinema and Rajinikanth.

In the video, Ambassador Suzuki is observed seeking assistance from a companion to master Rajinikanth’s iconic sunglasses flip. The helpful individual guides the Ambassador through the maneuver, after which Suzuki attempts the challenge himself, extending his well wishes to the superstar for his new film.

The accompanying caption reads, “Rajnikanth, you are truly superb. Wishing you immense success for ‘Jailer.’ Vannakkam! @Rajinikanth, #Japan also holds immense adoration for you!”

Since its upload, the video has garnered over 8000 views and a myriad of reactions from social media users. Commenters appreciated the Ambassador’s willingness to engage in the challenge, with one user stating, “At least you attempted the same action.”

Another individual commended Suzuki, saying, “Mr. Ambassador, congratulations on being a fan of Mr. Rajnikant. His unparalleled presence is hard to match. You looked quite stylish donning the glasses just like him.”

A third user expressed warmth, “This is incredibly sweet, Excellency… Sending much love from India and fellow Rajnikanth fans.”

The Ambassador’s endeavor was met with positive sentiment, encapsulating the spirit of cross-cultural appreciation and camaraderie. Such interactions bridge gaps and exemplify the universal appeal of cinema icons like Rajinikanth. As one user fittingly commented, “Soo smooth.”
