What happened at Vettri Theatres

As Shruti and her friends tried to drive into the theatre premises, the security guard Raayal halted their car at the gate. In the video, credited to Yungraja and shared by Vettri Theatres proprietor Rakesh Gowthaman, Shruti can be heard saying, “I’m in the movie. Please allow me, anna. I’m the heroine sir.”

Her friends burst into laughter, and so did viewers online. Rakesh wrote in his caption, “My man Raayal overperformed his duty. Hilarious moment. Thanks for being with us @shrutihaasan mam...Hope you enjoyed the show!!!”


Here’s why the video is getting attention

The clip is short and light-hearted. Fans enjoy seeing stars react like everyone else. Shruti’s playful line, “I’m the heroine sir”, and the genuine laughter make the video shareable. The guard’s routine check turned into a charming moment that humanised both the star and the security staff. The easy humour has helped the video spread quickly across platforms.
