Mahindra Thar Used In Rajinikanth's New Movie Will Go To The Auto Museum

The popular Indian off-road SUV, Mahindra Thar, will be seen in Superstar Rajinikanth's upcoming movie - 'Kaala Karikaalan'. In fact, the movie poster, which shows Rajinikanth sitting on the hood of the Mahindra Thar, caught the eye of Anand Mahindra, the Executive Chairman of Mahindra Group. Recently, he tweeted the movie poster asking the makers of the movie whether he could acquire this Thar for the company's auto museum. The production house - Wunderbar Films, tweeted back showing interest in taking things forward, and soon actor Dhanush, who is the producer of the movie, officially confirmed that Mahindra could have the Thar once they are done with the shooting.

It all started earlier on the 29th of May 2017 when Anand Mahindra tweeted the poster saying - "Whoever knows the whereabouts of the #Thar used for this shoot please let us know. I'd like to acquire it for our company auto museum".

This is not the first time that Anand Mahindra has tried to acquire a special or unique vehicle for the Mahindra Auto Museum. Last time Anand Mahindra donned the hat of a curator was when he found out about a Kerala-based rickshaw driver who had modified his vehicle to look like a Mahindra Scorpio from the rear. Mahindra tracked down this person and bought the auto-rickshaw from him in exchange for a new four-wheeler - a Mahindra Supro mini truck.

We sure keep wondering whether Mahindra might show some similar gesture towards the production house or our superstar himself after the deal is done.
