I am the heroine, sir,' cracking up everyone with her. The security eventually let them inside. Rakesh Gowthaman, proprietor of Vettri Theatres in Chennai, re-shared the video on X (formerly Twitter), mentioning in the caption that their security 'overperformed' his duty. He captioned it, 'My man Raayal over performed his duty. Hilarious moment. Thanks for being with us @shrutihaasan mam... Hope you enjoyed the show!!! #CoolieFDFS in #Vettri.' People thought it was funny and sweet that Shruti had to plead her case. One fan wrote on Instagram, 'I love the way she calls Sir, respect towards people.' Another joked, 'Shruti Haasan - Heroine (cross emoji) Audience (tick emoji).' A fan even wrote, 'Anna is like: No more free tickets.' A fan commented, 'Andha anna romba strict nga (That brother is very strict).' Many also wrote it's 'cute' how she was respectful in the scenario.
