Please allow me, anna (brother). I am the heroine, sir," leaving everyone around her in splits. The guard eventually allowed her entry after the humorous exchange. Vettri Theatres proprietor Rakesh Gowthaman also reshared the video on X (formerly Twitter), calling the moment a result of his staff's 'overperforming' duties.
