After featuring in Ashutosh Gowariker's telenovela, Everest (2014) and the soap Bin Kuch Kahe (2017), Shamata Anchan has now bagged a role in AR Murugadoss's Tamil thriller, Darbar, starring Rajinikanth. On day one of the shoot, she shot with the South icon. Sensing Anchan was anxious about rendering the dialogues in Tamil, Thalaiva put her at ease by asking her about working with Gowariker. He also taught her how to improvise. "I got to see him make his trademark moves," she gushes.

Akin to any Rajinikanth film, Darbar too happens to be one of the most anticipated offerings from the Superstar. It's all set to release on the occasion of Pongal 2020, January 15. And the actress even took to her Instagram account to share the news and as expected, she couldn't keep calm.
