At Pondicherry University, a 77-year-old Mitsubishi executive won hearts by performing a Tamil song from the renowned Rajnikanth movie “Muthu.” In a video that has gone viral on social media, the senior executive can be seen singing and dancing to the song as students and coworkers cheer him on.
The video was shared by Indian Railways Officer Ananth Rupanagudi on X (formerly Twitter). “At the age of 77, Mr. Kuboki San of Mitsubishi Corporation Ltd, Japan, at the GLOBIZZ’24 event conducted by Pondicherry University! He enthralled the MBA students with the Tamil Song from Rajnikanth starred movie “Muthu”, which has been rocking in Japan since 1995! #Rajinikanth,” he wrote in the caption.

“This is wholesome,” said a user.
Another added, “How awesome is this.”
“The reach of peak Thalaivar is miles ahead of any other Indian hero,” stated a user.
“Awesome,” remarked a person.
A fifth person wrote, “Thalaivar craze for muthu in Japan.”
“Wow. Never heard a Japanese sing Tamil,” added a user.
“So many things to learn from Japanese,” said an X user.
Another user said, “Cutest Japanese thatha. And I’ve met many many of them!”
When “Muthu,” starring Rajinikanth, debuted at the box office in 1995 and brought in 400 million Japanese Yen, or roughly 23.5 crores, it became the highest-grossing Indian film in Japanese history. But in 2022, the 24-year record-holding movie “RRR,” starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR, was destroyed at the Japanese box office.
