Reba Monica John on taking a photograph with Rajinikanth: "Is this for real?"

Mazaiyil Nanaigiren star Reba Monica John shared a group of pictures of her with Rajinikanth earlier today as she wished Rajinikanth on his birthday. Recently, Reba revealed that she is part of Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj's upcoming film Coolie during her promotions for Mazaiyil Nanaigiren, thus ending months-long speculation about her involvement in that film. Now, Reba cannot hide her excitement as she posed for the pictures with Rajinikanth. She captioned the post, "Truly honoured to have stood next to you, above being complimented and hugged with so much affection! Love you Thalaivar."

Reba, known for her role in the Vijay starrer Bigil, stars opposite Anson Paul in the romantic film Mazaiyil Nanaigiren, whose release has been postponed owing to rain threat in Tamil Nadu. Mazaiyil Nanaigiren marks her first collaboration with Anson, known for his roles in Malayalam cinema and the Sivakarthikeyan-Keerthy Suresh starrer Remo. On the other hand, Coolie marks Reba's first role in a Rajinikanth film. Reba and the makers of Coolie are yet to reveal the specifics of her role.
