A Tamil Nadu villager, Pandian, from Tiruppathur in Sivaganga district, became an overnight celebrity after helping Malayalam film superstar Mammootty find his way in the early hours of Friday.
Mammootty was returning by car from a shoot at Karaikudi when he lost his way at a remote place in Tiruppathur. The highway was blocked, and Google Maps led them to a wrong route. Stranded at around 3:30 am, he stopped at a petrol bunk to ask for directions but couldn't get the help he needed.
Pandian, who was sleeping at the petrol bunk, woke up and asked the driver where they wanted to go. When he learned they were headed to Madurai, he offered to guide them. As the driver was having trouble following Pandian's directions, he suggested that Mammootty's car follow him on his bike.
Pandian led the way for 10 kilometers before they reached the Madurai highway. Mammootty, who was wearing a shirt and dhoti, got out of the car and asked the driver to take a photo with Pandian. He even called Pandian 'my friend.' A video of this encounter went viral on social media.
Pandian was touched by Mammootty's humility and felt proud to have been called a friend by the superstar. Initially, he didn't recognize Mammootty as the light inside the car was switched off, and he only heard the actor's voice. It wasn't until they reached the highway that Pandian asked if he was the famous actor.
Mammootty confirmed his identity, took Pandian's phone, and asked someone to take a picture. He then hugged Pandian and called him 'my friend.' This chance encounter has made Pandian a local celebrity, and he is grateful for the experience.
