While
Kaala
gave
copious
reasons
for
the
people
to
be
in
raptures,
it
was
something
different
for
Anand
Mahindra,
Executive
Chairman
of
the
Mahindra
Group.
It
was
a
year
ago,
he
expressed
his
inclination
for
the
Thar
that
was
used
in
the
movie
by
Superstar
Rajinikanth.
He
took
his
desire
to
Twitter
on
May
29,
2017,
by
tweeting,"Whoever
knows
the
whereabouts
of
the
#Thar
used
for
this
shoot
please
let
us
know.
I'd
like
to
acquire
it
for
our
company
auto
museum." Actor
Dhanush,
who
bankrolled
the
film,
responded
to
the
tweet
on
the
very
same
day.
"Thank
you
so
much
sir!
The
vehicle
is
being
used
by
superstar
for
shoot
currently.
Once
completed
will
ensure
it
reaches
you,"
he
tweeted.
As
the
movie
had
its
release
worldwide
on
June
7,
2018,
Anand
Mahindra
took
to
Twitter
yet
again
to
publicize
the
news
that
Dhanush
has
kept
his
promise
and
handed
out
the
Thar
to
them
for
their
Auto
museum.
The
Thar
is
now
kept
at
the
Mahindra
Research
Valley
in
Chennai.
Anand
Mahindra
posted
a
video
of
his
team
from
Chennai
sporting
the
Kaala
pose
with
the
Thar,
on
the
day
of
the
film's
release.
Also,
a
print
ad
has
been
released
by
the
Mahindra
recently
that
shows
Rajinikanth
sitting
on
the
bonnet
of
the
Mahindra
Thar
CRDe
and
it
is
expected
that
the
popularity
of
this
off-road
vehicle
will
elevate
as
a
result
of
the
Superstar's
voguish
appearance
along
with
it.
The
Mahindra
SUV,
which
is
seen
in
the
movie
is
a
very
much
sought-after
vehicle
among
the
enthusiasts.
The
design
of
this
vehicle
is
inspired
by
the
seminal
Jeep
brand
and
is
very
popular
among
the
off-roaders
because
of
the
customized
modification
options
that
are
available
in
the
market.
Anand
Mahindra's
fondness
for
unique
collectables
dates
back
to
2017
when
a
Kerala-based
rickshaw
driver
altered
his
vehicle
to
appear
like
Mahindra
Scorpio
from
the
rear,
he
bought
the
auto
rickshaw
from
the
driver
and
gave
him
a
brand
new
Mahindra
Supro
minitruck
in
return.
The
company's
automobile
museum
is
being
set
up
in
Kandivali
and
expected
to
open
for
the
public
in
the
near
future.
