Deleted Instagram Post Fuels Casting Speculation as Dharman Shoots in Mysuru

Deleted social posts driving fresh speculation about unannounced cast members have disrupted the film's controlled publicity.

  • Videos circulated online on Tuesday showing Rajinikanth arriving at the Mysuru set in an auto rickshaw and greeting waiting fans, which increased attention on the schedule.
  • Actress Raashii Khanna posted then deleted Instagram photos that included Rajinikanth and Ram Pothineni, a move that reignited widespread reports that Pothineni may be part of the film even though producers have not confirmed him.
