The film revolves around a Tamil girl Meenamma who falls in love with a North Indian guy Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who boards the Chennai Express train from Mumbai carrying the ashes of his late grandfather, supposed to be immersed in Rameshwaram, while he intends to go to Goa instead. Sathyaraj, who is famous for his role as Kattappa from ‘Baahubali’, also played a supporting role in this film.
The music for ‘Chennai Express’ was composed by Vishal-Shekhar. The film also gained wide popularity for its song ‘Lungi Dance’, a tribute to megastar Rajnikanth, crooned by Honey Singh.
Meanwhile, Rohit will soon be making his OTT debut with the upcoming series ‘Indian Police Force’ which is all set to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The show stars Sidharth Malhotra in the lead role.
