When Solo movie director Bejoy Nambiar met Rajinikanth, but Dulquer Salmaan give it a miss [PHOTOS]

The entire team of Solo — the upcoming bilingual anthology movie — is on a promotion spree.

With the movie hitting theatres all over India in the first week of October, the makers are trying to make the Dulquer Salmaan-starrer into one of the most-awaited films of the year, with interesting promo videos that have received positive response from the audience.

Bejoy Nambiar, the director of Solo, met Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on October 2 to show him footage from the movie and seek his blessings. The filmmaker visited him at his residence in Poes Garden with producer Anil Jain.

However, due to a tight shooting schedule, Dulquer missed the oppurtunity to meet the versatile actor, and then shared on his social media page: "Had to miss this meeting because of shoot. But how amazing is this !! God bless the superstar for blessing #Solo !! [sic]."

There are four different films in Solo — World of Rudra, World of Siva, World of Shekhar and World of Trilok. Dulquer plays the lead role in each segment.

While he appears as army officer Lt Rudra Ramachandran opposite Neha Sharma in the first segment, he plays a goon named Siva in the second portion with Sruthi Hariharan.
