British actor Tom Hiddleston's highly-anticipated series 'Loki' is here, starting today. He is best known for playing the 'God of mischief' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Ahead of the release, the streaming platform released a video especially for the Indian audience.
In the video, he plays a classic game - word association. Tom talks about the first thing that comes to his mind when he's given a particular word. It starts off easy as he talks about himself, Thor and Chris Hemsworth. But then, when he's asked about India, he mentions Shah Rukh Khan. Well, who doesn't like the Badshah of Bollywood? He mentions him twice. The second time was when he was asked about Bollywood. "Am I allowed to say Shah Rukh Khan again? Shah Rukh Khan again."
But here's the best bit: Tom is asked about an Indian city and he immediately goes, "Chennai!" and says, "My akka lives there. She used to live there. And I have been there a few times. Chennai is great!" Well, now that's brand new information. Who knew that the God of mischief had such an association with Chennai?
Here's that viral video:

This particular clip of him talking about his 'akka' went viral with many taking to Google to search about his lesser known Chennai connect. Sarah Hiddleston, Tom's sister is a Journalist and she's married to an Indian.
Loki has made several hush-hush visits to India, especially Chennai. He also said in an earlier interview that he loves Bollywood and his sister was the one to introduce Bollywood to him.
