Rajnikanth was bragging to Amitabh Bachchan: “I
know everyone! Just name someone… Anyone! And I
know them.”

Tired of his boasting, Amitabh called his bluff, “Okay,
how about Tom Cruise?”
“Sure, yes! Tom & I are old friends! I can prove it”
Rajini said.

So Rajini & Amitabh fly to Hollywood & knock on Tom
Cruise’s door. Sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts:
“Thalaiva! Great to see you! You & your friend, come
right in & join me for lunch!”

Though impressed, Amitabh is still skeptical. After
they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Rajini that he
thinks Rajini knowing Cruise was just lucky.
“No, no, just name anyone else” says Rajini says.

“President Obama”, Amitabh quickly retorts
“Yes”, Rajini says, “I know him!”
And off they go. At the White House, Obama spots
Rajini on the tour & motions him, saying: “Rajini! What
a surprise!! I was just on my way. to a meeting, but
you & your friend come on in & let’s have a cup of coffee first!”

Though much shaken by now, Amitabh is still not
completely convinced. After they leave the White
House grounds, he implores him to name anyone
else.

“The Pope?” Amitabh replies. “Sure!” says Rajini “My
folks are from Italy & I’ve known the Pope for a long
time”.

Rajini & Amitabh assemble with the masses at
Vatican Square when Rajini says, “This will never
work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards. So, let
me just go upstairs & I’ll come out on the balcony
with the Pope.”

He disappears into the crowd headed toward the
Vatican… Sure enough, half an hour later Rajini
emerges at the balcony with the Pope! But by the time Rajini returns, he finds that Amitabh
has had a stroke & is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to Amitabh’s side, Rajini asks, “What
happened?”

Amitabh Bachchan looks up & says, “I was doing fine
until a man tapped on my shoulder & asked: Who’s
that guy with Rajnikanth?” X_X
