Thangabali inspires a restaurant name?

Deepika Padukone is thrilled to find out a restaurant named Thangabali. Has it been inspired by her famous dialogue in Chennai Express? Deepika as Meenamma in Chennai Express is still considered one of her best onscreen performances. However, it is the dialogue Thangabali, which continues to tickle our funny bones even today.

An insider said, “Deepika was on the way home in South Mumbai when she came across a South 

Indian restaurant named Thangabali. She was 

pleasantly surprised, and couldn’t help but wonder if her dialogue inspired the owners in any way to name the restaurant. She shared it immediately with her team members, who were also amazed.

The actor is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film Padmavati, however, she is keen on visiting the place soon, revealed the insider. “Chennai Express and her character in it are still among her favourites. Now, the new restaurant has given her a reason to revisit the film as well as her character, Meenamma,” says the source.
