Rajinikanth with the RV90 bike from Paayum Puli

Older fans still remember the rover bike Rajinikanth used in the 1983 action drama Paayum Puli. The rugged yellow Suzuki RV 90 (1970) was one of the highlights of the film, and AVM Productions has preserved it in their AVM Heritage Museum in Chennai. Recently, Rajinikanth visited the museum and posed on the bike that he used 41 years ago.

Popularly known as VanVan, the Suzuki RV 90 is one of the funky monkey bikes that were really popular back in the day. The bike was popular across Europe, and the Superstar made it famous in Tamil Nadu too with the film.

A treasured moment in time… one that you can relive @avmmuseum. Come visit the famed bike used by Superstar @rajinikanth in #PaayumPuli✨

The museum, which was inaugurated in 2023 by CM MK Stalin, has some of the oldest cameras, filming tools, sets, costumes, and props that were used in about 177 films produced by the esteemed production house. AVM Productions stopped making films after 2014. Their last venture was Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum. Over the years, the production house has made iconic films like Sabapathy, Parasakthi, Nallavanuku Nallavan, and many such ventures.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently busy wrapping up his next film Vettaiyan which is directed by TJ Gnanvel. He will next work with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a yet-untiled film.
