You have heard of the rich and the famous buy flashy cars and private jets, well according to a weekly Tamil magazine, the coach is just the first of three that Rajinikanth plans to buy.
He is laying a small track inside this five-acre farm and wants to remodify the coach and have his own mini train.
The first class AC coach was discarded by the Railways as scrap and was brought from Vizhupuram district by trailers.

Reports also estimate that such coach could cost more than Rs 20 lakh and modifying it and laying private tracks may cost upwards of a few crores.
