Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger meets Jayalalithaa

Chennai: Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and the two interacted for nearly half an hour.

The 67-year-old actor, also the former Governor of California, met Jayalalithaa at the state Secretariat here.

However, it was not known what transpired between the two.

Schwarzenegger, clad in a grey blazer, did not talk to waiting reporters but struck a pose for the shutterbugs and videographers who had come in good numbers.

He also gave a friendly wrap around the shoulders of a policeman on his security duty, drawing instant cheers from the cops and others around.

Eager state government staff also thronged to catch a glimpse of the 'Terminator' star.

Schwarzenegger is here for the audio launch of director Shankar's mega budget movie, 'I,' starring Vikram and Amy Jackson.

Oscar winner AR Rahman has scored the music for the film.

"It was fantastic to sit down with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa before our event tonight and talk about her state's success and challenges. That’s the advantage of

being an actor who was also a Governor", Schwarzenegger said in his micro-blogging site Twitter.
