On June 26, Rajinikanth along with his daughter Aishwarya left for the US for his routine health check-up. He travels to the US every year for his medical check-up. However, due to the pandemic, he couldn’t travel last year.

Having recently completed shooting for his upcoming Tamil film Annaatthe; Rajinikanth decided to take a break to go on his medical check-up.

Rajinikanth arrived at Chennai airport in the wee hours of Friday morning. As he stepped out to board his car, he was welcomed by a group of his fans with chants of ‘Thalaivaa’. A few also referred to him as their god.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe is gearing up for release this Diwali festival. Tipped to be a rural drama, the film also stars Keerthy Suresh, Meena and Khushbu Sundar in key roles. The film was officially launched in 2019 December in Chennai in a low-key affair.

Rajinikanth, who was last seen on screen in AR Murugadoss directed Darbar, will be seen playing the role of a village president in Annaatthe, which will have simultaneous dubbed release in Telugu.

Annaatthe, which has been produced by Sun Pictures, has been directed by Siva and has music by D Imman.
