Superstar Rajinikanth celebrates Deepavali with family, pictures go viral as fans storm the internet

It is known that Rajinikanth is shooting for Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer. A few pics and videos of the Superstar were leaked on the internet a few days ago when the crew was filming a crucial scene in Cuddalore. Though fans of the star were slightly disappointed about the lack of updates from the movie on the day of Deepavali, they now have a reason to cheer.    

Aishwarya, filmmaker and daughter of Rajinikanth, took to her social media page to post a few pics of her celebrating the occasion with her father and two children.

While Aishwarya is seen applying turmeric to their children's toes, Rajini is seen eagerly looking at his grandchildren. Another photo of the Thalaivar posing for a picture with his relatives is also doing the rounds on the internet. Rajini also greeted a few of his fans who had gathered near his house.

The video of him excitedly greeting them and extending Deepavali wishes was instantly lapped up by his admirers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The flying kiss he sent to his fans was the icing on the cake. 

His last outing, Annaatthe, was released on Deepavali 2021. The film directed by Siva was his release for the festival after more than two decades. As the movie didn't reach expectations, his fans have pinned high hopes on Jailer which is likely to hit the screens as a summer release in 2023.

The project bankrolled by Sun Pictures has Anirudh scoring music for it. An announcement on the inclusion of a few cast members was made sometime ago. Fans are looking forward to an update on the complete list of actors in the film.
