Celebden wishes Rajnikanth a speedy recovery…

It may take a while before we see Rajinikanth back in his larger-than-life avatar, as the superstar of South cinema has been admitted to a hospital for the third time in the past two months.
Fans have been earnestly praying for his speedy recovery and the doctors have assured that Rajinikanth’s health is gradually stabilizing.
Rajinikanth is presently undergoing treatment for lung and liver ailments at Sri Ramchandra Medical Centre at Porur where he was hospitalized on Saturday. On Monday, the doctors conducted a minor surgical procedure to remove excess fluid from the actor’s lungs and he is said to be doing better since then.
Meanwhile, there has been a rumour that Rajini sir is suffering from lung cancer.
Special teams of doctors are attending to the actor to investigate the root of the problem and provide him the necessary treatment. In addition, doctors have advised that Rajini restrict visitors completely to avoid recurring infections.
Meanwhile, the fate of Rajinikanth’s next film Rana hangs in the balance as the superstar is not likely to resume work soon.
We wish the mega star a speedy recovery.

Rajinikanth works his appeal on healing center patients

The doctors at St. Isabel Hospital in Mylapore have removed phlegm from Rajini’s chest and he has been feeling a lot better. So instead of just dozing all the time, Rajini has been meeting other patients and enquiring about their health.

Doctors say even the sickest of patients have smiled after meeting Rajinikanth. “He is full of energy and his health condition isn’t stopping him from thinking about the others,” a doctor is quoted as saying.

Rajinikanth was hospitalised on Wednesday last week. The superstar’s health has been out of sorts ever since he began filming his next movie Rana on April 29. On the inaugural day of the shoot, he was hospitalized briefly and was advised total rest for a few days. But Rajini returned to work only to make his health worse and was hospitalised again. He is likely to be discharged soon.

Rajinikanth needs ‘more beautiful’ Deepika Padukone

Rajinikanth needs ‘more beautiful’ Deepika Padukone: Deepika Padukone couldn’t stop thanking her stars when she was signed for Rana opposite Rajinikanth. She especially arranged dates for the movie, and even walked out of the Housefull sequel. Deepika was supposed to start shooting with everyone’s favourite Rajnikant in Chennai. But the superstar has delayed the shoot for a week and has briefed his make-up team to give a new look to Deepika.

Pleasing Rajini Sir has turned out to be a tough job. Shooting of Rana will only commence once Rajinikanth is satisfied with Deepika’s stunning Rana look. And how she should look? As sources disclose to a tabloid, Deepika needs to look simple yet traditionally beautiful. Director K S Ravikumar now has to assure Rajini that Deepika looks the way he wants her to. Rana has the Tamil superstar in a triple role; Deepika is paired opposite the young Rajini.

Rajnikanth agrees but withdraws

Smash Telugu hit, Magadheera starring Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Agarwal is to be released in Tamil as Maaveeran. The production house, Geetha Arts and Superstar Rajinikanth share an association that goes back a long way. So the makers invited the great man as the guest of honor for the grand music launch that was scheduled to take place in Chennai with Telugu luminaries such as Megastar Chiranjeevi and Allu Arjun. Rajinikanth agreed to grace the occasion but had to pull out at the last minute.
Apparently, the Superstar wishes to maintain a low profile after the controversy that sprang up during elections, when television channels were said to have captured the lucky party that got his vote. It is being claimed that the election commissioner might order re-polling at this booth. Since he is in the eye of the storm, he felt that he should withdraw.
We hope things go smoothly for all concerned parties.

Rajinikant back in Bollywood

One of Rajinikanth’s smash hits Badsha is being dubbed in Hindi and will be released next month. The Superstar’s Badsha was a blockbuster in which he played an underworld don and an auto driver. The film was directed by Suresh Krissna.
Pairing up with Rajini in this film was Nagma. The other supporting cast includes Raghuvaran, Vijayakumar, Janakraj, and Devan. Music for Badsha was scored by Deva. The audio launch of the Hindi version is slated to be held very soon and sources report that Rajini will participate in it.

Controversy Over Who Rajinikanth Voted For

There are few public personalities that Tamil Nadu loves as much as actor Rajinikanth.

So who he voted for in yesterday's election has become a hot topic. Especially because television cameras that followed him into the polling booth seemed to capture his hand hovering near the two-leaves election symbol of Jayalalithaa's AIADMK.

That may have led to some uneasy conversation a few hours later when Rajinikanth sat next to DMK Chief M Karunanidhi at a screening of new film Ponnar Shankar. Mr Karunanidhi hopes to return as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The period film is based on the novel written by him by the same name.

In 1996, Rajinikanth had famously declared "Even God can't save Tamil Nadu if Jayalalithaa is elected to power". The DMK won that election. The superstar later made up with Jayalalithaa and she attended his daughter's wedding in Chennai in November 2004.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Hospitality Needs No Introduction

Superstar Rajinikanth’s hospitality needs no introduction. The top actor would always give his guests special treatment, perhaps having in mind the popular adage ’Athithi Devo Bhava…’
Of late, we hear that the Superstar is gifting those visiting his house a small figurine of him, with the words ’Un Vaazhkai Un Kaiyyil’ (a dialogue from ’Baadsha’) craved on it.
"Also, he would give a figurine of his ‘Rajathi Raja’ still to children and youngsters visiting him. The gifts Rajini give would differ, based on the age and nature of the visitors.
But they would no doubt inspire him in some way or the other," sources close to the ’Thalaivar’ say.
