Actors Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan attended a special screening of Tamil film Ponnar Shankar. They were seated next to M Karunanidhi - the film is based on his novel of the same name.
Set in the period around 10th century, the film stars Prashanth, Khushboo, Seetha, Sneha, Divya Parameswaran and Pooja Chopra.
The screening was held on Wednesday evening after Tamil Nadu finished voting for its next government. Mr Karunanidhi hopes to return as Chief Minister.
During the day, there was much controversy over who Rajinikanth voted for. 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.
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.
