Superstar Rajinikanth is likely to return to Chennai on Wednesday (July 13), according to reports. The actor, who was undergoing treatment in Singapore, was discharged last month.
Some reports say the Thalaivar’s daughter and wife of Tamil star Dhanush, Aishwarya (in Chennai for her brother-in-law Selvaraghavan’s wedding) has gone back to Singapore and will return with Rajini soon.
The date of Rajini’s arrival is being kept a secret as the Superstar’s fans may throng the airport on his arrival.
Earlier, Dhanush had told NDTV: "Rajinikanth has recovered. He is relaxed. He is waiting to start his next movie, Rana. He wants to entertain his fans. We are indebted to fans. The family is deeply touched," he added.
The Superstar had also handwritten a letter to his fans, saying it was they who enabled him to recover and he would soon appear in Rana and make them happy.
Rajini was shooting for the Tamil period film Rana on April 29 when he complained of exhaustion. Since then, he has been in and out of different hospitals. He travelled to Singapore on May 28 where he was admitted to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
Sources close to the actor's family remained tight-lipped about the star's return, while airport sources said flight tickets have been blocked for him and family members for Wednesday in an international carrier.
Rajinikanth, 61, is likely to arrive late Wednesday evening, amidst expected euphoria among his fans who have been praying for the good health of the actor.
Rajini had acknowledged in a recent letter to his fans that it was their prayers and love which saved him.
After suffering from exhaustion on April 29, the first day of the shoot of his period flick 'Rana', the actor was hospitalised twice. He was flown to Singapore in the last week of May for treatment of reported kidney ailment.
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi were among those who spoke to the star during his treatment at Mount Elizabeth hospital in Singapore.
