Superstar Rajinikanth met his fans today after a gap of nine years at the Raghavendra Wedding Hall in Chennai. Fan clubs shared pictures of the 66-year-old, dressed in black, from the venue. This week, Rajinikanth will reportedly meet his fans from 17 districts and get individual pictures clicked with them. Passes would reportedly be given to 200-250 fans from each district and every day, three to four districts will be covered. Rajinikanth last organised a meet-and-greet session with his fans in 2008. Here are photos from Rajinikanth's conference with his fans.
Rajinikanth had announced he'd meet his fans in April and get group pictures clicked with them
but rescheduled the meet-and-greet session after fans insisted on getting individual pictures. Rajinikanth said in an audio message: "We had decided to invite 1,800 to 2,000 fans of them to participate during the meeting. It was my desire. But, later, we realised that it is not practically feasible to take individual photographs with everyone during the meeting and had decided to take photo sessions in eight member groups. Since we realised it is difficult to take pictures individually, we decided to postpone the meeting. We are planning to conduct it in future by inviting fans from two districts each and take pictures with them individually."
Rajinikanth was last seen in Pa. Ranjith's
Kabali in which he played a Malaysia-based don. His next film
2.0 will release in January. The Shankar-directed film is a sequel to 2010 film
Enthiran (which released as
Robot in Hindi).
2.0 also stars Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson.
