Dehradun: Superstar Rajinikanth, who has previously undertaken spiritual journeys to the Himalayas, is now planning to visit more holy caves. The superstar left Chennai and reached Dehradun in Uttarakhand to begin his journey. At the Dehradun airport, Rajinikanth spoke to ANI about his spiritual journeys.
He explained how these journeys help him grow. He said, “Every year I get new experiences, which helps me continue my spiritual journey again and again. I am sure that this time too I will get new experiences.” Rajinikanth also explained why spirituality is important.
“The whole world needs spirituality, because it is important for every human being. Being spiritual means experiencing peace and stability, and basically, it involves believing in God.”
Recently, Rajinikanth visited the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi. Videos and photos of Rajinikanth taking blessings at the temple were posted on the official social media accounts of BAPS Hindu Temple. Rajinikanth was granted a Golden Visa by the UAE Department of Culture and Tourism.
The veteran actor expressed his gratitude to the Abu Dhabi government and his friend, Lulu Group Chairman and Managing Director MA Yusuff Ali for their support in securing the visa. In one of the viral videos, he said, “I am very honoured to receive the prestigious UAE Golden Visa from the Abu Dhabi government…”
Talking about acting, Rajinikanth has completed the shooting of his upcoming film ‘Vettaiyaan’, which is directed by TJ Gnanavel. ‘Vettaiyaan’ also stars Amitabh Bachchan.
Rajinikanth’s 170th film ‘Vettaiyaan’ is scheduled to release worldwide in October this year. Earlier this month, Rajinikanth and Amitabh were spotted shooting some scenes together in Mumbai. Amitabh shared a photo on his Instagram handle in which he and Rajinikanth are seen together.
In the picture, Amitabh and Rajinikanth are seen hugging and having a fun conversation. Sharing the post, Amitabh wrote, “I feel honoured and privileged to be with Thala The Great Rajini again… He hasn’t changed at all… The same simple, humble and down to earth friend despite his greatness!!!”
Earlier, the production company released the title teaser of the film on Rajinikanth’s 73rd birthday. The film stars Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier and Dushara Vijayan. Anirudh Ravichander is the music composer of the film. Rajinikanth was spotted shooting for the film in various locations like Trivandrum, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin.
Rajinikanth was last seen in his daughter Aishwarya’s film ‘Lal Salaam’. This Tamil language sports drama tackles themes of caste oppression and religious discrimination and has received mixed reviews. Lal Salaam stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead roles, while Rajinikanth appears in an extended cameo as Moideen Bhai.
