The post quickly went viral, with fans and followers expressing admiration for Rajinikanth’s down-to-earth nature and his commitment to his family.

On the career front, Rajinikanth is shooting for the upcoming movie Coolie. He seems to be on a scheduled break as the production is ongoing in Hyderabad.

Coolie marks Rajinikanth's first collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has become a force to reckon with in the Indian film industry at sonic speed.

Lokesh made his directorial debut with Maanagaram in 2017. He waited over two years to make his second movie, Kaithi. However, post the phenomenal commercial and critical success of Kaithi, Lokesh's career is on a different trajectory. In the last five years, he has worked with all the top stars of the Tamil film industry, including Kamal Haasan, Thalapathy Vijay, and Suriya. His next project with Rajinikanth is another example of his growing influence in the Tamil film industry.
