Rajinikanth
On Monday, superstar Rajinikanth spread some Diwali cheer as he greeted fans gathered outside his Chennai home. His appearance comes as makers of the film Jailer 2 dropped a behind-the-scenes video clip of the film, much to the delight of the star's fans and film buffs.
Shouts of "Happy Deepavali Thalaiva!!" rent the air as Rajinikanth made his way out of his residence to greet eagerly waiting fans. Rajinikanth, with a broad smile on his face, waved to fans and greeted them. This moment comes after the superstar's return from his Himalayan trip. He recently visited the mountains for a spiritual retreat.
If the reports are to be believed, Rajinikanth visited the Swami Dayananda Ashram in Rishikesh and offered his tribute to Swami Dayananda. During his time there, Thalaiva reportedly even meditated along the banks of the Ganga and also participated in the Ganga Aarti.
The reports further claimed that the 2.0 actor went to Dwarahat after Rishikesh.
In one of the viral images on social media, Rajinikanth was seen wearing white clothes, eating food served on disposable leaf plates (pattal) placed on a stone surface by the roadside. A car parked against a hilly backdrop was seen in the backdrop. Another photo had the superstar chatting with a group of men, most likely at the ashram, followed by a pic of Rajinikanth alongside a priest, offering his respects.
Meanwhile, Sun Pictures, the makers of his upcoming film 'Jailer 2', released a BTS video clip shot on the sets of the film to make Deepavali even more sweeter for fans.
Sun Pictures took to its social media timelines to share the link to the BTS video. It wrote, "Wishing everyone a super Deepavali.Here's a exclusive BTS from #Jailer2 #HappyDeepavali."
The released BTS video shows director Nelson and music director Anirudh having fun on the sets during the making of the announcement video. It also has Anirudh going to sleep using the pretext of meditation. "Let me meditate silently for five minutes," the music director is seen telling director Nelson.The video also shows Rajinikanth giving suggestions to Nelson on how a shot could be.
As in the case of Part 1, Jailer 2 will have Anirudh scoring the music and Nelson directing the film.
Jailer 2 promises to have loads of action just like the first part which went on to emerge a blockbuster, raking in a whopping 650 crores worldwide.
