Chennai: The Madras High Court today ordered issue of notice to Tamil superstar Rajinikant on a plea by a financier seeking to initiate action against Kasthoori Raja, father of the actor's son-in-law.

The financier Mukund Botra contended that Kasthoori Raja had given a written assurance to him that if he fails to repay the money he borrowed, Rajanikant would repay it.
