Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, almost all the celebrities have urged fans and followers on social media to get themselves vaccinated. Many of them have got the doses and shared pictures and videos on social media. The next one is Superstar Rajinikanth. His daughter Soundarya shared a picture on her Twitter account where we could see the Superstar nonchalantly getting himself vaccinated and the caption of his daughter was absolutely apt. She wrote- "Our Thalaivar gets his vaccine. Let us fight and win this war against Corona virus together."
Have a look at the post right here:
Last month in April, the news of Rajinikanth getting the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award reached Mavadi Katepathar village, about 60 km from Pune, and some villagers said they were awaiting the Tamil superstar to keep his promise of visiting his native place.
"Shivajirao Gaikwad (Rajinikanth's name before he became an actor) is a son of the soil who made it big in the movies. He had assured us when he was shooting at Lonavala a few years ago that he will visit his native place and we feel he will keep his word," a villager said.
Rajini's roots are in the village that is still home to many Gaikwads, he said. Some villagers met Rajinikanth a few years ago when he was in Lonavala for a shoot, he added.
"We tried to catch up with him during the shoot but were sent away by the security guards. Later, we went to his hotel and waited for him near the lift.
"We introduced ourselves in Hindi and he asked us to speak in Marathi. We were surprised to know that he speaks fluent Marathi," he said.
Over the years, the Superstar has acted in films like Sivaji: The Boss, Robot, Chandramukhi, Petta, Lingaa, Kabali, Kaala, and Darbar.
