Leaders greet superstar Rajinikanth on his 70th birthday
Fans of the megastar who had assembled outside his residence at the Poes Garden were in for a disappointment though.
Chennai: Southern superstar Rajinikanth turned 70 on Saturday and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Palaniswami and DMK President M.K. Stalin led others in greeting the veteran actor, who is set to launch his party soon.
Fans of the megastar who had assembled outside his residence at the Poes Garden were in for a disappointment though.
They had arranged to cut the birthday cake for their idol and had hoped to greet their star but Rajinikanth was not at his residence and had gone away with his family.
In a tweet Palaniswami said: “My heartiest birthday greetings to Rajinkanth for a long and healthy life.”
திரு @rajinikanth அவர்கள் நீண்ட ஆயுளுடனும் ஆரோக்கியத்துடனும் வாழ எனது உளமார்ந்த பிறந்தநாள் வாழ்த்துக்களை தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்.
