Rajinikanth In UAE

On Monday, Rajinikanth spent some quality time with his friend Yusuff and some top executives of Lulu Group. While in Abu Dhabi, he visited Yusuf's house and even drove around in his Rolls-Royce. In a video shared by an employee of the company, Rajinikanth looks happy as he drives to the residence in a fancy car where they chat. Many wondered why Rajinikanth met these business leaders and some wondered if it was about business. But with this Thursday's announcement, it is clear that he used Yusuf's help to get the visa.

Rajinikanth's Upcoming Projects

After the release of October's "Vettaiyan," which also features Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati, Rajinikanth has some exciting movies lined up.
