Post bucking out of politics, Superstar Rajinikanth went to Hyderabad to complete a schedule of Annaatthe, which is directed by Siva and produced by Sun Pictures’s Kalanithi Maran. He returned a few days earlier, after having completed that schedule and was welcomed with an arati by his wife, Latha Rajinikanth.
He also took the second jab to safeguard himself against the coronavirus. His daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth, later, met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin to hand over relief to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund from her and her husband’s (Vishagan Vanangamudi) end.
The ensemble cast of Annaatthe also includes Meena, Khushbu, Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Jackie Shroff, Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, Soori and Sathish among others. D Imman scores the music. Now, it has come to be known that the songs in the album have been sung by the late SP Balasubrahmanyam, Sid Sriram and D Imman himself, and there would be totally six songs in the mix.
SPB, as he is fondly known, has a long history of delivering Superstar’s introductory song, so much so that there exists a belief that if SPB sings Rajini’s intro song, the film is bound to be a hit and musicians, typically avoid giving the intro song to some other singer, owing to this superstition. Their hits include “Naan Autokaran” from Baasha, “Vandhenda Paalkaran” from Annamalai, to the recent “Naan Dhaanda Inimelu...” from Darbar.
