Rajinikanth back home in time for 'Annaatthe' release after surgery

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is back home after undergoing a surgery to restore blood supply to the brain.

On Sunday night, the 70-year-old actor, wrapped in a shawl, took to Twitter to share a Hoote post. He was seen facing the mandir at his Chennai home.



Thanking his fans for the prayers, the 'Robot' star shared a voice note on Hoote - an app founded by his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth and co-founded by Sunny Pokala.

The Dadasaheb Phalke awardee was admitted to the city-based Kauvery Hospital on October 28, following an episode of giddiness. He underwent "Carotid Artery Revascularization" (CAR) on Friday, and was discharged from the hospital on Sunday evening.

Earlier in the day, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin had paid a visit to the actor at the hospital.

Rajini had launched the voice-based social media platform right after 67th National Film Awards ceremony in Delhi.

Pokala is known for creating Kavalan, a mobile citizen safety app in India, and Securra, a disruptive healthcare platform in New York.

Freshworks founder Girish Mathrubootham and Arvind Parthasarathi, tech entrepreneur from Silicon Valley, are advisors.

On the work front, Rajini's upcoming film 'Annathae' (elder brother) is slated to release on Diwali. The movie is directed by Siva and produced by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures.
