Rajinikanth has acknowledged that Vijay-led TVK's stunning rise in Tamil Nadu politics after the victory in 2026 Assembly elections as well as his ability to overcome the dominance of the two major Dravidian parties had taken him by surprise.
28-year-old Karthikeyan, a crew member working on Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’ set in Chennai, died after suffering a fatal electric shock during set construction at a private studio in Panaiyur.
Actor Rajinikanth met DMK president M K Stalin at his residence in Chennai soon after the party’s disappointing performance in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The unexpected visit has triggered interest.
The superstar reached Stella Maris College in Chennai early in the day to take part in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. After casting his vote, he briefly greeted the moment by showing his inked finger outside the polling booth.
He stressed that youngsters must stay focused on education, health, and discipline instead of blindly following risky trends. He also advised them to keep away from bad company.
Actress, and politician Hema Malini was a part of an advisory panel at the ongoing WAVES 2025.
He said, “Many assumed that an event like this might get cancelled due to criticism. But I was sure it would go on. Because I trust our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi ji.”
The event, which marks a landmark moment in India’s entertainment industry, is going to officially kick off today with a grand inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After wrapping up the shoot for Rajinikanth's "Coolie", actress Shruti Haasan has officially started dubbing for her next.
“I didn’t ask Lokesh sir for anything,” he said. “He narrated the story and that was enough. Just standing next to Rajinikanth is enough for me.”
