Superstar Rajinikanth has left for the US with wife Latha in a chartered flight on Saturday for his routine medical check-up. Owing to the COVD-19 pandemic, he had obtained a special permission from the Centre for undertaking this foreign journey.

Though there is no word from his Public Relations guy Riaz K Ahmed of V4umedia, pictures and videos of the superstar from the Chennai airport have gone viral on social media platforms.

The actor who goes every year to the US for a health check-up, had to cancel his trip last year owing to the first wave of Covid pandemic, sources said.

The Superstar recently returned from Hyderabad after finishing shooting for ‘Annaatthe’ produced by Kalanidhi Maran’s Sun Pictures.

In one of the videos that has surfaced on Twitter, the actor can be seen getting off a red colour car at the Chennai airport. He’s joined by wife Latha Rajinikanth. Rajinikanth is seen wearing a black full-sleeved sweatshirt and a grey jeans.

According to reports, Superstar is expected to meet Ilaya Superstar and son-in-law Dhanush K Raja, who is shooting for a Hollywood film ‘The Gray Man’ in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s ‘Annaatthe’ is gearing up for release coming Diwali. Tipped to be a rural drama, the film also stars Keerthy Suresh and yesteryear heroines Meena and Khushbhu Sundar in key roles.

The film was officially launched in 2019 December in Chennai in a low-key affair.

Rajinikanth, who was last seen on screen in AR Murugadoss directed ‘Darbar,’ will be seen playing the role of a village president in ‘Annaatthe,’ which is expected to have few punch dialogues in his own style.

The film, which features late SP Balasubrahmanyam’s last song, has music by D Imman.
