“Rajnikanth Is  Back. He Is  Fine, But No Stunts”

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth returned on June 9  from the US after his  annual medical checkup. According to sources close to the  mega-star, he is in  sound health.

“But he  needs  to  go easy  on the work friend. The doctors have advised him not to over-do it.He  is to follow  a strict  diet and  sleeping-working regime,” a close  family friend  informs me.

So does this  mean Rajini  would be  working less now?

“Yes, most likely. His  family, wife Latha and two daughters, are dead-set against Rajini straining himself. He has  one project on hand Siruthai Siva’s  Annaatthe which  requires  around 15 more days  of shooting. There wil be absolutely no strain to complete the shooting. As  for the stunts, they are  completely  out of bounds for Rajini. They will be performed  entirely by doubles.”

Earlier this  year Rajinikant  said a final no to politics,  apparently for health reasons. Which, say  the well-informed, is only  part  of  the truth. The main reason why Rajinikanth said no to politics  was  because all his well-wishers advised  him  it wasn’t  his cup  of tea.

“Rajini Sir enjoys coffee, not tea,” a young Tamil actor  deadpans.
