Rajinikanth's upcoming Tamil movie Rana might have been temporarily shelved, but it has not stopped the movie from being in the news. The latest speculation, which is doing rounds in Kollywood, is that the superstar received Rs. 24 crores as a first instalment of his remuneration.
The Endhiran, who is the second highest paid actor in South Asia after Jackie Chan, has also major shares in the film, as the movie is co-produced by his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth. The movie is said to be made with a budget of Rs. 100 crores and the actor is reportedly getting Rs. 40 crores alone as a remuneration other than a share in the profit, says a report.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth, who left India to Singapore for further treatment is recovering well. His son-in-law has recently said that the actor would return to India in a few weeks. However, the project might delay for another six months, as the doctors have advised him to be in bed rest.
Superstar Rajinikanth, who is admitted at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, is in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) again. But the actor's condition is stable and he is on the way to recovery.
Rajini left to Singapore on Friday evening along with his family for further treatment and relaxation. A leading news channel reported that his son-in-law has told the channel that his health is stable. But the hospital sources have denied to reveal the details about Rajinikanth's health citing privacy reasons.
However, the 61-year-old actor left a short audio clip for the media and his fans. He said, “I am happily going about my routine. I will return as early as possible. How can I reciprocate the love you have shown for me? I get to act, for that you are showering so much love. How I will pay you all back?”
“I will conduct myself in such a way that I will never let down my fans across the world. I have God’s blessings and the blessings of the guru. Above all, I have the blessing of all my fans who are the manifestation of God,” he further elaborated in his one-minute message.
Before leaving India, Latha Rajinikanth said, “We will be travelling along with the Superstar to Singapore for treatment and rejuvenation. Please don’t believe in any unreal rumours.” She also thanked the supestars’ fans and well-wishers for their prayers for Rajini’s speedy recovery.
