Rajinikanth takes break from Lal Salaam shoot to pay obeisance at Annamalaiyar temple

Superstar Rajinikanth took a break from the Lal Salaam shoot and visited the famous Annamalaiyar temple located in Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. Videos and pictures of the actor offering prayers at the famous Lord Shiva shrine have stormed social media.

Hyderabad: Megastar Rajinikanth paid obeisance at the famous Annamalaiyar temple in Tamil Nadu. In the busy schedule of his shooting for his forthcoming movie Lal Salaam, the actor took a break from work and visited the temple to seek blessings. Despite being a celebrity, he showed simplicity by going to a temple and praying to the deity like a commoner.

A number of images and video clips of the megastar have been doing the rounds on social media and soon went viral. The actor simply donned a light brown T-shirt and dhoti without adding any accessories to the ensemble. A few people gathered in the temple to catch a glimpse of the actor as he entered the holy shrine.

The Kabali actor visited the shrine while filming for his daughter Aishwaryaa's directorial movie Lal Salaam. Rajinikanth is portraying an extended cameo in the movie which went on floors earlier this year. Rajini's first look as Moideen Bhai from Lal Salaam was highly criticized by fans for poor quality.
