Tamil superstar Rajinikanth will pay homage to his fans who shaved off their heads at the Palani temple in Tamil Nadu for his speedy recovery.Two days ago, 1,008 men tonsured their heads as an offering to Lord Murugan at Palani temple in Tamil Nadu for the actor's speedy recovery.
The Boss is so touched by the act that he plans to visit the temple soon to pay his respects to the lord and his fans.
A source says, "Rajini sir is feeling much better now. When he heard about these fans, he was overwhelmed by their gesture. He surely plans to go to the temple when he is fit enough to travel."
The admirers, members of various Rajinikanth fan clubs across Tamil Nadu, apparently held a mass head shaving ceremony. They also underwent a 48-day fast before they went to the temple. This is not the first time Rajini mania has unleashed itself in full force.
Before the release of Endhiran (Robot), the same number of women visited the same temple carrying vessels of milk as offering for the success of the film. Interestingly, all their prayers seem to have been answered, as the team of Rana has finally zeroed in on a date to resume shooting with Rajini.
Adds director K S Ravikumar, "I met Rajini Sir and our shooting will begin by October." The film will go on floors on October 3 at Ramoji Studios in Hyderabad, where two different sets of a palace and a ship are already being constructed.
Adds the source, "It is a period film and there are a lot of logistics. This might end up being Rajnikanth's most expensive film. Also, A R Rahman has finished composing four songs for the film and most probably they will resume shooting the song sequences first."
