South Superstar Rajinikanth, who has been avoiding public outings due to the coronavirus scare, paid a visit to Ilayaraja's music studio on February 15. He also visited the music composer's residence before heading to his studio in Chennai's Kodambakkam. Rajinikanth said visiting Ilayaraja's music studio 'felt like being inside a temple'.

Rajini's upcoming projects

On the work front, Rajinikanth will resume the shooting of his upcoming film 'Annaatthe' in March this year. The makers are planning to shoot the remaining portions of the film in a month. An official confirmation regarding the shooting schedule of Annaatthe will be announced soon.

Rajinikanth will complete his portions in a single schedule allowing ample time for its post-production work. The shooting of Annaatthe which resumed in December last year had to be halted after members of the crew contracted COVID-19.

Despite testing negative for the disease, Rajinikanth had a minor health scare. Last year, he was hospitalised due to severe fluctuations in blood pressure. The doctors who treated Rajinikanth in Hyderabad advised the actor to take enough rest and avoid stress.
