Rajinikanth's work front:

The man who needs no introduction in any part of the country is one of the most loved actors. He was last seen on screen in the film 'Lal Salaam' directed by his daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth. 'Lal Salaam' is a sports drama in which superstar Rajinikanth played the role of Moideen Bhai. The film which has music by AR Rahman also stars Vishnu Vishal, Vikranth, Nirosha Radha, and Senthil among others. The movie was released in theatres on 9 February 2024.

At the audio launch event, Aishwarya had revealed that it was initially difficult to mount this project as many producers didn't come forward to bankroll it. She also revealed that she did not consider asking her father to be a part of the project.

She said, "When my father heard the script, he asked me if he could do Moideen Bhai's role. I was hesitant initially. I thought, me being his daughter, I still had no right to tarnish his legacy. I never thought about him for the role until he himself suggested".
