Rajinikanth, an ardent devotee of Lord Venkates-wara, was accompanied by his wife Latha, daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya, and sons-in-law Danush and Aswin besides Telugu film star Mohanbabu, temple sources said. They spent about 30 minutes inside the temple, add the sources.

Family sources said the 61-year-old actor undertook the visit to pay his thanks to the Lord for his speedy recovery. Rajinikanth had last visited the shrine after the wedding of his daughter Soundarya with Ashwin on September 9 last year.

The actor, who took ill during the shoot of the film Rana in April, underwent treatment at a hospital in Singapore for reported kidney problem.
