Fans think Dhanush's son, Yatra Raja, is a perfect mix of him and Rajinikanth after his appearance at IFFI 2025. Watch

Rajinikanth was accompanied by his grandchildren as he was honoured at IFFI 2025 in Goa. But all eyes were on Dhanush and Aishwarya's son Yatra Linga.

At the 2025 International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held in Goa, Rajinikanth was honoured for 50 years of his career in the film industry. Accompanying him was his family, including his wife, children and grandchildren. Apart from Rajinikanth, it was Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s elder son, Yatra Raja, who caught everyone’s attention for his looks.

Dhanush's son Yatra Raja stole all the attention at IFFI 2025 when he accompanied his grandfather Rajinikanth.

Pictures and videos of Rajinikanth attending IFFI show him accompanied by his wife, Latha; children, Aishwarya and Soundarya; son-in-law, Vishagan Vanangamudi; and grandchildren, Yatra Raja, Linga, Ved Krishna, and Veer Rajinikanth Vanangamudi. Fans now believe that Aishwarya and Dhanush’s elder son Yatra, looks like a perfect mix of his father and grandfather. Pictures and videos of the 19-year-old show him dressed in a dark shirt and trousers. While Rajinikanth’s former son-in-law Dhanush wasn’t there, it looks like Yatra more than made up for it for the fans.

As soon as the pictures and videos began circulating on social media, fans couldn’t help but notice how similar Yatra looked to his father, Dhanush, and grandfather, Rajinikanth. “Dhanush's son (fire emoji),” wrote one excited fan. “#dhanush son Yatra looks like young version of @dhanushkraja sir..His attitudes looks like #Thalaivar #Rajinikanth sir,” wrote another. Others seemed to agree, because one fan commented, “Watching the elder one is an eye feast...he looks both like Rajini and Dhanush.” A fan even called him “Little Dhanush.” One fan thought even Linga was “ditto Dhanush.”

Rajinikanth honoured at IFFI 2025

On Friday, Rajinikanth was honoured for his five-decade career at IFFI, which he said feels like “10 to 15 years”. He also said that he would choose acting in “every lifetime”. “If I look back, it seems like I've just been around for 10 to 15 years, and that's because I love cinema and acting. Even if I were to have 100 janams (lives), I would like to be born as an actor, as Rajinikanth. Thank you for love and affection,” said the Tamil superstar. Last seen in Coolie, Rajinikanth will soon star in Jailer 2 and an untitled project produced by Kamal Haasan.
