Rajinikanth visits Badrinath

In a short video shared by Press Trust of India on their X handle, Rajinikanth was seen arriving at the Badrinath Temple in Uttarakhand on Saturday. The clip started with the star waving at the camera with a bunch of fans. Rajinikanth was spotted in a light blue sweater and also wore gloves. As he ascended the steps to enter the temple, many fans extended their hands to touch him. He was also seen meeting a fan near the entry gate and smiling at him. Rajinikanth was surrounded by a number of security officers, as he made his way inside the temple.

Jailer release

To celebrate the release of Jailer on Thursday, multiple offices and schools in the southern states declared a holiday on August 10. A company even said in its notice that it declared a holiday on August 10 'to avoid piled up leave requests to the HR department'. The notice further said, “We also take the privilege of going the extra mile to support antipiracy by providing free tickets to employees...”

Tirupur Subramaniam, who is the film distributor and head of Tamil Nadu's Theatre Owners' Association, had told PTI earlier: "It is a Rajinikanth film. Of course, it will be ushered in with celebrations. We don't have fan shows any more like before, but that is not dampening the spirit of the fans. The movie is being shown in 900 screens across Tamil Nadu and all of them wear a festive look."
