“Having recently completed a schedule of Shankar’s magnum opus 2.o, Rajinikanth decided to take a much-needed break to rejuvenate and resume shooting from June. He’s expected to stay in the US for nearly two weeks and return in the second week to join the sets again,” said a source close to the 65-year old star.

In Kabali, which is slated for release on July 1, Rajinikanth will be seen playing an ageing gangster. The film’s story is tipped to be based on the real-life story of a Chennai-based don. In Shankar’s 2.o, a sequel to blockbuster Enthiran, Rajinikanth will return as the popular scientist, Vaseegaran, and he will lock horns with Akshay Kumar in the film.
