During his visit, Rajinikanth spent quality time with Yusuff and other top executives of Lulu Group, including a visit to Yusuff’s residence where he enjoyed a ride in a Rolls Royce. Speculations arose regarding the purpose of these meetings, with some suggesting business discussions. However, the announcement of the Golden Visa clarifies that Rajinikanth sought Yusuff’s assistance for the visa process.

Rajinikanth has exciting projects in the pipeline, including the film “Vettaiyan” set to release in October, which features Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati. Additionally, he will star in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s “Coolie.” Despite a positive response to the film’s announcement teaser, it faced legal issues regarding the music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, leading to a legal notice from Ilaiyaraaja for unauthorized use of one of his old songs.
