It's now almost confirmed that Rajinikanth is going to launch a Tamil-language television channel. Necessary documents have been submitted to the concerned Central Government departments, sources say.

A No-Objection Certificate has also been issued to the '2.0' superstar, paving the way to begin his channel. The application has been signed by ardent Rajini fan VM Sudhakar and the names that have been sought are 'Superstar TV', 'Rajini TV' and ' Thalaivar TV'. It sure is going to be a huge boost for the Rajini Makkal Mandram to have their own media to propagate Rajini's political ideology.

Tamil Nadu is replete with too many TV channels, much like in the Telugu States, catering to one or another political party.

Meanwhile, the Telugu title of 'Petta' has been decided to be 'Peta'. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, it will release for Pongal 2019 simultaneously in both Telugu and Tamil. The Superstar will soon start shooting for a new movie directed by A.R. Murugadoss.
