Superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday called on former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalitha at the latter’s residence in Chennai, to formally invite her to the engagement ceremony of his youngest daughter Soundarya.

The top actor was accompanied by his wife Latha Rajinikanth, elder daughter Aishwarya Dhanush Rajinikanth and Soundarya. They were in the former Chief Minister’s place for about 25 minutes (from 2.20 to 2.45 pm), sources say.

As soon as the news spread that Rajinikanth was calling on Jayalalitha, scores of AIADMK workers and Rajini fans gathered in front of the Poes Garden residence of the former Chief Minister. However, the Superstar and his family members left the place before that, it is said.

The betrothal ceremony of Soundarya with Chennai-based entrepreneur Ashwin is scheduled on February 17. Rajini has been personally inviting his friends and peers for the function.
