Superstar Rajinikanth is in isolation in Hyderabad after four crew members of his film 'Annaathe' tested positive for COVID 19.  His preliminary tests results thankfully came negative.  Sun Pictures officially announced that the shooting of the film is postponed indefinitely and the cast and crew members except the positive ones are safe.

Reports from Hyderabad say that Rajini would once again undergo advanced COVID 19 tests later today.  Whether he would be returning to Chennai or continue for some more days in Hyderabad remains to be seen.  Rajini's daughter Aishwarya R Dhanush is also with him on this trip.

Meanwhile it is said that Rajini will as planned make the much-awaited announcement about when he will be launching his political party on December 31st.  Political analysts are saying it will be on January 17th which is also said to be an auspicious day for Rajini astrologically.
