Superstar Rajinikanth has released a special video message aimed at the Tamil people living abroad in various countries. He has stated " I pray to God that this Tamil New Year turns out to be a pleasant one to one and all. The whole world has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and India and Tamil Nadu are no exceptions. Friends and relatives of people living abroad would be constantly thinking of you. Whichever country you are residing in please follow without fail the instructions and restrictions of the governments there. Please be safe and this is the biggest gift that you can give your family and relatives. Live safe..don't worry...Even this shall pass'.

Rajinikanth earlier this morning had also reached out to his fans and the general public writing ""Let this new year turn out be a sweet one. In these distressing times, I take this opportunity to appreciate my Rajini Makkal Mandram cadres who are risking their live to serve the public. Please stay safe by following all the restrictions and instructions put forward by the governments. This too will pass."

#SuperstarRajinikanth wishes all a #HappyTamilNewYear & prays that everyone across the globe is safe at home, abiding by the rules of the Government! ??????#StayHome #fightagainstcorona @rajinikanth @OfficialLathaRK @ash_r_dhanush @soundaryaarajni @V4umedia_ @rmmoffice pic.twitter.com/TMlMi7AzsC
