WATCH: Rajinikanth Gets MOBBED In Dehradun Ahead Of Himalaya Trip As Jailer Hits Theatres

Superstar Rajinikanth is back in theatres after two years as his much-awaited film 'Jailer' released on August 10, Thursday. While fans are celebrating the film's release like a festival, the star himself has distanced himself from the frenzy and has taken off to the Himalayas.

On Wednesday morning, Rajinikanth was seen leaving his Chennai residence in the early hours to continue his Himalayan trip, which he had left incomplete during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He, however, passed on a message to his fans before leaving and urged them to watch 'Jailer' and share their honest feedback.
