Although the rain has ceased, water still lingers in many areas of the city despite government efforts. Union Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to visit Chennai on Friday to assess the situation.
On the professional front, Rajinikanth is engrossed in Thalaivar 170, a film that also features Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati in pivotal roles. Following this project, Rajinikanth is set to collaborate with Lokesh Kanagaraj for an untitled film, scheduled to commence filming in April 2024.
