Rajinikanth and his spirituality

Rajinikanth’s deep-rooted interest in spirituality is well-known. Annually, he undertakes a pilgrimage to the Himalayas. This year, his journey included visits to sacred sites such as Kedarnath, Badrinath, and numerous other shrines.

In an interview with ANI at the Dehradun airport, the Tamil superstar expressed his sentiments, stating, “Each year, I encounter new experiences that propel me to embark on my spiritual quest repeatedly. I anticipate that this journey will also bring forth fresh insights.”

He further added, “The whole world needs spirituality, as it’s important for every human being. Being spiritual means experiencing peace and tranquillity, and fundamentally, it involves believing in God.”

Rajinikanth’s most recent outing was Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer (2023). The movie, bankrolled by Sun Pictures, became a blockbuster by grossing over ₹600 crore globally.
