Rajinikanth recently watched a special screening of Annaatthe with his family, including his grandchild and Dhanush’s son Ved. In a voice message he posted on his Hoote account later, he said, "Ved wanted to watch the film sitting next to me. It was his first time watching my picture in a theatre. And he will never forget this experience in his life. He watched the whole movie with a lot of interest. And after the show, he hugged me tightly and he said to me that he was so happy. I was also very happy."
Annaatthe promises a no-holds-barred performance, by the superstar, who is returning to his commercial space after a long time. He is high on energy, despite the fact that the 70-year-old faced many health issues while shooting this film.
