Actor Rajinikanth has left for the US for a medical check-up, a source said.
“Rajini sir left to the US with his daughter Aishwarya last night [Wednesday]. He has gone for a regular medical check-up. They will be back in mid-July,” a source close to the actor said.
The source said Rajinikanth is “absolutely fine”.
He has completed the first schedule shooting of his upcoming Tamil film, Kaala. The 67-year-old will return to the sets of Kaala, in which he plays a slum-lord-turned-gangster, in July.
Kaala reunites Rajinikanth and Kabali director Pa. Ranjith.
The film, which also stars Nana Patekar, Huma Qureshi, Anjali Patil, Pankaj Tripathi, Samuthirakani and Sakshi Aggarwal, is being bankrolled by actor-producer Dhanush.
