With just a day to go for the film’s release, the excitement seems to be rising by the minute.

The film, which, apart from Rajinikanth, also features Nayanthara, Khushbu, Meena, Keerthy Suresh and Jagapathi Babu among others, has music by Imman and cinematography by Vetri.

Superstar Rajinikanth is 70 years old and is still a crowd-puller in South Indian cinema. The actor is facing health issues and he canceled his political entry at the last minute. He acted in more than 160 films and enjoys a huge fan following all over the world. He is also known as the God of Indian Cinema. The actor is now talking about his acting retirement.

Rajinikanth has already wrapped up his part for his upcoming film Annaatthe and the post-production work is happening. The actor turned emotional with Annaatthe crew while talking about his retirement. Rajinikanth told the crew that he wanted to act in few more films if his health supports. He is soon planning to fly to the US for his regular medical check-up and he will reside there for few months.

Annaatthe is directed by Siva and is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures banner. Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Meena, Khushbu Sundhar and Prakash Raj will be seen playing pivotal roles in the film which will hit the screens for Diwali this year.

Superstar Rajinikanth is on a break after he got hospitalized recently. The actor was shooting for his next film Annaatthe and the shoot was put on hold from the last week of December. Shiva is the director of this rural entertainer and the shoot of the film resumes soon. Though the makers initially wanted to release the film for summer, the release is pushed considering the health condition of Rajinikanth. The makers today announced that Annaatthe will hit the screens on November 4th on the occasion of Diwali.

Khushbu Sundar, Meena, Prakash Raj, Nayanthara and Keerthy Suresh will be seen playing other crucial roles in Annaatthe. Sun Pictures are the producers and Imman is the music director. Rajinikanth will be seen in a role with dual shades in Annaatthe.
