Rajinikanth is said to be absolutely fine, and it's only a routine checkup. "Rajini sir left to the US with his daughter Aishwarya last night (Wednesday). He has gone for a regular medical checkup. They will be back in mid-July," a source close to the actor told IANS.

Meanwhile, in his next Kaala, Rajini plays the role of a slum-lord-turned-gangster. The third schedule is expected to resume by mid-July once the superstar returns to Chennai. Kaala marks the reunion of Rajinikanth with director Pa. Ranjith after the blockbuster entertainer Kabali, released in 2016.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's much-awaited Enthiran 2 (2.0), directed by Shankar, is expected to hit the screens only in April next year due to delay in post-production works. The mega-budget entertainer is simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, and dubbed into major foreign languages.
