Scores of admirers thronged at the Chennai airport and outside Rajini’s house with pooja thalis and garlands to welcome their idol and star.
"It's crazy over here in Chennai. As soon as news spread that Rajniji is returning, all of the city got ready to give him a resounding reception," a source told a daily.
Excited about Rajini’s return, fans told NTDV, “He is our God and we are so lucky to see him after two months. Our leader please come for a corruption free society."

Rajini missed his fans and family
According to sources close to Rajinikanth, the veteran superstar missed his fans and kin a lot during his stay in Singapore.
Though the doctors had advised him to rest for some more time in the foreign country, Rajini, who was not able to stay away from his homeland any longer, flew back to Chennai Wednesday night.
A source close to Rajini revealed, "He missed home. He missed his friends, family and fans. He insisted on returning now.”
It’s heard that Rajinikanth will be residing in his farmhouse, which is close to to Chennai, for about a month.
Shelved ‘Rana’ likely to go on floors in September
Gossipmongers have suggested that though Rajini is back in Chennai now, doctors have asked him to take rest for one more month before starting off with his work.
It’s learned that the superstar’s shelved project ‘Rana’ is likely to go on floors in September.
Bollywood hottie Deepika Padukone, who has been signed in for ‘Rana’ opposite Rajini, has assured the veteran legend that she will be available for the shooting of the film, whenever required.
"Deepika has assured the superstar that she will be there to shoot whenever he's ready to do so," said a source.
The source further added, "She won't do any Tamil film until their film together is completed. This is her way of showing how much a film with India's greatest screen idol after Amitabh Bachchan matters to her.”
